Estate Fortsberg is situated in a very special and private location on the south side of St. John, just outside the wonderfully charming and quaint hamlet of Coral Bay. The house sits on a promontory of land within the National Park boundaries, overlooking Hurricane Hole and Coral Bay, at an elevation of 260 feet on historic Fortsberg Mountain. The views from the pool deck are epic and serene.

The home encompasses 270 degree views with every window offering breathtaking private views. The thoughtful design of this villa makes it possible to rent it as a four-bedroom house, with all rooms open, or alternatively as a two-bedroom property for one or two couples seeking solitude and luxury.

Early risers will be delighted by the gorgeous sunrises to the east. In the evening of the full moon phase, Estate Fortsberg affords phenomenal views of the moonrise. Look northward to the towering island of Tortola and Southeast to distant Norman Island.

The pool deck at Estate Fortsberg is furnished with comfortable lounge chairs and dining areas. There is full sun, shade, and breeze in this idyllic spot.

Loved your villa! Six adults enjoyed pool, hot tub and ping pong table. Beautiful sunrises! Great breezes. The private road was an adventure each time we used it, frequently greeted by one of the donkeys. The bird bath attracted beautiful birds. The nightly visit of bats was something else!

What a wonderful vacation. Thanks so much for sharing your small slice of paradise with us. We had a wonderful time. The best part was sitting on the terrace and enjoying the view and the pool. Miss Vie’s Snack Shack has a great beach and really good chicken and conch fritters, best on the island. Thanks once again for sharing your beautiful home with us.

We are here with our family to celebrate our 30th anniversary! What a fabulous villa, so spectacular, that one forgets the bumpy ride. Being in Coral Bay is so peaceful and beautiful. Definitely island time! While we were here our oldest proposed to his girlfriend, a momentous occasion. Life certainly goes in circles.

I was here with my brother, my mom and dad. We have come to this island 10 times, but this is our favorite so far. We like to be on the East End. The pool is so, so cool because we could look out at the Caribbean. I feel like the luckiest 10 year old on earth. Have a fun vacation.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. It was everything that we expected. The views were amazing! It was worth the trip up and down the mountain every day. This was spring break for my family and the kids' first trip to the Caribbean. We enjoyed hiking up the trail to Rams Head and making rock sculptures along the path. Our favorite place to snorkel was Princess Bay; the shore is rocky but there were a lot of beautiful fish close to the shoreline. We also enjoyed Maho Bay; there were several large turtles and sting rays. Hope to be back soon.

So fortunate to celebrate my 50th birthday on St. John and to stay at such a spectacular villa. Experiencing the beauty and the sight of the Caribbean with my family and friends has been a special gift that I will always treasure. We particularly enjoyed our boat ride to the British Virgin Islands, brunch at Concordia, and spending time on the terrace here.

We came, we saw but unlike in our busy lives stateside, we felt no need to conquer. Instead we let the peace and tranquillity this island has to offer wash over all of us. All sense of time was lost as we enjoyed the pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and candlelight dinners under the stars. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

What a beautiful home with a beautiful, spectacular view at the end of a crazy dirt road! We have had several trips here and this place was our favorite! We did our favorite things and we stayed home one day and floated in the pool. We enjoyed the donkeys, chickens, goats, geckos, iguanas, and bannaquits. Everything was perfect. Hope to be back soon.

We had a fantastic first trip to St. John. Everything was perfect. The house exceeded our expectations! The view is one of dreams; I kept pinching myself to see if I was awake! Everything we did was our favorite! Believe or not we loved the driveway, an adventure every time we came home.

Thank you for sharing your amazing villa, truly paradise! We brought the whole family and had a wonderful time, snorkelling, relaxing by the pool, sunrise, Skinny’s for burgers, breakfast at Donkey Diner (and pizza on Wednesdays, a must)! Eating out on the terrace, the views are gorgeous! The Fort behind the house, a hidden piece of history. So much to take in, it is hard to leave this beautiful villa and island. Best vacation in a long time, kids had a blast and we were still able to relax.
