We are Al and Marykae Scott, the owners of Lime in de Coconut, Utopia Peter Bay, Shangri-La Villa, The Beach Oasis Villa, The Palms North & South Villas, Coconut Cottage, Poseidon’s Retreat, and Neptune’s Retreat. Yes, that is a substantial collection of properties on the island—and it is a true reflection of our deep love for St. John.
We are drawn to the quiet calm and natural beauty of the island. It is a very special place, with its charming town, gentle green hillsides, and crystal-clear turquoise waters.
We first began visiting St. John as a couple in 2011, renting various accommodations over the years. After many trips, we decided it was time to purchase a place of our own—somewhere that captured everything we loved about the island. Waterfront living was our top priority. When we discovered Lime in de Coconut, we fell in love with it immediately and purchased it without hesitation. Since then, we have completed extensive renovations, transforming it into a true tropical paradise with abundant palm trees and lush landscaping.
Our entire family shares this affection for the island. At every family gathering, stories and cherished memories of time spent here are always shared. It remains everyone’s favorite vacation destination. St. John is a magical place, rich with the blessings of nature.
As we began renting the villa, we consistently heard from guests that it was the best vacation they had ever experienced. Inspired by that feedback, we decided to expand and carefully sought out additional exceptional properties on St. John. Our goal is simple: we want every guest to fall in love with the island and enjoy the very best possible vacation, just as we do.
Today, we are proud to offer true one-stop shopping for your St. John experience. In addition to our collection of villas, we now provide vehicle rentals, luxury airport-to-villa transfers, and private day boat trips around St. John or to the British Virgin Islands. From the moment you arrive until the day you depart, we are here to help make your stay seamless and memorable.
We hope you will feel the same positive energy that defines both the island and our villas. This is our escape—and we invite you to make it yours. Come experience the beauty, relaxation, and lasting memories that await you on St. John.
