What Makes Us Green

A House of Open Arms is a two-unit villa in Coral Bay on the island of St. John. The house is entirely powered by solar energy and fed by purified rainwater, making it an elegant choice for an environmentally friendly vacation.

The one-bedroom Villa is located on the lower level of the main house, and opens up to an expansive porch with a wonderful private garden and an absolutely breathtaking 180-degree view of the sea. The Villa features a pool, spacious living room, private bathroom, and full kitchen.

The Cottage is a studio suite, featuring an airy main room that serves as a living room during the day and a bedroom at night. It also features a private bathroom with an outdoor stone shower, wraparound porch with a phenomenal view of the sea, and an outdoor grilling area.

A House of Open Arms takes its name from the "arms" of the island that reach out to wrap the knob of Fortsberg in their folds. From every point on the property, there are amazing views of the open ocean framed by the two arms of St. John. To see where the house is located on the island, scroll down to the sketch of St. John toward the bottom of the page.

Hillsides rich with nature surround A House of Open Arms. Many species of birds grace the property, including bananaquits, hummingbirds, kestrels, bullfinches, and frigates. The feeders on the porches of the Villa and Cottage are always alive with activity, bringing beauty and song to A House of Open Arms.
