The Best Hosts

A truly unique element of St. John Vacation Rentals is that the owners of Sea Cay and Southern Cross also own a fantastic restaurant and bar on St. John known as The Lime Inn.  Located in downtown Cruz Bay, the Lime Inn is one of St. John's, longest, continually running restaurants.  Owners Rich and Chris Meyer have made the Lime Inn a perennial favorite among locals and visitors alike.

The Lime Inn specializes in fresh local seafood such as lobster, snapper, tuna and mahi-mahi, served in a casual open air atmosphere. There is also plenty for the land lovers as well, featuring mouth-watering filet mignon stuffed with crab meat, Brie Cheese, or Blue Cheese.  Rich and Chris are always creating unique daily specials like chicken and pasta dishes. Those who can't decide can start with an item from the extensive salad and appetizer selection, then try the Reef and Cay, a New York strip topped with grilled shrimp.

St. John is brimming with excellent restaurants, activities, and nightlife, and information is readily available through our inclusive Concierge Services.

St. John FAQ's

Do I need a passport to visit the U.S. Virgin Islands?

If you are a U.S. citizen a passport is not required, but it still serves as the best identification when traveling. Otherwise, you must be prepared to show evidence of citizenship when departing the islands, such as a raised-seal birth certificate and government-issued photo ID.  If you are not a U.S. citizen, then a passport issued by your country of origin is required.  If you are not sure of your status, please contact the U.S Customs & Border Protection agency.
