We arrived on Valentine's Day only to be told that there were no car rentals available even though we had a reservation weeks in advance. Cindie was very nice enough to meet my husband and I at the airport and bring us to the most beautiful home. Cindie is a great host, giving us all the important guidelines for the most comfortable stay. The "BIBLE" was easy to read and follow which helped with shortcut routes, places to go etc..Cindie & John's dog Buddy is hard not to love, he's just too sweet. Feeding the hummingbirds and sugarbirds in the morning was also cool, since we were not used to that in the states. The apartment....GORGEOUS!! I mean it is the most cozy place I have ever been. The view of the Magen's Bay is amazing. To Cindie and John, we really enjoyed our vacation with you and your family. See you guys soon. P.S. We got to New York safely last night. Thanks for everything again.
Owner response: Afiya & Paul, We really enjoyed having you here. We love it when people really enjoy the privacy we have up here on St. Peter Mountain. Buddy, our collie, will be waiting for your return so he can come and visit you. See you again soon Cindie

This artfully decorated apartment is self contained with all the features you could wish for. There is everything you need, including binoculars, snorkeling gear, and beach towels. You will go to bed listening to a symphony of sounds of the rainforest. Plus, Cindi and Jon are the perfect hosts! Cindi met us at the airport and was readily available throughout our stay. This was our perfect home away from home. You would not be disappointed with this private hideaway as your home base for your St. Thomas vacation.

Words cannot describe how wonderful it was to stay at Two Moons Over Magen's Bay. It was the most relaxing vacation my husband & I ever had. The view simply breathtaking. The apartment a dream and Cindy & Jon charming, warm and so helpful. We fell in love with everything about this wonderful haven. I would recommend this beautiful place to anyone but I would really like to keep it a secret for ourselves but that would simply be selfish. We explored more of the island than we ever had before and found "Oceana" the most romantic restaurant with amazing cuisine. We can't wait to go back again and are already planning for next year. Thank you so much Cindie & Jon for sharing your perfect dream!

This rental was perfect. We were able to experience what it would be like living on the island and enjoyed the sugar birds and hummingbirds. The view is amazing and I loved driving down the hill to the beaches - the views were amazing. John and Cindie are awesome people with alot of knowledge about the island. I feel like I have made two new friends.

Cindie & Jon, Thank you so much for letting us stay in the apartment and all your island knowledge. Betsy's has the best burgers and 13 was amazing. Our favorite beach was on St John- Trunk Bay. However the best snorkeling was at Coki. we drove around the entire island and it is beautiful. We liked feeding the sugar birds and watching the Hummingbirds. We will miss the kitty's, they love their milk feedings in the morning and afternoon. Loved meeting the dogs and on our next trip we will have to borrow one to stay with us. Lori and Allen

Cindie, I'm so glad that I decided to stay off the beaten path this time in St Thomas and found your little gem in the mountain. Your hospitality made all the difference and has been greatly appreciated. thank you for everything and I look forward to seeing you again soon. Of course should your travels up to the cape allow you to stop over in Boston, I hope you know you have a friend there. Best, Natalie

Dear Cindie, Thank you so much for your hospitality! Our stay here was wonderful. We loved feeding and watching the Hummingbirds and it was really nice to meet Tisha. thank you for the homemade bread and the breakfast supplies. We had delicious eggs every morning. thanks you for recommending Oceania, we went there last night and it was delicious and romantic, just as you described. Your place is just beautiful and had everything we needed. We had a great time at the beaches and it was so nice to have the cooler and towels. Oh and of course " the bible" ( book in apt. that has all info. on STT and STJ, maps and all) was so helpful. Thanks again for making our vacation so special. Oleysa and Gabriel

Dear Cindie & Jon, What a blast!!! many thanks for letting us share your fantastic home for a week. The apartment was perfect and had everything we needed to enjoy the week- including a nearly complete Clint Eastwood collection. Bry and I loved having coffee and cereal on the deck in the mornings and awaiting the arrival of Buster and Tigger. ( Both kindly offered to finish our milk) We also like the Hummingbirds ad Bry would always fill the feeders first thing in the morning so that we would have company at breakfast. The apartment was always somewhere we looked forward to coming back at the end of the day... A few of our highlights for those who have yet to come: driving around and exploring the islands, scenery and beaches. Fat Turtle on Friday nights ( fun bar by the water) Udder Delights - Great milkshakes after a day at Magens Bay Hook Line and Sinker- Great food and atmosphere ( casual) St John- Taking the lindpoint trail to beautiful Honeymoon beach. Snorkeling at Wayermelon Cay- best rip off the island. Thanks guys and Bry and I will remember this trip for a long time. Andrew & Bryony

Cindie & Jon, Thank you so much for having us this week-end. It was exactly what we were looking for after a very hectic work schedule and a grueling 7-day sailing course in the USVI and BVI. I don't think we realized how tired we were until we got to this wonderful tranquil spot! We loved the Hummingbirds, Sugarbirds and of course the visits from Buster and Tigger. You are right buster is a love sponge!! we enjoyed a few cuddles on the front deck- my Beagle won't know what to make of it when I get home. Thank you again for the hospitality- we hope to be back in the near future. All the Best, Karina and Gary Your 1st Canadians

We had the distinct honor of renting Jon & Cindie's apartment for one week in May, 2008. This is by far the best vacation we have ever had. The apartment was spotless clean, colorful and inviting. The kitchen would make any gourmet chef happy. The deck is surrounded by lush greenery, and overlooks beautiful Meagans Bay. The view is simply breathtaking. This is paradise! Jon and Cindie have created the perfect getaway in the perfect place. We are so thrilled to have made their acquaintance. They are so gracious and helpful. They go out of their way to help you and ensure that your time there is enjoyable. They have an encyclopedic knowledge of the Virgin Islands and have no hesitation in spending time sharing their information with you. They are simply the best! We will be back - that is a guarantee! We have a lot of exploring to do yet in the VI, and Twomoons Over Magens Bay is where we want to stay!

We stayed at Two Moons from February 28, 2007, to March 6, 2007, and it truly was a magical vacation. The property is incredible--perfect for a couple looking to share a romantic vacation in the privacy of their own villa. We spent every morning eating breakfast (thanks Cindie!) and relaxing on the deck overlooking Magen's Bay and also enjoyed the deck on several evenings as we grilled steaks and burgers and opened bottles of wine. Suffice it to say that Two Moons is ideal for people who consider themselves "travellers" rather than "tourists." If an all-inclusive resort is what you're seeking, this isn't the place for you. If, however, you enjoy the thrill of living like a local (which means navigating hilly, winding roads while driving on the left side of the street)and experiencing the beauty of the Virgin Islands at your own pace, look no further. Cindie and Jon could not be more accommodating and are more than happy to advise you on everything from where to go for happy hour and dinner to what islands to head to for a day trip. We can't wait to visit their beautiful home again!

Just stayed with Jon and Cindi again and had a fantastic time. The apartment is better than ever, and they deserve to have great success with rentals. Don't delay! Book with them before everybody in the world realizes what a wonderful find this place is!

We had a wonderful vacation and felt right at home here. Cindie has done an outstanding job of anticipating a guests every need...from a kitchen loaded with gourmet cooking utensils to the lunch cooler and beach chairs for a relaxing day at the beach. Private and comfortable accommodations just minutes to downtown or Magen's Bay, a real nice location. We enjoyed every aspect of our stay...we felt safe, the place was spotless and offered a beautiful view. Jon and Cindie simply go out of their way to welcome you and ensure you are well cared for. Enjoy! We'll be back again soon.
Owner response:Thank you Marilyn and Mike, We look forward to your next visit. We really enjoyed your company. See you soon Cindie and Jon

This is the BEST choice for anyone who wants to be on their own to explore all that the USVI has to offer but isn't interested in being "stuck" at a resort. You will love this beautiful, quiet, clean-as-a-whistle apartment with a perfect view of Magens Bay. If you are like me and want to be on your own, without ties to any hotel or resort...to be a true island resident for the duration of your stay...rent a car and stay at Cindie and Jon's! You can explore the island at your leisure, picking and choosing beaches depending on your whim (Magens for long beach walks and a nice snack bar, Hull Bay for peace and quiet, etc.), come and go without high taxi fares to pay, be flexible to go to St. John one day and shopping downtown the next. You can go to the beach, come home to shower, and then go to yet another beach for a sunset swim or walk. The custom kitchen is wonderful, and you can save a bundle by fixing your own breakfast to eat on your own deck or grilling some fresh local fish that you've picked up in Frenchtown or at one of the local fish stands...no tips and no rip-off prices to pay! I don't know why Cindie and Jon are renting this apartment out so reasonably, but I'm going to be there again for 2 weeks in February to take advantage of them! If you are wise enough to take my advice and book your own week or two, be sure to thank me later! You'll LOVE this place!
