  One cannot even begin to describe how memorable our stay was at this beautiful home. Not a single detail was missed when designing and building Kaleidoscope. My husband and I just turned 30 and enjoyed Kaleidoscope all to ourselves for an entire week. We love to get out on the water, lounge on the beaches, snorkel and explore the island but Kaleidoscope nearly made it impossible to want to leave. The views from this home are the most spectacular on the island. We enjoyed everything this home had to offer. Being able to hang out at the East edge of the pool and watch the sea turtles was truly an amazing experience. There has not been a single day since we returned home that we don’t dream of coming back to Kaleidoscope. We loved sitting by the pool or soaking in the hot tub at night and staring up at the beautiful starry sky. This home offers views for both sunrise and sunset and they are some of the most gorgeous that I have ever seen. If you arrive in the dark like we did, you will not be able to sleep your first night as you will be anticipating seeing this place in the daylight. You will absolutely be blown away. Look no further, Kaleidoscope promises to be a truly one of a kind experience.

  Jack, Just wanted to drop you a quick note about our stay at your home in St. John. To say that we had a great time would be a HUGE understatement! Your home is more beautiful than any picture could capture. The view is breathtaking and the layout is superb. The kids loved the pool and walking down to the beach, they even spotted sea turtles swimming down in Fish Bay! We loved every moment of our stay and we were definitely the envy of all our fellow travelers. Thank you so much for everything that you and Justin did to prepare for and provide for us before and during our stay. Many thanks again and I wish you much happiness and prosperity in the new year. When we plan our next visit to St. john we will be sure to contact you first!

  We visited in December and had a great time. The views from Kaleidoscope are tremendous. We could see both the sunrise and sunset from the patio. On a clear day we could see the island of St. Croix. Jack has thought of every convenience. We had provisioning and dinners prepared by St. John catering and they were terrific. We rented cars in Cruz Bay and Brenda was great to work with and the cars were in great condition. We visited Caneel Bay and visit Hawksnest and Trunk Bay beaches. Probably the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. We used Russ at St. John Concierge to charter the Calypso for an afternoon/sunset sail and their crew was fantastic. They took us snorkeling, hor's devours, cocktails and concluded the afternoon watching the sun set over St. Thomas. My wife got to see her first barracuda while snorkeling. That evening we finished off the day with dinner at Morgan's Mango. We finished our week by having dinner the last evening at Zo Zo's and it was fantastic. The house is very comfortable and Angie mentioned the other day she couldn't wait to go back.

• Kaleidoscope Villa - #1 on St. John

  I visited Kaleidoscope Villa ("KV") the last wknd of August with my wife and our respective parents. I have been to St. John close to a dozen times and Kaleidoscope is by far the best villa I've ever encountered. No details of this villa have been overlooked. From the high-end artwork to the superb electronic sound system, to the hillside “Grotto”, KV strikes a fine balance of artistic elegance while still feeling cozy. After a long day on the beach in the sun, going back to KV was almost as good, or even better, than being on the beach. Read on for more detail on why KV is the best villa St. John has to offer. The People - Jack and his island housekeeper, Justin, are as kind as your next door neighbors. Easily accessible and there if you need them, or need something. The Layout - 4 bedrooms with 2 separate pods connecting 2 rooms. At first glance it seems that the connecting rooms aren't private enough, but I assure you, when the doors are closed, nothing can be heard in the adjacent bedroom. The family room is perfectly situated with a view to the south, encompassing the infinity pool, Ditleff Point, AND both Klein and Fish Bays. It’s absolutely stunning, and perhaps my favorite part of the villa. The Grotto – The feeling of the above mentioned Grotto can only be experienced in person. Utilizing the hot tub during a rainstorm will make you forget what's coming down around you. The Beach Access – Like to have the beach all to yourself? Klein Bay’s private access beach is a 5 minute walk from the villa. Decent snorkeling to the south side and is simple for even the average snorkeler. On the opposite side of the Point and at the foot of KV’s side entrance is stair access to Fish Bay. Here you can make your way down the rocky access way and swim out to the turtles you’ve been watching from your master bedroom. The Details – Kaleidoscope Villa T-shirts?? Yes, please! Also available are bottles of wine for purchase. What other villa can say they have these options? None, that I know of. The Pictures – The pictures on KV’s website do some justice, but not close to what can be served. It’s just impossible to replicate the beauty of this villa though pictures; true enlightenment best be acknowledged in person. We unanimously recommend KV for your next STJ trip.

  My family and I had the pleasure of staying at Kaleidoscope Villa in September. When booking the Villa we were very impressed by the description and photos, so you can imagine our surprise when we arrived and realized it was even better in person! The staff were there waiting when we arrived in St. John to take us to the property and even waited at the port with us so we could grab a bite to eat. Upon arrival to the Villa we had a very thorough orientation to all the ammenities offered in and around the house. The entire place was immaculate and had all the comforts of home. We stayed busy each day exploring the beautiful island of St. John, in addition to the surrounding islands. I highly recommend a boat tour of the BVI's with a trip to Virgin Gorda and the Baths, Willy T's and the caves-best day ever. The house was so amazing we did not want to leave in the evenings (and we typically enjoy exploring local nightlife). We have had the privilege to travel to most islands in the Caribbean and have stayed and some phenomenal properties, but Kaleidoscope Villa is by far the best. You will NOT be disappointed and I cannot wait to go back!

  My first impression was that the pictures didn't fully capture the beauty of the villa. The details of the house, including the layout for privacy and fantastic views from every angle shows that a lot of thought and love was put in to it. I particularly loved the bathroom and being able to see the ocean while showering. The house itself was clean and the design and layout made you feel like you were in paradise. The landscape was well kept and beautiful. There was so much attention to details, that I was constantly in awe of the beauty of the villa. St. John is now one of my favorite islands. The villa also has a lot to do with it. I would highly recommed the villa, you would be happy with every penny you spend. IT IS BREATH TAKING!

  This was our second stay at Kaleidoscope Villa. The views, the property, and all the little things that Jack has thought to include make this a unique and special place. We hope to return again and highly recommend this villa to everyone!

  What we loved most was having all the doors open and feeling like the Caribbean beauty -- the breeze, the birds, the landscape and of course the sea -- was gently washing over us during our entire stay at Kaleidoscope. Every aspect of the property lends itself to comfort and complete immersion in the unique vantage point atop Ditleff Point. The owner and the caretaker were delightful and solicitous every step of the way.

  Having been to St John a dozen times, we can tell you that this by far was the best location and by far the best Villa ever. We have always loved Ditleff Point for the views and the snorkeling and hikes and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to rent such a beautiful home. This villa is ideal for 4 couples. Each having their own master suite with great views and outside showers along with tons of room to read, relax and swim, made it a wonderful trip. The villa is equipped with everything you need for your stay to include a gourmet kitchen that had everything we needed to prepare some awesome meals while taking in the surroundings. The pool to the grotto with the hot tub to the breezes made for a very relaxing time. We took full advantage of the sound system throughout and enjoyed the quiet of this part of the island. There is not a thing we would change. Everyday we would experience sea turtles and a variety of birds and coral and fish in Rendevous Bay which is just a short walk. It is a great location to town or to drive over to Coral Bay as well. If you are thinking about this villa for some time away, please do yourself a favor and make it happen. You will be so pleased that you did.
