Perfect Vacation Home

Spent a glorious 10 days in this lovely home on the hill overlooking Chocolate Hole. Tammy was a stand-out manager - responding immediately to any question we had or problem that arose (ex. when we lost the house key). She went out of her way to ease us into our first day after our exhaustive travels from Washington state by arranging 'greeters' to lead us to the home and introduce us to the house. The home was splendid in it's location with every window showcasing the view. The pool, though small - was quite deep - so allowed for easy swimming and cooling off. Beds and linens comfortable. Plenty of towels - including beach towels were at hand. A car was essential to get to Cruz Bay and the beaches but thankfully we had a confident driver in our group (the roads were crazy steep with lots of sharp turns). We would definitely return to this gem of a house !

AHHHHHMAZING!!!

Tammy was super easy to communicate with during the planning process of our trip. The view of Chocolate Hole was stunning. Beautiful nights spent on the deck looking at stars and listening to the island sounds. One of the cleanest villas I’ve stayed in on St. John. Great plunge pool for cooling off after a day at the beach. The outdoor shower was great added bonus. We will definitely stay again!!

Incredible Views

Tammy is an unbelievably responsive and thoughtful host. The patio and views are phenomenal. The loft area is exposed to the family room below - good to know if staying here with kids! The location is good because it’s a very short drive to almost everything on this side of the island, Cruz Bay included. Rent a car because not walkable! The only complaint we have is that the family room furniture isn’t very comfortable - would be great to have an actual couch to relax on after a busy day! Otherwise we had a fantastic stay!

Fantastic St. John Villa

My family had a fantastic trip to St. John which was made even better by the luxury Villa. The property owner Tammy was wonderful with communicating all of the details that I requested. The Villa was spacious and clean with a beautiful outdoor pool. The view of Chocolate Hole was wonderful. The linens and towels in the house were fresh and clean and the owner even provided beach chairs and pool towels. The washer and dryer and all appliances were in perfect order. The ride into town was about 7 minutes. This was the nicest property we have stayed in our many trips to St. John. We will certainly rebook this property again. We had a brief power outage which is not uncommon and St. John and the property owner dispatched somebody immediately to start the generator. FIVE stars!!!

Great house/Great location

We loved the house with its great views and relaxing pool. The house was well equipped with everything we needed including beach chairs and towels. The property had a full house generator which was wonderful since there were frequent power outages. Tammy, the property manager, was very helpful and quick to respond to all our questions.

Great stay at Stillwaters Villa

Wonderful vacation house!

We had the best week here on St John. House was perfect for my family of 4 - teen girls each had their own rooms and shared a bathroom. House was clean and well stocked. Pool is a little small but we mostly went to the beaches. The driveway is SO steep and we ended up backing the Jeep in so could pull out easily. Location is just okay but wasn’t an issue for us as we explored the various beaches. I guess the house sleeps up to 7 but seating in the living room was only for about 4 people. Again not a problem for us but could be if you had a larger group. Only 3 coffee mugs too. Overall this house was amazing and we loved our time on the island! Our greeter was lovely too (Jarline) and communication with the house manager (Tammy) was excellent.

Superb property!

Our group of five stayed at Still Waters for nine days. Overall, can’t say enough about the place. Great location, great view, nicely kept, and very comfortable. To be honest, we spent most of our time out in the deck enjoying the pool and the wonderful sun (and the occasional iguana lol). Tammy, our contact during our stay, was truly amazing, and responded to any concerns we had immediately. We only had a couple minor issues during our week+ stay and they were resolve quickly with no disruption to our activities. I’ve stayed at several other villas on St John and Still Waters has been overall the best.

Wonderful Island vacation

The location is beautiful with panoramic views of the water and the home is very accommodating with everything you would need to have a very relaxing time. It is both very private with a great pool just a step from the door and also very well located to access all that St. John has to offer.

Very nice stay

We loved the house, it was clean and very close to shopping and all. A few things that could use improvement are water pressure is very low, the master bath doesnt have a door (????) and there are no steps outside where you come out to the patio which proved to be quite dangerous. Otherwise, we had a great time.

Nice Beach Week

The Stillwater villa was very nice comfortable place for my self and family. It was convenient to Cruz Bay area store and restaurants. Also a short drive to beaches and area attractions. We enjoyed the abundant sea-life with multiple snorkeling adventures. Also we enjoyed the views from the deck and pool on evenings.

Wonderful stay!

We’ve been going to St John for about 20 years now and try to stay in different villas each time! This was the first place we stayed that we would stay in again! It was perfect for our family (2 adults, 3 kids). The kids loved the upstairs bedroom. Beds were very comfortable. We loved the open concept family room and loved being able to keep an eye on the kids in the pool if we were inside. The awning provided great shade and we loved having our morning coffee overlooking the water. Would absolutely recommend this property! Check in was a breeze and the owner very responsive to questions. I think we will be back!!!

Spectacular Villa with a Gorgeous View

Stillwater Villa did not disappoint! My family and I feel in love the moment we opened the door and walked in. It was absolutely gorgeous walking through the villa. It was tastefully decorated with beautiful wood furniture and was very clean. The stunning view of the ocean and Chocolate Hole can be seen from every room. The pool is small but very refreshing after a long day at the beach. My family and I, a total of 5 were very comfortable in the villa and pool. The location is perfect from Cruz Bay restaurants, shopping, and beach’s. I will definitely rent again! Awesome , awesome place! The property manager Bob, was amazing, anything we needed he was there. We arrived late in the evening so I hired a service to pick up my grocery order and stock the fridge for us the day before. Bob had no problem letting them in to get the job done.

Great home for families!

My family of five (2 adults and 3 kids ages 5-10yrs) stayed at StillWaters and we had a great week! What a view!! The checkin process was just as expected as was the home. Spacious and clean home for our group. The kids loved the pool and it was clean. A well stocked kitchen and outdoor grill. (The kitchen could use some more dinner plates and new potholders, and the coffee pot could be due for replacing or a good cleaning but it worked fine for us and otherwise it fit our needs very well.) We cooked and grilled several meals during our stay. The bedrooms accommodated our family well and were comfy enough. The kids loved sleeping and hanging out in the second floor loft. (Note: this home’s layout could be tricky for families with toddlers.) I loved the updated decor and linens in the home. Plenty of bath and beach towels. We didn’t have toilet paper or hand soap upon arrival but Bob dropped some off to us the next day. Speaking of Bob, he lives right down the hill, is very nice and was responsive when I had a minor issue with the dryer and needed to reset the Wi-Fi. He was able to help me out all over text to fix the issues quickly. Overall, we had a great stay and we would stay here again!
