Luciah truly got our first trip to St. John off to an amazing start. She went out of her way to share thoughtful tips and recommendations, and she’s such a lovely soul — a perfect representation of the island’s welcoming vibes. The villa is in a fantastic location, within easy walking distance to the main town center, with beautiful views all around. The bed was very comfortable and the property was clean and well maintained. We also appreciated having snorkeling gear and beach chairs available to use. As a bonus, we loved seeing the cats lounging outside the doorstep!

Amazing Villa , Great Location

The Villa was perfect. Very clean, well equipped kitchen, high ceilings, very comfortable beds, and an amazing pool with an ocean view. The Villa was also within easy walking distance to downtown Cruz Bay for coffee and for dinners each evening. Perfect location, and Luciah, the Host, was the best. Great vacation.

Gorgeous spacious house on the hill

Luciah the property manager is wonderful. The house was gorgeous and spacious. The location was great - close to town with a nice sized hill to climb each way. The hills helped us with PT after knee surgeries ha ha. I wish the windows could be opened at night for this time of year, but other than that it was perfect.

St John’s loft w/pool

Booked our stay a few days before our arrival. The Host was very informative and our greeter Linda was very friendly upon arrival. Walkability was awesome! Rental was furnished with everything you’d need for a nice week. Pool was a definite plus!

Amazing stay!

This property is a hidden gem! Check in was a breeze with the property manager meeting us at the car ferry. The place is spacious and we loved the colonial caribbean feel! Easy walk to town but private feel on a quiet street and felt like we had the pool to ourselves. The only issue is that our mother in law has limited mobility so had a challenge with all the stairs and hills but we made it work! Would come here to stay again for sure!

It was amazing!! Very walkable to town for 2 of us but the other 3 weren’t in shape enough to wake up the hill. Restaurants were all good! The villa itself was very nice we just didn’t realize we were sharing the pool with 4 other villas

Perfection

Loved the feel and the convenience of this location. It was an adult trip with only one couple so this place worked well. The 3 twin beds upstairs are open to the house being a loft. We enjoyed the loft space though but didn't require too much privacy. AC was great upstairs and down. it was my 4th time on the island and never stayed downtown Cruz Bay, it was definitely my favorite. It was definitely a place I would book again.

Short walk to everything

We loved this home and the area. It was a short walk to town which has restaurants, shops and taxis to beaches. We were gonna rent a car but taxis took us to great beaches: Trunk Bay, Cinnamon and Openheimer, to name a few. The house was very clean, quite peaceful. It offered beach chairs, floats, snorkeling gear. It was well stocked. The front porch was my favorite. The pool was clean and refreshing. I would definitely recommend this property and be back again.

Hostess with the Mostess

Our experience at Cielo Mar started with the fabulous contact, Luciah, on St.John who made us feel so at home. She even had drinks and snacks at the house upon our arrival! She was easy to communicate with and so attentive in responding to any questions we had during our whole stay. The property itself was exactly as pictured and did not disappoint. It is a beautiful property in a quiet neighborhood and so close to the center of town it made not having a car no problem. The property was outfitted with all of the amenities to sleep well, cook dinner, hang on the deck, sit by the pool or go to the beach! We would stay again and you should give it a try!!

Charming!

We visited this beautiful property for our daughters senior year spring break and it was Amazing!!! The property is fabulous, super clean, a great balcony for morning coffee or evening cocktails, and so magical when we found a few treats in the fridge including fresh flowers…what a great surprise! Perfect for a group of four with an incredible pool and walkable to Cruz Bay. Wish we’d found the white stairs past the pool sooner, great shortcut (when the gate is unlocked) for an easy downhill walk to Cruz Bay. To quote our daughters 10 out of 10, the Moms agree!!! We both hope to visit again one day and enjoy this charming home with our families! Thank you for such a special spring break!

Best villa

This villa was perfect if you are looking to stay in Cruz Bay. We were able to walk around and restaurants were also within walking distance. For those who don’t mind a short hike both Solomon and Honeymoon beaches can be reached by a hiking trail and takes about 30 minutes. The villa has everything you need for a comfortable stay after exploring the island. We used the taxis for the first 3 days and then rented a jeep for the last 4 days so we could check out the whole island and also drive to the other beaches nearby. It also allowed us to purchase water and food at the starfish market but be prepared for much higher prices than you may be used to. It was still better because we could cook breakfast and pack lunches and snacks for the day.

Beautiful place but...

Of course there are mosquitoes on Caribbean islands. The question is whether the property owner has done enough to control them. The answer for this property is no. We did all we could, such as by keeping windows and doors closed, running the 2 supplied bug zappers, applying bug spray to ourselves and the interior, yet we were still besieged day and night by mosquitoes. We literally had to stay on the go, away from what was otherwise a beautiful cottage, because of this issue. The mosquitoes appear to breed in the a/c vents but there is no way to isolate in any rooms since the doors have louvers.. Even if this is a seasonal problem, it should be addressed, not ignored. At a minimum, the owner could provide mosquito nets for sleeping. Owner needs to figure out a solution to this problem.

Great location/ limited privacy

We were greeted so graciously at the fer ry and walked to our Jeep rental location. We then waited until check in time, then waited an hour more for housekeeping to finish and leave. We were left with beautiful fresh flowers, a few beverages, some fruit, cheese and crackers, which was unexpected and appreciated. Thouse is in a great location, central to town, yet tucked into a neighborhood. The location was perfect minus privacy. The light from all the windows is great in the light of day, but many had no shades nor curtains to draw at night. Windows gave high visibility to kitchen/dr/lr and bathroom. Only Master br was private. There were many, many great points and one huge drawback for us. The master states there is a queen bed, but it was actually a king that was unsleepable. First night was awful. It is hard, like a box spring and has distinct high and low dips. Second night, we slept across the bed, each tucked into one of the dips, hoping to avoid the them cutting into us as they did the night before. It wasn’t much better. Third night, we slept in indivual single beds upstairs. They were soft, but not stable, they dip and move when you turn. Probably much better for children. I would stay here again and again if there was a better bed. I was exhausted by the end of our 5 night stay- the bed is the main reason this location does not get a 5 star review.

Great location!

We spent a week here and definitely took advantage of the close location to downtown. Although it is a close walk, it is very hilly and a difficult terrain. We really enjoyed the property, the house was beautiful! The only suggestion we would have would be to have beach chairs and a cooler available. Other than that, we had a perfect stay and would definitely rent here again!

Be prepared to be eaten alive!

Upon entering the villa for the very first time, the villa was full of mosquitoes. The host told us “just be sure to keep the doors shut”. After a terrible night and day of being eaten alive we bought bug spray, citronella candles, anything we could find. We also called the host back stating the mosquitoes were terrible and her recommendation was - “wear bug spray”. It was awful! We all had to sleep under the covers. It appeared as though there were mosquitoes coming out of the drains! There was even a bug zapper in the back laundry room so they are clearly aware of the problem. By the end of the week my daughter and husband looked like they had the measles - they were covered in so many mosquito bites! I would not stay here or recommend it to anyone ! Especially with dengue fever prevalent in St. John mosquitoes!!

save money on jeep rental walking distance

there is not much room to park a 4 door jeep but its only a 5 min walk to restaurants and taxis to beaches which is cheaper than jeep rentals. going to grocery would be a problem though, so maybe if host can take a grocery order/prestock would work around. otherwise unless you are comfortable parking in really tight spaces I would recommend a 2 door jeep size vehicle

The best villa in Cruz Bay!

Honestly, this is the best rental my family (2 adults, 3 boys age 13, 12 & 10) has ever stayed in--worth every penny. From the personal touches (stocking the fridge with snacks/drinks) to the fully stocked house with everything we could need, we were thrilled from the moment we walked in. The villa was perfectly located, close to everything and we especially loved being close to Frank Bay and Coconut coast studios. The property itself is just lovely, comfortable and quaint. AC worked wonderfully and the pool was perfect. Especially loved the two balconies:)
