Paradise View

This was a perfect place to celebrate our 50th anniversary with our family. Each couple had their separate space and so did the kids. Perfect for all of us cooking together, eating together and just relaxing. All the furniture is comfortable and plentiful. The view is spectacular!

Perfect place in paradise!

We loved everything about this home. We vacationed with 2 families. This home is in a fantastic location with a short drive to the downtown in Cruz Bay and 2 grocery stores. It's also a short drive to the beaches. We enjoyed taking hikes around the neighborhood, taking in the glorious views, and spending time grilling and enjoying the pool. We also loved spending each morning and evening in the 4 comfortable rocking chairs on the front deck drinking our coffee or sipping tropical drinks. The home is well thought out and well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. There are several beach chairs, coolers, beach towels, well stocked kitchen, laundry, and wonderful shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion. The home is very clean and well maintained. The bedrooms are spacious, full of light, and have very comfortable beds. There are 3 separate quarters in this home with the master bedroom upstairs in the main house, 2 bedrooms in another structure ( one with a full kitchen and bath), and a third bedroom in a third structure. The set up was perfect for 2 families vacationing together. We all had a lot of privacy, and could congregate together in the main part of the home during the day and for family meals. Everything about this home was perfect. The host communicated well and provided some treats for us upon arrival which was much appreciated after a long trip. Nidia met us at the ferry and brought us to the home and helped get us acquainted. She was so lovely! We would love to rent this home again! Thanks for a memorable and fantastic family vacation.
