Very satisfied.

Our 2 family group of 8 had a great stay here. Beautiful pool area and views, very private, nicely laid out interior was better than it appeared in the photos. Had an issue with water pressure that was quickly addressed- very responsive and efficient communication. Easy 10min drive to cruz bay. The road leading up to the property is steep but one quickly gets used to it. Having a jeep/4wd recommended. Would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous.

Le Lapin is gorgeous-beautiful house, stunning views, great pool, well appointed kitchen. 4 en suite bedrooms each with an east-facing deck. The drive up the hill is not for the faint of heart! We had other friends in another house nearby & visited many snorkeling spots. We were here during Covid, so the privacy was great. If you want to be close to or be able to walk to town, this is not the house for you. If that’s not important, I highly recommend.

Great family vacation home

Our last minute booking of Le Lapin was made easy by the property management company. So responsive and helpful. This villa is perfect for families with young children because of the interior access to the bedrooms. Great layout for our family of five (we could have easily brought the grandparents too - plenty of space). Gorgeous views from wrap around porch. We would definitely stay here again.

MOST RELAXING VACATION

If you are looking for a villa with spectacular views (sunsets) large pool/deck area where you and your traveling friends can sit and relax all day and into the evening without leaving the villa, Le Lapin is perfect for you. Spacious and clean, we grilled every night and sat on the deck enjoying the sunsets, peace and tranquility. We will book our next trip back to Le Lapin soon.

Love this villa!

Love the layout and location of this well-maintained villa. It is the perfect choice for families or, as was our case, four good friends getting away from work and a Northern New England winter. The views from this hilltop villa are amazing! We enjoyed our morning coffee by the pool and the comfort of the evening breezes. Just booked our "second annual" getaway at Le Lapin....can't wait!!

Perfect!

I lived in the Virgin Islands in my younger days and have returned on several occasions, but never have I found more perfect accommodations. The house is lovely, it's well maintained and has a great layout, but beyond that, it is perfectly situated. It sits atop a hill between two bays, you can look out off the patio area towards St. Thomas (stunning in the evening), or see all of Rendezvous bay down the backside of the island from the rear deck. I was so pleasantly surprised when we first pulled up, the house looks better in person than pictures...well appointed, fresh linens, short trip to town....I cant say enough. I will be back.

Astounding Views! Quiet!

My wife and I have been traveling to St John for over 10 years and Le Lapin II blew us right out of the water! We have stayed at the Westin, B&Bs, condos and started staying in villas once the children were older. We have 2 almost teenagers who thoroughly enjoyed the pool (especially the hammock). My wife and I spent most mornings sipping on coffee just watching the views. The kitchen was equipped with pots and pans, silverware and dishes and the bedrooms provided linens. There are glimpses of sunrises and a nice sunset which was the first time we have stayed at a villa that offered both. Though all bedrooms had a nice view, my wife and I stayed in one of the bedrooms upstairs and deemed it the best bedroom view of the house. The management company provided us with beach towels and chairs which came in handy! My family rarely returns to the same house twice, and we have already started our planning to stay at Le Lapin II next year!
