We had a wonderful time with 4 adults and 2 kids. The house was the perfect size for our group and was exactly as pictured. The island was struggling with power issues all week but we had no trouble at the house with some help from the Tesla backup and just keeping things turned off when we were at the beach during the day. The property manager did a great job checking in on us during our stay and we felt well taken care of. We absolutely will plan to be back! The house was beautiful and easy to access from town.

Fantastic place, one of the best that we’ve ever stayed at. Beautiful view of water and the pool was big and secluded. The owners were very attentive and left a great welcome basket for us when we arrived. Restaurants, groceries, and the car ferry port in Cruz Bay were all very close-by (5-10 minute drives). Would definitely stay there again

This was such an amazing property with excellent attention by the property managers. We spent 6 days here in April 2026 with our daughter and grandkids. The pool and sleeping accommodations were perfect! The kitchen was so nice. The only upgrade I would suggest is for new skillets and bakeware. The location is excellent for driving to a different beach every day. We actually ran out of water one evening, but the response time from the property management company was super fast. The tank was refilled in a couple of hours! Excellent customer care! We love St John and were thrilled to share the island experience with our family. Thank you! I highly recommend this home!

We had an incredible stay and would absolutely return. The property was exactly what we were looking for—comfortable, clean, and in a fantastic location that made it easy to explore the island while still feeling like a peaceful retreat.The views were beautiful, and we especially appreciated having a place where we could relax after long days of snorkeling and exploring. The home was well-equipped with everything our family needed, and the check-in process was seamless. Communication with the host was excellent throughout our stay.We spent our days enjoying Trunk Bay, Maho Bay, Cinnamon Bay, Coral Bay, and driving all over the island. Having a comfortable place to come back to each evening made the trip even better. The location struck a great balance between convenience and privacy, and we never had any issues getting around.One thing we especially appreciated was how well the property matched the listing. There were no unpleasant surprises—everything was accurately represented, clean, and well maintained.St. John is one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever visited, and this home played a big part in making the trip memorable. We left already talking about when we can come back.We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable place to experience everything St. John has to offer.Our boys are already asking when we can come back, which is probably the best review we could give.
