Excellent Eureka

Great property and perfect for a couple or two couples or a small family! Perfectly clean and well maintained. Host was very personable and deeply knowledgeable about the island and had great dining recommendations for us. Super location for venturing out to enjoy the island. Fantastic views from all areas of the villa with privacy .

St.John - Eureka House

A wonderful house with amazing views. Fantastic ocean breezes through the living area and AC in the bedrooms was also a nice option. There's plenty of room in the well appointed house. It was a nice bonus that the house came with all of the beach chairs, umbrellas, or tent needed for our trips to the beach. The property manager was very friendly and easy to work with.

Eureka Villa is our home away from home!!

This was our first stay, but Eureka Villa is truly our home away from home. We prepared many meals at home and the kitchen had ALL that we needed and more. The food left for us from Sam and Jacks was so delicious and left us wanting more!! We ordered lunch from them daily! With the plethora of towels, chairs, snorkels, fins and sunshades we were well equipped for the many beach days we had! Jackie and the other staff were easy to get in touch with and responded quickly. We will surely be back for many more stays at the Eureka Villa! Hope you enjoy the house as much as we have! ❤️ The Johnsons

Amazing view

Absolutely loved our stay at Eureka Villa. We spent many hours sitting on the lovely shaded deck with views of the ocean. There were lots of bananaquits visiting as well as hummingbirds and iguanas in the surrounding trees. The house itself was clean, airy, and comfortable. We really appreciated all the beach towels and chairs (there were umbrellas that we never needed because the beaches we went to had nice trees for shade). We had some issues with the screen doors coming off the track, but we were told this would be repaired so hopefully should not be an issue in the future. Overall would definitely recommend this place!

Avoided Beryl - In Paradise - Eureka Villa

WOW!!!!!!! From the curb appeal to the amenities, from the solitude and peacefulness to the ease of access, Eureka Villa exceeded all our expectations... AND THE VIEW!!! Oh My!!!. Fully stocked kitchen including spices, gas cooktop, Ice-Cold AC's in the Bedrooms, Wifi, Alexa, Netflix available, Music Available, Flippers-Goggles-Snorkels, Backup generator (but only one 20-minute power outage), travertine flooring inside and out, Luxury "Ritz Quality" Bedding and so much more. This home had more space and privacy, and was far better quality than we needed and there were no disappointments with our family. We come from a Very nice area (Southlake TX), and as a Real Estate Broker we are excessively spoiled and see the highest-end properties available. The upgrades here are outstanding. While we only had three nights to stay, they were wonderful and we plan on staying longer next time. The winding steep roads were a blast to drive also. Thank you for allowing us to create such wonderful memories in Eureka Villa! This is only a testimony to our experience, and we hope your experience is the same. Blessings to All, The Combe Family, Southlake TX

Modern decor and spectacular view

We loved this house. It has recently been remodeled and is just perfect - a modern minimalist décor with elements of wood, stone, and refreshing white. Free of the typical island theme art and knickknacks, the interior is very soothing and allows guests to focus on the breathtaking view through the wall of glass that extends from one side of the house to the other. Though there are other houses nearby, you can neither see nor hear any evidence of them from the deck that extends the full length of the house as you sit and listen to the wide variety of birds and enjoy the island breezes. The house was very clean with new kitchenware, something you don't usually find in a rental. I especially appreciated the Brita pitcher in the refrigerator, along with the house water filtration, as we were able to completely avoid the purchase of bottled water. I highly recommend this property and hope we will be able to return.

Great views in paradise

The property was like new. It had the perfect floor plan for multiple couples with two master bedrooms and baths, and an extra bed room, bath and sitting area dawn stairs that we did not need, but would be great for kids or a third couple. The home was well equipped and featured a water treatment system to ensure water was safe for drinking. Sun rises and sets were stunning looking over Chocolate Hole.

A great place to stay in Paradise

My wife and I had been to St Thomas several years ago as a couple. At the time we had visited St John and loved the beaches and the relaxed feel of the island. When we left, we promised each other we would come back and bring our college age children. We had always enjoyed family vacations where we stayed in a house or villa as a family. We found Eureka on the web and it met our expectation and exceeded them! The house is situated on a hill overlooking Chocolate Hole and Hart Bay. The view is fantastic! There's a porch across the entire back side of the house is great for sitting and looking out at the sea. I never tired of the view. The house was plenty larger for the four of us. There are two large bedrooms, one on either side of a large Great Room with attached kitchen, Each bedroom had it's own bathroom with shower. There was plenty of space in the Great Room for use all to relax there. The house comes with wireless and cable tv so we could all stay connected and informed. The kitchen was small, but complete. We just ate breakfast and snacks in the house. The restaurants on the island were great so we ended up eating out every night. The nightlife Cruz Bay kept us out late a few nights! A couple things you need to consider when you stay a Eureka. The road to Eureka is steep at times. Nothing difficult to drive, but your really know you are climbing the hill when you drive up the road to the house. When you turn off the road, there as a substantial cement culvert you need to transverse to get the vehicle down to the house. We were told to rent a car with high clearance and we did. We rented an Explorer and it had no trouble getting over the culvert, but can image a small car getting stuck trying to go over it. There is a steep driveway to the house. The first time we went down it I was questioning my ability to do this. After driving it a couple times, it was no trouble. This is a house that is a bit of work to get to, but it is well worth the experience! If you get the appropriate vehicle, Eureka is a really great place to stay. The experience of spending a week together was great for our family. The house was clean and everything we needed was there to just move in. All we needed to bring was food and drinks. We had a great time. It's a great place. St John is a wonderful place to vacation. The beaches are incredible. Cruz Bay is a short drive away. I'd say there again!

Paradise

My family recently returned from a week in this lovely home perched high above Chocolate Hole and Rendezvous Bay in St. John and it truly was paradise. The home is lovely -- very airy and wood everywhere, which made it seem almost like you were in Bali. In the evenings the sunsets are directly in front of you and are spectacular, and then as the sun goes down (& until almost mid-day the next day, when the sun makes it over the higher points surrounding the back of the house) the elevation brings in a very pleasant cool breeze. The home is divided into upper and lower sections, each having its own kitchen (although the lower section kitchen is small) and this is also a great way to divide space (or get rid of kids!). The location is close to Cruz Bay, so getting into town for restaurants, supplies etc is easy -- but the location also offers a quick escape to the beaches we prefer on the Eastern (opposite) end of St. John. We have been coming to St John for 25 years and this was our favorite house, no doubt about it. It is Paradise in Paradise.

Caribbean Savvy

My wife and I just returned from our ? th trip to St. John, began in 1971. Over the years we have stayed at the Eureka property approximately 5 times, most times we book too late. We love the property because of the proximity to town, if you forget something it is not the end of the world AND the location is great for catching a dinner in town without the distance. The property provides an excellent view of Rendezvous Bay, Chocolate Hole with St. Croix in the distance. The house was very clean and well maintained. Louvered windows can be opened to provide cooling breezes and large ceiling fans kept the house cool. The price was very reasonable for a property on St. John. We have traveled the Caribbean extensively, been to most Islands, and St. John is our favorite. Eureka is the perfect spot for all our needs.

Thank you for your review Gary. We agree that Eureka is ideally situated. The hillside location provides amazing views, cool breezes, and peaceful serenity just minutes from The Westin Resort and a wide variety of fantastic dining and shopping options in Cruz Bay. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Not to mention the SUNSETS!

Amazing stay

My wife and I visited St. John for our honeymoon and had a superb stay at Eureka. Eureka is both quiet and safe and offers breathtaking views of the entire bay. We spent the days exploring St john’s beautiful beaches and thoroughly enjoyed our time in this hillside home. The property was clean and comfortable with the amenities we were looking for (quiet, ocean view, full kitchen, internet access, location). We especially liked mornings and evenings on the deck taking in the view. We were concerned that it might be hot as we visited St John in the middle of July but we were very comfortable with the ceiling fans on and the ocean breeze flowing through the house. The property was easy to get to from Cruz Bay and gave us a great base to explore all the island has to offer including some of the best beaches we have visited, a wide array of restaurants & shopping and amazing snorkeling and hiking. We look forward to returning to St John and we will definitely return to Eureka, it’s 5 Stars at an affordable price.

Easy livin', relaxed, & felt like home!

Eureka! is wonderful easy Caribbean living… Good location 10 minutes to/from town, very nice layout (big central great room with a bedroom & bath at each end and a covered terrace along the back), wonderful sunset views over Chocolate Hole, comfortable furniture, well equipped, the villa was very clean (as in spotless), and bug free which was a delightful surprise considering the amount of rain earlier in the season. Eureka’s property manager, Nancy, was helpful, easy to work with from beginning to end, and the villa exceeded our expectations. A previous review noted construction next door which was good to know. Prior to booking, Nancy advised us of the construction and that it was at the stage of mostly interior work…tiling, hammering, and painting. Happy to report that to be true (not much constuction noise) and the bit of noise/sounds we did hear made it feel like being part of a vibrant community… comfortable normal safe neighborhood sounds. Some sawing, some hammering but nothing too early, too late, or too long, and the sounds did not bother us at all. Whoever is building/remodeling appears to live there and that helps with the neighborly feel of things…considerate workers who smiled and waved when we drove by. We have Verizon cell service which does not have good coverage in the Virgin Islands and Eureka! doesn’t have Internet or Wifi which meant we needed to hit a café or public wifi spot to check email, etc. The square in Cruz Bay has free wifi, benches, and shade so we went there. The day after we departed, received an email from Nancy kindly alerting us meds had been left in the refig. Sure enough, husband left his vitamins and Nancy mailed them back. We were very comfortable at Eureka!, felt right at home, enjoyed our stay, and working with Nancy. She knows St John well and takes great care of Eureka! We will return to Eureka! and stay longer!

An Honest Review

My wife and I just returned from our 4th trip to St. John. Our stay at the Eureka property was a bit disappointing. First the good points about this property. It did provide an excellent view of Rendezvous Bay, Chocolate Hole and on most clear days you could see St. Croix in the distance. The house was easy to reach, only 10 mins from Cruz Bay with easy access to anywhere on the island. The house was clean on the upper level, but the downstairs lower unit (which we did not use) was empty and clearly had not been attended to in some time. Wooden louvered windows could be opened to provide cooling breezes and large ceiling fans kept the house cool as there was no air conditioning (not a problem for us). Nancy (from Caribe Havens management company) was cordial and very friendly and offered her assistance for anything that we may have needed. The price was reasonable for an older property on St. John. Now the downside...No one informed us there was major construction going on right next to this property. Everyday like clockwork, the construction crew would begin around 7 - 7:30 am and end sometime around 5:00 - 5:30 pm. Heavy machinery, hammering, power tools...you get the picture. (Construction will not be completed until sometime early in 2012 according to the owner/builder). So much for sleeping in while on vacation. On three days of our stay there was heavy excavating going on, so imagine a large noisy backhoe/grader in your side yard, not too mention diesel fumes blowing through the house. The house itself was also disappointing. We knew it was an older property, but it certainly needs maintenance. The large deck was in disrepair, one end of it pulling away from it's support beam. The house was weathered and trim was falling off and rotting in places. The refrigerator was rusted on the outside, and needed to be cleaned out each day as large amounts of water would accumulate inside (poor seals) and run out the bottom onto the floor. There were a lot of little things that if attended to, would have made this property and this review more positive. In all fairness, my wife and I are generally off to the beaches, snorkeling, hiking, and doing all the things we love to do during the daytime, so not much time was spent at the house between 9am and sundown. As a couple, this rental property was a fair value for our needs and expectations. We're not sure that it would meet the needs or expectations of most couples or families though.
Response from VrboOwner on 8 Dec 2020
Dear T+N. Thank you for your feedback. We value your comments and we strive to provide an outstanding experience for all of our guests. I have already spoken to Nancy the property manager regarding your comments and concerns. I will contact you directly but I also wanted to respond to each of your four points here for the benefit of others. First, I am glad to hear that you enjoyed Eureka for its outstanding, convenient location and spectacular views of the Caribbean.We feel it's one of the best views on St John and that Eureka represents an exceptional vacation rental value 1. The downstairs unit is NOT part of the villa rental. Eureka is listed as a 2 bedroom/2 bath villa sleeping six (4 in beds) with kitchen, living room,etc all on the main level. All of the photos on the VRBO listing are of the main house and upstairs deck+patio areas.The downstairs unit will be renovated in 2012 to offer an additional bedroom with two additional twin beds,full bath and a second living area with a kitchenette. Once complete it will be added to the listing. The downstairs unit will NOT be offered as a stand-alone rental.It will only be available along with the Villa rental. We expect that the additional space will be particularly appealing to larger families. 2. I wish you had contacted Nancy about the refrigerator. Freezers tend to frost in the island climate;a simple defrosting would have resolved the issue. 3. The trim. There are some areas of trim that need to be replaced and the underside of the deck needs a pressure wash. The work is scheduled to be completed in the next 30 days and it will include repairs to the shifting support post you mentioned. 4. The construction must have been difficult. Please accept my sincere apology for the disruption. While we can't prohibit construction nearby, we have generally had very good communication with our neighbor regarding this project and I am very disappointed that we did not know about the landscaping work ahead of time. Had we known, we would have made arrangements for the work to be stopped or we would have offered to relocate you to another property. The owner has told us that the work being done is the final landscaping and installation of trees that were removed during construction. The heavy (noisy) work is now over and the owner expects the project will be completed within 60 days. I know that you were severely impacted and I will call you to discuss ideas I have to make it up to you.

Fantastic!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Eureka in early December. Beautiful sunset views. The house was very comfortable for our family of 5. The house was just as described and portrayed in the photos, clean and in good condition. Well equipped kitchen was a nice plus as we cooked many meals at home. I was a bit concerned that there was no air conditioning, but it was actually quite cool and comfortable and we wouldn't have used it. We loved the night sounds and searching for the LARGE iguanas sunbathing in the tree canopy. Nancy, the property manager was terrific! We will be back!
