Everything was great.The only request is to please provide a backup generator. We lost power for 16 hrs and no backup generator. With 10People 2 being babies 1,3 and 2 being 73 and 72. It was a pretty rough go with no running water, no toilets and no a/c. Other thank that the management ladies are amazing and Ricki the cab driver was definitely the highlights. ThankYou for an amazing week.

Loved the view. Liked the convenience of being close to Cruz Bay and on the way to the many beaches we visited. The beach chairs were used every day of our vacation.

We loved our stay at Meritage Great House. Amazing views, fun wildlife like Iguanas in the trees and the pool was perfect. The bedrooms are good size with comfortable mattresses. The kitchen has everything you need and the open concept worked well with our family. We were grateful for the AC at night but otherwise didn't really use them. The location is great - outside of the Cruz Bay buzz but close enough to enjoy Cruz Bay if you so desire.

We arrived in St John on the 14th of March and checked in around 6pm. The power went out around 10pm and we got full power on Tuesday.The place is beautiful and we would have enjoyed it so much more if we had AC,electricity and running water.The owners are very nice and they need to get a generator.as their house was not that much cheaper than the ones that have one.

Great gathering opportunities

There are 3 great outdoor, including screened porch, for our group of 8. Loved the ability to relax together, or if necessary find a spot for quiet time. The indoor is also spacious enough for our group, but when in St. Johns who wants to be indoors!Property manager and owners were very helpful and available.

Family friendly

We loved being in a house that had a good sized living area for everyone and yet separate spaces as well as all the bedrooms were separate and had separate bathrooms attached. Great for couples traveling together and families. Our kids loved the pool and all the iguanas in the trees. Only negative was it would have been nice to have a half bath off the main living area so you didn’t have to go all the way downstairs to a bedroom to use the bathroom.

Reunion!

I have three brothers, we get together every year for a week. Meritage was perfect because we 4 each had a beautiful, comfortable bedroom and en suite bath. We loved the view of chocolate Hole with the amazing sunsets. The layout and privacy is absolutely exquisite. We will plan to be back here next time…

Family Time Together

The Meritage Great House was excellent. The view was spectacular. The common areas were fantastic for family time. The bedrooms were each equipped with their own bathroom and adjustable air-conditioning unit. The cottage was well equipped with chairs for the beach and snorkeling equipment. The soak pool was wonderful. Abigail was extremely helpful during the check-in and checkout process and assisting us in arrangements getting to St. John. We would definitely stay there again.

The Perfect Vacation Home

Meritage House is perfect for those wanting a wonderful island experience. Its private yet close to beaches , town and grocery stores. Our group loved the outdoor space…screened porches and pool. We especially liked the privacy of the bedrooms. The photos on VRBO are true representations of how Meritage is decorated and set up. Linda and Randall were wonderful to deal with. Our group DEFINITELY recommends Meritage house for your stay in St John

St John 2023

This cottage is spacious, comfortable, and clean. It's a quick ride to town and has plenty of room for everyone. During our stay, there were 3 couples and 2 'kids' in the house and another couple in the cottage and there was plenty of room for all of us in the house hanging out, getting ready to go out to town or the beaches; outdoor room was great too, plenty of space for everyone when grilling or hanging out by the pool. Awesome place!

Quiet Oasis

We stayed at Meritage for a week in July. Aside from the amazing views it offers, it’s convenient to the Starfish Marketplace for shopping, 10 minutes to Cruz Bay, and close enough to the beaches, especially Hawk’s Nest. The host provides plenty of linens, soaps and shampoos, laundry facilities and detergent, and beach equipment. Large home with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy time together or apart. We will be back.

Our stay in this place was amazing! The owner, Linda and property manager Abigail were hands down the best we’ve ever worked with. It down poured the first two days we were there right before our wedding ceremony and they were both willing to do whatever it took to make sure we had a beautiful day. Weather ended up turning out beautiful, but they went above and beyond prior to our trip and our whole stay. we will definitely stay there again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!!

Meritage House

We loved our stay at Meritage House on St. John. The location was very convenient to Cruz Bay. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked and the pool was refreshing. Unfortunately there is no longer a hot tub so that amenity should be removed from the website. The manager was very quick to respond when we contacted her a few times. Our grandson especially enjoyed the iguanas that reside in the trees beside the pool! I would love to return some day!

Hi Nancy, Thank you for the kind words, Meritage Great House really is a wonderful home. We are glad you loved your stay as much as we do when we visit. We inherited the hot tub from the previous owner, unfortunately it was constantly having issues with heating and based on guests feedback it was not being utilized. We couldn’t justify the electricity consumption for something that wasn’t being used, so based on all the above, we decided to have it removed. Abby truly is wonderful; we are so fortunate that she is there for our guests. Having someone that was born and raised on the island is a great advantage for our guests. Abby will assist with you with anything while you are on the island. It brought a smile to my face imagining your grandson getting such a kick out of watching the iguanas in the trees, we love watching them also. We would love to have you come stay with us again. Just let me know the dates and I will be glad to hold them for you. If you decide to bring more people on the next trip, consider renting the cottage at the same time. You will then have 5 big bedrooms to fill and the cottage does have a hot tub on it’s own private porch. Thank you for taking such great care of Meritage Great House. You are always welcome back! Stay in touch! Linda & Randall 🌴

Caribbean heaven

We loved our stay at Meritage- the house was clean, rooms comfortable, and the house was so close to Cruz Bay(not walking distance, but close with jeeps!). It was easy to communicate, and ask questions when needed. The only Downside we found was that there is a hot tub advertised, but not hot tub at the house. The dryers did not work well, we had to hang most things up after washing them. Overall we loved out stay!!

Hi Whitney, We are glad that you loved your stay. ☺️ We have 2 dryers, one needs a new belt, and will be getting that this Friday. The other dryer seems to be working fine. Perhaps it had to do with one of the settings on the machine. We have not advertised a hot tub at the house for 2 years now. We have a hot tub at our guest cottage, maybe you were thinking about that one. Thanks again for taking such great care of the house. We would love to host you again in the near future. 🌴

Beautiful home with great views

This house was way more than we expected when we arrived. The pictures don't do it justice. There is so many levels so even with a full house of guests almost every bedroom is on its own level. The pool was amazing looking over chocolate hole and the mountains and best sunsets. We didn't want to leave the house, we could have stayed at the house our entire trip instead of venturing out to see other areas, it's simply gorgeous. We will definitely stay at Meritage every time we visit St John!!
