The property was beautiful.The views were amazing. The pool was fabulous. I wish we had been more informed about the kitchen and living room having no air condition. it was too hot to cook in the kitchen and sitting upstairs was not an option until the evening due to the heat.The host and the listings also need to upfront about the ongoing power problems in St Jon and St Thomas. With the price they are renting this property fort needs some updating.Start with a generator to offset the ongoing power issues.

Hi Holli, We are happy to hear that you appreciated our beautiful property, and also sorry to see a 4 star vs a 5 star review for our home. We look forward to the exceptional reviews of past guests. Please know that it is never our intention to mislead or misrepresent Villa Capiz in any way. In regards to the air conditioning, our property description clearly states that we have three air conditioned bedrooms complemented with many luxurious, open air, island style indoor and outdoor living spaces. We’re sorry you apparently missed that. To address the power outage situations occurring in the islands, they are, of course, random and out of our control, and especially inconvenient for those folks without alternative energy. We hope you appreciated our solar power and battery backup energy capabilities which provided uninterrupted electricity throughout your stay, day and night. We are confused about your comment of wanting a generator. With a little intentional conservation it’s easy to live completely off the grid at Villa Capiz, even without a generator (which we do have for emergencies). The Satellite WiFi also remains functional throughout power outages. For those folks looking for hotel style accommodations, maybe Villa Capiz is not for you. For those looking for a luxury tropical home that immerses one comfortably in nature with a pool, hot tub and privacy, we invite you to experience Villa Capiz.

Wow! What a terrific place! We selected the Villa Capiz based on the view, and it did not disappoint! The view of Great Cruz Bay and the surrounding area was amazing. Right from the beginning of our reservation, the owner Debbie and the Property Managers Robyn and Aaron were very responsive and helpful in answering our questions. The villa was very clean when we arrived, and Robyn/Aaron made sure to show us where everything was and how everything worked (i.e., hot tub, pool). The beds were comfortable, the air conditioners cooled the bedrooms, and the kitchen/grill worked very well. We loved the sound of the tree frogs in the evening! We would highly recommend the Villa Capiz and hope to stay there again.

Villa Cadiz was a great experience! Beautiful view, and amazing sunsets! Spacious property, very clean, and well equipped kitchen. Plus pool, jacuzzi and grill. I was impressed by the landscape and the gorgeous mango tree (we ate some).The property is a 10-12 min drive from Cruz Bay. Totally worth the drive to enjoy calm and privacy (and the view).Robyn and Aaron are spectacular managers too. Easy check in, very responsive and excellent recommendations on what to do and where to eat.I would definitely go back!

Incredible Stay in St. John

Breathtaking views from this gorgeous home on St. John. Perfect for a family or several couples, 3 well appointed bedrooms. Cooked breakfast every day in the gourmet kitchen and made use of the pristine grill with a sunset view of St. Thomas to the west. Very large pool for the island plus a hot tub that was great in the evening. Nicely appointed home with landscaping that made it feel like a private oasis. It will be difficult to return to St. John and not stay at Villa Capiz.

Amazing

What an absolutely perfect place to stay! Not only is the Villa itself gorgeous and functional but the view is beyond stunning. There was an island wide blackout for our first 2 days and the solar panels and Tesla walls kept everything running perfectly, and the property managers were in touch with us the entire time keeping us updated. We didn't even notice because we were out enjoying the island, and when we were at the villa we were just caught up in the stunning view and beautiful pool. We will absolutely be renting Villa Capiz again when we take our next trip to the island!
