The most beautiful place! Quiet, perfect views! The flamingos were so cool to see, really nice secluded beaches really close by and it had everything I needed and more inside the house!
The villa was a nice retreat. Very quiet area of the island with nice beaches around. Only thing need a suv of some sort the road to villa is a little rough.
Property was as described and great location at east end of the island. Communication was great with the owners and we really enjoyed our stay. Salt Pond and Lameshur are both very close and 2 of our favourite beaches.
This Was an incredible opportunity to stay at a wonderful house. The layout is great especially y kids off other couples. The full back deck afforded an expansive view of a salt pond and Kiddel Bay. The salt pond is in the foreground and hosted at least 100 flamingos per day. Mostly in the morning, and some in the evening. It was a wonderful display. The house location is private and serene. I couldn’t think of a better place to stay in St. John.
We had a lovely stay at Mango! The view is magnificent and the area is peaceful and serene. We loved having our morning coffee watching the birds and distant beach and were lucky enough to see pink flamingos in the salt pond!
We had a really nice stay. So many great beaches sites within near proximity to the house. Location is o. The quiet and more rustic side of the island, which is what we wanted.

Thanks for review.
Taciturn is a great quality.
We can't take credit for the weather :)
For those who want to get away from both Cruz Bay and even Coral Bay, this is a great spot. Remote yet not isolated. We found the location between the beaches to be just right.
I stayed with a group of 4 friends for a week at Mango Villa and we had a great time! It was just what we needed, with easy access the hiking and beaches for snorkeling and relaxing. Would highly recommend!
The Mangos was everything that we hoped for. The location was fantastic. Of all the beaches the ones closest to the property were our favorites. Calm, uncrowded and beautiful with great snorkeling. The view from the deck was amazing. Salt pond, ocean, and unspoiled mountains, you couldn't ask for more. We saw flamingos, herons, a turtle and soldier crabs right from the deck. The area was peaceful and walking distance to a fantastic coble beach. The artistic touches and landscaping put this place as a one of a kind property. We needed to contact the owner at one point and she was prompt and helpful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful special space with us.
We were very pleased at the separation and privacy of the two bedrooms. Worked well for two couples. Wonderful views and very peaceful. We explored every day -birding and snorkeling.
We have stayed here twice and love the quiet and nature. Plenty of space and great view. Walk to two great snorkeling beaches and short ride to others. Clean and well stocked. Layout is great with one bedroom separate from other two. If we get back to at John again we would not stay anywhere else!
This property is located on the far south end of the island. It was a great place to relax and access Coral Bay and Salt pond beach. The house comfortable for our party of 5 adults. We loved being on the screened patio. Great access to the national park.
Overall, we absolutely loved staying at the Mango! From beach chairs to a toaster oven to plenty of beach towels - and everything in between - all of our needs were met. Wonderful location close to Grootpan Bay and Salt Pond where we had our favorite snorkeling adventures! The Mango is a great price for a cozy villa located on a private and quiet area of the island. In the mornings we even had a surprise visit from flamingoes, which came as a surprise. One frequent STJ visitor shared with us this is the first time she had heard of flamingoes coming to the island. Simply put, this was a perfect cozy casita for my husband and I - we would absolutely come back in the future!

Beautiful home on amazing island
Mango Villa is a beautiful house located in a very quiet part of the island. The balcony is perched overlooking a salt pond and bay, and so we had all our meals to amazing views. The house is spacious and very well organised so our family of 5 had plenty of room to enjoy our stay. St John has some amazing beaches that are only a short distance away.

Thank your for your great review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and that Mango was such a good fit for your family.
My family and I loved our time at mango villa! We really appreciated the detailed directions to the house and all the tips for the island! We enjoyed yoga on the porch while watching the flamingos, dinners on the screened in deck, movie nights after long days on the beach, and the stock of beach toys and coolers! I would definitely recommend this villa to others! The AC units in each bedroom were lifesavers. I will cherish my time in St. John for life.
My wife and I spent 10 nights at Mango Villa and it could not have been better. It's a world away from the bustle of Cruz Bay and exactly what we were looking for. We planned to explore more of the island but ended up spending most of our time snorkeling at Lameshur, Kiddel, and Grootpan as well as hiking to Reef Bay. The kitchen was well-stocked, the master bedroom was cool and comfy, and the screened-in porch had great views and was perfect for meals and readlng. We will definitely be back!

Nice place but needs some updates.
Nice place but a with a few updates like blind or curtains that fit the window would help greatly. Just for future occupants the road to the house is not really a road but a rock path which is completely wash out (not the owners fault) but just for full disclosure for others:
Pros: Quiet, clean, fully equipped, walking distance to good snorkel beaches(Salt pond, Grovepan) and a trail.
Cons: Longer drive from other attractions.
The owners have provided useful info about the villa, beaches, and car rental and driving directions. Our questions before the trip were quickly answered. We had a heavy storm the first night stay there and power was out. We contacted the owners, who have quickly had the issue resolved.

A quiet private gem!
We really enjoyed our stay at Mango Villa. If you like privacy, quiet and the opportunity to snorkel in two different bays this is the place for you. We were always the only ones snorkeling in Kiddle/Grootpan bays. Many of the other beaches in St John can be quite crowded at times. The long deck with the lovely view of the bays is fantastic. We especially enjoyed having the ceiling fan on the deck. Brianna was responsive and accommodating and so supportive. The place was clean, homey, and well stocked. It is even nicer than the pictures. We were here for work (research) and I can't wait to come back for vacation.

Why they chose this property
This is not the resort Caribbean. This is a private spot at the end of the road. This is peace and quiet on our favorite island.
