We were a family of seven, two grandparents, two daughters with husbands and one teenage grandchild coming from three cold New England states. It was blissful to be there. We went kayaking, snorkeling, fishing, beaching, and relaxing. The weather was amazing. The house incredible, comfortable, well equipped, perfect.

Thank you for the 5 star review. We appreciate it.
We had an outstanding time in St John and loved staying at the tennis villa. Property managers were extremely helpful and responsive. Very warm and welcoming to us the entire week. The place was perfect for two families of 4 with two teenagers each. Beaches are magical. We particularly loved trunk bay at sunset. We would come back to tennis villa

Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again.
The house was great for my mobility challenged mom because it was all on one floor including the pool - no stairs! The kitchen is updated and well stocked. The rest of the home is very spacious and well-loved providing a glimpse back in time. It had everything we needed and was in a great location with nice views. It worked well as our home base to venture out from to the north shore beaches during the day and to the restaurants in Cruz Bay for dinners in the evenings. Air conditioning worked well in all of the bedrooms - no AC in the kitchen and living room but the large screened in windows and fans made it comfortable enough. The house had cats that we fed daily and a family of chickens. We also had a visit from the donkeys one day! And finally, we got unexpectedly delayed and had to stay on the island for several more days and the rental company was so easy to work with and found us a place to stay at a reasonable price. We would stay at this home again!

Tennis villa visit
Villa is a great location. Villa itself is nice. But it was in deep need of a deep cleaning. The dryer died. Dust on most fixtures and appliances. Hot water didn’t last long. Could’ve been cleaner. Decor was very dated. Communication with the manager was good. Pool was kept clean.

Thank you for your review. I apologize for any inconvenience and we will be looking into the issues you stated. We appreciate hearing from you.
Great spot for our group of friends to enjoy. Large kitchen with 2 refrigerators. Plenty of space to cook and grill. The large great room/dining area fit all of us comfortably. Pool deck and pool were in excellent condition with plenty of seating and views of 2 bays. If you want to play casual tennis, the court is nice, just bring grip tape for the available racquets and balls.
The villa was perfect for our group of 8. All of the rooms were setup as kings for each couple with a bathroom in each one. Both the kitchen and living room area were big, so we had plenty of space. The pool was a big hit for everyone in our group as it was long and deep so everyone could swim at the same time.
Though we didn't use the tennis court, we did get an opportunity to see a couple deer on the court one evening. The property was very beautiful with lots of trees, flowers and adorable tiny lizards. The night sky above the pool area was amazing and clear 90% of the trip, so perfect for those star gazers in the group.
We'll definitely try to stay at this villa again during our next visit and highly recommend staying on St. John. Everyone is extremely friendly and it's great if you just want a relaxing vacation with peaceful evenings and it also has the best snorkeling.
Easy access to town. 3 King Bedrooms, all ensuites. Great AC in all bedrooms.
The house is for sale and needs some improvements, but for our group it was just what we needed - a clean, safe, comfortable place to stay on St John. Thanks!

Relaxing vacation ever
My family recently stayed at tennis villa for a family reunion. This villas is perfect for a large group and sleeps up to 14 with the cottage. We spent the majority of our time at the villa. The spaciousness and comfort allowed us to relax, play tennis, a game of pool, swim and venture into town for dinner. I strongly recommend tennis villa. Everything from booking to our arrival to our last day was exceptional. We will return.

Perfect Location! Perfect Vacation!
We are a family of 5 - parents and 3 adult children. We are a family that is always on the go and love the evenings to relax and enjoy each others company. Tennis Villa fulfilled all of our requirements. We spent endless amount of hours playing tennis (yes, this villa has its own tennis court) in the mid-afternoon and evenings whilst the others would swim in the lap pool. These things are what really sold us about this home so I was very pleased that we took advantage of them as much as we did. We packed our own raquettes to play with since we all are avid players but were informed by the management company that there were some at the home. They were in good condition as well which is a plus for future renters who want to play for fun rather than compete with each other like my family does :)
The villa is very close to the Westin Resort as well. My husband and I walked to the Westin Resort and walked along the beach. We felt this sufficed as we knew the North Shore Beaches are driving distance away. Speaking of the North Shore beaches, my family and I swam with turtles when we snorkeled at Maho Beach! The most wonderful experience!
It is a very easy drive to find and the driveway is simple. We find the roads to be enjoyable when we go to St John but were very happy to see the flat driveway. Its also a circle driveway so there was never a need to back up or turn around and it fit 2 vehicles perfectly! We felt spoiled!
My husband and I stayed in the guest house while we left our adult children to sleep or stay awake to play pool in the main house. The kitchen is very large, perfect for my daughter who loves to cook (she did not inherit that from me), and it also has 2 refrigerators which was perfect for my other 2 always hungry boys. We thought this lay out was perfect for our family and I would recommend this villa to any family with children young or old(er). We will certainly be back!
