Wonderful, relaxing home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything about this villa was absolutely perfect. The place was gorgeous, very clean and well stocked. We were there mid-March so it was too cool to use the pool which was in the shade most of the time. Maneuvering the driveway was an experience and our driver handled it perfectly. The staff was very accommodating.

Thanksgiving in St. John

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great villa in convenient location. Stunning views from porch. Breezes kept living room areas comfortable. Driveway a little intimidating at first but not bad after a couple of trips. Catered To staff was friendly and responsive. Would not hesitate to recommend villa to others.

Gorgeous views and great location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From the moment you step foot through the door, the views are absolutely breathtaking. You have both a bay and ocean view. Really close proximity to Chocolate Hole Beach which was our favorite snorkeling spot. We saw sharks, lionfish, sting rays, spotted eagle rays, turtles and more! It’s about a 10 minute drive to all shopping and dining. We liked the privacy of how the bedrooms were separated at the villa as well. The only issue was that the internet cut in and out which made it hard to work. I ended up using my mobile hotspot on my phone. But the beauty of the villa overcame the internet issue. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Blue Tang - May 2024

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It began with Abby showing us around, who was 100% wonderful. The view was incredible and the house was great. The problem was the island lost power and with no generator, we had no power or water for 1.5 days. We were told we would be brought lanterns and fresh towels but that never happened. The dryer also didn't work and that took 2 days to resolve. I knew driveways were tough on St. John and this one was especially steep.All that said, we made the best of things and had a great time. I would use CateredTo again, but would have conversations first.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Blue Tang is in a perfect location and has everything you will need. Allowing you easy access to get to desired locations from the villa quickly. One downside is that the living and kitchen area does not have AC and even with the doors open we were not able to cook in the kitchen without feeling pretty miserable from the heat. My only suggestion for this villa would be to add AC in that area then it would be 5 stars all the way around!!

Nice villa, ruined by massive construction project across street

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've rented several villas on St John, Blue Tang had nicely updated bathrooms, a new pool, and was well equipped.Unfortunately, the rental experience was ruined by the construction of a huge house across the street, directly in the line of sight to the water. Large trucks and machinery arrived at 7am each day, along with big crews of workers. Sitting by the pool in the afternoon was disrupted by constant, loud construction noise. This project is in the early stages (March 2024) so would not recommend renting here for at least a year to ensure that this is done. Villa rental agency and owner were completely unwilling to offer any discount for this bad experience.

Not Full Disclosure

House was as described however I received a call saying the pool was under repairs but after arriving we saw the pool obviously was destroyed by a storm years ago because there were trees and overgrowth of plants where the pool had been. So they lied about the pool even being an option for our visit. I had selected the house because of the location and the pool so we would not have to go to the beach. I did not mind if the pool had actually been under repair as I had been told however they flat out lied about the pool even being there for years!! I would have preferred they be honest and just give me a discount since there was no pool as the advertisement was misleading and just not true. They should have been honest and told me there was no pool from the beginning and give me a discounted rate since the ad had not been corrected! It seems honesty just isn't important anymore.

Blue Tang -

The pictures are exactly as you see in person. We enjoyed the stay very much. Would book again, when the pool is restored. The driveway hill is a challenge, but not for an experienced driver and adequate vehicle. Would have preferred whole house air conditioned, as the bugs bite you even indoors. Also, you have to go through the bathroom to reach the second bedroom. While not inconvenient, dilutes privacy.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Maintenance on house was very disappointing -- master bath sink plugged up when we arrived, 3 days later a water tap handle came off and sink mechanism had to be replaced; holes in screens and screens coming off tracts; several overhead light fixtures not working, broken floor tiles. BUT owners did provide 4 sets of snorkelling gear (is this smart in this time of Corona Virus? I would not recommend this property unless repairs were made. If they were made it is a great place!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 2nd stay with Cateredtovacations. Last time was Coqui which we very much enjoyed.We were very pleased with the staff experiences. We had prompt and pleasant responses to all our concerns. The space was just right for us. That said, the home is a bit shop worn and didn't warrant the hefty price tag. Broken tiles, insecure windows and screens, holes in the screens, kitchen lighting crackled, poor faucets and poor drain in sink in master bedroom. A wonky safe that we felt unable to use. We didn't feel secure in the home due to the lack of good locks. We found no pot holders.

Location, amenities, cleanliness, comfort and privacy were advertised. Maintained everything and housekeeping left something to be desired. Despite a call, nothing was rectified. The once a week housekeeping never appeared. But all was well, we love St John!
