Spring Break in Paradise

Wonderful property, third time to St. John, first at this location, a wonderful stay. Stunning views from every window, all amenities first-rate, kitchen well-stocked, furnishings lovely and comfortable, easy access to beaches; deck, and pool just what was needed at the end of a long day at the beach. The check-in process is easy, appreciated a parking pad for the car, and loved the architecture of the home, arched screened doors throughout created a wonderful breezy island stay, and especially enjoyed having the bedrooms in a separate building just next to the main house with the balcony on the second floor for the amazing view. The paved road to the house is very helpful when navigating the hills to be expected as part of any trip to STJ. Couldn't have asked for a better location or accommodations.

Lovely House with Beautiful Views, Perfect Location for visiting all parts of St John.

We were stunned by the beauty of the views and the surrounding landscape of this lovely 2 BR house. The house is built in Caribbean style, and furnished in a warm and comfortable style. It is actually 2 buildings, one with great room, cooled by breezes and fans, and the other building having 2 BRs cooled by breezes and fans, or AC. But we didn't find AC necessary, at all. We preferred to hear the tree frogs and birds singing. We would often cool off in the pool after a hot day at the beach. Everything you need is included- there are beach chairs, coolers, ice packs, beach towels. Bathrooms included extra towels, hairdryers, and shampoo, etc. just as you would expect in a 5 star hotel. Located just 10 mins from Maho Beach or Coral Bay, everything felt close. A light and airy experience! You will need a 4 wheel drive car.

Excellent again!

This is the second time we have stayed in this home and again it was excellent! The house is set up wonderfully. We love how the bedrooms are seperate from the main house so if someone gets up early they don't disturb the others. Or if you want to stay up late others won't be disturbed. We love being able to cook and everything we needed in the kitchen was there. Also what we needed for the beach (chairs, coolers, towels). The view is amazing! We would sit and just get lost in it. We will be back for sure.

Beautiful home

This is the second year in a row that we have stayed at Winsome house and absolutely loved both stays. The views are breathtaking and the deck expansive. My favorite parts of each day were walking up and watching the sun rise from the deck and relaxing next to the pool at the end of the day after a long (but fun) day of snorkeling. The house is centrally located, making it easy to explore all of the different beaches St. John has to offer. I loved having two seperate yet equally sized master bedroom suites. I would highly recommend staying here, you will not be disappointed!

Paradise Found!!!!

Just returned stateside from a 1 week stay on St John at Winsome House. It was my 4th trip to the island and by far the best. The owners and property managers of Winsome House have thought of EVERYTHING!! This stunning home lacks for nothing! The archtitecture is beautiful, the views are jaw dropping, and the management company wonderful to work with. The home is spotless! The driveway has some tough spots to navigate (rocky and bumpy) but 4 wheel drive comes in handy. It really needs to be graded and have some loose stone filled in. But a small price to pay for such a spectacular location with privacy!! Most of the local St Johnian resident's attitudes have not changed over the years. They are still a somewhat rude bunch with maybe 25% of them realizing that customer service and a smile are important. They mostly give the impression that you are an interruption of their work rather than the reason for it. "Island time" seems to be an excuse for "lazy". The management company excluded from this comment. Bernard was a pleasure, Thank you Bernard! If you choose Winsome House for your vacation, you will not be dissapointed in any way!!!!!!!! I cannot wait to re-book! R. Jensen

The Ideal Island Retreat!

My husband and I stayed at Winsome House on two occasions: in spring 2007 and late fall 2009. We can’t wait to go back! The views from this property are spectacular, especially the sunrises… {sigh} I wish I was there now. This home is very thoughtfully decorated, clean and well-cared for. A lot of care has gone into the landscaping, which is gorgeous. Everything -- from the bed linens to the dishes – is high quality. Even the showers have an open-air view of the bay. The house is stocked with a diverse selection of music and movies, so if you do get a rainy day or two, there’s plenty to keep you occupied. But then, just watching the storms roll in from the covered deck is a great way to spend an afternoon. The house is convenient to several of the best beaches (Maho Bay; Francis Bay), and there’s plenty of tasty food options in and around Coral Bay-- we enjoyed Aqua Bistro and Miss Lucy's the best. My favorite memories of staying at Winsome House: the tree frogs singing me to sleep; waking up to the sunrise; drinking my coconut crème coffee (from St. John Spice) on the porch overlooking Coral Bay; cooling off with a cold beer and a dip in the pool; dinner at Miss Lucy’s followed by the heart-pumping drive up the steep driveway in the dark… so many great memories here! Highly recommended for couples or families.
