An unforgettable week in a fantastic location.
My family of 4, with 2 teens, stayed had an incredible week on St John. The villa was fantastic, most specifically the deck with breathtaking views, the well appointed villa, and truly the perfect location; walk to Francis Bay, hike to Watermelon Cay, only minutes from North Shore Beaches, and close enough to Coral Bay and Salt Pond. The first evening after check in, we walked to Francis Bay and were swimming with turtles within minutes prior to an epic sunset. The property managers, Luciah and her husband, were amazingly helpful, responsive, and just lovely people. Meeting them added to our enjoyment of the week. Ask them anything! I wish I had asked a few more because the villa is so well equipped with cooking staples, beach and snorkeling gear that we could have packed a little lighter had we known. The listing could be updated to mention some of these amenities?Some things about the place could use a little updating and paint refresh. But as is, it's the perfect place at the right price point.One major thing of note, two of the bedrooms are en suite rooms detached from the main 1 bedroom house. One of these rooms turned out to be unusable for us as it was down under a deck and felt too dark and remote (an isolated feeling, which could be great for certain groups especially couples!!) for my teen son. He opted to sleep on the couch for the week instead. So, that was a slight bummer but did not detract from our incredible week on the island. We will return. Thank you
