Paradise Found…

Idyllic is truly as advertised! Jackie and team met us as we arrived on island, and provided a great intro to St John, the house, and recommendations for all of our interests! The house is wonderful- A/C throughout, great harbor views, and the pool was surprisingly great to come back to each evening! I could not recommend them any higher!

Great stay, great for kids.

We had a fantastic stay. The location is excellent, conveniently right outside of Cruz Bay. The pool was a hit with the kids. House was clean and cool and the snacks/drinks left for us was a nice touch. The house is nestled off the road, surrounded by vegetation, giving you plenty of privacy. You can barely see any neighbors and outside of a few trucks passing by it was as quiet as could be. Michele met us at our car rental and showed us the home. She was very kind and answered all of our questions. The AC worked well and kept us cool, although the bedroom units were a bit loud. We were warned of possible rolling power outages but luckily it didn't happen during our stay.Would definitely recommend, and we would stay again.

Just sit on the porch

This property grows on you as the week progresses. So comfortable, a few glitches but the property managers jumped right in to fix things. The porch is just an awesome place to be from sun up to dusk. Keep up with any maintenance and this will be a star place for years to come.

Wonderful stay!

We just returned from Idyllic Villa and our time there was wonderful. The pictures do not do it justice. We absolutely loved the layout for 2 couples. Plenty of privacy, great outdoor area that’s covered and has a huge table. Plus great pool and pool deck. Also loved how close we were to town… just a 6 minute drive. We will not hesitate to stay here again!

Great second time at Idyllic!

We spent a week on our honeymoon 17 years ago at Idyllic and decided to take our 3 kids this time! It was fantastic! They heard my husband comment how there used to be a hammock on the back deck, and the next day they set one up! Beautiful views and very helpful hosts.

Beautiful view, comfortable home

We enjoyed every minute of our time at Idyllic! The home is comfortable, warm, and inviting and came with everything we needed plus some. We loved reading on the covered porch, walking in the quiet neighborhood, and watching a spectacular sunset every evening. The location close to town was wonderful! Paradise!

Lovely Family Holiday

We stayed at Idyllic for almost 2 weeks with our grown children and their spouses. It was perfect! The view and the location were exceptional! My husband woke early every day just to sit outside and overlook Chocolate Hole. My kids loved the separate apartment on the lower level. The pool was lovely too. We had a wonderful time!

Great Location

Property has a very open and tropical feel that blends into the environment around it. Built into a hillside with panoramic views of the harbor it was a perfect distance from town, shops, restaurants and markets. Far enough away to be quiet and secluded but close enough to run into town in just a few minutes. I think the best way to describe the property would be cozy - not big or overly luxurious (not that we were looking for or expected that) it had everything we needed from the pool which was larger and deeper than many we had perused online, to an extremely well stocked kitchen, lots of outdoor seating, towels snd snorkeling/pool/beach gear. We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic Week at Villa Idyllic!

They say that the 3 most important things with a property is location, location, location. And Villa Idyllic is in a perfect location in the Chocolate Hole area with amazing views of the sea and beautiful daily sunsets. My family of 6 including 4 kids ranging from 8-17 years old spent a week at Idyllic and loved it. We also enjoyed the pool and the close proximity to many great restaurants, beaches and hiking trails. The villa had everything we needed to help make this a vacation a winner. Jackie was super responsive and helpful throughout the process. If you are considering renting a villa in St. John, I would definitely recommend Idyllic.
