This was the first time I planned a trip with only a couple of weeks turnaround from planning to flying due to a very last minute pto oppurtunity. I was half expecting to get owners that were guarded about the tight time crunch but instead got very helpful owners that answered all of my questions. I'm still quite shocked that this property wasn't already booked, considering it was also carnival time in St. John. Although the reviews were great and pictures looked fine, I didn't know what to expect. The house was gorgeous and spotless! I can't stress enough how tasteful the place is decorated and furnished. I stay a week down the jersey shore every year, so I've had my fill of tacky beach decor....there's something weirdly peaceful about coming home after a beach day to a tasteful, calm place. And it was also the best provisioned place I've every stayed in. It had everything you needed & what it had was quality. Can't say I ever stayed in a place with pottery barn dishes before. Spices galor, sugar, every cleaning product you could think of, every utensil. Tons of games, towels (including the thickest and largest beach towels I've ever seen). Even binoculars. The view was perfect and the deck furniture was substantial and comfortable....no cheap plastic stuff that could blow around. Yes, there are a lot of stairs to get down to the beach and pool but it honestly wasn't bad. Would not change a thing and would definitely return.
