ブリサス・デル・マー|日の出の眺めとカリブ海のそよ風

Thank you Melinda! We're thrilled to hear your group enjoyed your stay at Brisas Del Mar. We would happily welcome you back again.

Thank you Gary! We are happy that you enjoyed your stay at Brisas Del Mar. We hope to welcome you back next time you visit.

Thank you Kelli. We are glad you enjoyed your stay! A lot of the roads on St John are dirt roads which is why we always suggest a vehicle with 4wd ~ part of the island adventure! We hope to hear from you again soon.

Thank you Patrick, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We loved having you as guests and look forward to hearing from you again soon!

Thank you Christina, We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your special Father's Day trip! We hope to hear from you again soon!

Thank you Ellie, we are happy you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to welcoming you back!

Thank you Elizabeth! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your return visit to Brisas Del Mar. Yes, the road up can be tricky, but nothing 4WD can't handle! Sounds like you all mastered it. We hope to welcome you back a third time!

Thank you Gowen. We hope you enjoyed your stay! We are happy to hear you loved the setup. The road is part paved, part unpaved, and can be bumpy at spots. This is why we require 4WD ~ part of the island adventure! We hope to hear from you again soon.

Thank you for your review, Kathy! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed your time at Brisas Del Mar for such a special occasion. The road is steep leading to the villa which is why we always recommend a Jeep to our guests. We like to think it is all part of the island adventure! Hopefully we get the chance to welcome you back to St. John for that 5 star review.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful views, sunrises, private pool, hot tub, and comfy beds. We strive to provide everything our guests need to have a relaxing stay, so it’s great to know you felt well taken care of. We appreciate your feedback on the space and understand that the house may have felt smaller than anticipated. We always aim to provide accurate photos and descriptions, and we’re grateful for your input. Regarding the road access, we're sorry to hear it was a bit challenging. We always recommend a 4-wheel drive for that reason. Roads on St. John can be challenging! We hope you had a great time despite the road and that you'll consider staying with us again in the future.

Thank you Rebecca! We are so glad you enjoyed your time on island at Brisas Del Mar! We appreciate you choosing to visit especially post storms! We would love to have you stay with us again and hope to hear from you soon! -Your Island Hosts

Thank you for your kind words. We are glad your family enjoyed your stay at our villa and we hope you can return again soon to enjoy the quiet side of St. John.

Thank you Kathy for your review! We're so happy to hear your group enjoyed the amenities at Brisas Del Mar. Those views and breezes are the highlight! The roads on St. John are not for everyone, but can also be a part of the island adventure. We always recommend vehicles with 4WD to our guests for this reason. We hope to welcome you back next time!

Thank you so much for your feedback, and we’re glad to hear that you found the house amazing, clean, and well-equipped — and that you enjoyed the incredible views and local wildlife! We understand that the road leading to the villa can be challenging, especially for guests who may be less comfortable with rugged terrain. We do make every effort to clearly communicate in our listing and pre-arrival information that the road is unpaved and rough, and that a 4WD vehicle — like a Jeep — is required. In fact, 4WD is recommended for many roads throughout the island, not just ours, as they are often steep or uneven due to the natural terrain. To help guests navigate more easily, we offer a complimentary (and required) meet and greet service so we can personally guide you to the villa. GPS is often unreliable on the island as there are no addresses. We appreciate your feedback, and we’re grateful that you still enjoyed the home and your stay overall. We hope to welcome you again in the future.

Thank you Samuel. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your time on island at Brisas Del Mar. Your review is very helpful for future guests; we appreciate it! We loved having you as guests and hope to welcome you back again soon!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. It is unfortunate you did not mention any of this during your stay, even after we spoke with you. We are mostly disappointed you did not give us any opportunity to work to make your stay more comfortable. We would have been happy to change out your propane and bring you extra supplies if what was supplied was inadequate. We stock the villa with all of the items you mentioned (bug spray and candles aside), plus lots more, and this is verified prior to your arrival. Regarding the view, we are very careful to manage expectations about this. Your comment about a 2-star view seems to have been more of a comparison to villas that were not available for your stay - and that is unfair to Brisas Del Mar as the advertised view is very accurate. While this villa is clearly not for you, we do not believe it warranted 3 stars based on your comments -- all that said, we are glad you had a good vacation overall.

We are sorry that our villa was not a good fit for these guests. We have tried to make it clear on our website that the final ½ mile access to the villa climbs up a neighborhood road that is mostly gravel and rough in places. Several reviewers have accurately described this. We have also indicated there is no air conditioning. Unfortunately these guests did not raise a question about the road or the lack of air conditioning before arriving. The villa is aptly named for the tropical breezes and we continue to believe that the villa does not need air conditioning. We prefer to have the villa open with the breezes and ceiling fans, rather than shut up with artificially cool air. We learned after their visit that some of the guests were elderly (over 80). Had we known that in advance we certainly would have raised the issue of the road. The loss of electricity cited in the review is unusual. It is not uncommon for the electricity to go off occasionally – we were in the villa for two weeks in May and lost electricity once for about 15 minutes. We have since learned that the issue was with the local utility company. Fortunately, as cited in the review, we have a terrific couple on island who treat the villa as if it were their own. We encourage prospective guests to call us if they have any questions or concerns. We have no interest in renting our villa to guests who are not going to enjoy themselves.
