We had a great vacation week at this villa on beautiful St. John. The check-in process was smooth thanks to Dyana, our greeter, and Tammy, our real estate agent was readily accessible, but never intrusive. The villa was clean and well stocked with towels, linen, basic kitchen pots, pans and utensils. The pool was great, and the view is beautiful. The available snorkeling equipment was a definite bonus.
The two drawbacks are the layout of the unit and the unreliable power/water supply. The listing does not clearly mention that the upstairs is not connected to the downstairs from the inside, or that the third bedroom does not have inside access to a bathroom. In both cases occupants have to go outside for access, which is an annoyance at night and when it is raining. This information is technically included in the listing, but is apparent only upon careful scrutiny of the floorplan. Additionally, while the unreliability of WAPA, the local water and power company is legendary and beyond anyone's control, a generator would have helped us manage through the multiple power outages and concomitant loss of water, the worst of which lasted over twelve hours.
All things considered, the villa worked very well and the climate, natural beauty and warmth of the St. Johnians are unparalleled.
