As a family we struggled finding the right place on St. John due to so many non-children friendly homes. This house met almost all of our criteria: view, separate bathrooms for each bedroom, enclosed home, beautiful pool, private and secluded, close enough to Cruz Bay, walking distance to Ocean. The only amenity the house didn't provide was walking distance to a beach as all of the Beaches are on the North Side of the Island versus the South Western side of the island at Rendezvous Bay.
Everything that we wanted was met. Everything. I actually asked the family if they would give up this house for a house that was walking distance to the beach and all at the same time said no. Everybody loved the home. Huge home, safe, great entertaining area - as we all hung out in the living area that completely opened up to the outdoor patio and pool.
Few minor drawbacks: we ran into a few issues with the house - A/C was not working in one room, a few light switches didn't work, the water was a bit funky to get warm/cold water, and the kitchen sink only had cold water. However, we did make the management company aware of these problems and they were more than accommodating (actually came out to visit multiple times). Additionally, the house was a tad bit outdated, some of the bathroom decor and some had missing tiles. However, as you can see, I'm still giving it a 5 because this in no way affected our stay.
I appreciate how easy it was to work with the owner Kurt, the management Company VILA Villas, and our greeter. The stay couldn't have been better and if we could go back next year - we would be staying in the same house.
