We booked the "Hideaway" expecting a comfortable, secluded house to call home for a week and it did not disappoint. The Hideaway is on a private road at the end of a protected beach on the Caribbean side of St. John: great for a family looking for a quiet vacation, as it is about a 20 minute drive from the nearest restaurants and shops in Coral Bay. Things we loved:-Kitchen is awesome - we cooked 90% of our meals-Pool area and loggia (shaded lounge area/breezeway) with great view and airflow-Secluded, private beach with fantastic reef snorkeling directly off the beach-Water gear - kayaks, paddles, snorkeling gear, plenty of beach and bath towels-mini-split AC units in bedrooms for nighttime use; clean and comfy bedrooms-Quiet neighborhood with more sea turtles than people; walking the streets with commanding views of the bay and of the BVIs (if you go to the tippity-top!)-Excellent communication with hostCould be better:-Until we located the ice cube trays, the ice maker could not keep up-My daughter, a surfer, liked the paddle board but the rest of us had balance issuesMost memorable day:Our family of four took two double kayaks across the bay to a wild beach, snorkeled for a few hours, picnicked, and paddled back.Overall, the Hideaway is just a really lovely property - smartly designed and decorated in a fantastic location. We are so happy that we "splurged" on this vacation rental! 10 stars.
