We rented this house as a group of ten (five couples). Based on the photos, we had high expectations, and the place did not disappoint. The accommodations were excellent. Beds extremely comfortable. Good hot water in the showers. Rooms immaculately clean. Breeze was fantastic in the evenings -- never even turned on the AC.
The kitchen was STOCKED with cookware, glassware, silverware, tupperware, wine openers, blenders, grilling utensils, etc. I've never seen so much kitchenware, and all in great condition. There was also plenty of plastic dishware for use around the pool. We used the outdoor kitchen to cook most of our meals. The grill also has two gas burners for cooking. We could do everything outside while enjoying the view. The ice maker kept up with our needs.
The pool and spa were also very clean. I'm a bit of a pool and spa snob -- often feeling as though places such as these do not keep them up to my standard. The pool and spa could not have been cleaner. There are very few things as relaxing as sitting in a hot tub, 100 stories up from the water, watching the sun go down with a drink in hand. The outdoor furniture was comfortable and in great condition, with more seating available than we had people there to use it. There was plenty in the sun for those who wanted it, and plenty in shady areas with comfortable lounge furniture as well.
For trips to the beach, the house is stocked with about ten beach chairs, multiple coolers, and a plethora of beach towels. You did have to drive to the beaches, but it was so worth it for the view. I'm estimating about a 5 minute drive to Cruz Bay and another 5 to Hawksnest, Caneel, and Trunk. Except to go to the beach, however, there was no reason to leave! I'd definitely recommend renting a car if you're staying here -- we did call for a taxi into town one night when we we're going to be drinking enough to not be driving. It would be less than convenient to do this all the time.
If you're avid ping pong players, bring some extra balls, otherwise you'll be searching for them on the hillside behind the house. Hitting the balls with some pace puts them at risk of going through the railings and over the edge.
We had a couple little issues come up while we were there which were remedied very quickly with a call to the concierge. No complaints there.
Already working on the location for 2017 and quickly realized that Deja View is going to be hard to beat! Recommend highly!!!
