We went to St. John as a group of two families and had a great one week stay at Ixora. What you see in the pictures is what you get, the property is fantastic and the views are incredible. The managing company does a really good job, are responsive, and are there for the guest if any need arises. Overall, a great vacation for us.

Perfect layout for 6 adults and 4 children under the age of 5. Exquisite views of the ocean. close proximity to the main beaches. Lovely family experience. Three issues to think about: accessibility to good food is a problem, bugs and no A/C. Not so much an issue with the property but with the island of St John itself. There is a continual breeze and we are not an A/C family so we were all comfortable. Also, the property was clean and orderly however behind and under beds (where bugs hide) it could use a thorough cleaning. My family made many wonderful memories here. It was perfect for gathering, relaxing and playing together.

It’s was the perfect house for all 10 of my family. The location was great we could easily get anywhere we wanted. We didn’t lack for anything. JP was wonderful checked on us throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this property for anyone.

This property is perfectly located with beautiful views and easy access to the best beaches. The rooms and living area gave us everything we needed. The property was well stocked with beach towels, beach bags, beach chairs, etc. There was no air conditioning but plenty of breeze and we were more than comfortable. We hope to come back again!

Loved every minute of this private slice of paradise with our family as a base camp for the island.

An ideal property for a group with center building for living, dining and hanging out. The outdoor are is enormous with very good seating for lounging as well as dining. Bedrooms are great and allow for time away from others. Some have mentioned no ac but the breeze at top of mountain. Bring some no seeum spray just to refresh if you have any issues with some bites. And frankly unless you traverse the island in a h to m ti ally seals bubble, you will get a few bites. Would return for sure And the mgmt group was great!

Our second stay at this property and we thoroughly enjoyed it once again. Love that view and the set up of the property. It is great for a group of people to spread out and have their own space. Would definitely stay here again. The deck is amazing!

Amazing views. Everything you need. Love having the Sonos.

Stay was wonderful, property has well stocked kitchen and a great lay out. Check in was easy especially since our flights went wonky and our arrival time changed last minute. Property manager was knowledgeable about the area and gave great recommendations for food and groceries. The villa book has great information and I was able to book a half day charter from it easily. I do agree about not wanting to be out after dark but that's a st john thing

We’ve stayed at many places around STJ and Ixora ranks right at the top. From the beautiful home, to the amazing pool, views and beyond it was all great. James and JP were super easy to work with and very responsive. One day the water in the house stopped working and they had someone out to fix it by the time we finished the Reef Bay Trail. Perfect location for easy access to north shore beaches as well which made it easier with the kids. 5/5 stars.

Really great experience. Worth the stay. Check out was a little early though.

Hard to beat this location. Close to national park beaches yet above coral bay with much to explore

Eight friends spent a week at this villa and had such a great time! The villa’s kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. The set-up of separate bedroom buildings was ideal. We loved having the pool and hot tub for evenings after spending each day at the beach, hiking, or shopping. We arrived in the middle of a torrential rain and flash flood warning which caused some water issues in one room in particular with a leaky ceiling, but it improved as the weather improved. Overall, this was a beautiful location and a very enjoyable stay. We would love to return again!

Great location close to the beaches and restaurants in Coral Bay 20 minute ride to Cruz Bay. Five minutes to Maho Bay. Property very clean views amazing. No air conditioning .

This place was perfect! We had a large group of friends and the space was divided so nicely and the gathering space large enough for everyone. The host was very responsive and helpful.

I'm just gonna leave that Title for my review in case you make the same mistake we did when booking this house. Hopefully it helps someone else. Before we booked we read everything, all the reviews, the description etc. Our Final payment was due in July- and I still went back and checked reviews just incase any one had anything negative to say as this was A LOT of money for the week, NOTHING. We get onto St. John and contact JP and he meets us at the house. Right when we walked in, my husband asks "Where's the thermostat for the A/C?"- JP quickly replies, "there isn't any". I immediately come back with, "No one told us, it's not listed anywhere, etc" and he says "yeah well its on their website" and storms out of the house without giving us the gate code to get in. My husband had to yell after him to get it and he told us the code as he slammed the door in our faces. After he left, my friend and I literally checked VRBO listing, even checked their regular page in case it may have been missed on VRBO. Nope. Nothing. No where does it state that it doesn't have A/C. It just simply doesn't state it at all. Now, I feel that that's a little shady to not inform people of something like that, if we had known we would have booked another property. Not to mention there were 4 fans in that house that didn't even work. So I contacted the property manager off site (not grumpy JP) and he sent him to buy us 2 more fans for our rooms. We were miserable. There were bugs everywhere! And the Pest control guy finally came the morning that we were leaving at 9am on Thursday. Waterbugs (Roaches) , huge centipedes, mosquitos, wolf spiders EVERYWHERE. I'm not going to be negative for this entire post because the house itself was beautiful, the view was beautiful. But that's it. I feel like I was tricked into thinking there was A/C and we had already spent all that money. Won't rent this house again. We will hopefully find something better with nice property managers that live on the island. Happy Anniversary to us!

Great location, they community showed us a lot of love, it is about 20mins away from the town so make sure you have a jeep rental, and know you have to catch the ferry to get to st Thomas. I absolutely loved my stay here, will come back again, villa was stocked with everything you need, make sure you stop by moes fresh market for groceries! Beautiful view that will bring everlasting memories! JP was very kind and informative of everything! Thank you for a great vacation stay!

Family of 5 with 3 kids under 12. Lovely private villa with gated drive. incredible views and unbelievable outdoor space- expansive patio/deck with large pool and hot tub. property management responsive and great to work with. Well stocked kitchen and beach items. Our only disappointment (and it was our oversight on booking- so I own that entirely!) is there is no air conditioning. The are tons of full ceiling to floor doors that catch breezes in the evening in the main building but it was pretty hot sleeping a few nights even with the fans. Also i should add it was uber hot the week we were on St. John. thanks to James and crew for making this a super memorable vacation for our crew!

Ixora was absolutely everything we were looking for. Excellent location, excellent layout, the best villa we have had in St.John. we definitely will be back soon.

Our second time staying at Ixora. Amazing view, love the layout of the space. Pool was so enjoyable. The location is perfect. Just a short drive to Maho and can easily get to Coral Bay and Cruz Bay. Loved it!

Beautiful home. Good wifi. Thanks for bench chairs, coolers, car vacuum, washer and dryer. A few suggestions: replace coolers. (One with missing plug, other one has lid that won't stay on). Hook latches to hold doors open on all doors. Thank you for the accommodations.

Really special place. Gorgeous views. Close to the quieter beaches on the south side of the island.

Absolutely stunning property, and perfect for our large family including my two sons and their wives as well as three grandchildren. Loved the layout, with plenty of space and privacy for everyone in the bedroom wings, yet the large central living pod with open air living and stunning views. The pool and patio were a huge hit after days at the beach, and the kitchen well equipped for preparing large family meals. My only critique was that I was charged extra for my 8 month old granddaughter who obviously didn't use the beds provided, and then additionally had to rent a booster chair for meals and bassinette for her to sleep in. Truly the most beautiful home we have stayed in on St. John's, and we have made many trips to the island!!! Perfect for large extended families.

We loved our stay at Ixora! We had a party of 7 adults and a 2 year old and the 5 bedrooms and 4 baths worked great. Loved sitting in the deck chairs watching the sun come up over Coral Bay. The location was perfect for north shore beaches and east end activities. The available beach chairs and coolers were a plus! Can’t go wrong with this property.

Great, well stocked place with awesome views, very close to Maho beach and Coral Bay. Highly recommended!

I'll give a completely honest review. The good and the bad. (And there was very little bad) The good: Entering Ixora for the first time you're going to be greeted with one of the most beautiful mountain views you've ever seen. Waking up every morning looking down at Saint John north shore truly feels like paradise. The facility itself is perfect. The view of the stars at night is as beautiful and aw inspiring as the day view. Spacious kitchen and living area with beautiful vaulted wooden ceilings and great ambience lighting is high class. Rooms are very nice. Bathrooms are modern and clean. My wife and I stayed there with one other couple and all 4 of us loved it and plan on going back. It was just such a great time. The bad: In my opinion the view makes it totally worth being on top of a mountain, however, it is a bit of a drive to most of the bars and restaurants on the island. Very few options less than 10 mins away. Cruz Bay is a very twisty/turny 20 min drive away. (Add another 10 mins or so for parking and walking to bar/restaurant). That isn't a complaint it's just something to be aware of if you're the type to enjoy a few cocktails with dinner (just sayin). Also, you're going to be on top of a mountain jungle. You are going to see a few of the creepy crawlie residents while you're there. Again, that isn't a complaint. It's not that bad and I could tell the property managers go to great lengths to make things clean and comfortable for guests. Just something to be aware of. Final thoughts: My wife and I are definitely going back. Next time we may bring grandparents and kids since grandparents are the best sitter;) It will accommodate 10 people. I personally would book no less than 4 and no more than 8 guests. Just my humble opinion. That said, book Ixora amd pack those bags. You're going to have an awesome vacation.

Great stay! Place has an amazing balcony/pool area.

We had an amazing stay at Villa Ixora. The house is well appointed with everything one would need. Contact with the property management team was easy and quick. Definitely highly recommended.

Wonderful

This house was amazing! We went with all my kids and we all had a wonderful time. The house was amazing, clean, equipped with everything you would need. JP did all the check in stuff and was awesome. He always responded back super fast when we had a question and was very helpful.

The property has a beautiful open-air main living area and 2 separate bedroom buildings. The pool and deck overlook the bay and have stunning views! Maho Bay is just a short drive away. Highly recommend this place when staying on St. John.

Absolutely love this villa! Everything we needed for a great week long stay! Pool is fabulous, and the view spectacular! This was our 2nd stay here at Ixora and it was amazing,! Wish we never had to leave!
