About this villa rental
It’s hard to choose a favorite from among Altagracia’s many enticing features. Is it the huge pool, equally suited for playful splashing and peaceful floating? Or the endless decks, from which you’ll enjoy the most stunning sunsets of your life? Perhaps the breezy little hammock nook where you’ll fall asleep gazing out across the Caribbean Sea? Like we said, it’s hard to choose.
Staying at Altagracia is like making a new friend, one of those who you feel like you’ve known for years, even if it’s only been a few days. Walking in the front door, you’ll feel immediately at home, surrounded by comfortable furniture and island charm. The four bedroom suites are private and plush, and they can accommodate up to eight guests. No matter what part ends up being your favorite, you’ll leave Altagracia knowing you’ve made a friend for life.

We were very happy with the accommodations at Altagracia. The beds and other furniture were comfy, which is always key for me - good sleep is essential for a restorative vacation.The home was well stocked with a BBQ grill plus all the kitchen tools, cookware and dishes we needed. There were also towels for the shower and beach, plus extra sunscreen and bug spray left behind from prior visitors. The pool was large enough for 7 people to enjoy at once without feeling overcrowded. We really liked the unusual floor plan, which worked great for us: 2 families, occupying 2 bedrooms each. There was just 1 primary bedroom and bathroom connected to the main living space. The other 3 bedrooms were accessible from the exterior, connected by decks and stairs. It provided a little more privacy and quiet that way.The short 5 minute drive to town was also a plus. It was really nice to be nearby but not in the fray. It also felt a little cooler to be elevated on the hill. (It was toasty and humid in June. We were grateful for fans in the rooms, and air conditioning that worked well.) Finally, we absolutely loved the views. It was relaxing to watch the ferries come and go, day and night. This is a gorgeous property that feels well maintained. It's a trek getting to USVI from California, but we had a wonderful time. If we ever return to St John, we'd happily stay here again.

It accommodated our needs and provided plenty of room to spread out and enjoy individual spaces and common areas with comfort. This vacation rental exceeded our expectations...it was everything as advertised and so much more. The location was perfect to enjoy all the celebration activities, restaurants and grocery stores...will need to rent a vehicle or use a taxi. Thank you so much...we’ll be back!!!

We were visiting St. John for our wedding week! Joined by friends and family across the island! We Could not have asked for a better Villa! The Views were incredible and it was 5 min from downtown Cruz Bay! Everything was completely stocked and the outdoor pool and gas grill took up most of our time! Check in was a breeze and everybody was extremelyHelpful if we needed something! Perfect house for a group of 8! 10/10 would recommend Altagracia!!

Excellent location enjoyed by eight family members! The pool was large and a favorite with our 7 and 5 yr. old grandchildren. We all loved watching the boats and ferries passing by right under our deck. The beds were very comfortable and we loved the pillows. We are all looking forward to a return visit to this villa and a longer stay next time!

Loved our stay
We really enjoyed our stay at the villa. The sunsets were fantastic, the visits by the iguanas were entertaining, and the kitchen was well stocked. The only suggestion I would have is to put handles / pulls on the drawers, accessing them was a bit tough at times. The lack of AC in the common area is disappointing but not a deal breaker- AC worked excellent in the bedrooms. We would definitely come back.

We enjoyed our stay at Altagracia. The home was very clean when we checked in and had everything we needed! Love. all the decks and pool area we spent many nights grilling and playing games. Nakira was. our greeter and she was prompt meeting us and was great! We did not have any issues at all while we were there so did not interact. with anyone else.The grocery store is a few minute drive which was so helpful. The location is ideal for beaches and restaurants . IF traveling with children be aware the bedrooms open to the outside was fine for all adults . I would recommend Catered to and Altagracia for your next visit to St John!

On the surface, this villa looks good but when you get there, needs some TLC. The decking is quite worn, the lighting needs updated badly, the bathroom configuration in one bedroom is super bad, the leaking roof in the bedroom was just awful (management company moved us to another villa), walls between bedrooms are paper thin, needs A/C in living area as cross breezes are non existent. Rework entry into bedroom - have to go through laundry to enter. Great room furnishings are very nice but bedrooms need dressers not just closets, pool is in great shape with nice amount of natural shade, views of course awesome.

The Villa is beautiful and the view more spectacular than the photos online. Plenty of space. Quick drive to Cruz bay and shopping which was nice since we were a party of eight (4 teens). I have a few recommendations:1) The home could benefit from some solar shades as the living room/kitchen area is not air conditioned. Since the home is facing west the breeze was minimal and the sun was hot and direct. We asked for an extra fan and Catered To had one dropped off. 2) The dishwasher was broken on arrival. On vacation with 8 people made for a lot of dish washing. Kind of inconvenient. A gift card or credit of some sort would have been appreciated. 3) The upper master bedroom bathrooms were not very private. The walls around the bathroom did not meet the ceiling..a space of 2-3 feet. One of the master baths did not have a door. Only a shower curtain. Again, uncomfortable and not private at all. 4) We had an issue with the sliding doors sticking shut. It was repaired the same day that we called to report it. 5) One of the bedrooms downstairs has an air conditioner that leaked. Creating puddles. The pool area was gorgeous, and the pool was large in terms of Villa pool sizes on St John. The landscaping was amazing as well...beautiful flowers, many birds (including hummingbirds). We’ve been traveling to the island for 21 years and have stayed at a variety of different villas. This home is beautiful but lacking in a couple of important ways.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Altagracia. The pictures do not do it justice, and the views are spectacular. The outside decking is huge, the beds are comfortable, and the house is well equipped. The only thing that would make it a lot better is some sort of A/C in the main room. It was comfortable in there until about 10:30am, then it was so hot that you either had to sit outside or retreat to your bedroom (all have A/C). We would typically eat dinner outside because it was so warm in the house. I live in Houston and keep my own house at 77 degrees in summer, and I would estimate that it was about 83 inside. It's still a great house but just be aware of this, that it does get quite warm inside during the summer. Still, would definitely stay again.

This was our first trip to St. John and this house was perfect for our group of 7 (3 couples, 1 single). Loved that all of the rooms were accessed from the outdoors with the one common living area. Tons of deck space! The only thing that could improve the living area is if there was a powder room so we didn't have to go into someone's room upstairs to use the restrooom. Great location to Cruz Bay - easy access to car ferry and grocery stores. So easy to work with Catered To Vacations!

Amazing location and experience
Great location - only 2 minutes drive from the gas station and Starfish market and only 5 minutes drive from the main drag in Cruz Bay. Everything matched the pictures and was even bigger than we imagined! The main indoor living area didn't have AC which we didn't expect, and it got pretty steamy in there. Thankfully, the rooms had AC. Plenty of cooking utensils and the host was very responsive and accommodating!

We had an amazing time staying here. The house is clean, the pool was refreshing, the views were amazing! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, we used the grill a lot! We loved the house had rafts to float on and beach chairs to take to the beach. The patio furniture was so comfy for lounging in the shade. One thing to note, all the rooms are completely separate there's no interior access to each room only outside entry. This it's something to consider when traveling with little kids. Highly recommend the property!

All fairly minor, but would make a huge difference. Could also use some updated appliances. We were told a new fridge was ok the way so that will be a great improvement. The few minor issues we had after checking in were very quickly addressed by the rental company. Would definitely rent through them again.

The location is perfect! Because of the covered deck we could eat on the deck, even in the rain! Very clean.
The only 2 issues which I reported was the roof leak in the 2nd bedroom upstairs and the dampness in the downstairs middle bedroom. The damp rid should always be there! Also you should replace the metal shower rack with a nine rust one.
