My wife and I have been relocating for our summers and Christmas holidays for over ten years now: this is by far the best place we have stayed in. Calicaribe is beautifully situated, designed, and decorated, and it’s extremely comfortable. The villa is located on a hillside in such a way that you have both tree-shaded privacy and expansive views of Pillsbury Sound with its many islands as well as the hillsides of Cruz Bay. Choose to sit with your coffee on the shaded veranda or read by the sun-splashed pool gazing out over the water. The house itself is very nicely designed. The living spaces are centered around the pool and the terrace. The three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms are well situated to provided maximum privacy, and each has it’s unique charms and views. The open plan living room and kitchen are bright, cheerful, and comfortably well-furnished. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare basic meals. The villa is about a minute from either the Starfish Market or the Dolphin Market. Both have anything you could want or need in terms of snacks and groceries, and an amazing collection of alcohol and wines at any price point. Walking into town is a fairly easy ten-minute stroll. The walk back is a challenge when you hit the final hills headed up to the villa. We’re both runners and we found the town forbidding because of the steep hills and lack of shoulder space on the roads. However, we were surprised by how much we enjoyed the pool. We used it every day.

Superb location overlooking the sound and quite possibly the best view on the island. Shannon the property manager met us in town immediately after arriving and was the consummate host - if we ever needed anything during our stay, she immediately responded. The property was gorgeous and fit the needs of my family perfectly over the Thanksgiving holiday - the owners were happy to give us recommendations for restaurants and on provisioning alike. The home was in an ideal location for not only the stunning views, but was in close proximity to the supermarket, beaches and other prime locations in Cruz Bay. A must stay when vacationing to St. John.

This was the best VRBO experience I think we've had. The house was beyond beautiful. SPOTLESS! Someone was there the minute we arrived, followed us up to the house, & showed us around, explained things, etc. Then promptly left us in paradise. We were there for a celebration of life, the rest of our party was staying right around the corner in two different houses. Location was perfect. Town is not far, just a quick zip down the hill. The market is also conveniently located very close by. Both our friend staying with us & us had a jeep. Both fit perfectly in the driveway. My husband & I stayed in the main house, very large bathroom, walk-in shower & lots of closet/drawer space. Our guests stayed in the two casitas that are on property just across the pool from the main house. Also very nicely done, spotless, king beds, ensuite bathrooms & one even has a kitchenette. Both very private, comfortable, clean & quiet. Each has their own outdoor patio space as well. The pool was so refreshing. It was very hot & to get in the pool after a day at the beach or on the boats was the best. Lots of pool towels & noodles were available as well as beach chairs to take to the beach. There is also an outdoor shower by the pool which was very refreshing as well, & was nice to get the sand off. I can't say enough about this house. It's perfect for a family, for 3 couples, or for a friends trip. It is a quiet area, so I wouldn't say its the best choice for a loud group, but we had a great time.

We spent a week there with 2 teenage girls. They loved having their own space from us. The home is perfect. The pictures of very accurate. The location is great. It is secluded but not too far to go into Cruz Bay to get supplies. It was very quiet and we felt very safe. This was the best stocked home we have every stayed in. We supplies that we did not need because they had them. The manager was excellent and answered all of our questions. We are already trying to plan a way to come back and stay there just next time without the kids. It is a perfect home for a couples get away.

This was our favorite home so far on St. John. Not too far from town, but up in the hills with a beautiful view. We had a family group switch out mid stay with some friends and they even came and cleaned for us! The property manager was easy to work with as we had some quesitons while we were there. The house is beautiful, I highly recommend. It was well equiped and beautifully decorated.
