Been on several properties, this one is the best so far. The pool is on sunlit mode from 1000 to sunset. The two roosters start crowing at 0608, stood on the portico at 0600 and started challenging them, loved it!! The appointment of the furniture and the artwork displayed shows class and excellent style. For a couple get away, this is the place

We were two couples, long time friends from high school on this wonderful trip to St. John. We did our research and opted for this villa due to it’s location. It did not disappoint. The house is approximately 8-10 minutes to Cruz Bay to visit the wonderful restaurants. Maho Beach, Cinnamon Bay and Trunk Bay are all within a short drive. A Jeep rental is a must in St. John due to the steep inclines and switchback turns. We enjoyed the deck and pool on a daily basis and made dinner at home in the spacious kitchen a couple of nights. The kitchen has all the amenities needed. It is located in a very quiet location. The air conditioning in the bedrooms were superb for a good nights sleep! We left the AC on with the bedroom doors open while at the beaches during the day and the house was very comfortable when returning. We will stay here again on our next visit!

The house was fantastic! The house and kitchen were well furnished and equipped. The pool was the perfect size and was surprisingly very cool and deep. The bedroom air-conditioning was excellent. The bathrooms were also great. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. I would highly recommend a stay!

This property is perfect for 2 couples! Each couple had their private space on either side of the common areas. The house is as pictured and very well equipped. It was great to come back after a day exploring land and sea and hop in the pool with a beverage to relax before heading out for dinner. We rented a Jeep and you will definitely want to do the same. The house is not in walking distance to anything and the road is pretty rough. We were able to catch some great sunsets from the pool and watch Chocolate Bay wake up in the mornings. Would definitely stay at this property again if travelling with another couple. Thank you for a great vacation!

We just returned from 12 days at Samba Azule. It was perfect. Spacious, clean and stocked with everything you could need. The villa is only a short drive to Cruz Bay yet away from the crowds. The AC in the bedrooms was perfect and we didn’t miss it in the living area. There is a nice breeze that flowed through. Check in and out was very easy.

My wife and I have been coming to St. John for over 25 years and this was our favorite house yet! The property managers, Beth and JP, were both very nice and accommodating. The house is very clean and the kitchen is very well appointed and organized... we cooked dinner in every night and loved it. The bedrooms were great and we loved the shower too. Every evening we sat by the pool and enjoyed a different and gorgeous sunset. My only suggested improvement would be to put a hand rail coming out of the pool. Other than that, we cant wait to come back.

We’ve been to the island numerous times over the last 9 years. This was the first time staying at Samba Azul & it was perfect! Location was close to town so we could drive in the dinner, live music. Home was clean, very comfortable & had all of the essentials & more. We had provisions set up for delivery before we got there & it was so worth it! After a long day of travel, we had food & drinks waiting for us & we got into the pool immediately. Kitchen was great & we did cook in quite a bit because it just felt like home. Will definitely be booking again for our next visit.

I think an investment in AC in the main living area would be a help other wise we liked the villa.

This was an awesome place to book for our honeymoon. It was close to Cruz Bay but far enough away from the “city” that we felt isolated. I loved the views and the accommodations. The property management team was awesome and the home was well-kept.

We've stayed in the area before, and it truly is the best. It's about 5 mins from Cruz Bay, where we spent almost every day/night there. The house was perfect and had all the amenities we needed. The management company was great to work with and super quick to get back to us with questions we had. Our favorite part was sitting outside at the covered table, enjoying the sunrise and sunset.

Fabulous house with views and pool. Outdoor eating area was awesome. Taxis can’t make it to the house though which required a 15 minute walk for pick up.

This was our first time to St John and definitely won't be our last. Samba Azul was the perfect house for our island vacation. It had all the amenities one could need while on vacation, both inside and out. Including all the beach gear, ( coolers, ice packs, chairs, umbrellas, towels Etc.. ) which made our daily beach outings and hikes that much easier not having to worry about buying or renting all of those things. The pool was an added bonus and a nice way to unwind after long days in the sun. The road to the house took a bit of getting used to, though not as rough as some other roads on the island. Get a good vehicle and go slow and all will be fine. Location is great, just 10 minutes from town and minutes from 1 of 3 markets. The neighborhood felt safe and JP from Miller properties was a great guy! You can't go wrong visiting St John or with your stay at Samba Azul!
We can't wait to return!

The road to the property is very bad. The Home Owners association is improving the road by paving sections of it. The road work cause us to get a flat tire. We were stuck with paying $275 for a new tire.

Perfect Getaway
This place is a gem! We had 4 adults and were very comfortable in the space. The pool was awesome after a long day of hiking to the park. Reservation process was easy and I was grateful to the property manager for assisting us to get to the property. I highly recommend a Jeep, not just for the property but for getting around St. John in general. We loved the location as it was close to Cruz bay but located in a quiet area. Absolutely gorgeous!!

Once again A+++ stay!
This was our second trip to Samba Azul and again it exceeded all expectations. It has everything you need in a house on St. John. Beach chairs, towels, and hair dryers are all things (and more) that you don't even have to worry about bringing! House is a split floor plan with each side having a master suite with an en suite bath. Powder room also. Great split unit ACs in each room. The view and the pool are incredible and were so nice to come home to after big days exploring and snorkeling. Checking in couldn't have been easier; same for check out. Love love love this house and the next time on St. John I'll definitely be at Samba Azul!

Samba azul lived up to our expectations
The property was as good as the listing showed. JP was always available for questions and suggestion and very helpful when we arrived. Close enough to really enjoy Cruz Bay but very secluded.

Perfect Vacation at Samba Azul
Upon our arrival at Samba Azul, we immediately took pictures of every room, the deck, pool and amazing views to send back to our families and friends—it is exactly how it is described in VRBO!!! James, the property manager, answered all questions we had prior to arrival. And Eric, a member of the team, was in communication with us when we got off the ferry and we followed him to the home in our rented Jeep. Wonderful home to return to after a day at the beach and take a refreshing dip in the pool. It is a comfortable home for two couples. We highly recommend this home to spend your vacation in St. John.

It didn’t have a single thing wrong with it
It was perfect for 2 couples. We liked the adventure of the drive to it, the view was great and the sunsets were fabulous. It was clean and the beds and linens were comfortable and soft. It was the most perfect Villa 😀.

Wow; a beautiful villa!
My wife and I stayed 10 nights at Samba Azul and really loved it. The property is VERY nice. Plenty of space and privacy. The covered portion of patio was great to have along with the patios in the sun. Kitchen was well equipped.
James was great to work with. The only problem we had is the microwave stopped working. James had one of his maintenance people there the next day and a new micro was installed the following day.
Although we have had a couple of day trips to St. John previously, this was our first stay there. The beach / water activities are the biggest draw for us including snorkeling and sailing. I don't know where to find more beautiful beaches than St. John (and we've looked!).
You will definitely want to rent a Jeep Wrangler (or similar). Roads on St. John are generally narrow, steep, and rough.

Amazing home!
Great house! Perfect for two couples as both master suites are beautiful. Great kitchen with lots of room. Views of Chocolate Hole and Cruz Bay. Easy drive to town but far enough away that it’s quiet at night. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful!
This is a wonderful home in a convenient and beautiful location. The house is well equipped with everything you’ll need: floats, towels, beach chairs, etc. and a fully stocked kitchen. It has 2 identical bedrooms with on-suite bathrooms and a 1/2 bath. The home is perfect for two couples, or a family with older children. I say older children because the veranda has steep, narrow steps leading to the pool and the pool is deep with no shallow end. The pool is approx. 7 feet deep all around. We will definitely stay here again. Everything from booking to checking out was easy with great communication from the property manager.

Perfect villa
Everything about this villa was great. Perfect condition as shown in the pictures. It was very large for a 2 bedroom. Easy access to Cruz Bay and the VINP.

Loved this villa!
If I said it once I said it a dozen times - I loved this villa! So beautiful, spacious and comfortable. The outdoor patio and pool is so relaxing with a gorgeous view. Well stocked with everything. Easy drive into Cruz Bay and close to Dolphin market. Other reviews comment on the road to get there and yes it’s rugged but that’s St. John!
The property manager met us at the jeep rental to lead us, showed us around the house and was so responsive and kind. I can’t wait to come back. It was perfect for our family of four.

Great Property - Exactly As Pictured/Described
Agree with all the other reviewers comments! Great location, close to Cruz Bay, awesome pool, and very clean, great amenities (beach towels, chairs noodles, kitchen stuff, etc.). Just a point of caution if you are booking for more than 4 people, and would have kids sleep in the main living area, there is no A/C in that room and there are no screens on the back doors facing the pool, so that area can get VERY warm and would make sleeping there difficult. Bedrooms only have A/C.
We stayed just the 2 of us so it didn't matter, but didn't realize this until we arrived.
Communication with property mgmt company was superb. Total pros.
We would certainly look to book again when traveling back to STJ.

We LOVED our stay at this villa! The views are amazing. Snorkeling in the bay by the house we saw 5 turtles and rays. The outdoor grill is awesome for cooking at home. Easy access to downtown restaurants. Can't wait to go back!

Excellent option in St. John - near Cruz Bay
Very nice house. Great for family of four or for two couples. Two suites with bathrooms and additional 1/2 bath. Great setting on the back deck along with private pool. Sunset views and easy access to Cruz Bay or to head to the beaches. Very private setting - we never encountered anyone other than driving to/from. Well equipped with everything you need, including beach chairs! Definitely recommend.
