Villa was so convenient to Cruz Bay shopping, restaurants, and beaches! One suggestion would be portable cooling/ window units in bedrooms. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!

If you love heat and humidity then this place is for you. I had expressed my concerns about not having air-conditioning and was rest assured it would be very cool because we were up on a hill. Well not the case. It was so unbearably hot we hardly ever stayed at the house. We couldn't even have dinner there because it was so stifling hot. There was no breeze that they assured me would keep the place cool and we had no worries. ALSO THEY HAD LEFT A VASE OF FRESH FLOWERS FOR US WHEN WE ARRIVED AND BY THE END OF THE WEEK IT HAD MOSQUITO LARVAE SWIMMING IN IT!!!! that is how humid and hot it was. The house was nice but we couldnt even enjoy it because of it being so hot and humid in it. They did leave us nice snacks upon arrival and had some good beach equipment to use so that was nice. It is on a long uphill driveway so be careful. The location was also nice because it was central to alot of activities. I will be beck to St. John but never back to this house. I feel extremely disappointed that my vacation was dampered by being mis-lead about how nice this house would be with lack of AC. And i really find it hard to believe we were the only people to have a major concern with this. Getting dressed in front of a fan and sleeping with two fans on you is no fun at all.

Guavaberry Hill is perfect! This was our first visit to St. John and we are already making plans for our next trip. Our evenings were spent walking down the (steep) driveway to Mongoose Junction for beers at St. John Brewing & takeout to eat on our deck overlooking beautiful Cruz Bay and enjoying the amazing sunset. The beds were very welcoming after long days of exploring the nearby beaches, snorkeling with the sea turtles, and hiking the many trails. I especially enjoyed waking up to the birds chirping each morning. Jackie was very easy to communicate with throughout our stay from booking to check out. Highly recommend the grouper burrito from Margarita Phil's and the spicy mahi wrap from Banana Deck! Definitely make time to grab a "World Famous Painkiller" from Coco Jim's and check out the view from the deck of the Windmill Bar.

I would definitely stay here again

My wife, 17 yr old daughter & I had a fantastic spring break at Guavaberry Hill. We loved the easy access to both the beautiful St. John beaches & Cruz Bay's relaxed island vibe nightlife. The property was just as pictured with the lone exception being that the sunset views far exceeded anything in the photos! We loved hiking, snorkeling & basking on the beach then returning for a quick shower & drinks to wind down the day. We alternating enjoying sunsets over home grilled meals on the deck, and from beach front restaurants in Cruz Bay. Some key points for other guests: 1. Ideal location! The house feels secluded but sits just above town & can be quickly walked, though the return is steep. We typically drove down & parked free at Mongoose Junction shopping/dining center or near the National Park visitors center. Harbor front bars & restaurants are no more than an easy 5 min walk. 2. Cruz Bay has an abundance of options for shopping, drinking & dining. There are many choices just a couple hundred yards from the house in the stylish Mongoose Junction development, as well as along the nearby harbor waterfront. 3. Staying on St John allowed us to enjoy the world famous north shore beaches, but also explore the national park, historical spots & remote beaches. 4. The layout was great with the second bedroom being across the deck from the main house, providing appreciated privacy for our daughter & us! 5. Host communication, check in/out was great! 6. Would absolutely rent again!!

We've stayed at this property several times and it always is the perfect stay. Sunsets on thedeck are memorable. The bedrooms afford plenty of privacy. We love the Carribean atmosphere of the house.

We had the pleasure of staying at this lovely location for 10 nights in August 2023. The home is secluded, with amazing sunset views, easy access to Mongoose Junction for St. John Scoops (smells amazing when they make their waffle cones), or for great places to eat such as North Shore Deli, Sundog Cafe, Greengos and more as well as places to shop or pick up snorkel gear. Or a short walk to the ferry dock for a meal at High Tide right on the beach and more shopping opportunities. Don’t forget to check out Uncle Joe’s Bbq but go early as they sell out quickly! Jackie was so amazing and helpful to us, it was so nice to have some refreshments waiting for us on our arrival. Everything we could need was at the home and in good condition. We honeymooned on St. John years ago and this was the perfect location to bring our kids with us and explore the island together.

My Mom, sister, and I absolutely loved staying here. The house is peaceful and beautiful with views of the bay, surrounded by foliage. St John is amazing and we enjoyed exploring it, but we also really loved just hanging out at the house. It feels very private while at the same time being conveniently located close to town. We did not have a car for most of the trip and quite enjoyed the walk up and down the hill. It's a hike to be sure. Not having AC was not a problem; we felt the ceiling fans and floor fans did the trick. Booking was super easy and Jackie was a great starting reference point and introduction to the island. We really appreciated staying here. Thank you!
