We had an amazing stay! Host was great and even took time out of her day to help surprise our kids for Easter! Place was exactly as advertised and we will definitely go back to stay again!

List:No view, no washer nor dryer very humid, driveway unusable -pictures are inaccurate. Beach and bath towels are very musky - bring your own. Towels dingy color. No dishwasher either. There are nice things but not enough to come again. I do not like pellet grill. I’m used to and partial to gas. This is a place for someone to live in not a vacation rental. Had to ask for items….better to stay at Cinnamon Bay than pay high fee here.

We really enjoyed the home. It has all the modern things you might like to make it easy when you come home from the beach. The neighborhood is a bit run down but the house is amazing!

Everything went very smoothly. The on island contact met us at our jeep rental office and escorted us to the property. She was friendly and showed us everything we needed to know before leaving. Property was beautiful, well appointed, and well maintained. We were very comfortable there and would not hesitate to stay again!

Everything you need is at this beautiful home with a beautiful view! The details and furnishings of this home makes for a cozy, comfortable stay and you will find it hard to leave! Shelli was so nice to deal with to help with anything we needed. The drive around St John is difficult and it isn’t easy to get to the home but it’s not unusual for the island in general. The view from the porch is beautiful so it’s worth the upward trek to the top. Just make sure you rent a Jeep or SUV to help with the bumpy roads. Overall wonderful stay!!

We had a marvelous time at our stay at the banana tree Villa! They had everything you could possibly need for a beach vacation! The view is fantastic from upon the Mountain top. You are only 15 minutes from Cruz Bay downtown and if you rent a car you can get to all the beaches within 30 minutes. Truly perfect! We’ll be back!!!!

Summed up in 2 words... No Worries!
From beginning to end everything was taken care of every question was answered. We were picked up at Cruz Bay ferry landing & swept away to our rental jeep & then off to Banana Tree. Great location secluded but yet close to downtown Cruz Bay. Would highly recommend Banana Tree Villa
Thanks for sharing your beautiful villa with us Shelli!

Successful mother/daughter trip
The home and property are well kept and offer everything needed for a day at the beach, including beach chairs, beach towels, noodles and cooler. The home is charming and ( I assume) updated. We only rented the upstairs so I can only speak about the main floor, but imagine the lower floor is just nice and as accurate as the pictures. I would definitely recommend Banana Tree Villa to family & friends.

Perfect home for having fun and comfort!
This was my first time visiting the USVI and I am so glad we stayed at Shelli's place! It had everything we needed for cooking and cleaning. The property manager was incredibly understanding and nice about our change in arrival time as our flight was changed and we missed the ferry we planned to catch. The home and its views are incredible. We were so sad we had to go home!

Amazing stay
We had a wonderful stay in this amazing villa. The view was incredible, the house is very beautiful and functional, the kitchen is big and breakfasts on the porch are one of our best memories! We would love to come back here one day.

Hidden Retreat
We loved the house. Its even better than what the photos show. It's a little off the beaten path but only about 10 minutes from Cruz Bay. It beautifully decorated and the kitchen is amazingly well stocked. We made the mistake of trying to follow the gps instead of the directions given to us. Our mistake.
My only suggestion would be to add some weather stripping on doors that don't quite meet, and to add some type of fans on the deck.
We would highly recommend this property and can't wait to come back.

Beautiful View - Great Accomodations
We could not have dreamed of any place more perfect than Banana Tree Villa to celebrate my husband's birthday. We had a party of 8 and were very comfortable with ample space. The owners did not miss a single detail! The villa came equipped with everything we could have ever needed and the furnishings and decor were superb....perfect for an island adventure.

Beautiful house and property on St John
This house is well maintained and nicely furnished. The couches and beds were comfortable. We enjoyed using the well stocked kitchens and the grill. The upper deck has 2 hammocks with a lovely view of Cruz bay harbor and we saw quite a few fabulous sunsets. Beach chairs and a shade tent were provided for use as well as a jeep! Plenty of hot water . Ac available in all the rooms with ceiling fans for comfort. Kelly, the property manager, was very helpful and attentive. During your stay I recommend using St. John Market for groceries. Take a day to see the sea turtles at Maho Bay too. I would definitely return to this house.
