This home was perfect for the four of us. The house was very clean and comfortable...especially the beds! The house was also very well provisioned. The outdoor living are was great - both the deck and the pool area, and of course the views were spectacular! The rental agency was very courteous and responsive. I highly recommend this place!

The house, view and pool make this a perfect place for family or couple. The pool is the nicest one we have had at any of our villa stays. It was warm and sunny each day. The house has just what you need to make things comfortable and homey. It is a good location - high above the hills but not hard to get to.

The only problems we had was with the gate we got no response from the emergency number. Contacted the greater and by 4 th day it was fixed . Other than that it was perfect !! None of us wanted to leave the beautiful Villa and the breath taking scenery. The beaches even more beautiful than my last visit 12 years ago. The snorkeling was amazing saw so many sea Turtles and fish .Thanks so much for the wonderful memories!

The villa was exceptionally well maintained and clean. It was equipped with everything we needed. All the bedrooms are larger than average. Everything is even nicer than the pictures. The driveway parking is flat and spacious. Walkway to villa has only a few steps. We rarely spend time at the pool but this pool was so pretty and inviting we spent two afternoons there. The patio is large with a great view and is wonderful for morning coffee and happy hours. We loved this villa and hope to be back.

Our family had a wonderful week at Ballena Blue. It was the perfect size for the five of us (our family of four plus grandmom). The house was clean and well maintained. The first day we noticed that the kitchen disposal did not work and that the kitchen sink drained slowly. Within a couple of hours maintenance arrived and solved the problems. The house was better than the pictures. The views were amazing. The kitchen was well stocked with quality utensils, pots, pans, etc. The landscaping was beautiful.While there my two teenage sons did there open water checkout dives with Low Key Watersports. They ran a great dive operation. Our favorite restaurants were La Tapa and Windmill Bar (we ate there twice). Also, I highly recommend a rum tasting at Bajo el Sol.I would absolutely recommend Ballena Blue. I hope to return soon.

Ballena Blue is a beautiful, comfortable, and well-appointed villa with a magnificent view of Rendezvous Bay. The pool and outdoor areas are perfect, as are the interiors. We felt right at home and enjoyed every moment of our stay!

Amazing view! Great location. 5 minutes from downtown to all shopping & restaurants. My husband & I here with 3 teens, a 10 year old. The bottom floor was a perfect spot for the teens. My only concern was part of the railing on the balcony of bottom floor was missing & a board had been placed there. I assume this was temporary & they were in the middle of repairs. Other than that small repair everything was amazing. Would definitely stay here again!

Ballena Blue is a very convenient location to get to all the beaches in the national park. Pool is excellent to relax in after a day at the beach and the friendly iguanas were fun to have around. Dolphin market is convenient on the way home from the beach as is Cruz Bay.

We had a great stay at Ballena Blue. Spotlessly clean, strong AC and WiFi, comfortable beds, lots of towels, and everything you could need to cook a gourmet meal in the kitchen including sharp knives. Location was good for getting into town. The turn onto the street was a little harrowing the first couple of times but then we got used to it. Driveway was easy to navigate and had ample turn around space. The views were spectacular and the pool was well maintained with great outdoor furniture and big grill that had plenty of propane.
The owners/catered to left us some much appreciated provisions. I would highly recommend the home for adult groups or families with older children.

The villa was in the perfect location. The view from the house and pool deck was incredible. It was clean and well laid out. The kitchen had everything we needed. The towels were so plush. It was close enough to Cruz Bay and close to the Windmill where we watched a few sunsets.

We stayed at Ballena Blue for a week in July. It was a beautiful home, immaculately clean, with every single thing you might need. The home is beautifully furnished, the beds are very comfy, the kitchen is well stocked with every necessary item. The pool is just beautfiul and overlooks the bay. There are coolers, plenty of beach towels and 's located about a 7 minute drive to Cruz Bay, so is far enough away that it's wonderfully quiet at night. The management company is excellent. They met us in town, escourted us up to the home and gave us a detailed tour, explaining how everything works. I would not hesitate to stay again, and I highly recomend anyone who is considering staying at Ballena Blue to book it and stay as long as you can ! It's perfect.

This house was great for my Wife and I. The soaking pool was a great place to hang out after a day of exploring the island. The Master suite is a great place to watch movies at the end of a long day. The kitchen is well stocked with enough gadgets to cook almost anything. A short drive into Cruz Bay and close to the Windmill. This property is very well taken care of. Being St. John newbies, we appreciated all of the services provided by the rental company. We're excited to return.

The house was very nice with everything included that you would want during your stay. The house was very clean and had very good beds etc. The pool was extra nice. It could be a bit noisy during the week as there was a road right below the house but the noise was only during daytime. Overall a very good experience.
