About this apartment rental

Everything you need for a fabulous St. John vacation without the high price tag! One of the best values on island.

We do our best to ensure you love your time here as much as we did when Kachi Ra was our home, and we pride ourselves on open and honest communication with guests. Questions? Just ask!

Air conditioned bedroom is the perfect place to get a good night's sleep at the end of your days exploring this beautiful island. Cozy, casual with rich mahogany surroundings in a quiet, safe, residential neighborhood full of mature growth trees, new furniture, flat screen tv, wireless internet, and dedicated Netflix account. Screen doors and windows along with living room and dining area ceiling fans invite cooling breezes.

Kachi Ra (Kachee'-rah) is just 10 steps away from a great pool and gas grill on an expansive sun deck with loungers and views of Little St. James and Pillsbury Sound. The condo offers direct access to the Caneel Hill trail, a beautifully picturesque hiking trail that can take you to Cruz Bay or north shore beaches. (Note: this is definitely a hike and should not be seen as a reason to forego renting a car!)

Cooler, beach towels, and beach chairs are provided. Guests sometimes leave behind other beach amenities (snorkel gear, umbrella/tent, toys, etc.) but we do not maintain or guarantee these items.

Located only one mile from the ferry dock, Kachi Ra is a very short ride to Cruz Bay by car. Rental car is strongly recommended.

This is a very quiet, serene place. We are on-island owners who work hard to ensure that our guests truly enjoy their time here.

PLLEASE NOTE:

There is an additional guest fee for parties larger than two of $15 per additional guest per night and a $120 cleaning fee. Rates include 12.5 percent Virgin Islands hotel tax. By submission of payment to book your reservation you agree to the stipulations in our contract, which will be shared with guests upon request.

A rental car is strongly recommended. This property is not walkable to Cruz Bay, and taxis are not always available when you're ready to go!

The bedroom is air conditioned, while the rest of the condo is cooled by Mother Nature's breezes which flow through the screened-in windows and doors.

This condo is located in a residential complex, not a resort complex.

St. John is a small island, and small island living has its "quirks." Sometimes the power goes out, and when the power goes out, so does the Wi-Fi, water, etc. Power outages are generally infrequent and brief, not something to stress over, and a great excuse to relax by the pool or head to the beach! Because this is out of my control, I cannot guarantee uninterrupted utility service.

My family of 5 (kids ages 14, 16, 18) loved this house. It was a short drive away from Cruz Bay. It was everything that was advertised to be. We easily slept 5 between the pullout couch, cot and love seat (my kids don't like to sleep together, but 2 easily could've fit on the pullout couch). We loved having our own kitchen since food is so expensive on the island. The back porch is also a great place to sit in the morning or at night! The pool is closer than expected. It might be a total of 10 steps away from the back porch. If you are coming from the mainland and used to normal driving, words can express how crazy the driving is to get here. Everything from driving on the left side to the narrow roads to the steep switchbacks. I love driving and thoroughly enjoyed all of this, but man is it crazy. I would 100% stay here again.

We had the pleasure of staying in this condo for three weeks. Everything about the process was seamless. We were met at the car rental office by the greeter and oriented to the condo. The condo is stocked with anything you may need, from kitchen supplies to coolers for the beach. We could not have asked for more. Andrea, the owner, is very responsive when you have questions. The location is very close to Cruz Bay and an easy drive in for dinner in the evening, or Happy Hours in the afternoon. I wish we were still at Kachi Rai but we will have to wait until next year. This may have been our favorite trip yet.

Having Joanna take us to the condo and give us advice was SO HELPFUL!! Great communication, the condo was clean, the girls thought the pull out couch was super comfortable and good breeze going through the place! THANK YOU for a memorable experience!

What a beautiful VRBO! The location couldn’t be beat. Very close to Cruz Bay. The host, Andrea, was very responsive and accommodating. We stayed with 2 adults and a baby and the size was perfect. Very clean and well maintained and the view from the pool (steps off the deck) was amazing!

We enjoyed our 3 days at St John in this unit. It suited our needs, we enjoyed the location to the pool(just a few steps to a beautiful view)! The parking was fine,a learning curve for the first day dealing with the steep hills, but that is all of St John, not exclusive to this location. The condo had everything we needed, including great beach chairs that we used each day. The ac unit in the master is a nice touch to get a cool room while sleeping. The fans in the living room were helpful to keep the air flowing for our daughter sleeping on the pullout sofa bed. Plenty of kitchen tools, we cooked most of our meals. Overall we had a great experience!

We loved staying here! It was clean and comfortable. My daughter enjoyed reading their kids books and doing the puzzle. The bed was comfortable and they have plenty of pillows which we appreciate. Its a quiet little gem and we hope to return one day!

We would love to stay here in the future! It was easy to get taxis from Cruz Bay, and also from where the driveway meets centerline road. Our flight was delayed and we were unable to get our rental car before the last car ferry, but our greeter Joanna picked us up and gave us a thorough rundown. The next morning the safe malfunctioned and our wallets were locked in there. Andrea was very prompt in trouble shooting and came out to unlock it for us and reset it. We were very appreciative of her responsiveness. I wouldn’t recommend using the safe, but I wouldn’t take a star away because the place was clean, beautiful, and felt like a very safe area. The pool was amazing and the view incredible. Loved every minute!
