We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the beautiful home. Our adult kids enjoyed each be able to have their own bed/bath! The island was wonderful, and it was great to just hang out at the pool as well.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we arrived we found a refrigerator repairman working on the ice maker. He left, unit un-repaired, never to be seen again. The pool was green. The guys shocked it to no avail, the pump had to be replaced which was done by a very conscientious individual Tueaday night (day 2). Back to normal on our third day. The dishwasher leaked the first time we ran it and did not clean well at all. No heated drying cycle, soap pods dissolved erratically. An individual came to the house but could not duplicate the leak. He left the dishwasher out in the floor which made it unusable for our entire stay. A huge, huge negative. This was our third stay at this property. The first two were fine, property was maintained and clean. This stay was just the opposite, all of us did not feel that the cleanliness level was up to standard, with cob webs in the light fixtures and insects in the bath rooms. It neeeds some serious attention.

Living and dining area spacious with lovely views. Porches have great furniture for sitting and dining and enjoying the fabulous views. Pool and verandas around pool are wonderful. Places not only for sunbathing and enjoying the sunset, but dining as well. Each bedroom has its own spacious well equipped bathroom. The staff at Catered Too was so prompt and helpful with anything we needed. Best experience we’ve had staying in St John.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall La Bella Vita is a lovely home in a lovely gated location in good proximity to town. The outside area, pool, grill area, multiple lounging areas are fantastic, the views over Cruz Bay and sunsets are awesome. The bedrooms are well situated for couples or a family with older children since each bedroom is accessed from the outside. Some of the negatives - furniture is on the older side and some of the mattresses are not comfortable at all. Lighting in the bedrooms is very dim, maybe due to electicity cost? but hard to find anything at night in the room! One of the bedrooms definitely smelled like stale smoke - it did not get better during the week we were there. There were plenty beach chairs but a few were broken and most of the shoulder straps were broken. The LR could use a furniture refresh; Kitchen was nice size, icemaker was not making ice very quickly but there were ice trays provided, dishwasher worked well but was older and not secured into the cabinet and would feel like it was tipping over when the bottom rack was full and pulled out. Kitchen has a good assortment of pots, pans, dishes, and equipment but only had 6 coffee mugs. Management company was nice - we left an item in the house and they were able to locate it and bring it to the PO to send out.

The house is bigger than visualized in the pictures. AC throughout the house is a big plus on St. John. Excellent communication with the property management, easy in and out. The ocean view is outstanding day and night. I highly recommend La Bella Vita.

So much room for everyone to sleep privately and huge kitchen kitchen and living area. Outside area is just as beautiful as inside. Could not ask for more.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I loved the view and the outdoor space. Plenty of room to spread out outdoors. The ice maker did not work. We constantly had to make ice in the trays or buy bags of ice. We did notify management of this. Why put trays in the freezer unless this is an ongoing issue? The ac unit in the one bedroom upstairs was very noisy. Did not notify management because this must also be an ongoing issue as I saw someone write about it in the book the owners leave to write in about their stay. I did notify management about the cleanliness of the floors as the bottom of our feet were very dirty the first night we were there. Nothing was done. The dishwasher had to be secured into its place because it was difficult to open the door. Another ongoing problem because the side of the oven is very scratched from all the opening and ’s a tight fit. Catered Too was responsive to our needs regarding items that could be fixed on the spot except for the cleanliness of the floor. My family and I have been coming to St. John for many many years and do understand the issues with maintaining a large home like this. Even though we loved the view and outdoor space I would not rent this villa again. I think it’s about time that the furniture (couch in great room is not comfortable) gets upgraded along with a new kitchen and appliances.
