We had a perfect week at The Other World. The space is gorgeous and the views are even better. We LOVED the open air living space and spent much more time there chillaxing than we would have thought we would - - it literally competed for beach time in our minds. Everyone had their own private space, but we could also spend time together as a family. And the location on the island cannot be beat: lovely neighborhood, close to town, easy access to beaches and Coral Bay. The hosts were so friendly and professional. They met all our needs, putting us in touch with a no-hassle car rental option in St Thomas, meeting us at the car ferry, arranging for provisioning the villa so that we did not need to worry about a thing after a long travel day. Next time we hope to also spend a day on one of their sailboat charters exploring the islands by water. Can't wait for our next trip to St John and The Other World!!

Quick and easy.

Close enough to town for convenience of grocery stores, beach access, ferry and car rental but far enough away to feel extremely private and secluded. Kelly met us at the ferry dock to show us to the house and give us tour to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The open air living room and under roof pool made this home unique and airy. Our beds, bedding and pillows were super comfortable and we truly enjoyed the deck overlooking Great Cruz Bay. Kelly was available to us to answer questions, help with arranging a beautiful boat for a day out on the water & anything else we needed. We had a truly magical vacation staying at The Other World Villa and will absolutely be back soon.

Absolutely beautiful home with spectacular views of Cruz Bay. Loved the open-concept of the living/dining/kitchen area. Our son enjoyed the covered pool after long days in the sun, we enjoyed the serene setting and lovely view from the deck. Overall a wonderful place to stay-even though we had to leave a day early due to tropical storms 😭 10/10 recommend for couples or families!

The pictures dont do this home justice, it was "from another world". It is everything from the description and more. Chris was amazing, he met us up at the ferry to guide us to the home. Gave us a detailed tour of the home so we felt really comfortable throughout our stay. We never really needed anything while we were there, but he was readily available to respond to any messages. We would absolutely recommend this place and we would love to stay here again.

Overall our experience was great! Love the location, short driving distance to Cruz Bay, beautiful views and prompt response from the rental company when needed. The living areas of the home, including the kitchen, are open air which took a little bit getting used to. The bedrooms were nice and air conditioned. This experience was a nice addition to our many family memories spent on St. John!

We had a great time during our first, but not last, trip to the island. The house has stunning views, and mornings and evenings were so peaceful (we were out enjoying the island during the day). The cool water of the pool was perfect after a hot day, and the open-air format of the house meant we got to enjoy some of the nature of the island too. We made some hermit crab friends on the deck, and very cheerful birds were our alarm clock every morning. The location is great - just far enough from town, but not far from a main road - so getting around the island was simple. Chris, the Property Manager, was a great help and guide throughout our trip. He arranged our boat rentals and even captained for us one day. If you have young kids, ask about the mermaid experience with Katie. You'll get some great pics!

We had a fabulous week on St. John!! The pictures for this villa don't do it justice. The villa and the views of Great Cruz Bay were spectacular. The property manager, Chris, was extremely helpful even stopping by on a Sunday when we couldn't figure out the tv remote to watch the soccer finals. Additionally, Chris set up a fun charter boat trip with Captain Nate. The week couldn't have been any better and we look forward to returning in the future!

Goodness

Pretty and perfect! Nice to have towels provided.

Excellent property - photos do not do it justice. Great views, the indoor/outdoor concept is fantastic. Very secluded property but close to everything. We come yearly and would absolutely plan on staying at the property again.

The location to Cruz Bay and all its restaurants and shops is very convenient. The neighborhood is very walkable. You have a great view including St Thomas and beyond. The house is Caribbean living at its best..totally open to the outside, swimming pool in your main living space...just plain comfortable and awesome.

We were a group of four friends in our 30s visiting USVI for the NYE holiday and stayed at this villa for a week. The home is exactly as described in terms of spaces and facilities. We enjoyed our time but did have several issues. What we loved:The view is amazingComfortable beds and linensBoard gamesStained glass in master bedroom was beautiful as light went inHaving access to a cooler and beach chairsWasher and dryer and detergent were super helpful.Communication with Chris the house manager was quick and easy.Due to the many issues noted below, we received two $100 gift cards towards a couple of the restaurants the owners of the villa also own (Maho Crossroads and Luvango Restaurant) which was a nice gesture (Chris even made the reservation for us).What could be improved:Wifi issues (it was eventually fixed but took several days)Toilets - toilet in one of the bedrooms had an active leak when we arrived and should’ve been spotted before arrival.Check in walk thru: ask to be shown all the bedrooms and bathrooms when you check in so you understand the quirks of using the appliances (dishwasher had issues at first).Bunkroom shower: no hot water the first day, but got fixed.Pre-check in cleaning: make sure spaces are cleaned thoroughly as we found fresh and dried rodent feces on one of the dressers. There were also well established spiderwebs all around (in between the chairs, in the kitchen, bathrooms.)Blinds in upstairs bedrooms: the two main rooms have no blinds or curtains so if you’re trying to sleep in it’s hard with the light beaming in.Small things: at this price point (about 900-1,000 per night) we would recommend having microwave safe plates, paper towels, a bar set, more bath towels, and a few more pans.Advice: bring bug spray as the living room is open air (very breezy but bugs can be an issue without bug spray). Rent a 4x4 because access is definitely steep all over St John. It’s a beautiful home and with a few updates will be a 5 star stay!

Property manager was on top of everything! The decor is so unique and inviting. One of the best places we’ve stayed on St. John.
