We had three couples, one with two small children. (It's not really childproofed so some vigilance is required with little ones.) The layout was great for us: separate spaces for each plus a great room and decks large enough for us all to be together. Beautiful views and sea breezes, well appointed, close to Cruz Bay but far enough away to avoid the noise and bustle. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would.

This home is a GEM - the views, the close proximity to town, the space… everything was perfection. I have spent over 10 weeks on St. John through the years and this is my all time favorite house. We will be back!!!

We really enjoyed our stay. They were very quick at getting back with us when we had questions. The house was well stocked in the kitchen with appliances and dishes. All the rooms had plenty of bath towels as well as beach towels. The view was breathtaking! The beds could use some updating, but it wouldn't stop me from staying there again!

Spectacular views, clean house, easy to access town and local beaches. Will definitely stay there again!

We absolutely loved our stay at Water Cliff Villa! It was conveniently located to downtown Cruz Bay and Starfish supermarket. We loved that each room had its own space, the beds were comfortable and all of the rooms had outdoor showers. Sunsets from the porch each night were magical and the stargazing at night was as well. The kitchen was fully stocked and when we arrived a welcome package of food from one of the local delis was waiting in the fridge, such a nice extra touch! We had a private chef come prepare an amazing meal for us and our friends and it was one of the best nights of our trip. It was also convenient to have all of the beach towels, beach chairs and pool noodles accessible for our trip. David was very responsive and helpful too. We hope to come back and visit again soon!

Water Cliff met the vacation needs of our family with ease. Beautiful views of the ocean and island from each of several verandas. The property is well maintained and stocked with beach chairs, coolers, and towels. Everything we needed to enjoy St John beaches. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to enjoy food and our favorite beverages. Check-in was smooth. Our family loved the place and recommend it if you are looking for a pleasant stay in St John.

The property is all is was presented to be and more. Views stunning! From every bedroom, as well as the great and dinning rooms, you’re listening to the rolling waves and looking out at the islands of St. Thomas and Little St. James. Sunsets amazing. Plenty of high quality deck furniture provides seating for all. Well equipped kitchen with modern appliances. Great grill, clean with an extra tank of propane and plenty of tools. The bedrooms all have great outdoor showers and the master also has a bathtub. Lots of closet and storage space for unpacking. Beds and bedding were very comfortable. Plenty of towels. High quality washer and dryer with ample supply of detergent for occasional laundry. Beach chairs and towels provided and in like new condition. We are a family of seven adults that have been visiting St. John for this our 14th year. We totally enjoyed our Stay at “Water Cliff” and already booked for our return next year. Our hosts were very attentive and always available for any questions and responsive to needs. If you’re looking for the perfect villa with a great spaces offering a mix of privacy and socializing “Water Cliff”can’t be beat.

The property is spacious and beautifully set. Four bedrooms provide ample accommodation. The views are spectacular, with what seems and probably is a greater than 180-degree view of the water and nearby islands. The managers of the property are friendly and responded immediately to questions. We had to keep a sharp eye on our toddler, but with 6 adults that was ok, but probably wouldn’t recommend for the youngest “free-range” children. Highly recommended.

Water Cliff is set in an amazing location with beautiful sunsets. We enjoyed that it was close to Cruz Bay and easy to call for a taxi to get into town and just as easy to get home. The pool in the afternoon was perfect after a day at the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy a few meals at home. Being able to grill was also a plus. There were some basic supplies available (e.g. coffee filters, condiments) that were helpful to settle in as well. Highly recommend this property and hope to be back soon.

The house has the equivalent of 5 ensuite apartments and a very large common area/kitchen/dining/family room. All rooms are VERY comfortable. There are multiple spacious decks as well as a great pool. The views from everywhere are some of the best we've ever seen! Tatiana met us at the car rental shop and guided us to the property. She then gave us a tour with lots of useful information. The property manager was very helpful and responded quickly. The owners responded quickly and were very helpful with information about the island. Very close to town but you wouldn't want to walk (very steep hills, curves and no sidewalks). No negatives. This was a family trip with our adult kids and everyone agreed that this is one of the best places we've stayed!!

What a great stay we had in St John. Water cliff was perfect for us. No, it was not perfect, and there were a few minor issues that I am not going to let affect my 5 rating. The location is amazing, and the property managers were very responsive and available for general questions about the island. First time to St John, and by far our favorite island of many. We'll be back!

There was an audible gasp when we pulled into Watercliff. It is spectacular in so many ways. The view alone is worth every penny you will pay to stay here. I agree with other guests who mention that it very much feels like you are staying at your own private resort. Everything from the landscaping to the ample outdoor seating is spot on. As a mother of six I cannot imagine a better place to bring older children. It is close to Cruz Bay and the beaches. I would not recommend this house to families with toddlers or young children due to the separate structures and the pool placement. I am so grateful Julie and David allowed us to stay in their home. I will never forget our stay at Watercliff.

Great stay

Our week started with amazing views of Cruz bay. Plenty of room for our family and absolutely loved the outdoor showers. Owners had everything covered from start to finish. We had a need for nothing. Will definitely recommend to others.

The views are unbeatable and the property well maintained and supplied. The landscaping is spectacular and adds so much. The privacy of the property is wonderful with the sounds of nature the only "noise". Really appreciated the communication from the team which even included an early morning response to a maintenance issue. We were grateful for the opportunity to use this property.

We went to St John to celebrate my birthday. The villa had the best views from any part of the house. Conveniently located close to town.

Superb property. An easy drive to town and having a private pool was great. The villa had everything we needed for in the house, at the pool, and stuff for the beach

We had a great time in St.John and enjoyed the Villa. Would definitely return.

We loved our stay at Watercliff. The views exceeded our expectations! Beautiful mornings and sunsets from the balconies. We enjoyed how close the property was to Cruz Bay and the North Shore beaches. They had everything you needed for the beach, and was a great place to come back to at the end of the day and just relax looking out over the water. Check in was great, lots of communication and we had no concerns that if we needed anything they would get back to us right away. We has a slight issue with the grill, we texted, and they came out right away to fix it. I would definitely recommend this property, and we hope to be back again soon.

We had a wonderful trip and loved staying here! We had plenty of everything we needed. The view is AMAZING! Check in was great and the one issue we had with water was taken care of right away.

Great stay at Water Cliff. Having separate bedroom suites was great. I hope to be back!

Stayed at Water Cliff for a week with our adult children. The views are outstanding! We were a close drive or taxi ride to town and appreciated the privacy when back at the house. The pool was a perfect temperature to cool down in on a hot day. We had everything we needed, felt safe and knew the property manager was a text away if we had any questions. Great that he met us at the car rental place so we could follow him to the house. Would absolutely stay at the house again!!!

The house was great for my family and I. We enjoyed spending time in the pool and sitting on the porch watching the boats cruise by the house. The house not only provided beautiful views, but it also provided us with opportunities to see different wild life. We saw no less than 4-5 iguanas everyday. The separate sleeping quarters provided everyone with ample privacy and after a brief adjustment period the outdoor showers were amazing. We were able to get to most of the beaches within 20 minutes which made it easy to explore them all. We didn’t have to drive far to downtown Cruz Bay which was amazing and made it easy for those last minute trips to the grocery store when you realize you forgot the one item you need. While we don’t have anything negative to say it should be mentioned that the driveway is not for the faint of heart. We highly recommend Watercliff to anyone looking to visit St. John. It was the perfect oasis to escape from our daily routines.

We had an excellent stay at Watercliff. The property was as advertised and the manager communicated efficiently. We enjoyed beach hopping everyday followed by watching sunset with a glass of wine. We wouldn't hesitate to return when we're back on the island.

We have visited the USVI many times and stayed in many properties, and WaterCliff is by far the best! The VIEWS are breathtaking and never ending. You can relax on one of four covered decks or the pool and enjoy views of the Caribbean that stretch beyond the eye's reach. We did visit the world-class beaches St. John has to offer, but spent hours each day enjoying paradise right at WaterCliff! The individual bedrooms provides for space to stretch out and relax in private if you wish, while just steps away from the pool or main living area where you can enjoy time with friends and family. The house is stocked with everything you'll need from the kitchen to the beach chairs! The home was spotless! We were so impressed with the cleanliness of the entire house, inside and outside. Immaculate condition! The home is located in great seclusion and privacy, but still just a five-minute drive to the heart of Cruz Bay. When you're at WaterCliff, you will feel like you are at your own private paradise in the Caribbean. Dave, the property manager, was extremely helpful. It's great to be able to reach out to someone local for recommendations and tips! Dave was great! Can't forget! - The outdoor showers are phenomenal! They turned out to be quite a treat to enjoy the beautiful views of the ocean, surrounded by nature. WaterCliff is where we will return every time to St. John!

I can't say enough. It was perfect in many ways. Close to Cruz Bay, the ocean view was breath taking. One of our best vacations. Highly recommend and we would gladly rent the house again.

Had the best time at this beautiful home! Incredible views and perfect location!

My husband and I took our two adult granddaughters and their fiancee/boyfriends to St. John for a week in March. We had great weather and the house was charming, clean and well stocked and fit all six of us with room to space. Spent each morning on the front porch drinking coffee, solving Wordle puzzles and watching the brief rain shower turn into a glorious rainbow! Spent the afternoons visiting beaches and going snorkeling. Hired a boat and captain for one day of deep sea fishing. Enjoyed dinner or lunch most days at a local restaurant and played Five Crowns card game every evening. Loads of fun and lots of adventures will be fondly remembered by all!

The house is as advertised. The views are spectacular and it works well for a large family or 4 couples. Communication with the owner/manager was very good and any issues on arrival were explained and addressed. Kitchen is well stocked. We will be back!

Stayed for a week with 6 adults. The views from 3 of the 4 bedrooms are absolutely beautiful. Place is clean and well appointed, location is 1 mile from Cruz Bay and taxis are easy to get in and out of town. Loved our stay and look forward to our next trip to St. John. On island host was super friendly and accommodating to our group. Thanks for sharing your amazing place!!!

What a fabulous house for our group of friends (four couples). The home is in a perfect location for exploring the island, getting to the beaches, the grocery store and Cruz Bay. It is well stocked and has wonderful “gathering spaces” for enjoying group meals and social time. The views and sunsets are spectacular. We would highly recommend this property as a special place to enjoy St. John.

This is our 2nd time to WaterCliff & it did not disappoint! Different set of traveling companions and once again the villa fulfilled all our needs. Stunning views, private sleeping quarters, close to VI National Park for tons of hiking and beaching fun.
