Great place, really enjoyed our stay

Our stay was simply amazing. We were quite pleasantly surprised to find that we were only 15 steps away from the beach. The house was clean and well maintained. It accommodated three adult couples with no problems at all. Great experience.

Great week. STJ busiest we’ve ever seen it but Villa made up for any issues with island being crazy busy.

Beautiful villa situated on a rocky beach. There's good swimming in the cove but the snorkeling was mediocre and fishing unproductive. There are kayaks on the beach but belong to neighbors and are off limits. We brought our own snorkeling and fishing equipment. The wifi quit working midway through the week and the rental team was responsive in restoring. We had to have the rental company folks fix the AC in the master bedroom and the TV in the main house. Again, they were very responsive. Be aware that the listed rental rate is a bit of a bait and switch. The listed rate is for two people. Any additional person is (if I recall) extra $50/day. So with my two kids this was an extra $700 for the week. I inquired and was told its was because extra people might require extra water which they sometimes have to ship in. This explanation was illogical since water is collected in cisterns. Also, there's an extra contract that we had to sign after we finished payment that stated we could be kicked out if we had more guests than we paid for. Then, after the week was over, the rental company then emailed me and said that it was reported we had more than two other guests and told me that I needed to pay an extra fee. For some reason the rental company thought we had toddlers and then when they saw my very large 17 year old son, they thought we were sneaking in other guests. All these shenanigans left a bad taste. The house and pool and porches were beautiful, the kitchen is well equip. The location is close to town for groceries. The mosquitos were an issue for my wife. We chose this villa because we thought staying on a beach would be fun - and it was neat to swim around in the cove, but I think next time we'll choose a villa with a higher elevation to get a more expansive view and should have fewer mosquitos.

The view and loacation were amazing. Take this as a positive or negative but there is no cell service at the property and the wifi at the house is very slow. We really enjoyed the property and would stay there again.

My family of 6 had an incredible week staying in St John at this fabulous property. We have talking about making plans to go back ever since.

We had the best of time and the location has to be the best on the island....The location alone is well worth renting this villa. The main house is roomy and well equipped. We had an easy trip, from being picked up at the ferry and escorted to our jeep rental and to the villa. The grocery is near by....The villa is well appointed to experience a great sunrise and sunset and one of the best views on the Island. We enjoyed every moment and will return....great views and villa....well worth it.

Our stay at the Carnival Beach house exceeded our expectations. We were greeted at the ferry dock in Cruz Bay by a very friendly representative of Caribean Villas. She directed us to our rental car and escorted us to the amazing villa. Everything was immaculate and clean. We rented both the guest house and main house. The view was breathtaking from all areas of the property. One of the many highlights of our stay was morning coffee on the terrace listening to the ocean waves to cocktails at night viewing the spectacular display of stars. An extra bonus was seeing the Southern Cross constellation at 5:00am (getting up for a fishing trip that day) The snorkeling and kayaking from the private beach was the best of all of our snorkeling adventures on the island that week. We saw turtles, stingrays, conch shells, squid, eels, and an array of the most colorful fish and coral we had seen. We prepared many meals at the house and the kitchen was fully stocked with any type of utensil one would need to make a gourmet meal. The house itself has great private areas and gathering spaces both inside and out. Not to mention, the house is in a very quiet area of the island but yet has easy access to Cruz Bay. On a side note, the representatives from Carribean Villa were always friendly and available to help, both before and during our stay. We have been coming to St. John for over 20 years and by far this is the best place we have ever stayed at. We would highly recommend staying at the Carnival Beach House on your next visit to Paradise.
