James was extremely responsive. The property was lovely.

The Owner is attentive and helpful. Quick to respond. Ample accommodations for my family during our stay

We loved the location. Quiet and away from Cruz Bay with amazing sunset views

James, it’s always a pleasure!! This is the third time we’ve stayed at your villa and that view never disappoints!! Thank you!!

Excellent

Another great vacation in St. John. This house served us well with plenty of room and great views. Our property manager was right on top of everything we needed.

Was my second time staying at this property and the view never gets old! James is such a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be staying here again when we come for our now annual trip to St. John.

Floors were not clean. If you walk much barefoot, your feet may be black from the dirt on the floor. Plenty of dishes and cook ware! Clothes washer was terribly loud and kept stopping before load was finished. Bathroom sink drain was stopped up.

We had a wonderful stay. James was a great host. House was lovely

Our stay was just what we were looking for. Comfortable place for kids, parents and grandparents. The owner was really nice and even drove us to the property. Closest beach was about 10 min away but we didnt mind the short drive. Would go back.

James met us at the ferry and we followed him promptly to the property. He explained where to park and then we toured the house explaining where he shared all details. The location was so convenient and the view spectacular. We sat by pool in the evening looking at stars. There was also chairs, cooler and floats for the beach we borrowed each day. Home was beautiful with plenty of sleeping options for our kids and there was ample patio space for enjoying coffee or a meal. Would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting STJ! Thanks again to James for making our short stay there wonderful.

James made us feel very welcomed to the island by meeting us at our car rental place, escorting us to the unit and showing us around. Our kids enjoyed the shared outdoor hot tub and pool (we never saw anyone else use). The unit was very well equipped (lots of towels, toilet paper, detergent, etc), spacious rooms, comfy beds, nice outdoor dining/grill area and living area with hammock. My husband especially enjoyed the driveway 😜. James was only a phone call away if anything was needed. After visiting another VRBO, we realized what a great location this place had too.

This is a great rental. Lots of outdoor space including a pool. Comfortable beds, lots of towels. Great view and location. James is a great host and is very available We’ll be back

Estate Rendezvous and Ditlef was an outstanding property and I highly recommend it for your trip to St. John. We are a family of six, two older boys and two teenage girls. When traveling, as a family, we always rent homes and villas and have done so throughout the Caribbean, Italy, Vermont, and Florida. I am, also, a super host, so I therefore have a lot of experience with rental villas. Jim's place is GREAT! It's comfortable and clean and well appointed. It has everything you need and, most importantly, it is not too far from Cruz Bay. There are fabulous villas to choose from on St John, but many are located far from Cruz Bay and the North Shore, where all the great beaches are. The driving is CRAZY on the island because of all the steep hills and Jim's place is located near everything and it matters. Plus, the deck with pool and hot tub is lovely and very enjoyable. It is shared space, but everyone is divided perfectly with separate driveways and entrances, so it works very well. Plus, there is an AMAZING private road that does not get any traffic, with incredible views for walking. I do not recommend walking on any road that has cars traveling on it in St Johns. The roads are tight and cars travel too fast. You can rent a car and get around without difficulty, but it is not for someone that would be bothered by driving on the opposite side of the road with lots of VERY steep hills. Lastly, Jim's place has a trundle bed pullout in a "third" sleeping area. The beds are both incredibly comfortable and the area is somewhat set apart as an alcove. My husband and I ended up sleeping there, as we are the early risers. We planned to have our daughters, but the beds were so nice and comfortable, that we decided to and it worked out perfectly. I highly recommend Jim's villa and hope to return to it sooner than later. Thank you, Jim, it was a wonderful family vacation.

Had a wonderful NYE stay here with friends. The place was hard to find in the dark (who knew addresses arent really a thing in USVI), but host was responsive and was able to easily guide us there. Place had coffee maker and reliable internet, so essentials were covered. Pool area was amazing. 5 minutes to grocery store, 10 minutes to national park, and 5 minutes to car barge. Really an ideal location, especially if you have a rental car. Highly recommend this property and host. Will absolutely look to book this listing when we return.

Property was great with all amenities you would need for a trip. Hot tub and pool were also nice to have at the end of the day. James was very responsive and helpful with everything.

The place was great. They even left the left over beer in the fridge. The place was clean. Hard to find, but oh well, I think that is the norm in St. John. It was just us 3, but it would have easily fit more. In short, it was clean, comfortable, and it had great views. What more can you ask for?

This property exceeded my expectations. We stayed on the main level and had walkout access to amazing verandas, the pool and jacuzzi. Simple things like the abundance of soap/ shampoo/ conditioner/ body wash, to more complex needs like dishes and pots exceeded my expectations. The beds and pillows are comfortable and waking up to that view is amazing!! There are plenty of towels too. I appreciated the coolers and beach chairs that were available. The unit has deci it's fresh clean water, plenty of ice,, mustard, ketchup and tea. I'd recommend bringing your own coffee to use in the provided drip coffee maker. On the subject of recommendations, I'd suggest bringing any dry goods that travel well; coffee, for instance, is about $8 per 12 Oz package at the market. I'd also recommend plastic disposable cups and straws for use at the pool or beach.

Property was great- excellent location, plenty of room and a wonderful view! About a ten min drive from ferry, the two bedroom, two bath apartment has large living room and kitchen in middle of bedrooms providing privacy. Shared pool with hot tub facing east. Equipped kitchen with dishwasher and laundry. Janes was an excellent host! He allowed us a late checkout and was easy to reach. Would stay again.

Great property for a family and made better by having such a great person manage it. Thank you for everything, James.

We had a great stay. The pool and outdoor space was perfect. The kitchen and bathrooms could use a little updated but over all great experience.

Place was ok, but I chose the property because of the pool and hot tub. Pool had a lot of leaves and debris in it and hot tub was cloudy. Also, mosquitoes were everywhere in the house. We kept doors closed, but it did not help. I got more bug bites in the house than I did hiking.

Beautiful villa

great host

Had an absolutely amazing stay. James was the best host we’ve ever encountered…picked us up in town, showed us around the city, and was available for any questions or recommendations. His place has an unbelievable view just minutes outside of downtown. Couldn’t have had a better time. We will be rebooking with him!

unit was nice, great view

Our experience was fantastic! The owners were extremely helpful, accommodating and friendly. The property was incredible and the views beautiful, made all the better with the company of Magpie the cat. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again.

My family (including 2x 10yo and my mother) stayed at the Rendezvous Terrace this week for a post Covid vaccine getaway from NC. The house was great and the VRBO description is spot on. 2 bedrooms and the trundle bed off the family room. Lots of light with the west facing sliding glass doors onto the private patio. The bathrooms were updated with large tile and glass showers with towels, soaps, and shampoos provided. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals after a stop at the grocery. New pots and pans, sharp knives, and Tupperware for leftovers and beach lunches. There were beach chairs, beach towels, coolers, and pool noodles on the porch for us to use each day for trips to various beaches. The pool and hottub were clean and perfect for sunsets. Hoping we can get back soon! Thanks James!

Couldn’t have asked for more. James is a pro, great accommodations and very comfortable. Pool is great, linen is great, kitchen is great, can’t wait to return! Thank you 🙏

Excellent communication with the owner, to include transportation from the ferry to the property. The two king beds were incredibly comfortable and the day bed was a huge bonus. We really appreciated air conditioning available in both bedrooms in addition to the main living area. We enjoyed the outdoor living space both by the pool and hot tub area as well as outside private sitting sitting and dining areas outside our unit. James provided coolers and beach chairs for our stay and plenty of beach towels. It felt so good to get away at last in 2020!

This has been the best equipped rental we have had over the 15 years we have rented on St. John. The owner responds immediately to any requests and makes checking as easy as can be. We plan to return again next year.

This house was incredible!! We absolutely enjoyed the views and the house itself!! My birthday trip was a blast! Thank you!!
