We spent a week here and definitely took advantage of the close location to downtown. Although it is a close walk, it is very hilly and a difficult terrain. We really enjoyed the property, the house was beautiful! The only suggestion we would have would be to have beach chairs and a cooler available. Other than that, we had a perfect stay and would definitely rent here again!

Of course there are mosquitoes on Caribbean islands. The question is whether the property owner has done enough to control them. The answer for this property is no. We did all we could, such as by keeping windows and doors closed, running the 2 supplied bug zappers, applying bug spray to ourselves and the interior, yet we were still besieged day and night by mosquitoes. We literally had to stay on the go, away from what was otherwise a beautiful cottage, because of this issue. The mosquitoes appear to breed in the a/c vents but there is no way to isolate in any rooms since the doors have louvers.. Even if this is a seasonal problem, it should be addressed, not ignored. At a minimum, the owner could provide mosquito nets for sleeping. Owner needs to figure out a solution to this problem.

Upon entering the villa for the very first time, the villa was full of mosquitoes. The host told us “just be sure to keep the doors shut”. After a terrible night and day of being eaten alive we bought bug spray, citronella candles, anything we could find. We also called the host back stating the mosquitoes were terrible and her recommendation was - “wear bug spray”. It was awful! We all had to sleep under the covers. It appeared as though there were mosquitoes coming out of the drains! There was even a bug zapper in the back laundry room so they are clearly aware of the problem. By the end of the week my daughter and husband looked like they had the measles - they were covered in so many mosquito bites! I would not stay here or recommend it to anyone ! Especially with dengue fever prevalent in St. John mosquitoes!!

Honestly, this is the best rental my family (2 adults, 3 boys age 13, 12 & 10) has ever stayed in--worth every penny. From the personal touches (stocking the fridge with snacks/drinks) to the fully stocked house with everything we could need, we were thrilled from the moment we walked in. The villa was perfectly located, close to everything and we especially loved being close to Frank Bay and Coconut coast studios. The property itself is just lovely, comfortable and quaint. AC worked wonderfully and the pool was perfect. Especially loved the two balconies:)

there is not much room to park a 4 door jeep but its only a 5 min walk to restaurants and taxis to beaches which is cheaper than jeep rentals. going to grocery would be a problem though, so maybe if host can take a grocery order/prestock would work around. otherwise unless you are comfortable parking in really tight spaces I would recommend a 2 door jeep size vehicle

We loved it! Close to town and a separate area for my kids upstairs. Air conditioning was excellent. We had beach chairs, coolers, pool noodles etc. We will definitely stay here again.

Great house, Two teenage kids had their own space upstairs in the loft. We had our privacy in our suite. We would sit on the balcony each morning with coffee and each night with wine. Great place for place to hangout after day at the beach. Easy walk down the hill to Cruz Bay. But the old knees didn't like the walk up most nights. We found a cab driver that would come pick us up at the front door and take us where ever we wanted. We used the pool only once, because there was so much else to do. Would recommend it as your command center, then off to some beach each day.

Beautiful place in a great spot. We stayed for 7 nights and loved the place. Checking in was very personalized. They arranged for a taxi from the airport and it was a breeze from there. There is a nice view from upper balcony or from the pool. The walk to town was short (although quite a hill). There is a key to the opposite gate on the other side that helps with the walk. The place has 3 air conditioners that keep it nice a cool that is refreshing after a walk. One word of caution. There isn't as much privacy as expected in the open area. Although foot traffic is extremely limited to just the guests staying in the other units around the cottage, there are a couple of windows that can view directly inside the cottage. The bedroom is private of course. We rented a jeep while there and I do recommend that.

Adorable home. Comfortable. Clean. Road construction made things a little difficult during our stay. Fantastic pool with great view. Tough to get suitcases up to the loft. Great outdoor spaces. Smaller rental car will fit better in the parking space. 4 door jeep wasn’t a great fit. Comfortable living area. Laundry detergent, soap, shampoo, dish soap, beach towels all readily available. We had a great trip and would stay here again.

We had a wonderful week. The place was really perfect for a family. Kids had their own floor with their own beds, balcony and bathroom. Master was a great space. Kitchen and living space was really spacious and easy to keep tidy. Close to Cruz Bay shopping and restaurants. We did not have a car so walked daily to the bus or taxi. Frank Bay was just down the road and good snorkeling near Gallows Point.

Accommodations clean and comfortable. Short wslk to town but no view. Great place to stay on a budget in Stjohn

This property is a hidden gem! Check in was a breeze with the property manager meeting us at the car ferry. The place is spacious and we loved the colonial caribbean feel! Easy walk to town but private feel on a quiet street and felt like we had the pool to ourselves. The only issue is that our mother in law has limited mobility so had a challenge with all the stairs and hills but we made it work! Would come here to stay again for sure!

Great property for the money. Close walking distance to Cruz Bay. Parking situation is you rent a Jeep is very tight but that what you get when you are in St John. Highly recommend renting.

When we arrived in St. John we were picked up by the property manager who took us to the house which was a nice perk. The house was very clean and perfect for our group of 4. The house had everything we needed. We could walk to the town where the bars and restaurants are but in the evening we took a taxi because there were no lights and big hills to climb. We felt safe everywhere we went on the island. The beach that you can walk to is very small so I would recommend taking a taxi to the bigger beaches. We loved the house and the area and would highly recommend this property.

Can’t wait to visit again.
