This house is a great property. It is spacious and tastefully furnished with conveniences and comforts. However, the island of St. John is experiencing troubling interruptions to their power supply that caused us to lose electricity (and therefore water) for several hours every day that we were there. This interrupted lighting, air conditioning, and bathroom access for extended periods of time for our entire abbreviated stay. A backup power supply would help, but there will still be issues with the commercial properties on the island that do not have electrical backup. It is very unfortunate.

St John is an idyllic destination. Riley’s Retreat was the perfect home base for our island experience. Well equipped and handsomely appointed with a spectacular view, having a most enjoyable pool with ideal size and cleanliness, Riley’s Retreat perfectly fit the needs of our three generational family When we encountered some difficulties with appliances, the staff did everything they could to rectify problems This was one location that my wife and I agreed that we would visit again

I’d stay here again. Wonderful accommodations.

Absolutely beautiful! Everything you need and more. Loved all the space. Pool area was great for everyone hanging together. Spacious kitchen was great for gathering too. All the comforts of home. We all slept great. Beach chairs were much appreciated at the beaches and pool floats at the house. Gorgeous views from the balconies and pool.

We visited St. John and stayed at Riley's Retreat for my 40th birthday celebration - I can't say enough wonderful things about both! If you've never been to St. John, go now! It's such a peaceful and laid back place, much less touristy than any island in the Caribbean I've been to before. The villa is amazing with stunning views and plenty of space for all 12 of us to relax and unwind. Loved all the unique touches, pool, hot tub, outdoor shower and all of the amenities you could possibly need. It really felt like home for a few days. The villa is in a very convenient location, a quick ride away from the Cruz Bay ferry and "downtown" area, but you'll feel like you're miles away when gazing out over the water from the villa's beautiful deck. Dorothy was a fantastic host, always very responsive and provided some great recommendations. The on-island property manager was also super helpful. I have no complaints other than we wish we had stayed longer! Will definitely be back and would definitely recommend Dorothy and Brian's place for a large group.

Riley’s Retreat was a wonderful home base for our family vacation. It is close to the car ferry but yet high up enough to have an amazing view. If anyone tells you to go somewhere else for the best sunsets, you’ll probably find that they’re better at the house. The house had everything we needed for our 11 person, week long vacation, and we spent most of our time at the house, in the pool, making meals together. There were some maintenance issues. Both apartment level air conditioners stopped working or leaked at times during our stay. In each case, the management team responded quickly to address the problems. The dishwasher leaked but we found that the drain was clogged and we were able to fix it on our own. Overall though, we loved Riley’s Retreat, and we were very happy with the service.

We had a group of friends here to celebrate a couple of 50th Birthdays and honestly, the week could not have gone any better. The views from this house, it's convenience to the rest of the island and all of the included amenities made for a trip that was just about perfect. Thanks to the whole team involved with this house for making everything amazing!

The house was perfect form our group. It was my wife’s 40th birthday and we stayed on St John with a group of friends. The house, house managers and amenities couldn’t have been better. I’d recommend this home to anyone.
