Family Getaway

From beginning to end, everything about our stay was wonderful. Carol met us at the airport, offered to take us by the grocery on our way to the house and happily showed us the way. The views are fantastic morning to night, the kitchen is well equipped with everything we needed to cook all of our meals and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and feel comfortable. Fay was very responsive to any questions we had and ensured our stay was easy from start to finish. We hope to return soon in the very near future!

Beautiful private retreat for our family!

Cliff side house overlooking beautiful ocean view for miles! Three bedroom and three bathrooms were perfect for our two college daughters and us. The property manager met us at the airport and we followed her to the property. She provided directions to groceries and restaurants with some wonderful suggestions. During our stay the property manager checked in frequently with us and was prompt with any questions or concerns we had. We look forward to returning to this beautiful property!

St. Thomas Stay March 8th through the 15th

Linda, Thank you for the use of your beautiful property. Villa Papillion is a fantastic property. It felt like we were staying in a luxury resort and a friend's house all at the same time. The view is absolutely wonderful. The pictures posted of your property, although beautiful, don't do it justice, especially when you are witnessing them in person. We were a party of 6 people and it was very comfortable for all. There was plenty of space for all to spend time together and have privacy when desired. We used the pool and spa every day and my wife and I had coffee every morning while taking it that view. Morning coffee at home is leaving something to be desired compared to that. We really enjoyed all the property. The house is lovely. There are many great pieces of art and other things that the owners have collected that added a unique experience to our stay. It was great looking at things and wondering where things came from. Linda was a most gracious host. We really wished we had an opportunity to meet her and her husband, Mike but they were out of town for that week. Linda arranged for Warren to meet up with us and show us to the property. After a walk through with Warren, we were left to start enjoying our time at the villa. Linda responded quickly to any question I had at any time. She even recommended a fantastic jewelry store in Charlotte Amelie for us to shop at. Thanks for the introduction to George and his staff at House of Rajah. Linda let George, the owner know, that we would be in to the store on our trip and my family and I were treated as if we were old friends. This was our first trip to St. Thomas so we didn't really know the layout of the island and how the roads were. Linda was more than happy to give us suggestions and directions. We had rented a van from Avis at the airport and were able to find our way around after awhile. My advice to anyone who would like to stay at Villa Papillion is not to rent a vehicle, but to use taxis. The villa is away from all the tourist stuff but that leads to a lot of peace and quiet. Linda can refer you to Warren for taxi service. We used him to take us into Charlotte Amelie one evening as I was not interested on driving at night. Warren was dependable and informative. Villa Papillion was wonderful for a family of different ages to vacation. Everything is beautiful and the owners have put much thought into what you need available for a fabulous say and vacation. Thanks, Linda and Mike.

Gorgeous property! Breathtaking views! Those are the thoughts that come to mind when I think of Villa Papillon. The cool ocean breeze and the warmth of the sun provide the perfect conditions to relax while taking in the stunning view. I could have spent hours each day on that deck. This villa offered a comfortable space to start our mornings and end our evenings. Our best friends, who were also celebrating their 25th anniversary, joined us for the week. We appreciated having the option of the cottage in addition to the main house for sleeping arrangements, allowing for more privacy. We greatly appreciated the amenities provided, including dish soap, body wash, shampoo, paper towels and laundry detergent as well as bath and beach towels. That freed up room in our luggage and also saved money in our wallets.My only disappointment is that we did not spend more time than we did enjoying this beautiful villa, as we devoted most of our week visiting the different beaches on St Thomas and St John. I wish our stay could have been longer! The property manager, Fay, was great to work with. She responded promptly to texts prior to our arrival and during our stay. Her professionalism and responsiveness were much appreciated.
A glimpse of the beautiful view from the deck.
When you walk down the driveway and start down the steps to the villa, you will be stopped in your tracks. The pool with the gorgeous ocean view framed between the house and cottage. Just wow!

We never grew tired of this view from the deck. Stunning!
A week was not long enough! Beautiful!

Amazing accommodations and views!

Six adults (3 couples) stayed at this beautiful property for 6 days. Everything you could want or need was provided. Kitchen had both a Keurig and a Mr. Coffee (filters provided). All of the dishes, cutlery, pots and pans were there as well as a toaster and blender. A small cooler, multiple beach towels, toiletries, hair dryers, games, and books (so many books!)My only complaints are the wi-fi and trash disposal. The wi-fi is nearly non-existent in the apartment and somewhat sketchy in the main house. You must take your own trash to the dump and it is in the opposite direction of the airport. Plan accordingly.If you rent a car, I highly recommend a Jeep as the roads are bumpy and steep.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house. The privacy of the pool, hot tub and deck made it feel we were alone on the hillside. The house was about 20 minutes from most things we wanted to do on the island. Everything was clean and in good condition.

Disappointed

The location of the property and the layout of the house were amazing. However, there were cleanliness issues with the kitchen and hot tub. The kitchen was not clean and food was left in the oven and there was rancid trash left in the outside bin. My family of four all contracted folliculitis from the hot tub and had to seek medical treatment upon returning home.

We had a great stay at this home during our vacation. The pool, views and bedroom were all amazing!

Amazing views in St. Thomas

We had a wonderful time at Villa Papillon - wishing we were still there. The villa is exactly as described. The beds were all super comfy and the common spaces were very nice. But really, it’s all about the views from every spot inside the house and from the lovely deck. We also spent enjoyable time in the pool. Fay was great to work with. We took advantage of many of her suggestions using Paradise Car Rental and Grocery Goddess to stock the house with groceries. The trip was perfect!!!

Stunning Views

Fay was absolutely amazing with quick responses to our questions. The property was amazing and wish we would have known to bring a DVD to gift to the house. No complaints on the variety provided but would have liked to give back in some way. There were plenty of pool floats, towels and chairs to borrow for the beach. Beds were comfortable. Loved the art work throughout the house. I cannot say enough positive things about this property. Pretty sure our family got into a few fights playing some of the games provided, lol. Highly recommend this property. The “bonus” house was so cute and shower view was awesome. Could easily provide amenities for 6 people. Can’t go wrong booking this house.

Spectacular Property and Views

This house is amazing and the views are spectacular. The only slight deficiencies are the hot tub did not work properly (it did work some nights) and the house would greatly benefit from a professional cleaning because it's a little worn around the edges. Aside from that St. Thomas is incredible, the people are very nice, and we all had a great time. I recommend this property for adult couples.
