St John accommodation

Mr. Prince property was spotless, clean china, neat rooms, cleaners, coffee filters and AC, everything was just right and Mr Prince was very friends and accommodating. Location close to Cruz Bay, scenic view. I would higher recommend his VRBO.

Great place to Stay!

This is a great place to stay. It's not a fancy resort, Just a two bedroom apartment. If your going to spend your time exploring the island and the waters around then save your money and stay here, not an expensive resort!

Great value and location!

This spot was great. We had everything we needed, and the hosts were so helpful and friendly. They provided water and a fruit bowl upon our arrival, which was very kind. There is a major construction project going on next door, but it didn't bother us at all.

Great Stay in St John

Our family of four enjoyed our stay at Mr. Prince’s place. He was a great, responsive host. The house was clean, comfortable and well located. We could walk to Cruz Bay restaurants in about 15 minutes. Thanks to Mr. Prince for a great stay!

Second time staying there

We stayed again at contant farms, after having stayed last winter. It was just as great as we remembered. We didn’t mind walking up the hill daily, but if that’s a dealbreaker for you, you may want to look elsewhere. But for us, it was the perfect place to stay. We will certainly stay again in the future, given the opportunity.

Everything you need!! Beds were comfortable. Full kitchen! Short walk to Cruz Bay and taxis- no need to get a car. The kitchen cabinets were old, some tile in the bathroom was broken, otherwise in excellent condition. If these small things were fixed, I bet Mr. Prince could get 500- 800 a night, which is typical for Cruz Bay! There was an air conditioning unit in both bedrooms and a natural breeze that came in from the kitchen. Stayed nice and cool. If needed, this duplex comes with a generator. I felt very safe in the neighborhood. Another home on the street had 10-15 old cars in the front yard- so a bit like a junkyard. Mr. Prince could not be a kinder man!! Always ready to answer calls and transport us from the ferry ! If granite countertops, luxury bathroom tiles, and a neighborhood with an HOA are important to you; please pay 800 a night elsewhere. Otherwise, it’s a diamond in the rough and I advise to book here!

Wonderful Base for Exploring St. John

We loved our stay at this convenient 2 bedroom apartment. We were able to eat our breakfasts at the apartment and make lunches to eat when we were out hiking. We ate at restaurants most evenings. The apartment was clean, and it was the perfect size as our base for hiking, exploring the ruins, and enjoying the beaches. St. John is a beautiful island. Thank you, Mr. Prince, for your hospitality and for making us feel comfortable and welcome.

A great stay!

Mr. Prince was a lovely host. This property is a great home base to explore the beautiful island of St . John. You can walk to Cruz Bay from this property, but it is on a very steep hill and could be a challenge for some. The home is older, but well cared for. We enjoyed our stay and the price is a bargain!

The host, Mr. Prince, is SO welcoming. We couldn’t find the property as our flights got delayed and we arrived after dark. Mr. Prince came down to a gas station to meet us so we could follow him to the house. It’s a great location and he provided all that we needed. We will definitely visit again!

Duplex at St John

Loved the small quiet home away from home. We had no problems while we were there. Stayed cool with the window ac. Full kitchen we didn't use. Balcony views where the car ferries come in/out. Small parking area. One of the two bedrooms has twin beds. It was prefect for us!

mr prince was lovely and available. the apartment was roomier than we expected, had plenty of closet and dresser space, bathroom was clean, plenty of bath and beach towels, beach chairs, cooler, noodles, a grill, stove.. everything you could need. there was even bug spray and dish soap, and mr prince left us some drinking water in case we hadnt gotten any yet. it was dark when we arrived, and he met us at the gas station so we could follow him to the apartment. my kids loved the view. thanks so much, mr prince!

Disappointed….

Prince was amazing. He picked us up and also brought us to the grocery store! The communication with the owner was great. As for the place, we were disappointed. The pictures did not show certain details. The shower was moldy and there was rust around the drain. The outside porch was dirty and the all of the beach chairs and floats were not usable. The grill was immaculate! I still think it should have been much cleaner and the tub should have been in the pictures. I would not stay there again unless changes were made

Fun Time

Stayed with my wife and Mother-in-Law. Place was plenty roomy. We used it as our base as we did a lot of exploring. We rented a jeep in St. Thomas and took the car ferry, round trip was $65.00. Keep in mind you have to take the same company in order to not pay again. Place is very close to the ferry. St. John was easy to explore, did not take long to get used to driving opposite of the road and to know where we were going. Beaches were awesome! The Prince's had some water and fruit for us when we got there. He also had 3 beach chairs for us to use for the week. We would rent again from Mr. Prince. He was pleasant to meet and didn't bother us. Thanks for sharing your place with us!! Hope to see you soon!

Contant Drive, St. John

The description of the property was not fully accurate. Somewhere in a review I read that it was on a hill but it did not mention how steep the hill was. It was so steep that we had to drive up the road, on a corner, to turn around in order to drive down the road. There was also a junk yard of cars at the bottom of the hill and a vacant/ abandoned house next door. We also passed 4 big open trucks of trash or recyclables at the bottom of the hill, on the side of the road. The living area was clean and comfortable with a tv, cable and internet, but the tub needed new caulking, the rubber bath mat was moldy and the tub was clogged when we took showers.The kitchen could use a new fry pan. The one there was rusted. After we picked up our rental car I called our contact person. She tried to give me directions but I had no idea what she was talking about. I suggested she find us and direct us to the location, where she gave us the key. It was generally quiet though, the air conditioning was adequate, and the host left us a nice basket of fruit. This is the first time I tried VRBO and I will be more careful in the future. One suggestion would be to have a more detailed map of where property is and surrounding area.
