2024 St John

List:No view, no washer nor dryer very humid, driveway unusable -pictures are inaccurate. Beach and bath towels are very musky - bring your own. Towels dingy color. No dishwasher either. There are nice things but not enough to come again. I do not like pellet grill. I’m used to and partial to gas. This is a place for someone to live in not a vacation rental. Had to ask for items….better to stay at Cinnamon Bay than pay high fee here.

Beautiful home!

We really enjoyed the home. It has all the modern things you might like to make it easy when you come home from the beach. The neighborhood is a bit run down but the house is amazing!

Great Stay

Everything went very smoothly. The on island contact met us at our jeep rental office and escorted us to the property. She was friendly and showed us everything we needed to know before leaving. Property was beautiful, well appointed, and well maintained. We were very comfortable there and would not hesitate to stay again!

Great Stay

Everything you need is at this beautiful home with a beautiful view! The details and furnishings of this home makes for a cozy, comfortable stay and you will find it hard to leave! Shelli was so nice to deal with to help with anything we needed. The drive around St John is difficult and it isn’t easy to get to the home but it’s not unusual for the island in general. The view from the porch is beautiful so it’s worth the upward trek to the top. Just make sure you rent a Jeep or SUV to help with the bumpy roads. Overall wonderful stay!!
