So convenient!

This was a great and convenient location on St. John. The house was stocked with everything we needed for a great day on the beach. It made everything so simple and fun — the Jeep was a fabulous bonus. Our kids loved the spiral staircase, the deep swimming pool, and the view from the deck. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great condo and close proximity to area attractions

Our stay started out super convenient as the property manager Trevor picked us up right away at the ferry and took us to our condo earlier than check in time. He gave us a great overview of the island and things we would need. This place came with a jeep which was such an added bonus. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. It also had a sun shade which we desperately needed every day at the beach. Had chairs and coolers and floats too. Any questions I had the property managers responded immediately. They also were helpful in helping us plan our return ferry back to st Thomas airport.

Nice getaway

We enjoyed our week. The condo was nice and appeared as described. Some of the complex’s furniture around the pool is broken, but the Pastory needs to take care of that. Use of the Jeep was an added benefit. The AC in the main bedroom was great. There is an AC unit in the loft, but it is too hot outside for it to be super effective. If you’re a hot sleeper you’ll need to sleep downstairs. The owner was very informative prior to our arrival and responsive when we had an issue. The property manager was on site regularly and also very helpful.

Wonderful Stay

We had a fantastic time at this condo. The communication with the property managers was fantastic! It was very clean and a ton of space. The A/C in the bedroom was a nice touch. The proximity to town is great as well. We would definitely return - getting a car with the rental is an INCREDIBLE perk!

Crowsnest Difficult Access

Friendly property manager and free Jeep. Limited access to non air conditioned upstairs bedroom via narrow spiral staircase. From the 30 degree incline on the driveway to the steep unlighted outdoor stairway, this is an unsafe place. Overall friendly vibe of a 60’s youth hostel with beautiful palm trees and birds singing.

Nice and clean villa with comprehensive amenities!

My family stayed here for 5 days and it was great! Overall it was very clean and homey, and the host Garet and property manager Dena were super kind and helpful! Free Jeep included in the rent also makes this such a sweet deal, which I don't think you can find anywhere else on St.John. With so many things going on with my life, I really hope I will find another chance to visit this beautiful island and stay at this place again soon!

Great family holiday

We had a wonderful time at palmy daze. The beds were new and comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and the pool was clean and peaceful. Town was a quick trip away and the views from the back deck were beautiful. Coming in to the house’s location, we were a bit skeptical due to an abundance of abandoned cars lining the streets but the house was exactly as pictured and was clean and quiet.

Great spot and lovely condo!

We spent four days in St John and loved this property. Very convenient and great views. We liked staying up in the hills a bit instead of the more crowded Cruz Bay. But just a quick 5 min drive into town. Was huge plus to have a car with the property and Dena was very helpful. Condo easily holds 4 adults and was comfortable.

Great stay

We were a group of 5 adults and 1 6 yo kid. The fact that the property came with a car big enough to hold all of us was a steal. The property itself was in a good location just 5-10 minutes away from Red Hook. Fold out sofa in the living was surprisingly comfortable. All in all we would definitely stay at the property again.

Great stay and great location

We love this property. The AC in the master bedroom is a nice touch but wasn’t needed. Short 7 minute drive to downtown Cruz Bay and the beaches of North Shore. Paddle board and fins that were at the condo are amazing! So much fun for our kids. And all the beach chairs were great. The Jeep wrangler is perfect for the island and saved us a lot of money. Will definitely stay again!!

A warning…

We needed a stay for one extra night before our departure. I booked this stay and received a message from the owner that it was an error and they don’t do one night rentals. However, he then said they could accommodate us (2 couples, 2 kids). I received a message after the stay requesting a 5 star review and to directly contact them with any concerns, but this stay was so bad that I feel mislead by their 9.7 star rating. The condo was SO uncomfortably hot. The two bedroom AC plug in floor units were insufficient to cool it to anything resembling comfortable. My husband killed one cockroach inside despite always having the doors and screens shut, so even though it’s on the top floor there’s a definite sealing issue. The beds felt very cheap and uncomfortable, and I had to sleep on a towel because the pillow had visible mold and had a strong odor of mildew. The “pull out couch sleeper” is very misleading…they were small and the most uncomfortable surface. The showers looked dirty, and I found a toe nail clipping next to the bed. It felt like one step above camping, which was very disappointing for a 650 fee and 9.7 rating. Fair warning: we’ve stayed at many properties on the island and will never return to this rental or complex.

A slice of paradise!

We so delighted staying at this property. It was it better than described, and for us, the icing on the cake was the loaner beach chairs, noodles, coolers AND car. We appreciated that the kitchen had a variety of pots, pans, "Tupperware" so we could do food prep at the condo for our afternoons on the beach. We loved evenings at the pool. We left a few canned goods and not-quite-empty bottles of booze behind to help start the next guest on their vaycay. Communication with the owner was easy and helpful. I highly recommend!

This rental is awesome, and you can include use of the car for not much extra per day! We were picked up at ferry and dropped back off at the end of our stay, added service we found to be very helpful and it offsets the cost of including the vehicle. Deck space in the evening is heaven, beds very comfy, everything spotless and useful, beach chairs another cost effective (and provides freedom) added touch. There is nothing a would recommend the owner and manager change about this perfect rental offering on St. John. We'd be very likely to return here if we ever come back to the island.

Convenient to Cruz Bay

Two 60+ yr olds, coming to STJ for ages. Location to Cruz is ideal. Communication w/Garet was very easy and quick. Plenty of beach chairs and snorkel equipment. Wish the A/C in MBR was more effective. Only used pool once- no hand rail on stairs going into pool so if you have bad knees, be aware. Upstairs BR is comfy and is very breezy and offers another choice. No issues w/bugs. An excellent choice if you have good knees, still a good choice if you don’t!

We loved this place!

This place was wonderful. Our group was my husband and me and my mother-in-law and my daughter who is 2.5. My husband and I stayed upstairs and everyone else shared the room downstairs. Everyone was very comfortable. The view was beautiful. The location is as great and the pool was also beautiful and a salt water pool which really makes a difference. We had just 3 minor criticisms: 1 the listing said hot tub and there is no hot tub. 2. One of the two coin op washing machines was broken and ate our money. 3. Some of the furniture by the pool just needed to be taken to the dump as it was irreparably damaged.

Happy to have found Palmy Daze

Palmy Daze was a welcome respite after days snorkeling at any of the many beaches and coves we explored. The property was located not far from town off the main road that goes across the island. It was clean and well equipped with everything we needed for casual evening meals and to relax after a day in the sun and water. The slow cooker was a welcome surprise and we put it to use several times. The roads took a good day to get used to but we knew we couldn’t get lost, especially since we weren’t always firm on where we were going. Our trip happened to coincide with Carnival which was an unexpected delight to experience. The activity made parking in Cruz Bay a little extra but Garet’s advice to pay to park and enjoy yourself was perfect. It was July so we expected heat and humidity but the dramatic rain showers and breezes were a bonus. Next time we’d like to get to do more hiking when the weather is a little bit cooler. The advice someone shared to not pack too much as you’ll be in your bathing suit all the time was absolutely correct. Great place to meet up with family for a vacation.

Wedding/vacation

Not being familiar with St. John, we did not realize it was so hilly or that there were so many steps and steep incline to get into the property. That being said, it was just 5 minutes from Cruz Bay and having a car was definitely a plus. You definitely could not walk it. The only problem with having a car, any place you go in Cruz Bay, you have to pay to park the car. There is literally zero chance of getting any parking. Dena, the property manager, was so pleasant and prompt with any of our questions. The property was clean and spacious (there were six of us), with a view of the bay from the deck, and it had everything we needed. We were there for our grandson's wedding and needed to stay close to Cruz Bay, and this fit the bill. If you are adventurous, take the car (you drive on the left side of the road!) and go to the other end of the island (Coral Bay area) over what we called the Heart Attack Highway! Steep and very narrow roads but the various bays and water were gorgeous. Plenty of snorkeling and kayaking available. People everywhere were extremely friendly.
