Location was perfect. The hill on Hill street was a little tough, but the walk going around the other direction was not difficult. The host and manager were very kind and were quick to assist with any questions. Kitchen was well stocked and the home was comfortable and clean. Pool was great! We had an amazing time and look forward to our return.

The place is beautiful and very well maintained. It was clean and had everything you need including beach towels and nice beach chairs. The outside had 3 separate sitting areas where we spent most of our time. The communication was wonderful and the host was extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Family / adults holiday

Our group of 4, enjoyed the property including the private outdoor covered patio and seating area with beautiful views. We loved to have our morning coffee and enjoy the view. We enjoyed the pool as well and the proximity to the restaurants in Cruz Bay and the taxis to the beaches. We didn’t rent a car and the location was great to walk to restaurants and the taxi stand. We enjoyed the property!

Great condo close to Cruz Bay

Everything you need to fully enjoy St. John is thoughtfully included in this condo. The location is close enough to walk to town, but I would recommend getting a rental Jeep. The condo itself is very clean and includes everything you need while staying in St. John. I highly recommend this condo and would stay here again.

Great location and amenities

I loved the proximity to Cruz Bay. This was a great place to stay to take day trips around St John and nearby islands. We didn’t rent a car and getting around was easy. The pool is lovely, as is the lanai. St John has some significant energy blackouts during our trip, so the pool provided a great place to cool off.

Wonderful Place

We loved everything about our stay here at Battery Hill. Check in/out was super easy. They kept us informed of everything along the way and gave a bunch of suggestions on dining, hiking and anything else we needed. Close to town so we could walk to all the restaurants/bars and didn't have to worry about parking. We will definitely stay here again.

Second time staying in Rainbows End

We had a wonderful time during our second stay at Rainbows End. Location is perfect if you don't want to rent a car. You're just steps away from the pool. Having a kitchen and access to a grill was perfect to cook in a few nights and eat on the pool deck overlooking Cruz Bay. We love Rainbows End and hope to be back in June of 2015!

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Cute

Host profile image
We are a family of six and recently moved to Cape Cod after 30 years in Northern Virginia, just outside of Washington DC. We have very busy lives and Rainbows End in Cruz Bay is our escape...a small piece of paradise where you can relax and enjoy the breathtaking outdoors, and we love sharing it with others! It only took us a few visits to St. John with our children to quickly realize St John was a place we would always return to. We love the relaxing peace and beauty of the island and the great vibrant restaurants of Cruz Bay! Hiking and snorkeling off the white sand beaches are by far our favorite activities...there is no place on earth like St. John!

Why they chose this property

Battery Hill is located on the top of the hill looking out over Cruz Bay. Not only does it offer amazing views, it is short stroll into town for shopping and dinning offering the best of both worlds. Rainbows End is a very private unit with GREAT outdoor space, both covered space for your morning coffee or an evening night cap as well as open space for private sunbathing! The complex pool is just a few steps away....it is a private grotto with all the amenities needed in close proximity!
