Exactly what we needed

Monic was amazing! She met us at the car rental place since this was our first time on the island and showed us around the villa. It was well stocked and spotless and a perfect get away retreat! We plan on visiting again and staying with them!

Wonderfully located beautiful villa

From the very beginning even before booking, Melissa was quick to respond to inquiries. She and her property manager Monic are absolutely wonderful. Upon arrival, the villa was very clean and looked exactly like the photos. We’ve been staying in villas on St John for 10 years now. What truly sets this property apart aside from the owner and property manager’s customer service, is the villas amenities. Truly nothing was spared or missed. They provide separate bath, pool and quick dry beach towels well in excess of the number of guests, the kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly want. Shampoo, conditioner, soap and paper products are provided in quantities that don’t require running out to the market. The house is spacious and set up in a way that allows for your group to spend time comfortably together or separately. There are lots of games to play too, they truly thought of everything. Our two young boys, ages 6 & 8 loved the pool, it was the first thing they did each day and the last thing they did before bed. There are nice shady spots to relax outside and my parents enjoyed using the grill while my husband and I went out for dinner at my favorite restaurant on island, Extra Virgin. The location is superb. In less than 5 minutes, you’re at Shambles and Windmill Bar. Coco Jim’s is just a couple minutes further. 7 minutes to Cruz Bay and 10 minutes to most of the beaches. We enjoyed our time at Villa Mangaade and would highly recommend. Thank you!

Amazing week with family and friends

Our week stay at Villa mangaade was wonderful. Check in and communication with the property manager before and during our stay was above and beyond our expectations. We had previously stayed in the same area so were familiar with the steep driveways and hairpin turns that can at first be intimidating. The house was immaculate and the few minor issues were handled immediately by Monic. The outdoor space was one of a kind and our young boys loved looking for wildlife on the property. We would absolutely stay again!

Villa Mangaade A Pleasure

We just got back from a great stay at the Villa and on Saint John. The Villa was a wonderful quiet and cool place to spend our relaxation when we weren’t exploring the island. Plenty of room for our party of 6 and great spaces to relax. Monic was terrific and her letter beforehand with tips and then check ins throughout the week were great.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Mounce Mithal

We have been vacationing to St. John for over almost 2 decades and were married on Trunk Bay. Love City indeed, STJ has special meaning for us and our children who have grown up with many Spring Break memories of the beaches on St. John. We love the community with its mix of folks that moved here in the 60s and 70s and newcomers who have discovered the beauty and tranquility of the Island.

Why they chose this property

Villa Mangaade had everything we wanted in an island home and more. We love the comfortable Caribbean architecture and the unique St. John stonework which became a favorite feature of ours in many of the villas we have rented on the island. The layout of the property offers plenty of space and privacy for our family providing everyone with their own bedroom and bathroom. Outdoor showers and an extensive outdoor entertainment area with a fabulous pool was a must.

The biggest surprise of this property are the huge boulders that greet you when you first turn into the driveway and continue to the entrance. We are so fortunate to have this natural landscaping and continue to make these rocks a signature feature of the villa.

What makes this property unique

After touring the villa with our realtor, we instantly fell in love with the property. At lunch that same day, we coincidentally ran into the builder, Tom Bertolino. We knew at that moment this was our villa. He gave us the history on the house and told us the villa was originally named Mangaade (meaning Mango Lane) for all the mango trees on the property. We thought it very good karma to revert to the original name of the villa and in that instant Villa Mangaade was reborn.
