Great getaway

BJ was a great host and what an adorable property. Loved the beach in front of the property and the access to kayaks. Very relaxing for my son and I for a last minute getaway.

St John/String of Pearls

My husband and I had a great stay at String of Pearls Villa! The villa was spacious and clean. The kitchen provided everything we needed to prepare some meals at “home”. And most importantly, the bed was incredibly comfortable! The property was private, yet close to everything! We did rent a vehicle, but it would be easy to catch a taxi from the Westin if need be. BJ and Freida were very responsive and offered many hints and tips to make our stay on St John perfect! We look forward to returning to the island and String of Pearls!

Awesome location

Excellent location within walking distance of Westin via the beach path. Perfect for two people. I would suggest better directions for finding the property especially in the evening. The road to the house could be very challenging for those not comfortable driving on a narrow road . The toilet needs to be reset and linens upgraded. The shower was hot ! Would stay here again !

The best private getaway

I wanted something simple and private for our honeymoon. I knew we wouldn't be at the house often, but I still wanted beach and water access. My husband didn't feel well one day, so it was a perfect spot for me to be able to go sit on our little sandy beach area. A quick maybe 6 minute drive and you are in Cruz Bay for dinner. We enjoyed being able to cook our own breakfast and enjoy it on the porch or by the water! A great way to save if you would rather make sandwiches to carry with you for the day and cook dinner at home. I would highly recommend renting a car. If you don't have a boat, you definitely need a car. There's a spot right down from the house where you can schedule water activities and boat rentals. The property manager was great with response and easy to talk to! All of our friends have been messaging us wanting the info on our little home for the week! I am usually spoiled when it comes to luxurious stays, but in St. John it's the last thing you need. This home is so peaceful and private. You are surrounded by "luxury" just by the views of St. John. Trust me, rent this home and you will not regret the view and privacy you have. We will absolutely be back and I cannot wait!

About the host

Hosted by BJ

I have lived on St. John for thirty years, having sailed here as a youngster on a classic ocean racer. String of Pearls is the cottage I built on my dream property, beachfront land just one house away from the Westin. I love the water and could spend all my time sitting on the beach or sailing, dinghying, windsurfing or kayaking! But I'm a full time real estate broker and am about to build an energy-neutral, 'green' house that will be another great rental! Look forward to Moonlight Serenade.

Why they chose this property

Great Cruz Bay is an elegant neighborhood, mostly of vacation rentals. To own a home on the beach almost adjacent to the Westin Resort with all its amenities is a dream come true. I designed the house to be the perfect romantic hideaway for a couple. When I'm at String of Pearls, I can just walk down the beach to great restaurants, a health club, watersports and shopping. Being just a five minute drive from Cruz Bay, the island's main port of entry is incredibly convenient, too. Ten minutes and I'm at a world class National Park beach.
