We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this property. My favorite house so far!! Great location right near Cruz Bay. Jackie was super helpful when we arrived and the weeks leading up to our arrival. The house was fully stocked with towels, full kitchen and all the extras you need to hit the ground running. The layout was perfect for our family and the pool was awesome. We will definitely rebook this property!!

Ideal location! Jackie met us at the Ferry and showed us where our jeep rental was then pointed out different grocery stores and the main roads. Having our own pool was a plus for the afternoons we wanted to relax. We would definitely stay here again and bring friends since we didn’t take advantage of the 3 rooms we had. Thank you Jackie!

The laundry was fine and the kitchen was well appointed. Best we ever had! The view was amazing all day and all night. Every day and every turn was a beautiful new postcard! There were some repairs in progress and they didn't subtract from the experience. The pool and the view from the pool were outstanding. There were some very friendly and interesting Iguannas too Need a few more stemless wine glasses.

Paradise Found…

Idyllic is truly as advertised! Jackie and team met us as we arrived on island, and provided a great intro to St John, the house, and recommendations for all of our interests! The house is wonderful- A/C throughout, great harbor views, and the pool was surprisingly great to come back to each evening! I could not recommend them any higher!

Wonderful stay!

We just returned from Idyllic Villa and our time there was wonderful. The pictures do not do it justice. We absolutely loved the layout for 2 couples. Plenty of privacy, great outdoor area that’s covered and has a huge table. Plus great pool and pool deck. Also loved how close we were to town… just a 6 minute drive. We will not hesitate to stay here again!

The house manager, Jacki, is super friendly, accommodating, and attentive. She provided great information to make our stay very enjoyable. I highly recommend this house!

We enjoyed every minute of our time at Idyllic! The home is comfortable, warm, and inviting and came with everything we needed plus some. We loved reading on the covered porch, walking in the quiet neighborhood, and watching a spectacular sunset every evening. The location close to town was wonderful! Paradise!
