MANGO MOJO: Spacious Luxury Penthouse; Endless Sea Views; Pool; Walk to Town!

YOUR PENTHOUSE PARADISE AWAITS!  SLEEK & ELEGANT 3 BED/3 BATH WITH BREATHTAKING SEA VIEWS

Mango Mojo Villa is an elegant penthouse condo with soaring cathedral ceilings, sweeping open water views and hilltop breezes.  Exquisitely renovated in 2016, this spacious, well designed, and thoughtfully appointed condo has an open concept great room with a full gourmet kitchen, 3 private bedrooms and 3 full baths, generous dining table that comfortably seats 8, and in unit laundry facilities.  Two private balconies offer a spectacular shady perch for watching breathtaking sunsets, brilliant starry skies, glittering cruise ships at night on their way to southern ports of call, and ferries as they traverse in and out of Turner Bay.  Mango Mojo is located on the top floor of Mango Terrace Villas, a quiet boutique property with only 6 units, a private sparkling saltwater pool with more beautiful views, lush landscaping, and one off street parking spot per unit. The entire complex enjoys a backup generator in the event of an interruption in power service.

The main bedroom boasts a king size four poster bed, en suite full bath and private balcony; a second suite has two queen beds and en suite full bath; and the guest room has one queen bed and private full bath.  All are equipped with high quality cool cotton bedding, plush towels, HD flat screen TVs, ceiling fans, and ample closet and dresser storage.

The unit is luxuriously furnished, with the comfort of central A/C and ceiling fans throughout; or open the abundant windows and enjoy the cool prevailing trade winds.  The great room has comfortable, flexible seating, a 67" HDTV with DVD player, Chromecast and cable service, numerous games and books.  The spacious gourmet kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals and is perfect for entertaining.  Complimentary WIFI.

Enjoy coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening on the breezy great room balcony, with its comfortable lounge furniture and bar. A gas grill completes the scene...grill up some fresh caught local fish or protein of your choice!

Beach towels, chairs, cooler and noodles provided.

Walk 5 minutes down to Turner Bay or Frank Bay beaches, where you can swim and snorkel in the warm Caribbean water and snare lobster for dinner. Some of the world’s most beautiful beaches are a short drive or taxi ride away. Or choose to hike the many miles of trails that thread through the lush hills, valleys and beaches of the Virgin Islands National Park, which comprises 70% of the island.

Cruz Bay, the largest town on St. John, is an invigorating 10 minute walk from Mango Mojo. We love the walk to and from town, and often are sharing the quiet streets with peacocks, iguanas and goats.  It is a hilly walk and we are located at the top of a hill, so we do recommend taking a safari taxi if you prefer not to drive or walk. Enjoy a wide range of shopping, dining and nightlife options, or jump on a charter boat for world class diving, snorkeling, fishing, and touring the neighboring British Virgin Islands.

Mango Mojo is smoke free and fabulous.

PERFECT VACATION!

The entire process was convenient and friendly. As soon as she opened the door we were awe struck with the gorgeous view from every room in the house. Sun enveloped the rooms from large windows, in every room, all with drapes for evenings. The kitchen was more than adequate with dishes, cutlery and every spice you would need. The beach chairs were in fine condition and were a nice bonus. We’ve been coming to St John for years and never had such wonderful accommodations. Pack a bathing suit, toothbrush and shorts set and you’re good for a month or more!!! PERFECT VACATION!!!

Stunning views, perfect location!

We will stay here again if it is available - loved the views, and the condo had everything that we needed! It is located on a very steep hill, and pulling into and out of the parking can be a little challenging, but it only takes a few minutes to walk into town. We are looking forward to a return trip someday - thank you!

Stayed with 3 couples total. The property manager was very helpful getting us checked in and oriented with cab contacts, etc. The property was clean. The beach chairs were in good condition. The cooler was large enough for anything we wanted to haul. The view was great. Some people may not enjoy the roosters or steep hill, but we didn’t mind.

First time on St John and Mango Mojo Villa did NOT disappoint!

This was our first time visiting St John. Our concierge, Kelly was not only very helpful with any questions we had throughout our stay, but she provisioned the Villa prior to our arrival which was a HUGE plus! The villa was very clean with beautiful views. We had everything we needed during our stay when we decided to cook in for some of our meals. We would love to make a repeat trip to St John and rent Mango Mojo again!

Rental was great! This was our third time to St John. We have stayed at Grand Bay twice and then this rental. Layout and size of this rental was a huge benefit, only draw back of it was the steep hill to get to it. Took a few days to get use to it. Rental manager was just a text away.

A Fabulous Experience!

Grab this property if you can! We stayed 8 nights at Mango Mojo and couldn't imagine a better experience. The condo is luxurious, spacious, immaculate and well stocked with every amenity you would possible need. The location was perfect offering stunning views, glorious sunsets and convenient to town (a 5 min walk). Kelly was incredibly responsive, very proactive, anticipating our every question and providing suggestions and guidance along the way. I highly recommend this dondo. We would go back in a heartbeat!

Thanksgiving family vacation

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. The condo is beautiful and we didn't want for a thing. They walls are thick so we all felt like we had privacy even with my adult children partying in the next room. My only issue at all is the location. It worked well to be so close to town. But the parking was on a steep incline and there was only room for 1 car. The hill walking into town is a steep one as well. We worked through it. And still had a lovely time! I would definitely recommend staying here!

Pretty perfect!

Our family came back to St. John to snorkel again. While we had stayed in very nice rental houses a 10-minute drive from Cruz Bay in the past, we wanted to be closer to town. Indeed, we walked to dinner and/or lunch almost every day—there is a steep hill coming back up— the younger folk zipped up it and the older folk just took it a little more slowly. It was an enjoyable way to finish off a meal. The condo itself was nicer than both houses we’d previously stayed in with a very comfortable, spacious flow to the general living spaces, plus a well-appointed kitchen and generous bedrooms and baths. We appreciated being met at the car rental place so we could follow the woman to the condo. She filled us in and answered questions, too. The pool was quiet and enjoyable, the balconies sublime. Many thanks!

Wonderful Week in St. John!

What an amazing home away from home for the week. It was our first trip to St. John and we left a little piece of all 7 of our hearts here. Mango Mojo was a perfectly appointed, spacious condo for 4 adults and 3 kids. The owners thought of EVERYTHING. A well stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare breakfast each morning, pack sandwiches & snacks for beach lunches each day (the massive cooler & plentiful ice packs provided was a huge bonus), and make a few family style dinners in. We provisioned the house upon arrival and hit the ground running each morning to explore different hikes and beaches along the North Shore, knowing that we had a comfortable, cool, serene place to relax at the end of the day. The proximity to Cruz Bay and all the shops, restaurants and bars was perfect and Kelly & BJ were awesome. The guest book was a wealth of information and we enjoyed all the books and literature about the island, it's hikes, beaches and wildlife. What a blast it was for the kids (and adults) to return home each night and point out all the fish & coral we saw snorkeling that day! It was our first time here, it won't be our last, and I'm pretty certain we won't look any further than Mango Mojo for next time's accommodations. Thank you!

Our first St John vacation

This was our first vacation on St John. I’ve been to the USVI and BVI many times. This was excellent and would stay here again for a few reasons. We have 2 college aged kids, and one is married (5 of us). Our family enjoys snorkeling, fishing, and hiking. The condo was perfect for us. Kitchen was well equipped. Beach towels, chairs, blue ice, cooler bags, & grill are great features we utilized. We ate breakfast at the condo and packed a lunch. We walked to dinners at the Beach Bar, Longboard, Cruz Bay Landing and Woody’s (we gave them our catch from our fishing trip). All very good and would recommend. We had 2 planned outtings (recommended by the host), The Bad Kitty (Best of BVI) and fishing with Just Fish. I highly recommend both. Book the fishing trip early, then you can eat it throughout the week. We also brought our catch to Woodys and they prepared it for us. We caught Mahi, wahoo, Tuna, barracuda, and a sailfish. We hiked Reef Bay Trail. Lots to see, trail was cool and covered, hermit crabs by the hundreds at the bottom. We snorkeled at Maho, Hawksnest, and Cinnamon. All excellent - saw turtles, tarpon, rays. A couple other suggestions- rent a jeep. It was about 530 for the week. We rented at National by STT. We stopped and Cost U Less for groceries. We ordered in advance and picked it up. Way better than waiting in line.

An Elevated Experience

For those not familiar with St John (we’ve been 4 times) they are excellent hosts at Mango Mojo. You’ll have no worries the moment you arrive at the Cruz Bay ferry dock, and the views are exactly as advertised. There will be zero surprises about the facilities unless you count the many “pleasant” surprises. Beach gear galore, and a nice 10-12 minute walk into Cruz Bay. My wife and I are in our early 60’s and the hills in the neighborhood are extreme, but so is every place that has a spectacular view, plus you can burn a few calories after dinner and drinks so you’ll look better on the beach! We can’t wait to get back and see our buddy Chico, the best taxi on the island, recommended by the hosts. We have no reservations about five stars across the board.

Perfect condo for a family

Absolutely loved this place. Beautiful inside and so comfortable. The patio was amazing. It had EVERYTHING you could ever need. Beach chairs, floats and cooler included. Only issue we had was walking the hill so we called Chico and he drove us everywhere! (Son is amputee so the steep hills were brutal for his leg) our Host Kelly was precious and knew everything! The pool was perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Dave & Sharon Ober

Host profile image
Welcome to our slice of paradise, Mango Mojo!
We hail from the east coast of the U.S. -- Dave is originally from Maine, and Sharon from Virginia. We currently live in Reston, VA. We've been blessed to be able to travel far and wide. Sharon always falls in love with the location and wants to buy a place, and Dave always says NO! St. John was the first place that Dave not only said YES, but it was his idea!!! :)
We have an amazing on island manager - Kelly - who takes exceptional care of our guests.

Why they chose this property

We have been to other islands in the Caribbean, and were married on Virgin Gorda back in 2002. We didn’t visit St. John until 2014, and immediately fell under its spell! The warm and friendly people, the stunning beaches and crystal clear waters, the turtles (love swimming with the turtles)! The relaxed vibe and great restaurants. The lush, unspoiled natural beauty protected by 7,000+ acres of National Park. We hope that you delight in this amazing jewel of an island, and our home, as much as we do. It truly is a special place.

We purchased this condo in 2016, and put our heart and soul into completely transforming it into an elegant and comfortable home away from home. We made it exactly as we would want it, and are pleased to share it with you.


What makes this property unique

We love many things about this specific location: the ability to walk to the many restaurants, shops and services in town, yet still be in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood; the intimate size of the condo complex and lovely pool; the soaring cathedral ceilings and hilltop breezes of the penthouse unit and the spacious layout. But what ultimately sold us are the VIEWS! Two private balconies offer a spectacular perch for watching breathtaking sunsets, brilliant starry skies, glittering cruise ships at night on their way to southern ports of call, and ferries as they traverse in and out of Turner Bay. It's mesmerizing.

We named Mango Mojo after our sweet cat Mojo. The black cat print in the master bedroom reminds us of him and makes us smile.

We hope you enjoy our happy place.
