We were very impressed with the condo. It was exactly as advertised, and so clean. The location was perfect. Everyone was so nice and helpful. We will definitely be going back.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
The room was great. Good location. You could see some of Cruz Bay burning you wanted a full view that could be seen from the pool. We were out every day anyway so it really didn’t matter. It was still a pretty view. The bed was so comfy I didn’t want to leave it. lol. The only reason I have it 4 stars was not because of the room but the room above us was being completely gutted with jack hammers all day for about 4 days and then other extremely loud work. I’d check to make sure if you rent here that there won’t be ongoing renovations near you. It was solid we could hear it at the pool. They had a locker with chairs and floats which was nice. Full kitchen also. 5 minute walk to restaurants and the open air taxis so no need for a jeep really. We had done that before in the Island a couple of times but find being closer to Cruz Bay our past few times convenient. I highly recommend the unit we rented - #slomewhereinthesuncondos! Also, the host was very quick to respond which is a plus!

This was a great condo for our stay on St. John. We loved being in town and having a dedicated parking spot. The unit had everything we were looking for and would not hesitate to stay here again.
