10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
We had a great stay in The Palms South. We were very comfortable with all the amenities needed to make our stay comfortable. The highlight was the beautiful views from the patio and the living room windows. We loved the Hot Tub and the many amenities offered, we used there snorkel equipment, kayaks and rented a car from them. It really was convenient and easy. We definitely plan to return!

My family from 3 different states wanted to gather for Christmas in the Virgin Islands. I wanted to stay on St. John since we have stayed on St Thomas last year. The Villa was lovely and had everything we needed for our stay. Kitchen was well supplied with equipment we needed. Loved having a cooler and beach chairs ready to go!
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2022
We could not have picked a better place for our active family. Being in such a great place, right on the beach and our private cove, was amazing!!! The hosts were great, and it couldn’t have gone better. Absolutely recommend!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2022
House was stocked well. the kitchen had everything you need to cook(no nonstick pans but I know how hard it is for a rental to have them)
Beach towels, snorkel gear, beach chairs for everyone. We thought that the construction may be an issue but it was not at all. Great having TVS in all the rooms. Great location!!
