Air conditioning throughout the entire home with individual controls of the temperature in each bedroom keeps you comfortable and cool. You truly get the best of both worlds at Be As You Are: while offering our guests some of the best views of the island’s sunsets, green hillsides and turquoise waters, you are still only a short walk to town where there are incredible restaurants, shopping and nightlife!

This was our first time visiting the Virgin Islands and St John. The trip was part of celebrating my 80th birthday with our family; my wife & I, our son, our daughter & son-in-law and our college age grandson. The villa was fabulous, just as described and just as beautiful. We loved it! We stayed 5 nights, doing island tours, spending time on Cinnamon Bay Beach, a sailing/snorkeling yacht charter and of course eating too much in various restaurants. The villa had everything we needed for beach supplies, linens, kitchen supplies, etc. etc. We had breakfast in the villa and once or twice dinner or lunch; we bought a few groceries, and the kitchen was well equipped. We especially enjoyed to views from the balcony and the pool was very nice. The street out front was steep as we expected but manageable. The management company’s greeter did a walk-thru when we arrived and answered all our questions. Later when we had other questions, they were very helpful and great to work with. Really can’t say too much about how beautiful the villa is and how much we enjoyed our stay !!

We were very happy with Be as You Are for our group of 9. It was a perfect set up and plenty of space to spread out. There were a couple of small issues that were fixed promptly when I mentioned them. The walk to and from town is definitely a workout but we didn't mind it and never took a taxi :). The view was stunning as well! We have no complaints and can't wait to be back!

The condo was perfectly spacious for the four couples. Everyone felt like they had plenty of space and even though one of the bathrooms is shared between two of the bedrooms, it was a large bathroom. The unit was very well stocked with everything we needed to enjoy the beaches. The pool was great and the view was beautiful! Be mindful that the unit comes with one parking spot so be sure and discuss that up front. The management company was amazing! Very communicative and helpful. Would highly recommend!

Very nice property, well maintained, walkable to downtown Cruz Bay restaurants.
Property manager was very helpful. There was no hot water at the property on the first day… Kelly was able to get a plumber out to replace hot water heater, days before Christmas, to rectify the issue.
My low rating for location is driven by the fact that this property sits on top of an extremely steep hill (4 wheel drive vehicle at a stop slides on the hill). I have never seen anything like this in my life. All roads in St John are hilly… but this one takes first prize. Parking is an absolute hazard. I gave up trying to park in the space provided and opted to parallel park next to an abandoned vehicle adjacent to the property for the week.
