10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2022
Our 2 family group of 8 had a great stay here. Beautiful pool area and views, very private, nicely laid out interior was better than it appeared in the photos. Had an issue with water pressure that was quickly addressed- very responsive and efficient communication. Easy 10min drive to cruz bay. The road leading up to the property is steep but one quickly gets used to it. Having a jeep/4wd recommended. Would definitely stay here again.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2021
Le Lapin is gorgeous-beautiful house, stunning views, great pool, well appointed kitchen. 4 en suite bedrooms each with an east-facing deck. The drive up the hill is not for the faint of heart! We had other friends in another house nearby & visited many snorkeling spots. We were here during Covid, so the privacy was great. If you want to be close to or be able to walk to town, this is not the house for you. If that’s not important, I highly recommend.
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2017
Our last minute booking of Le Lapin was made easy by the property management company. So responsive and helpful. This villa is perfect for families with young children because of the interior access to the bedrooms. Great layout for our family of five (we could have easily brought the grandparents too - plenty of space). Gorgeous views from wrap around porch. We would definitely stay here again.
