Beautiful property and exactly as described. We loved the pool and amazing views. The kitchen was well appointed and everything was very clean. We had 3 couples and there was plenty of space for everyone to enjoy being together. We would definitely love to stay there again!
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
This was such an amazing property with excellent attention by the property managers. We spent 6 days here in April 2026 with our daughter and grandkids. The pool and sleeping accommodations were perfect! The kitchen was so nice. The only upgrade I would suggest is for new skillets and bakeware. The location is excellent for driving to a different beach every day. We actually ran out of water one evening, but the response time from the property management company was super fast. The tank was refilled in a couple of hours! Excellent customer care! We love St John and were thrilled to share the island experience with our family. Thank you! I highly recommend this home!

Absolutely beautiful property; great view and responsive communication with owner.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
We had a wonderful time with 4 adults and 2 kids. The house was the perfect size for our group and was exactly as pictured. The island was struggling with power issues all week but we had no trouble at the house with some help from the Tesla backup and just keeping things turned off when we were at the beach during the day. The property manager did a great job checking in on us during our stay and we felt well taken care of. We absolutely will plan to be back! The house was beautiful and easy to access from town.
