Mango Bay: Amazing North Shore Views!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely house- cool rooms at night with AC. Wonderful breeze during the day- open air concept. Pool water temperature is cool day/night. The view is astonishing. Beds are comfortable. House is clean. Nice collection of books to read while there. Great shaded front porch with outdoor dining. The house is located just above cinnamon beach which is one of the best beaches on the island. Catered to Vacation Homes is a wonderful company to work with. The only downside is the large tree that is blocking some of the view of the Caribbean from the pool and the birds constantly trying to get in the house for food and soiling on the cushions of the lounge chairs.

The Mango Bay location is amazing overlooking cinnamon bay. Property management is very attentive and met us to drive with us to house night of arrival and acquaint us with amenities. 2 items need mention, the water pressure is very low and erratic meaning showers upstairs longer than 3 minutes will result in no water in your shower for 8-9 minutes until system recharges. A larger pump might be needed. Also, the view of cinnamon bay below is unfortunately mostly obscured due to vegetation overgrowth and would benefit from tree trimming maintenance to restore the lovely view. Otherwise highly recommend the location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything in the house is as advertised. Very nice home for the money. The only issue we had was with the air conditioning. Yes, the "main house" (LR, kitchen, etc.) is not air conditioned. Very common on St. John and opening the doors (which had screens) cools it off well. BR's are technically air conditioned. Each has an A/C "machine" in it. The problem is that the bathrooms are open air - only screens on the bathroom (shower) windows and the door to the bathroom is a louvered door. So, the little AC machine does the best it can to keep it "cool" in your room but it is really fighting a losing battle. If you are expecting a comfortably cooled room to sleep/shower in, this is not your house. For that reason, I would probably not rent this particular house again. Everything else is fantastic - location (really convenient), pool, porches, etc. Property was very clean and well maintained. Abby was manager that checked us into our villa. She was great! I would absolutely rent through Catered To again though. They had excellent communication and did everything very well!

The property did not appear well-maintained nor was it thoroughly cleaned upon arrival. Positives - the view was captivating, the pool was refreshing, and the beds were all comfortable. Negative - there is no A/C in the main room and loud A/C units in the bedrooms; the overall cleanliness was lacking; noticeable wear and tear throughout the property; multiple unannounced visits from contractors assoc. w/ Catered To Vacations - it was invasive at times.
