This is a fantastic property in a great location with easy access to Cruz Bay and the beaches. The house is exactly as pictured - very clean and the kitchen is well stocked. Both showers on the main level are outdoor showers, which was nice to keep the humidity out of the house. The temp is warm enough it wasn’t a problem at all, and they were also very clean. The lower level bedroom cannot be accessed without going outside. It was not a problem for us, but just something to be aware of. We loved the outdoor spaces, including the hammock chairs. I sat on the deck with my coffee and enjoyed the view every morning. The pool was cold - my son jumped in once, but that was it. The driveway is hard to find. The property manager will offer to meet you in Cruz Bay and drive with you to the house - I would recommend this. I did not do that and had trouble finding it in the dark. As others have mentioned, the driveway is very steep, as are many roads around the island. We had a Jeep Grand Cherokee, but I wish we had a Wrangler with better tires for the terrain. Overall a great property, and I would stay here again.

We LOVED our stay at beautiful Villa Mangaade! We were there for a week with our two adult children on our first visit to St. John. The location is amazing - very private and with stunning views. The house had all sorts of amenities that made our stay enjoyable, including all the beach stuff we needed (towels, chairs, cooler) and even snorkling jackets! The kitchen was well-equipped and we enjoyed cooking some dinners and eating out on the deck or by the pool. It was great coming back to the house after a day of swimming, snorkeling, hiking and jumping in the pool. A special treat was watching the hummingbirds feed on the flowering bush just outside the front door. Monic, the caretaker in St. John, was very attentive and sent us great suggestions for things to do and places to see. (Thanks for recommending we make early reservations at Morgan's Mango - fantastic restaurant). Thanks also to the owner, Melissa, for answering our many questions before our trip. We hope to come back!

We really enjoyed watching sunsets from the balcony. The landscaping is amazing and the local wildlife was friendly; we really enjoyed listening to the nighttime serenades from the coquis and birds. The rain sounded amazing on the roof. The location was perfect- about ten minutes to Cruz Bay, and we had two different routes we could go which came in handy when there was an accident blocking the road. It was also easy access to all the roads on island leading to town or towards the East End. The mango trees were amazing- so many mangoes growing (sad they weren’t in season.) The layout was great and would afford privacy to multiple couples with the bedrooms being on opposite ends of the house and one downstairs. Being able to do laundry was convenient. We cooked a few nights and all the cookware and utensils we needed was provided. The beach chairs and cooler were great as were the baskets of beach towels and pool towels. The pool was refreshing after snorkeling all day. Communication with the owner during booking process was great; she provided recommendations that were useful. Communication with property manager Monic was amazing- she was very responsive and also gave good snorkeling and restaurant recommendations. Make sure you have reef safe sunscreen and bug spray because you will definitely need both on Island. A Jeep will also be needed to navigate the Island roads and the driveway. Overall we had a wonderful stay. Thank you!

Lovely house with lovely gardens. Very private.You ever write a review and think "I can't give This a too good a review because other people will rent the house and it won't be available next time I want it for my vacation?". Well that's how I feel but the people are just too nice for me not to share the wonderful experience we had. So clean with all the conveniences you could wish for and a very well equipped kitchen. Went out with the kids at night using flashlights to find the tree frogs, sold your crabs and other critters. Hope we can get back there soon.
