What Our Guests Say: Vacation Rental Guest Testimonials

“Our stay at this vacation rental was absolutely flawless. The views from the deck were breathtaking, and the house was exceptionally clean and well-stocked. We spent our evenings cooking in the gourmet kitchen and relaxing under the stars. The host was incredibly responsive and gave us great local recommendations. We are already planning our return trip for next year!”

“This is hands down the best rental property we have ever booked. The location is perfectly situated to capture a big view of Coral Bay harbor and is easy to get to its restaurants, yet it sits nestled in the hills enough to be entirely private and peaceful. The beds were comfortable and the full-house AC was perfect after a long day of hiking.”

“The views from the villa are breathtaking. Best sunrise view on the island!! The place is clean and spotless and has everything you could need! The host is spectacular and we would love to come back!!”

“This was the most perfect spot for a perfect vacation. From the host’s quick communication, to the breathtaking views, to the beautiful apartment with snorkel equipment and beach chairs, it was just surpassed our expectations on every front. Now we just have to figure out how to get back. I wish we could give this a rating higher than 5 stars!”

“We had an amazing time here! The view looked like a backdrop. There was so much wildlife and nature right off the deck. The outdoor shower was so cool. We mostly used the deck or were out and about but the room was comfortable for sleeping and was stocked with anything we might have forgot. I was so sad to leave! I highly recommend!!”

“This was our 5th trip to St John, first time on Coral bay. The house was exactly as pictured, clean, and comfortable. The hosts were extremely prompt in their messages and very friendly. We have nothing but great things to say! We would stay again for our next St John vacation!”

“This place was beyond beautiful! I wouldn’t change a thing! The most colorful garden, breathtaking views with cooling winds, comfy bed, lux shower and close to the most blue and sugary sand beaches. So grateful to have been able to stay here. The pics don’t do this place justice, book it immediately, you won’t regret one bit!”
