So while the unit is cute, the 5 stars goes to Vacation VI and Ginger. We had quite the scenario at check in and Ginger was able to make what was a horrible first impression turn in to a much better situation. We would book through Vacation VI 100%.
The cottage is cute. We had some power issues with fans upstairs and outlets. The mosquitos are bad. We stayed at 2 places in St John and the mosquitos here are worse than the beach at dusk.
Overall landscaping is over grown. Really needs a once over. The goats don’t roam on the property to help with the yard.
Would not recommend. The biggest issue was mosquitos. The outdoor shower and toilet were a breeding ground with visible standing water underneath the decking. We bought tons of off spray and citronella candles but they were no match and we had to leave 4 days early. There is a 1/2” open gap in the front door so we could not get relief inside. The property management company mentioned the rainy season may have caused the mosquitos but we didn’t have the mosquito issue anywhere else on the island. Check in was a bit confusing with no street names and no address. We expected we’d have to turn the ac off during the day, but the owner waited until we after arrived to ask us to keep the temp at 78 degrees overnight. We keep our ac at 68 at home. We wish the hosts was more transparent ahead of time so we could have packed accordingly. They host recommended we us to purchase citronella candles and bug spray but the the local stores had very limited options.
The place was absolutely stunning from the decor to the views. Unfortunately we weren't able to stay there due to the tesla solar system malfunctioning. No fault of the host. He did put us up in an alternate place but was very disappointed. It had many steps, zero view (side parking lot) no balcony to sit & watch sunrise/sets. No privacy or washer/dryer. It was clean just felt like a hote lroom back home. Wasnt the experience i was on island for. Airbnb only gave me a 30% refund due to not having a washer dryer. Better then nothing. Would i rent again? Absolutely!! If the solar system is operating properly, im there!! Justin did everything he could to make our stay comfortable just wouldn't have chosen the alternate place as a place i would have rented on my own.
Response From: VacationVI
There was an island wide power outage and the solar backup was not working at the property. We were able to move the guest to accommodations that had a generator and we paid for the alternate accommodations. In most instances, we are not able to alter accommodations especially in the case of power outages, which do happen on St John from time to time. We did all that we were able to best accommodate Darlene given the circumstances. She was in communication with us and appeared to be appreciative of our efforts. After checking out, she then contacted Airbnb requesting for us to give her a refund, left a bad review and privately requested that we work something out with her in the future.
Justin went above and beyond as the ultimate host. He text’d us immediately upon arriving to the airport. Due to an act of nature (lightening storm), the power was out in this beautiful place, but Justin accommodated us in an equally beautiful place that we fell in love with! Justin let us use the cooler & chairs from the home, which was so nice! He also bought us a nice dinner for the inconvenience. The views from Justin’s place are absolutely amazing 360 degrees of St. John set up on a hill. We will be back to enjoy this place again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay on the island. The house has an incredible view and we loved the outdoor living space. It’s conveniently located just a 5 min drive from Cruz Bay, grocery stores, and restaurants. The hospitality service that comes with the rental made booking a boat snorkeling tour and island Jeep tour extremely easy, and they were both excellent! The house was clean, well stocked with everything you need to cook or grill, and our kids loved the loft space. We would book again in a heartbeat!
great views!!
This was an amazing home with world class views, close proximity to Cruz Bay and packed with all the amenities you could need. The outdoor living space was beautiful and really let us still enjoy all the beauty of St. John while unwinding at the end of the day. The interior was well stocked and nicely decorate with the loft being perfect for our daughter. The home is only 3 minutes from the center of Cruz Bay so you can quickly get into town for groceries or dinner. Otherwise it is easy to get to Shore or Centerline roads to get around the island. I would absolutely come back and stay at this beautiful home.
We have stayed many places on the island and this is definitely one of our favorites. The view is AMAZING and the outdoor area is so relaxing!
The house was a lot of fun. We loved the eating and TV porch. The views are spectacular.
Justin was very responsive when needed. He answered all of our questions.
St John island is a special place. This house was a great place to stay and explore.
This cottage was one of the best places we have stayed at on St. John. It’s easily a quick 3-5 minute drive down to Cruz Bay to shop, eat and grocery shop. The cottage provided an excellent loft area with two beds which worked great for our kiddos. The deck area is equipped with a BBQ, huge dining table, surround sound music and large TV…not to mention the views of Cruz Bay and other islands! The cottage is perfect for a 4 person family and kept the kids entertained with games after a day at the beach. Again, to add the views of this cottage are amazing. 10/10 recommend.
The Cruz Bay cottage was a dream! The central location and views are top notch. The host was extremely helpful making sure we arrived safe and without any issues during our stay. We had a great week.
Don’t miss out on this incredible rental!
The views from the cottage are breathtaking… a very private locations with 40 mike views… great sunsets. A beautiful outdoor covered space with tv couch table grill etc… making breakfast and dinner outside while looking at incredible views can’t be beat! Outdoor shower was great and cottage was very comfortable.
After we found the home, was a little bit of a challenge at night, it was perfect. There is a great outdoor-living area with a grill and a big TV-screen, an outdoor shower and WC and we enjoyed our stay. Also high on the top with a great view! Really a great Air BnB.
We had an amazing experience! I don't think you'll find a better view on the island anywhere ... absolutely AMAZING sunsets! Justin was an incredible host and was very concerned and responsive. I couldn't give him a higher rating if I tried. Bed was comfortable, house was was immaculate, amenities were intuitive. If you want to have a great experience on St. John consider this as your home base.
