Everyone loved the pool so much and spent endless hours entertained by it. Kristen the rental manager is so responsive and kind. We loved working with her. We hope we can go back there again.

Our own private lomo (included in the rate) met us at St Thomas airport and took us to Red Hook where we took the ferry to St John. There Albion met us, took us on a quick tour of the island, stopped at Starfish Market to pick up staples, and then on to Bluebitch Villa. "Bluebitch" is impeccably clean, spacious and has everything you'll need for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.  A fully equipped kitchen (even a bbq), wonderful views, and a private beach that became our go-to place for a morning cup of coffee, afternoon swim or great place to read a book and watch the sun set.  We wanted to experience the culture and special spots of St. John and the information and suggestions provided were very helpful and gave us lots of ideas for our adventures around the island.   Thank you for helping create some amazing memories and a refreshing week in St. John Albion and Ann were gracious and welcoming and they made us feel like family.

We were greeted with a taxi, who whisked us to Red Hook to catch the boat to St John. We were met on St John by a lovely greeter, Denise who gave us keys to a Jeep we reserved. We followed her to Hawksbill villa, a couple of miles from town. Denise explained all features of the magnificent hilltop villa, gave us tourist information, showed us highlights on a map, and made us feel welcome. The return trip was equally expertly arranged. Caribbean Villas is a top notch villa operator and I would not hesitate to book with them on St John again.

Not only did they direct me to the right property but our reservation was the beginning of the Chinese Virus shut down for the Islands. No worries though, everyone at Caribbean Villas couldn't have been more accomodating to work with me rearranging our schedule around this crazy epidemic. We finally made our trip the first week of the opening of the USVI in September. The Property, Cinnamon was better than presented on their site. We had a couple of minor issues during the week and the local representatives where more than responsive in addressing our issues. I can't say enough good things about these folks at Caribbean Villas except we will be back! Thanks for a great job done and helping my family have a gathering of a life time.

I hope you use the list to ensure others have an enjoyable stay and find that the house was worth the money they paid. 1. Filthy kitchen cabinets - The doors and drawers showed signs of grease buildup and liquid splashes that were never cleaned. (see pic) 2. Missing slider handle. This should have been mentioned when we checked in with the expected resolution date. Instead, I had to discover it and email your office to have it fixed. (see pic) 3. All three (3) kitchen knives were worn and dull (see pic) 4. Could not control the flame on the gas stove. It appears that they installed a NG stove and did not change the orifices for propane. 5. Most of the kitchen utensils as well as the pots and pans looked like they were obtained from 'Good Will'. Miss-matched, insufficient for any size cooking and they put away dirty as well. (see pics) 6. The dinning room was advertised as seating 12 but had only 10 chairs. We were a party of 12 and I was looking forward to having a family meal together. The chairs were a safety hazard since the legs were loose and the chair could have collapsed under someone's weight. My two sons tightened the chair legs on all 10 of the chairs so that no one would get hurt. (see pic) 7. Silverware consisted of three different types plus they were put away dirty. (Good Will quality?) 8. The master bath had two conditioners and no body wash/soap (see pic) We were fortunate that my wife brought a bar of soap. 9. The 'plastic' blender container had a crack in it and leaked. Had to email to request a new one. Thank you for replacing quickly. 10. The master bath had one box of tissue which was almost depleted and no spare. Had to use toilet tissue for 8 of the 10 days of our stay. First class! 11. Unable to control the temperature in the master bedroom. The temperature was 66 degrees Fahrenheit. (see pic) The issue was never corrected during our stay. 12. The remote control on one light/fan in the master bedroom did not work, making it impossible to shut off the light. Nor was there a light switch to shut off the light. At 1:00am I am standing on a chair to remove the light cover and the light bulbs. 13. Lamp shade in dining area was full of holes. Good Will wouldn't even put that up for sale. 14. Dryer door opens in the opposite direction to remove the cloths, making it difficult to remove the cloths as well as see if anything was left in the dryer. (see pic) 15. Up to 16 pictures were removed from the walls and the nails/hangers were left in the walls. (see pics) 16. Holes in the wall in one of the bathrooms (see pic) 17. Trees on the deck need to be trimmed or removed. Constantly having to clean the deck and pool. 18. Outdoor showers have no way to sweep out the leaves that were falling from the untrimmed trees. 19. Water pressure was a trickle 20. The can opener was broken. Had to pry open the canned foods. (see pic) Just like camping! 21. Ice maker was a block of solid ice and was brown due to the rust (see pic) 22. The TV was slightly larger than my computer monitor and didn't work when we arrived. Had to call to have someone fix it. 23. The master bathroom had two sinks, two towel holders, but only one face towel. 24. My daughter-in-law found a Q-tip and a fly in the sheets of her bed. What a warm welcome. 25. Hand soap in the bedrooms was watered down. First class! 26. One month prior to my arrival I emailed Destination St. John and mentioned several items that I was very particular about and the grill was one of them. The grills tank gauge read 'empty' when we checked it since we were going to grill steaks that evening. Had to email to request a full tank and had to change our menu for the evening. 27. Wine glasses in dining area were put away dirty. My son went to use one and there was lipstick on it. We washed all of them. This house was NOT worth the $19,947.75 I paid to rent it for 10 days. The house was advertised as: "The kitchen has been completely remodeled and looks gorgeous with cherry cabinets". NO IT WAS NOT.

We never felt cramped. The location is the highlight of this home with absolutely beautiful views of the bay. Pool is very nice too. Luciah was a great property manager. We had a couple of issues, and she handled them immediately. The grill was on it's last leg but a new was delivered during our stay which shows the owners care and are updating as needed. However, we were disappointed that the hot tub was removed and we were never notified prior to our visit. We were looking forward to using it at night. Upper bedrooms have outside stone showers which was cool...you can hear the waves crash into the rocks below. My only two gripes with the home was no AC in the interior living space (bedrooms only) and very spotty WiFi. Neither would inhibit me from returning to the home, but they would definitely enhance the vacation experience for other renters. I would recommend this villa to very large families or multiple families or couples.

"Beyond Our Expectations. Wonderful!"…read more What we loved about it: - Basket of fresh fruit, crackers and cheese, chips, wine waiting for us upon arrival (so we didn't have to rush out to get provisions the first evening). There were even packages of coffee in the freezer for the next morning's cup of coffee. So thoughtful! - Beautiful, beautiful grounds - landscaping, pool, patio, bacci court (yes!) - Well designed and decorated interior with dining table on the terrace overlooking Cruz Bay, kitchen open to the living area and wall of glass doors looking out onto the terrace and the bay. - Loved the two master suites - no "fighting" over the nicer bedroom -- with the en suites and open showers. Really appreciated the high-end toiletries, the big towels, and the beach towels. - Great cooking facilities. We cooked breakfast every day and dinner 5 of the 7 days we were there - used the kitchen and the grill on the patio. Ate outside every morning/evening. - Loved the pool, sitting on the terrace, lounging in the sunshine. - Mike (property manager) recommended taking a bottle of wine and some bread and cheese up the trail behind the house to the top of the hill to watch the sunset. We did this several times and each time was a delight. - Located outside Cruz Bay, it was a quick and easy drive to and from the villa. We rented from Conrad rental, which allowed free parking in Cruz Bay at their location (at least they did the week we were there). What we hated about it: - Leaving

They pulled out all the stops! The view, as you can see from the pictures was spectacular. When you park, there is an area on the lower level where the first bedroom is, and then the door next to that is the game room. Going up the the stairs to the main entrance you'll find the main part of the house. There are only two bedrooms connected to this part of the home. If you are a person who goes to bed early, or likes to sleep in, you may want to choose another room. The main area does not have a restroom, you have to either go in the outdoor bathroom, or go in your room. Every room is named after one of the beaches. There are a total of 6 rooms. Each room has it's own bathroom and outdoor shower. There are some rooms with indoor showers as well. Only some of the rooms have a television, but I didn't find any reason to watch TV, except when we watched the Lions game and we did that as a group. The play room has a bar area (surprisingly though, no refrigerator, which would be my only recommendation.) There is a shared bathroom in the play room. There is a pool table, Foosball table, and darts. There is a TV with video games. The honeymoon suite is huge with an very big bathroom and both an indoor and outdoor shower. My room was the Francis room. You could get to that floor either by a winding staircase from the pool area (which was quite slippery some evenings) or by entering through the game room. There is a door that divides my room from the hallway entering the game room and one of two washers and dryers. The door was not up though, which did make my room less private. No big deal, except you can be taking a shower, and someone doing laundry is just a few feet away from you. Not a lot to shield you. But hey, the exhibitionist in me didn't care that much. The view while showering is simply stunning. If you are looking for an adventurous vacation destination, check out Island Stones.

The house we rented, Hakuna Matata, was beautiful, if not a little dirty upon arrival. The view was…read moreamazing, kitchen and living space lovely. However, the bedroom we ended up staying in had dead bugs all over the floor, spider webs with dead bugs hanging in them, and clearly had not been properly cleaned for some time. I understand the house we stayed in was in the national park, but it should have been cleaned. One of the bedrooms was advertised as a king, but was really two twins pushed together with a huge dip in the middle. The outdoor shower, which faced the drive way, was not private at all!! Anyone in the drive way could plainly see whoever was showering. The furniture was dated and the lighting poor. Vicki, who showed us to our home and was meant to be our contact, was terrible. She took us up route 10, which was atrocious! She claimed it was the faster way to go, when really it was the less scenic way and she just wanted to get home as it was nearly 5:00 pm. She rushes through our house tour, constantly talked over us, rescheduled our mid-week linen change, and completely avoided/ignored us when we saw her around the island.

As this is a tropical location, bring mosquito repellent and insect bite relief. You'll definitely need it - especially if you stay at Hawk's Nest, where the huge Great Room is unscreened. Great views, but an open door for bugs.
