By the end of summer Hurricane Maria had hammered the island and the ocean had a new home in the Blue Turtle pool. Thankfully this April the beautiful beachfront property (and the pool) were back looking beautiful! If you're heading to St. Croix I totally recommend this place (just not the same time as me, ). I seriously cannot wait for the opportunity to come back to Blue Turtle-fully furnished and all the gear a family needs to have a great time in the ocean. It really was a relaxing week...this place is Heaven. https://www.facebook.com/BlueTurtleBeachHouseSTX/

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'll definitely be making this our yearly vacation spot.

The rooms were clean and AC worked great. There is a laundry room available to use as well as a pool & hot tub for guests. It has its own beach front access & lounge chairs available to use free. Our favorite place was Rico's bar located next to the pool. He gave us the best recommendations and we had such a great time hanging at the bar with him. Definitely stop by for a drink at Rico's bar! Personally I wish it was located closer to the main road but we had a rental car so it wasn't a big deal. We stayed on the 3rd floor bldg Y. Our room had a fridge.

Booked through AirB&B so this experience might not be the same for members. We got to the resort…read moreeasily from the airport via taxi. We were allowed to check in 2 hours early, so that was a plus. The lobby is small but has cold water, a small lounge, a bathroom and an ATM. But no concierge (front desk person: "I don't know where she is--I haven't seen her in a long time.")--so had to figure out everything ourselves. They had a concierge contact us from one of their sister properties but she never texted back when I asked about a time to connect. Only one restaurant was open on Sunday when we arrived so we were barely in time to order before they closed. The dive shop was supposed to be open but was not. Even though we were advertised a late check-out, we only got 30 more minutes so stored our bags and went into town as they did not have guest showers on property to be able to enjoy the beach after we checked out. The room was nice, clean, and spacious for a studio king. The kitchenette had a blender, toaster, coffeemaker, small fridge, and cups/plates/silverware etc. Bathroom had towels, shampoo, conditioner, bar soap, and lotion. Room had a safe. There was a dresser and end tables and a small table and chairs inside. On the balcony, there was a table and chairs and one chaise lounge chair. Each room has its own air conditioner. The property is built into a hill but relatively easily accessible (not ADA accessible but not crazy) despite the stairs. The grounds were well-maintained and the pool was a decent size and clean. At first I was not impressed with the beach because it was a bit rocky especially on one side and had lots of boats on the bay, but after touring four other properties on the island, I realized ours was the best we had seen. The lounge chairs are adequate and towels are provided both in your room and at the front desk. The shore is dotted with trees for natural shade if you want it. The water is clear but a bit rocky. The dive shop offers snorkels, boat rentals (kayaks, SUPs, and paddle boats), sand toys, sundries like sunscreen and tampons, and gear like hats and shirts and waterproof bags. They also offer snorkeling excursions departing from other nearby properties. Shout out to the attendant working the shop this week--he gave us great recommendations. No market or store on property--go into Red Hook (small nearby town) to the shops. Also, warning, you can't go to the glamorous property next door even to have lunch as they do not allow visitors on property. The two restaurants onsite were fine for our needs. One is pizza and sandwiches (Sangria's) and the other is more upscale (Caribbean Fish Market). But definitely recommend going into Red Hook to enjoy the local cuisine! I would recommend this hotel for a less expensive option than many competitors, especially if your party wants to go out and explore and do activities. The beach was the best we saw on the East End, and being close to Red Hook was a real plus. There are lots of options to take a boat road or the ferry to St. John and it's a pretty quick ride. If you want an immersive, pampered experience, this place isn't likely for you. But this is a good home base to enjoy all that USVI has to offer.

We were a little unsure of what to expect when we went through McLaughlin for our villa on this past trip. But now cannot say enough great things about them. Great communication prior to the trip, totally professional, well organized paperwork, polite, everything we wanted in a rental broker. There were some minor problems with the villa when we arrived (the hot tub didn't work) and they told us in advance, apologized, and had someone out to fix it the next day. The last few times we went through another broker (Windspree) and whenever there was an issue with a villa (occasionally more serious like no hot water or broken air conditioning) it was like pulling teeth to get someone on the phone...and then getting something fixed just didn't happen without more than a little aggravation and wasted vacation time. McLaughlin was the complete opposite. We will 100% definitely use them again on our next trip to St John.

GREAT ACCOMMODATIONS…read more Renting a condo in St. Croix was the best idea since it's like living in a home while you're on vacation. The Sugar Beach Condos are located just 5 minutes north of Christiansted, but about 25 minutes from the airport. Luckily a driver from the Olympic Rental picked us up at the airport. The check in at the condos was quick, and we were in our unit within minutes. It was a comfortable one bedroom with kitchen, laundry facilities, and a nice veranda overlooking Buck Island, Gallows Bay and Christiansted. The location is great, even though there were tenement apartments about half a mile away. But the condo was positioned so that you always get the trade winds. In our 9 days we used the AC only one day, did two loads of laundry, and two loads in the dishwasher. The king size bed was comfortable, and the sleeper sofa was convenient for guests. There was a pool and club house, but we never used it. The beach is just outside the veranda, and some units have direct access to the water. Parking is convenient and the grounds were well kept. My only qualm is living with furniture that's dated and a very small and dark bathroom. I would definitely return and perhaps try another unit, maybe a studio at half the cost for the 1 bedroom.

Our condo held 6 people, two in the master bedroom, and four in the extra room (with a pullout bed). Both rooms were welcoming and nicely decorated. We had two bathrooms in out our condo, the master bathroom had two sinks, a large jacuzzi, shower and a toilet. The other bathroom had everything but the tub. We had enough TP for a few days, and then needed to go out and buy more. We also ran out of soap and lotion, so we ended up buying a bottle at the store. No cleaning service came, so we had to fend for ourselves, which meant we also had to wash and dry the towels they gave us. The kitchen was spacious, a large full sized island, coffeemaker, dishwasher, and refrigerator, just excellent! The owners provided us with all the needed utensils (forks, knives, spoons, plates, etc). We ate at home for most of our meals. Each room is secured with a numeric padlock and a screen. Our back patio had an excellent view of the beach. The beach and pool accommodations were outstanding! White sand beaches, hammocks, lounge chairs, and kayaks (if they came in your rental). A historic sugar mill leans over the beautiful pool, the pool was very large, but had no hot tub. Tennis courts were available on the outskirts of the property, but as of March 2019 were not in service and very rundown. The security staff, although small, was nice and friendly. A great place to stay for a family of 2-6, wonderful! Thanks Leslie!

Siren Song Villa is absolutely an awesome getaway for two. The Villa has everything you can think…read moreof and more - from beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and bag to a blender, champagne glasses, cookie tray, and an ice cream scooper. There is absolutely nothing you need to travel with other than your sun glasses and bathing suit. The Villa appears to have recently been remodeled. There are brand new kitchen appliances that my wife and I took full advantage of while visiting. We stayed in Siren Song Villa for a week and only ate out for two meals. We took great advantage of the provided cooler making sandwiches for lunch on the beach. The basic spices and condiments came in great use and saved us a lot of money from buying them all.  The bathroom was impeccable as well. It too looked newly renovated. Most importantly, in my eyes at least, the water pressure was superb. There is a large dispenser on the shower wall providing good quality shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Making it one less thing to pack or purchase. The bedroom is where we spent most of our time when we were inside the Villa simply because there was so much to do we were always out and about, or sitting and/or eating on the absolutely stunning balcony (I'll get to the balcony in a second). Regarding the bedroom, the bed was extremely soft and comfortable. If it wasn't for the breathtaking views and sounds of the ocean that you awake to every morning we would never of gotten out of bed. The living and eating area was nice and roomy. I would like to say fortunately we didn't spend much time in this space. Like I said before, most of our time was spent taking advantage of the balcony. Like every other room the owners significantly thought about the guests here too. Provided is a television, wiFi, Netflix, Roku, a deck of cards, scabble, dominoes, and an abundance of literature that we took advantage of reading while sitting on the balcony planning our next excursion. The main attraction of Siren Song Villa was without a doubt the awe-inspiring views from the balcony. We couldn't spend enough time on the balcony. We began our days there having breakfast and ended most our evenings there having a candle lite dinner watching the sunset and having one last glass of wine or beer while star gazzing listening to the waves crashing against the rocks below. The memories alone of sitting on this balcony starring over the teal blue waters of the Caribbean and Atlantic Oceans at St. John and Jost Van Dyke make me want to plan my next vacation back to Siren Song Villa. Pros: Siren Song is located close to the end of the road away from the pools making it quiet and private. Cons: Due to St. Thomas' terrain Point Pleasant Resort, like most resorts in St. Thomas, is located on a hill. Therefore, there are steps to climb to the pools and beach. Thankfully, there are absolutely no steps up or down to Siren Song Villa from the parking lot. Recommendations: Moe's supermarket in Red Hook, Linquist Beach, Sugar Beach, Rental car for duration of trip, Margaritaville Restaurant (wear flat enclosed water shoes if you're going to walk along the beach- if it's high tide you may have to step into a few inches of water for a yard or two), Point Wellness Spa, and the middle Pool. Over rated: Magen's Bay Beach Don't forget: Ice for the cooler, sandwich bags.

We stopped by a beach for lunch and did some sight seeing with caves where he told us some stories about the attractions. The level of accommodation was also stellar as he was able to be flexible with our needs. Some of our friends were sea sick and requested to be dropped off a beach to relax and picked up later. The captain planned our day around that and helped to keep time of when we would go pick up our friends. The coral reefs were so vibrant and we saw so many fishes in the ocean. The captain made us feel safe that he has our back in case we swayed too far from the boat or needed help. I am not a swimmer but the boat had noodles and life jackets that he did not mind taking out and putting away as we went about our day. I appreciated how respectful the captain was about the island and the rules implemented such as reef safe sunscreens, no touching the turtles and so on. We had a great time and learned a thing or two! Towards the end of the trip a friend realized he had forgotten something on the boat and sonic charters helped us locate the boat and captain to retrieve it. Coming from nyc, it would have been long gone but glad we got it back. We had a great time, I would recommend them for anyone visiting and want their own boat to get away from the crowds.
