Perfect place to stay while visiting St. John! The hosts were very friendly, stayed in communication and made sure we had no problem getting to our villa. You have everything you need for a fun or relaxing beach day already there for you and can walk to Cruz bay where all the shops and restaurants are located if you didn’t want to drive, perfect location. Will definitely be back!

Amazing Villa
My husband and I really enjoyed the villa. We have been coming to St. John for many years and this place has become one of our new favorite places to stay and will definitely return to it. It was very spacious and we absolutely loved the indoor/outdoor feel with keeping the doors open. Most times there was a constant breeze so we were able to leave them open most of our trip. The place had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time there.

Indoor outdoor living with a view!
Absolutely loved our stay! Location was perfect! Make sure you understand how to walk to town without walking the large hills. The view and openess of the fresh air was one of our favorites about the property. Perfect space for our family! Would definitely rent again.

Wonderful for a reasonably fit couple
We rented this villa for a weeklong trip to celebrate a major anniversary. We found it comfortable, squeaky clean, well equipped and tastefully decorated. The size is perfect for a couple, though a family on a budget could use the pullouts in the living room and make it work. The screened wrap-around porch has a lovely view of an inlet and the surrounding mountains, with a bit of open ocean, and the pair of swings are a fun touch.The walk to town is reasonably easy, and there's a wooded footpath about a block from the rental, which leads to a small bird sanctuary and beach. By car, it's an easy trip through town to access the National Park sites, though the road out of the neighborhood is in extremely poor repair, so probably best for renters who can withstand a little jarring. Ability to climb stairs is also a must.The owner was very responsive when we contacted her with questions, and we would gladly rent from her again if we returned to St. John.
Excellent communication from host. Nice view of the ocean. Stay Salty was a sweet option for comfortable accommodations.

Getaway!
It was a perfect place for our little vacation! It was close enough to walk to town and had a lovely porch that I spent most mornings reading on. Would definitely stay again!
