Dwight was very helpful with directions and useful information about the home and island. The home was impeccably cleaned and we enjoyed the amenities provided.

Rest and relaxation with a view!!

We were a group consisting of 2 couples. The downstairs suite has its own entrance which we found to be wonderful for privacy for the other couple. They said they were quite comfortable and they had a nice view as well. There is another bedroom and bathroom upstairs, as well as the main living area. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed. We even were able to use the outdoor grill which has a griddle on it. The pool was clean and inviting. All of the outdoor spaces were amazing! We loved eating out on the covered porch. We were able to watch a few movies while we were there too. The outdoor speakers that you can bluetooth to were a nice touch. We are frequent visitors of St. John and this is one of our favorite rentals we've stayed at. The driveway isn't very difficult to navigate. We rented a Jeep so no issues. We've stayed places that were much more difficult to reach. lol If you want a quiet place, away from the hustle of town, and where you can sleep to the sounds of the tree frogs (love), this is a great spot. It's only a few minutes to get to the grocery and Surfside Cantina (yummy) for good eats. It was about 15 minutes to get to Maho Bay beach and about 30 minutes to Cruz Bay. Also, we had a very sweet man, Linus? (the gardener), that showed up to water the landscaping. We really enjoyed talking to him! The property manager deserves a shout out too. Awesome communication! We would 100% stay here again. Thank you! :)

A Perfect Vacation Home. The driveway up to the house is a little steep, but very easy to do. Check in was seamless. The property manager, Dwight, was in contact as soon as we arrived on St. Thomas with directions and check in instructions. The house was exactly as described. The balcony/patio has a great view and breeze, where we started every morning. The pool is a great size and the kids and adults loved lounging there after a day at the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed in addition to being well stocked with condiments, spices, and other cooking/coffee supplies. We enjoyed being able to grill burgers one night outside also. The beds and sofa bed were all very comfortable and we loved playing board games as a family at the big kitchen table. There were plenty of towels and beach towels, and it was so nice to have beach chairs and coolers available. The house has full a/c and was very comfortable day and night. The downstairs bedroom is detached from the upstairs (stairs are outside), but it didn't detract from the home at all and gave a little extra privacy. It was nice, comfortable and had a mini kitchen. There is a full laundry room downstairs also. Beautiful beaches and restaurants are all just a short drive away. We truly had no complaints and would 100% stay at On a Whim again. Enjoy!

Absolutely Perfect Stay – Every Detail Thoughtfully Planned!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home, and it looks exactly as pictured! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the owners have thoughtfully considered every detail to ensure a comfortable and seamless experience for their guests. The house is impeccably clean, stylishly decorated, and extremely well-equipped — truly one of the best-stocked vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in. Whether it was the kitchen supplies, entertainment options, cozy indoor and outdoor furnishings, beach supplies, or the Bluetooth speaker system for patio and pool side music, everything you could possibly need was already there.What also sets this property apart is the care and responsiveness of Dwight, the manager. He was incredibly attentive, quick to respond to any questions, and made sure we felt completely at home throughout our stay. It’s rare to find a vacation rental where both the amenities and the service are top-notch — but this one delivers on both fronts.We will absolutely stay here again and recommend it without hesitation. If you're looking for a worry-free, comfortable, quiet, and well-appointed home for your getaway, this is it!

A Wonderful and Relaxing Stay

Staying at the On a Whim house was a wonderful experience for our family. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided, and the extra details were much appreciated, like the weights, snorkeling gear, and coolers. The space is well laid out and very clean, and the view/location is hard to beat. Dwight, the property manager was also excellent. We ran into a water issue during our stay, and he was very quick to resolve it. We can not say enough great things about this spot and hope to visit again in the future!

Nice, updated, clean house with great views on a more secluded and quiet part of the island. Sitting on the covered outdoor patio with its views and natural breeze was delightful, so much so that we ate every meal out there. The pool was also a great place to relax (views again), especially after a beach/boating day. An updated kitchen was very helpful as well. Everything worked in the house. Overall, a very relaxing place to stay on St. John’s

Get away with friends

This property has been beautifully renovated and the furnishings are lovely. I would say that the upstairs bedroom is much nicer than the downstairs bedroom. We were splitting the property with another couple and the experience wasn’t “even/fair”. With that being said, we had a great time. We just didn’t split the rental evenly. The property manager Dwight was excellent. Responsive, polite and competent.
