Clean, spacious, beautifully furnished and fabulous views. We felt like we were in paradise the whole week! Jovanna was a pleasure to deal with and was there for any of our needs. We will be back!!!
This is our second visit to Pura Vida. Beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable. Property managers were very pleasant and responsive. As usual St John did not disappoint. Looking forward to returning next year.
It was again a lovely vacation for us. The home is beautiful, and the pool is perfect. We wanted a quiet, relaxing time, and that is what we got. Even with planning ahead, we were only able to rent a car for 5 of the 11 days we were there, but since we were content being at the house, that was fine with us. For those who have children and\or like more action, you would really need a car to get to the beaches and the downtown restaurants and shopping area. For us older folks, it met our needs perfectly.
This property is fantastic for 2, 3 or 4 people. Nicely and comfortably decorated. Unbeatable views. Great pool and deck. Well stocked and very nice kitchen. Very clean. Very comfortable beds and furniture. Great location on the island. Host and local property manager are superb. We spent 3 weeks and didn't want to leave. Would definitely come back.

My husband and I recently stayed at Pura Vida. We had a wonderful stay. The property is as described. We found the location convenient. The home was well equipped.
We really enjoyed our stay! It worked well for 4 adults. The 2nd bedroom is very small, but it is very private and worked for us. A few more hooks in the bathroom and/or bedroom (2nd bedroom) would have been nice. The pool and deck area are beautiful and we used the area a lot to relax after a fun day. The villa is very modern yet has an island feel. It was extremely clean, and the kitchen had everything we wanted. We loved our trip and recommend staying at John and Maura's!
Loved the pool, space, landscaping, and location. We watched football in the evenings and TV Dish goes in and out every 5 minutes. The second bedroom is isolated from the rest of the house so our 10year old daughter unpacked and showered in the second bedroom but slept with us.
We had a wonderful stay! The place was exactly what we were looking for. Nice quiet spot, plenty of privacy, nice view, and the pool was a big plus. Would recommend to anyone.
We enjoyed everything with our stay. The crew was excellent to work with and answered any questions we had. The location was ideal. The house, pool and grounds were impeccably kept up.
Our stay at Pura Vida was lovely. The property and house are beautiful, and the views are stunning. Our kids loved having access to a pool and the house had everything we needed to eat in when we wanted to. We hope to come back soon!
My Wife and I throughly enjoyed our stay. The location was close to downtown shopping and restaurants. We visited several beaches with ease and loved returning to the pool at the home to cool off. Highly recommend the home and host.
This is a beautiful property and comfortable house. We have stayed here several times and love the addition of the pool! It is very conveniently located near a grocery store and a short drive to Cruz Bay and the Shore beaches. Highly recommend.
Amazing property and location, close to Cruz Bay, but very private at the same time. We loved the walking trails to Hart Bay and Chocolate Hole! We will certainly be back again!
Beautiful in every way! Pura Vida is comfortable and elegant.
This property has everything you need. Views for days, great location, comfort, charm, history. Pura Vida is the most beautiful and relaxing property we've ever stayed on in St John. You won't be disappointed.
This property is amazing! Very conveniently located. Property manager, Tori, was extremely helpful and accessible for questions during our stay. We could not have been happier with this property and stay in St. John. We will definitely be back!
After finding St. John several years ago on an anniversary trip - and falling in love immediately - we were thrilled to purchase this wonderful and historic home in Chocolate Hole. Our villa is set on an extremely unique piece of property, with tremendous privacy, yet fantastic ocean views as well.
We live in Myrtle Beach, SC and have 8 children together - all 8 are now in college or beyond. We travel to St. John as frequently as we can as this is our favorite place in the world!
We love our Island home and we know you will love it also. We are particularly excited to have built a pool on our property - a dream we've had since purchasing it in 2013.
We chose this property because it is extremely unique for St. John. While all properties are beautiful on this island, this house caught our attention immediately as we drove up the long driveway, past the historic ruins to the expansive yard and surroundings. It is truly a private sanctuary in which to enjoy the island and all it has to offer. Additionally, the location is absolutely ideal for getting to Cruz Bay and the North Shore beaches.
The open floor plan is ideal for a gathering or simply relaxing and viewing the ocean. Enjoy the walking trail to Hart Bay. The screened sitting area is ideal for a late afternoon cocktail, for sitting and enjoying a book, or for taking a nice nap while enjoying glorious breezes and viewing the lovely landscaping. It's a very quick trip to Cruz Bay - great for an evening of dinner or activity. The house is equipped with everything you will need for a wonderful vacation - beach chairs, coolers, snorkel equipment, and a fully stocked kitchen in which you can prepare any meal of your choosing.
