We stayed in June 2021 and had an incredible vacation! The house was everything we wanted and more. Our 3 kids (ages 15, 12, & 11) loved their rooms and had fun in the pool. The master bedroom was amazing and the view was indescribable. We spent our whole first day at the house b/c we just wanted to relax and enjoy the view after a full day of travel.
The entire property was clean and exactly as described. Usually I think that places don't live up to those beautifully staged photos, but in this case, the villa was even better than the photos! The main room (living room/kitchen) isn't air conditioned, but there are lots of fans and doors you can open. The kitchen is well-stocked and we had everything we needed to cook a few meals.
We highly recommend chartering a boat one day (we used Island Root Charters). That was the best day of our trip! The beach snorkeling was great, but the off-island snorkeling was like nothing we'd ever experienced before! We went out on our second day and had the captain show us all the beaches and give us tons of info on what to do, when to go, and what to skip. We relied on his tips the rest of the week and our vacation went flawlessly.
There were a couple of a power outages that affected St. Thomas and St. John. One of the outages lasted almost 12 hours, but the generator came on in the villa and we didn't have even a minute without power (fortunately it was during the evening and overnight).
The only thing I wish I would have known about was the drive up to the villa. It was pretty scary the first few times. The villa is quite high up (that view though!) and there are sharp, steep turns. Of course, the entire island is like this, but we found the drive up to the house to be a bit unnerving as our first drive (especially for the kids). Our 4WD Bronco rental from Mr. Piper's Jeeps handled great and my husband drove safely, but there is no way I would have been able to make that drive (I'm a nervous driver on flat land). Just make sure you have a reliable 4WD vehicle, and a confident, sober driver and you'll be fine. After a few trips to and from town, we felt much better about the drive.
We would highly recommend this villa and would stay there again!
