Incredible views, amazing access to north shore beaches, trails, and easy drive to Cruz bay for boat excursions. The house was even better than expected- perfect spaces for family- common gathering areas and large bedrooms to have downtime. Kitchen was well stocked, and the host provided beach amenities (chairs, coolers, dry sacks) that were unexpected! We would love to return someday!
We echo what ever other reviewer stated. All we can say is this house is a bucket list item you didn't even know you had! The views, the location, the spaciousness, and the kindness of the owners and staff were outstanding. We also realize why everyone who's been to St. John falls so deeply in love with the island. THANK YOU!!
We had a great stay! There were many helpful amenities (detergent, beach chairs, snorkel gear, coolers, etc) and the view was gorgeous! We loved checking out the view of Tortola from the roof deck.
This house was more than we expected. Great view, lots of room, well equipped kitchen, timely response to all our questions. We hope to return to this house again!
The reviews were spot on! We loved this place! The view, house, kitchen, balcony, pool, house layoutâ- so smart! It had everything we could have ever needed. Sitting on the balcony in the day/evening listening to the tree frogs was pure zen. We will be back!!
We really enjoyed our week at this house. I never got tired of the amazing views! The house was clean and spacious and the kitchen well equipped. The pool was nice for relaxing in the afternoons. Location was 15 to 24 minutes to most of the North Shore beaches. We also enjoyed the proximity to a few great restaurants in Coral Bay. We loved being on the âquieterâ side of the island.
The house was bigger than we expected! We loved everything about the house, comfy beds, close to beaches, quiet neighborhood, all appliances were in excellent condition and no issues at all. It was so nice to come back to our home base and cool off in the pool. Our favorite part was watching the sunrise with the most magnificent view. So thankful for everything.
We had a wonderful time. Everything was perfect and the views are absolutely stunning. If you were thinking about staying in Cruz Bay or another part of town I strongly encourage you to venture a little farther away and enjoy the relaxation and beauty of the island. Driving to Coral Bay or back to Cruz Bay is really easy and I wouldnât change our itinerary a bit. We plan to stay in this property again at some point.
Palm Ridge was as advertised - a spacious, comfortable, beautiful property. The pool was great, and the location canât be beat. The view from the âupper deckâ was outstanding. Would recommend and hope to stay again sometime. Eric, the representative from James Miller properties, was helpful and responsive with any needs we had.
Everything about this whole place was magical! The house was perfect and location was perfect. Communication was great, the house was well stocked. Anything we needed was right at our finger tips.
The pictures do not even do this house justice. The views are beautiful. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Great layout for our family and teens. Would stay here again in a heart beat. The drive is definitely steep with multiple switchbacks to get to the house, but the view is worth it! Loved being so close to Maho and loved the quietness of Coral Bay.
We loved our stay at Palm Ridge! The location offers amazing views and seclusion but also a quick drive to Coral Bay! We loved the little welcome basket of goodies in the fridge! Pool was refreshing and overall we were highly Satisfied! We would rent the same
Villa again!
This was our first trip to St. John and the island and this house was absolutely amazing. Morning coffee and and afternoon cocktails by the pool with the best view was great. The living room, kitchen and bedrooms were spacious and very clean. Communication was superb and getting to the property was very easy. Highly recommend the house and can't wait to make a return trip!
We had an awesome time (first) in St. John at this property. The house was perfectly listed and check in was easy. Eric was great and helped us get from the ferry to the house as we got acclimated. If youâre on the fence, pull the trigger because the views will absolutely blow you away, canât wait to be back. Thank you for hosting us!
We loved our stay here at this house! A beautiful space, a lovely pool, and amazing views. Only challenge is the steep drive up as is common in St. John so consider a higher clearance Jeep/SUV. Our mini van made it but it was a challenge! Would highly recommend this property.
The house was everything we hoped for as far as amenities and location to our favorite spots. JP kept in touch, gave a personal walk through and left us a fantastic welcome basket. This is one of our favorite destinations and this trip did not disappoint. The views from the pool are incredible! Plenty more f books, games, chairs, cooler and a great photo book with the repairs made after hurricane Irma. Thank you for having us, it was a very special trip to our family.
We were lucky enough to ring in a new year and decade from the observation deck at Palm Ridge.
Everything about the house is great for a family. Some of the lower bedrooms are large enough to feel like their own hotel rooms.
The common areas upstairs are perfect for swimming, bbq, family dinner, and even watching an afternoon shower under the covered outdoor space.
The views go on for miles. Thanks James!
This place exceeded all of our expectations. The views are even more incredible than the pictures on the site. We saw amazing sunrises every morning and spent a lot of time just sitting out on the pool deck admiring and amazing scenery. The place was very clean and very large. It had lots of beach chairs to use and even had floats for the pool / beach and an awesome hammock. We grilled out by the pool a few nights just to enjoy the house more. It's completely secluded with a ton of parking, beautiful flowers, and just everything you might need. Do yourself a favor and stay here. You cannot beat this property.
Check in process was great, JP met us at the jeep rental place and took us up the hill and familiarized us with the house.
Even though we got to meet tropical storm "Ernesto" in person and had some island power outages, JP and the team at James Miller Properties did everything within their control to make sure we were comfortable despite the weather conditions. Not only did they warn us days before about the storm, they even shuffled some things around to accommodate us one day earlier.
Hopefully you aren't there during a storm, but if you are, the house is built strong and stands up to the harshest conditions. I found it interesting that there is not one piece of sheetrock in the entire house, it's all solid concrete. The house does have a Tesla Power wall which proved to be a nice addition that we got to sample due to the island outages.
We look forward to going back soon and will most definitely stay here again.
The pics of the views do not do this house justice. The sunrise was amazing each day. This was our first time staying on the Coral Bay side of the island and it was very close to Skinny Legs for happy hours as well as the grocery stores down there. Definitely more chill than the Cruz Bay side. Donkeys were everywhere which was great to see. The house is really close (about 10 min drive) to Maho Bay and the other beaches on the West side of the island.
Pros: Kitchen had it all, grill on deck was great for dinners, beds were comfortable, bathrooms were great, AC units worked great in the bedrooms, bluetooth speakers worked great with our phones, lots of beach chairs available, always had a good breeze through the main floor of the house because of the elevation - I was concerned about not having AC in the main room of the house
Cons: Lots of mosquitoes got into the house as a result of a screen door being off track during our stay, it rained one night and the roof leaked off the half bathroom near the kitchen, pool was slightly cold (but still refreshing once you got in) as I don't think it had a heater, ice machine in refrigerator was not working so we had to buy ice.
We would definitely go back.
