Quick trip to look at a property.

Fabulous view! Clean! Easy walk to town. Careful if you have long hair because you will NOT get your hair washed before the hot water is gone so my advice is wet it and turn off water. I would definitely stay again!! One of our favorite places so far!

"Belated" Honeymoon

Amazing location/view (Especially sunsets just across the street from driveway entrance), walking distance to Cruz Bay and Solomon/Honeymoon Beach. Our honeymoon had been cancelled and postponed twice due to COVID/Hawaii Wildfires, we wanted something tropical and St. John did not disappoint! We had such a great experience in our time on the island. Highly recommend a catamaran cruise (Dulce Vita), Coral Bay/Salt Pond and Morgans Mango for dinner, where we had two of the best meals EVER! Extremely relaxing atmosphere and very friendly locals, we will be back!
