New 1-Bedroom villa with plunge pool on St John's amazing North Shore.

10/10 Excellent
"Staying at Don & Irv’s Villa was an incredible experience. The panoramic views from the property are STUNNING. The Villa itself is so nice, the nicest we have ever stayed in and the pictures do not do it justice. It was a pleasure meeting Don. He was kind, super helpful, and very accommodating. Madison and I are convinced it is the prettiest and best stay on the island."
