10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at the property last week and it is fantastic. Donald has thought of everything and the home is very well appointed. Communication was excellent and the views can’t be beat from the second floor balcony. They also have a plunge pool which is so nice after a day snorkeling the beaches. Highly recommend this property and host."

Best views & pool deck on St John just up the hill from Cinnamon Bay Beach.

Best views & pool deck on St John just up the hill from Cinnamon Bay Beach.

10/10 Excellent
"My wife and I rented the Island Stones property for a week and were very please with how unique and and private the property was. The main level and the pool / sun deck were beautiful with fabulous views and great privacy - exactly what we hoped for ! We did not use the downstairs rooms of the property, but I will say the layout is set up where almost every bedroom is divided off to have its own separated entrance, bath, outside shower, and private balcony. I great layout for multiple couples to share. The architecture is unique, charming, romantic, and beautiful. A few items in the home could use some maintenance, but nothing significant to cause any issues with our stay at all. We have rented several houses on the islands, and this one ranks among the best for the great views and wonderful infinity pool experience. Also, it is just a few minutes drive down to several of the best beaches on the island."

NEW! MAHO BAY BEACH VILLA ST. JOHN USVI LESS THAN A 30 SECOND WALK TO THE BEACH.

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at the Maho Bay Beach Villa was absolutely amazing! The house was beautiful, spacious, and perfect for our group of two adults, two children, and a teenager. There was plenty of room for everyone, with lots of comfortable seating options throughout the house.The location couldn’t have been more convenient. Having direct beach access through the gate in the backyard was incredible, and the outdoor shower made rinsing off after a day at the beach so easy. Maho Beach was amazing—we saw multiple sea turtles every single day!The kitchen was wonderful and extremely well stocked with everything we could possibly need, which made preparing meals at the house easy and enjoyable. The villa’s location between Cruz Bay and Coral Bay also made exploring St. John convenient.This was our second trip to St. John, and staying at the Maho Bay Villa made this visit even more special. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely love to return!"

Pool Villa w/ Huge Ocean Views Just10 mins from Maho Bay Beach - AC Throughout!

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing property for our multi-generational vacation. The views were spectacular. We loved sitting outside in the evening watching the sun, go down. All of the rooms had comfortable beds and were super clean. For those who love A/C, never fear. The A/C worked perfectly in all of the indoor locations. Our kids got a kick out of the very unique shower located off the living room area. They felt like they were showering in a forest. The kitchen has every amenity you can imagine from crockpot to lemon squeezer. There is a house being built next-door, but we didn’t hear any noise the whole time we were there. I would highly recommend this property."

Francis Bay Estate: Luxury Villa! Pool! Walk To The Beach!

8/10 Good
"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I loved everything about the home except that there was no air conditioning in the kitchen and main great room. When reading the description before renting I saw that it had air conditioning, but didn’t realize that was true for only the bedrooms. Since our stay was in late July and the temperature outside was very hot and humid, air conditioning became of more importance— especially in the area where you cook and congregate as a family. The beautiful air conditioned bedrooms allowed us to get a good nights sleep. During the day, we spent the majority of our time snorkeling at the various bay and we did enjoy the pool upon our return. But, Early evening was a bit uncomfortable because cooking made the area even warmer"

The Peter Bay 1BR Honeymoon Suite at St. John's Most Prestigious Address

10/10 Excellent
"We had an incredible stay at this St. John villa and would absolutely book it again. The location couldn’t have been better—just a one-minute drive to Trunk Bay, which truly lives up to its reputation as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and only about three minutes from Cinnamon Bay. It was the perfect home base for exploring the island.The view from the villa is worth a million dollars. We looked forward to every sunrise and sunset, and the night sky was breathtaking. Seeing so many stars from the deck was one of the highlights of our trip.Our host was responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. Tommy, the caretaker, was phenomenal. He made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, answered all of our questions, and was always available if we needed anything.One tip: rent a Jeep! The roads on St. John are steep and winding, and having a Jeep makes getting around easy and lets you explore everything the island has to offer.If you’re looking for an amazing villa with spectacular views, an unbeatable location, and outstanding hospitality, this is the place to stay. We can’t wait to come back!"
