We had an absolutely incredible stay. This house was in the perfect location, beautiful view and within a short drive to all the beaches. The host and property manager were incredibly responsive. Definitely recommend!
The villa was great, very comfortable, nice pool and a perfect porch to sit and drink tea in the morning. Nice layout and a well stocked kitchen. Never needed AC with the fans and the cross breezes. Terrific location, with good parking for 2 cars. The villa was spotlessly clean!
Villa was comfortable for 7, very convenient to Cruz and the beaches, and very nice views from the capacious covered porch. Host was great. Lack of AC in living room / kitchen wasn't a problem for us in January, but might be in hotter weather.
Overall a great experience, would rent again!
We loved our stay. It’s hard not to when you’re in St. John, but this house had everything that we needed and more. The view was great. The screens worked and we’re not broken letting bugs in, the pool was clean, and the host provided some of our basic needs upon arrival (paper towels, bottled water, ice) along with coolers and chairs and beach towels. The generator was essential, as the power went out one night for a couple hours, and it kicked right on. Highly recommend!
Good house, great pool set up, great location, close to town. Cons would be it def needs some updating and TLC. 2 Twin bedroom and futon room are completely separate from each other and the only access to both is an outside stairway. It's not ideal for small children. Overall I would stay again.
The home is located in the Chocolate Hole area, super easy to get to, amazing view and very quiet. The overall experience was wonderful! We were supplied with coolers and chairs which made our trip easy. The pool is just the perfect size. Very convenient to get to downtown Cruz Bay and groceries. We would stay there again.
Cons: The home could use some furniture updating, definitely bring your own paper towels and tall kitchen garbage bags and the downstairs bedroom sliding doors did not lock.
This was our first time on St. John which is a beautiful island with lots of hills. We always felt very safe. Gorgeous views of Chocolate Hole, a steep one mile hike downhill (not always with sidewalks). This is a great house for two couples. The other two bedrooms are outside and around the house down a set of stairs. One room downstairs was missing a screen door and thus you have to use the AC for air flow. You must rent a car, both for safety and access of the island but also to take the trash and recycling away every day.
The villa was perfect for our group! The only thing I would say is that the hot water heater needs to be checked. We took extremely quick showers and even with waiting 30 min or more between showers, there wasn’t much hot water. Other than that, it was fabulous!!!
We had a great time visiting villa Catalina. Our property hosts were responsive and helpful. The kitchen was well equipped and the views were breathtaking!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The concierge was very responsive and helpful. Pool quite a bit smaller than pictures but overall great location and quite adequate for our needs.
Property was well maintained. Had a great time. Didn’t know property was separated on two levels with needing to go outside downstairs to lower level. No easy access to bathroom from room with no bathroom, would have to go through other bedroom for bathroom. Other than that we made it work, not using that bedroom. Pool and outdoor area were awesome. If we had more than 6 we would need to stay elsewhere with easier bathroom access. Beautiful views and parking great.
Owners were quick to accommodate us after we issues with our first rental. Very nice layout on main floor. Our children were older so not an issue but you need to walk outside and down a lower staircase to 2 bedrooms in a walkout level. Keep in mind if traveling with small children. Driveway like all roads in driveways and roads is steep. Helps to walk it first when you areive. Deck is awesome, great views with well stocked kitchen
nice house for kids!, pool & basic sand toys, beach towels, coolers all provided.
nice smooth meet up & taxi followed property manager to house
thank you, Myrtle!
Myrtle and Curtis were great managers. We needed a few minor things and they were there immediately with a quick resolution. We love the view and having our pup with us. Thank you for a great 2 weeks!
Great stay, would definitely return. Private location. Tons of lush landscaping and flowers. The two bedrooms on the main floor were very spacious. Great open main living space. Third bedroom with bath downstairs needed to use stairs along side of house to get to it but outside was well lit so that was no problem. Property managers Murel and Kiarah were very nice and helpful.
The house worked out well for us. Upstairs and Main bottom level bedrooms were big. The pool was nice to have especially with the 5 year old. We could use it to keep her busy as well as cool off in the afternoon. Nice view and it was fun watching the iguanas in the trees

Had a fabulous time back in St. John!
This was the first time back to St. John since the hurricanes, having gone there for nearly 16 years with my family. Also, the first time renting a house, as we always stayed at the Maho camps before it closed. This was great. The house was perfect in all ways - great location, great views and super comfortable. We were met at the ferry with our car and although we needed a help with tires mid-week, Curtis responded immediately and fixed things in a way that never interfered with our beach time. So great to be back on the island and look forward to our next trip!
We loved our stay at Claudia's villa. The views are as advertised and are outstanding. It's a close drive to the busy and fun Cruz Bay area, and the bedrooms are spacious and beautiful. It's a challenging driveway to navigate but we got used to that and realize now that's just part of staying on the island. The downstairs bedrooms are only accessed via an exterior stair so they felt somewhat disconnected and the kitchen is just a bit dated but overall we loved our stay and would definitely return in the future. Claudia and her support staff are very responsive and courteous and were wonderful hosts. Highly recommended!
This was a overall a great property at a reasonable price with nice views. We loved that beach towels and beach chairs were provided as well as kitchenware (a few dishes were dirty, but it would have been easy for cleaning folks to miss that so not a huge deal).
The only downside is that right now the house is for sale. One of the reasons we chose this property was for the privacy, but one day a pest control worker showed up unannounced, then a realtor called us and asked if she could show the house on a certain day and time, which we agreed to, but then an additional realtor came later that afternoon without warning to show the house to some other people while I was getting in the shower.
Still overall good property and you really don't need the A/C (even though they have it) because if you let the breeze flow the house in the evenings it's quite nice.
Our family had a wonderful time at Villa Catalina. It was the perfect spot to relax and so close to the food markets and Cruz Bay as well as to the road to the beaches. The cool breeze was always blowing and only one night we had to put the air conditioning on. The only disappointment we found was in the kitchen. All of the 4 stove top gas jets could not be regulated, all you got was a flame at full blast.
And yet we found it took forever to boil a pot of water? The oven worked ok, but think it’s time to replace the stove.
There was a shortage of flatware, which we had to have the manager get additional for us. The pots and especially the pans could use an upgrade, perhaps going with teflon to make it easier for guests to clean up.
We did discover a delightful beach to swim and snorkel 5 minutes from the villa off East Chocolate Hole Road for those days when you didn’t want to drive up the beach road.
