Paradise at the Waters Edge
Maxine is a great host! Very responsive and cared about us. We loved the location, sitting out with our coffee in the morning watching the boats go. Lovely breeze and views of the islands. Quiet beaches nearby, restaurant and ferry only a few minute drive away. Excellent location for exploring the island. It felt like home, we would absolutely stay again!!! Our only suggestion, which Maxine was quick to respond to, were concerns with bugs in the kitchen. It's a tropical Island, so to be expected, just know that ahead of time. But it was not a big deal for us. We kept the kitchen clean, food sealed/in the fridge, brought the trash out. Other things we appreciated. The kitchen is fully stocked, had everything we needed to cook (paper towels, sponge/soap). There was snorkel gear, beach chairs, towels, a cooler, lots of leftover sunscreens, books to read, shampoo, soap, hair dryer. We didn't need much. Thank you Maxine for your hospitality! We're looking forward to our next stay!

Harborside - St John 3
This is our third time at James's apartments and I can't picture staying anywhere else on St. John! They are convenient, attractively decorated and have great screened porches overlooking Coral Bay. There are three good casual restaurants within a five minute walk, plus a grocery store. If you're looking for a great value on a beautiful island, you won't do any better. Highly recommended.

Studio w/an Ocean View! Mins to town!
We called once we arrived and picked us up right away. She was very friendly and told us a lot of useful information. She brought us to the house showed and told us everything we needed to know. She went above and beyond to help us with wify and setting are phones up so we could easily find the house. Leaving she made it simple and time saving. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. Thank You

Sea Urchin 1-bedroom apt in Cruz Bay (A-3)
We absolutely LOVE staying here! Patrick is an awesome host, super responsive. Great location, clean, easy to find. This is our favorite place for an amazing stay on St. John!! Can’t wait to be back soon :)

Turtle’s Nest : Caribbean Studio Retreat
We can't say enough great things about staying at Jen's place. We loved having access to the salt pond that led out to a small beach cove where we paddle boarded and snorkeled everyday. The location is great and being right outside of Cruz Bay felt a bit more peaceful, while also only being a 5 minute drive to groceries and restaurants. Jen and Ryan were also wonderful hosts, super friendly and very hospitable. They had everything we needed from restaurant recommendations, to kayaks and paddle boards, and even a bottle of wine when we arrived! By far one of our favorite airbnb stays and we can't wait to come back!

Sunset Ocean View Cruz Bay King bed serene quiet
We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Kiwi Cottage! It is a stunning location with views that are even better than the pictures. Must be seen to be believed. This is a thoughtfully equipped and comfortable home. Pauline and her family have provided everything you need to enjoy the beautiful Island. It is a peaceful and quiet spot to enjoy what makes St. Jon special.

Scenic Ocean View.
We had a wonderful stay at Lorna's place, very comfortable with all the amenities one would hope for. Hot showers, AC, comfortable beds, kitchenware for meal prep, chairs/towels/umbrella for the beach. Lorna was a very sweet and responsive host, and even came by in person to make sure everything was ok. The property is located 15 min from the airport up in the mountains and the road to get there gets very tight and steep in spots. We had good dry weather and were able to navigate in a 4 door sedan, but if the roads were wet I would imagine its quite difficult without 4 wheel drive. Get a jeep if you come during rainy months, and note they drive on the LEFT side of the road in St. Thomas. The climb drive is rewarded with amazing over water views of Caret Bay on the north side of the island. We got up for the sunrise every day we were there, and I'm not an early morning person. Despite some of the listing photos there are no beaches within walking distance, but Brewers Bay beach (a great recommend from Lorna) is 15 minutes drive near the airport and has great snorkeling- guaranteed to see some turtles. Coki Beach and Magens Bay are 20-30 minutes, and Red Hook where the ferries and boat tours launch is 30 minutes. If you want to be able to step outside onto sand, this is not the place, but if you don't mind a little drive, Lorna's place is great for a group of 5-6 people.

Regatta Point! Ocean View Condo!
My husband and I celebrated our honeymoon in St. Thomas. We had a wonderful stay at Linlie’s place. It was a great location, pristine pools, beautiful tropical surroundings, and walkable to nearby restaurants with live entertainment. The place was exactly as pictured, but even more beautiful than photos can do justice. It was very clean and serene. And, the price was excellent. I highly recommend this bnb! Thank you Linlie!

Salty Sway II - 2bed/2bath Beach House
Amazing Airbnb with beautiful sunset views! The villa had all of the amenities my family and I needed for a week stay. Host was very responsive and friendly. Would recommend this place to everyone!

Fanta Sea Villa ~ Peaches Seaside Sanctuary
Enjoyed the hummingbirds, Bananaquits and the noise of the Coki frogs every night. Beautiful views. Wonderful house with everything you could need. Excellent stay.

Villa Isla A: Spacious 1 bedroom 1 bath sleeps 2-4
Thus place was as described. Breath taking views. This was island living at its finest. Easy access into the property and easy access around the island. Highly recommend to rent a golf cart plus it just makes it fun to cruise around the island. We will 💯 rent again. Thank you so much.

2BR/2BA AMAZING MagensBay View! SerenityNorthstar⭐️
We had a great stay at Sabrina's place! Beautiful views and very comfortable space. Beautiful beaches, market, and restaurants a short drive away. Beds were very comfortable. Sabrina was very friendly, responsive and had great local recommendations!

Tropical Shores a Waterfront Villa
This house added to our vacation experience on St. Thomas. The pool and deck were overlooking AMAZING views, the house was roomy, comfortable, and well apportioned. It had character and charm and all of the comforts of home. The kitchen was easy to cook in. Great for families- in a quiet area behind a gate and located close enough to groceries and restaurants. We would book this again!

Seaside Charm - Beachfront Romantic Getaway!
We really enjoyed Julies dwelling. It was in an area that was laid back and comfortable but had all the amenities needed in walking distance. The beach front was amazing with its clear clean water and access to two reefs that provided fantastic snorkeling. Coffee shop, bar, restaurants were just a short walk away. Julie was very flexible with us and was very very responsive to any of our questions.

Orchid Del Sol - 2B/2B Condo Ocean Front
Alexia's Airbnb was topnotch!! The home was beautiful with everything I could ask for that made my birthday week a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. But the most AMAZING part of the condo was the stunning view of the bay. It was pure joy to wake up every morning sit on the balcony with a cup of coffee and my kindle to start my day. I would recommend this condo to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation.

Beachside Escape 3 BDRM at Cowpet Bay East
This condo was perfect for a family vacation. Amy was a great communicator leading up to the trip...she was proactive about travel instructions, check-in process, and even offered to help coordinate local activities. The space was clean and as-described. It was a very quick walk to the beach and pool, making it easy for our group to come up/down at our own pace. The condo was a quick drive (5 min) to the Red Hook area, where there were plenty of restaurants to check out. Overall, it was a great experience and would definitely recommend.

ST THOMAS OCEANFRONT East End/Red Hook Near Ritz
Amazing view I couldn’t get enough. Photos look exactly like the bnb. Host was responsive!

Seaside Studio Suite - at Grande Bay Resort, St. J
Great stay! Excellent location very walkable to town and taxi stand for easy transport to beaches, etc. Host was very responsive and helpful. I had Starfish Market deliver food ahead of time so we walked into a stocked kitchen. We had a minor maintenance issue during our stay and Tracy was very responsive. Pool deck is gorgeous, photos didn’t do it justice. Beautiful pool and hot tub with views of Cruz Bay!

Elysian Beach Resort studio
Ryan is helpful and prompt , I appreciate the time he took to address my many questions and the patience shown. My son had a great time and felt at home.

The Westin St. John Resort Villas - 2BR Villa
This was a two bedroom villa at the Westin on Saint John. The staff at the Westin was super friendly and the location, landscaping and beach cannot be beat! Beautiful sunsets right outside our ground floor beachfront unit. Spectacular! There are nice excursions that leave right from the hotel or drive/cab to tons of beautiful hikes and beaches. Tue site has tennis, pickleball, and other activities but the beach is pretty quiet for just relaxing. The food and service at the restaurants on site was good and it’s also a very short cab ride to lots of fun restaurants and bars in Cruz Bay.

Elysian Beach Resort -King Suite
Deena’s place was great! Clean and comfortable. We enjoyed swimming pool. Good location of the resort and nice restaurants on the property.

Westin St.John 1 BR Villa w/ Resort Pool & Beach
Jennifer's place was amazing. This was my first time at the Westin on St. John, but I would stay there again! The convenience of the on-property services was great! Thank you!
