Why St. John, USVI?
|
Overview
A 20-minute ferry ride from St. Thomas opens the door to the "friendliest" and smallest of the US Virgin Islands, St. John. Over half of St. John's 21 sq. miles is cared for by the park service and is open for exploration with fabulous trails and scenic views. Guests can camp out right at the oceans' edge at Maho Bay, or, the most famous campsite in the Caribbean, Cinnamon Bay. Both camps offer watersports, food and supplies on-site. (Reservations are a must during high season.) Reef Bay Trail is also worth a hike! This downhill trail includes a 200-year-old sugar plantation and petroglyphs carved by the Carib Indians. Guests shouldn't overlook Snuba, a combination of snorkeling and scuba diving. St. John is the only place in the Caribbean where it's offered. Though St. John is not known for its nightlife, Cruz Bay does have colorful shops, lively bars, and some wonderful restaurants.
History
The first human inhabitants of the Virgin Islands were the Arawak Indians. They were descendants of coastal Indians from what is now Venezuela and Guyana who were forced out of that area by more aggressive tribes. They island hopped up the Antillean chain until they reached the Virgin Islands sometime around 300 AD. The Arawaks lived peacefully here, fishing and farming, until the fierce and cannibalistic Carib Indians moved into the area about 100 years before the arrival of Columbus.
Christopher Columbus "discovered" the Virgin Islands on his second voyage to the Caribbean in 1493. Because the islands were sited around the time of the feast of St. Ursula, he named them "Once Mil Virgins" after the eleven thousand virgins that were martyred with St. Ursula.
In 1917 the United States, out of fear of German expansion and a potential naval base here, bought the Virgin Islands from Denmark. Residents were granted U.S. citizenship in 1927, but the islands remained under the direct control of the U.S. government until 1968, when Virgin Islanders were first allowed to elect their own Governor (previously, governors had been appointed first by the navy, then by the interior department). In 1972, Virgin Islanders elected their first non voting delegate to congress.
Since the 1950's, the tourist industry in the Virgin Islands has been growing. Nowhere else under the American flag will you find a culture as diverse, a history as exciting, and an environment as breathtaking.
In 1971 the US bought the islands, which had been former pirate hideouts and ruled by over 7 European monarchies. Just minutes apart, each of the US Virgin Islands has its own personality and characteristics. Aristocratic roots are seen in the 17th century castles and homes, 200 year-old sugar plantations and rum factories.

What to Do During Your Stay in St. John, USVI Villas
Step outside your St. John villa rental and you'll find a whole island full of things to do. Whether you're into water sports, hiking, or shopping, you'll be entertained on the island. The majority of St. John is national park land, which means there are miles of trails that traverse the island. Cruz Bay bustles with activity, and local shops and restaurants welcome visitors. If you're interested in history, head to the Annaburg Sugar Mills Ruins dating back to the 1700s, or check out the Elaine Sprauve Library and Museum. Of course, you need to spend some time at the beach, too, and Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay, and Hawksnest Beach are great for lounging and swimming. When done for the day, head back to your villa on St. John for some well-deserved relaxation.
Hawksnest Beach - Beach Attraction
|
St. John, USVI Hawksnest Beach is the locals' favorite beach for families with children. It's not only one of the most beautiful beaches on St. John, it is also the most convenient. It's the closest north shore beach to Cruz Bay and the parking lot is close to the beach, so there's no need for a long walk. In the late afternoon, many native St. Johnians come to Hawksnest to "chill out" after work. Hawksnest Beach is the least crowded of the North Shore beaches. Changing facilities, shelters and picnic tables are available. Enjoy excellent snorkeling in fairly shallow water along the nearby reef. It's a good place for beginner snorkelers. |

Reef Bay Trail - Hiking/Walking/Exploring Attraction

St. John, USVI This is probably one of the most interesting hikes on St. John, but may be a bit physically challenging.

You can also take the safari bus from the park's visitor center. A boat takes you from the beach at Reef Bay back to the visitor center, saving you the uphill climb.

Caneel Bay - Beach Attraction
|
St. John, USVI Caneel Bay is the home of seven fabulous beaches at St. John's first resort established by Laurance Rockefeller in the 1950's. The public can hike to Honeymoon Beach or can check-in to become a guest of the main Caneel beach.
Swimming: pretty calm
Food/Refreshments: Yes
Water Sports Center: Yes
Accessibility: Taxi, Car, Trail
Snorkeling: Not brilliant
Amenities: Restroom/Hotel
Kid Friendly: Yes
Taxi Availability: Usually at hotel, or Call Dispatcher
Honeymoon Beach & Scott Beach are 2 of 7 beaches at the Caneel Bay Resort. You can drive to the visitor's parking lot at Caneel Bay (you have to check in with the guard if he is there and tell him you are a day visitor). Technically, guests are just supposed to be able to access Caneel Bay and Honeymoon Beaches but legally you can be on any of the beaches (where it gets tricky is that the property accessing the beach is resort private property).
If you walk straight on the path after parking, you will come to Caneel Bay Beach. This is also where you can eat lunch or have drinks. Day visitors can use the beach but they are not supposed to use the guest chaises. If you turn left on the pathway BEFORE you come to the beach restaurant and walk about 1 mile (straight, easy walk), you will come to Honeymoon Beach. If you snorkel around the reef on the left end of Honeymoon, you'll come to Salomon Beach (very short distance).
To get to Scott Beach, it's quite a ways on your right (again on the path before you reach Caneel Beach)--maybe 2 miles. Plus no kids under 12 are allowed on Scott or Paradise Beach.
The other National Park Beaches, outside of the Caneel property, which are as nice or nicer include Hawksnest, Trunk, Cinnamon, Little Cinnamon, Gibney, Francis, Jumbie, Leinster, Waterlemon Cay to name a few.

St. John, USVI Paul@stjohnrestaurants 340 776 6611 Chateau Bordeaux is like a five star tree house with breathtaking views of Coral Bay and Tortola B.V.I. in the distance.

Tall crystal wineglasses with solid white china plates sit at each setting, and fabric swags hang from the ceiling. It is fine dining caribbean-island style, and as it should be, the view is the true feast for the eyes. Picture windows surround the dining room looking out towards the east. It's best to dine before sunset to catch the spectacular view. The wine list is impressive, and the food has a French/Caribbean flare with fresh and creative dishes.

Ginger Thomas, villa review Visited: April 2012
Posted by
We visited St. John for the first time and we could not have found better accomodations for our stay. We were greeted by Sonia at the ferry dock where she picked us up and drove us to pick up our jeep and then to the villa. She very friendly and informative of the area. The villa was well appointed with quality furnishings, kitchen supplies, beach chairs, coolers etc. This property is convenient to Cruz bay downtown area with an awesome view or the sunset off the balcony/pool area. The villa was very peaceful throughout the day with minmal traffic coming up by the villa. It is close enough to walk to town with an abundance of taxis to take you to the beaches or coral bay/salt pond area. I cannot say enough about this property and we will definitely stay again. Thanks for the hospitality and we hope to see you again next year. The Templetons Georgia

Blue Skies Villa, villa review Visited: February 2011
Posted by Donna
My wife and I last stayed at Blue Skies about a year ago. It was our second visit to St. John and our second stay at Blue Skies. We can't say enough about the island or the villa. They complement each other.
Blue Skies is the perfect place to stay on St. John. It is close to the Westin, so you can easily walk down for a massage at the Westin exercise facility. You can also use the tennis courts or the restaurants there. There's a Starbucks bar in the little deli at the Westin, too. You can have all the comforts of home when you are actually in Paradise.
St. John has the best beaches of anywhere we have ever been - and we have traveled quite a bit. There are always new places to experience and explore.
Blue Skies villa is simple and elegant. There are magical touches everywhere. Upon our arrival, the villa was perfectly cleaned and there were flowers for us in every room. What's more, the flowers were gathered from the beautiful gardens that surround the house.
Every bedroom has its own access to the decks that wrap around the houses. There are fantastic views from wherever you are. The bedroom we used had its own private deck, which we enjoyed late at night under the stars.
The pool is very large for the island and has sun all day long. You can look down from the pool and see the boats in the bay below.
I can't say enough about the location, the views, the breezes, the beauty, and the general bright and friendly laid-back atmosphere. We will surely return to St. John and we hope to stay at Blue Skies.

Casa De Sonadores, villa review Visited: November 2011
Posted by stjohnca
We stayed at Casa de Sonadores with a group of people, and loved it.
There were so many excellent features that I don't know where to begin. It featured a gourmet kitchen, large bedrooms, and exquisite furnishings. Everything was in top condition.
We are so happy we selected Casa de Sonadores!

Morningside has a killer view.
Morningside Villa, villa review Visited: June 2011
Posted by
Don't be afraid of this rental! What a superb location, view, and villa.
This was our second trip to the island. We stayed at the Westin our first year. Our Morningside vacation consisted of eight people. It was a perfect setup for a family or multiple couples.
The poolside deck and view can't be beat. The kitchen rocked, and the bedrooms afford total privacy and space. Privacy was also tremendous as you could only see the top of one or two other villas and it by no means obstructed your view of the surrounding bays and landscape.
Vehicle rental is a must on this island. The short walk to Klein Bay beach was nice; however, this is not a swimming beach as it is very rocky.
Snorkeling was nice on calm days and stingrays abound. The island is just too beautiful to remain in the villa, but when you just need a day to relax, this is the perfect spot!
This villa was well stocked so you need not worry about grills, beach chairs, coolers, or any kitchen utensils. Driving on this entire island is not for the faint of heart - best stay at the Westin for that. But, it was only 10-12 minute drive into Cruz Bay and the privacy of this villa is priceless.

This villa boasts a magic view for a magic vacation!
Magic View Villa, villa review Visited: January 2012
Posted by Tinalou
This was our second visit to St. John, and the second time we rented a villa. This home was lovely and perfect for the four of us - my husband and me, his sister, and her husband. The views, as others have commented, were spectacular. There were nice breezes, and just the right height above the water to allow for complete privacy.
Although there were neighbors on both sides, there was a lot of foliage so that there was only a "peekaboo" view of the folks on the king bedroom side of the villa. And, everyone quieted down in the evening so we felt like we were alone.
The kitchen was nicely equipped, and had a table with two chairs. There were (I think) three other chairs at the bar, so we could all eat together. Outside the kitchen was a nice set - table and four chairs. They were comfortable and allowed us to enjoy the view while eating my famous spaghetti and meatballs!
The bed was very comfortable, but they are raised so you had to climb up into them. The bathroom was nice, but I wish there had been two sinks. The king bedroom shower was large and open.
We did not spend a lot of time in the living room, but when we did, it was comfortable. Outside the living room were two chairs, (one with an ottoman) so when the four of us were there, we had to improvise.
The pool was very small, but just enough to get wet and cool down when the sun was hot. There was plenty of space to sunbathe (I know it's bad for you, but we loved doing it!).
This made for a very nice and relaxing vacation. The restaurants were great (Fatty Crab - great Chupacabras which are made with tequila and green chiles, The Equator/Sugar Mill, Morgan's Mango (Tuesday is lobster night), and the Lime Inn (Wednesday is all you can eat shrimp).
We would definitely rent this villa again, as it is well maintained and a great location - just a short drive to Cruz Bay town. Thank you Branners for sharing this great home!

Lavender Hil is a great place in a great location!
Lavender Hill Suites, hotel review Visited: September 2011
Posted by taramyatt
I can't begin to say how much we loved Lavender Hill. The condos were spacious and had everything we needed - from beach items (chairs, towels, coolers), and things for making breakfast or dinner.
The location was awesome as it made meals in Cruz Bay very easy and accessible. The condos were very tropical and provided a wonderful view of the Bay. The pool was small but wonderful. We had it all to ourselves when we were here in September.
The customer service representative is A1. They were very responsive before, during and after our trip! There was only maid service once in the week we were here, but we loved that as we do not prefer to have people in our room every day.
Stop looking now and choose Lavender Hill for your next stay on St. John. You will not regret it one bit!

It was Paradise - the best vacation ever!
Carolina Villa, villa review Visited: July 2011
Posted by
Carolina Villa was the perfect villa for this couple from North Carolina! The online photos just do not do it justice. Once you see this beautiful hillside villa and take in the most relaxing and gorgeous "million dollar views", it will take your breath away!
I am such a photography buff that I ended up taking over 900 photos of the villa with its spectacular views to the east of the Virgin Gorda, Tortola, Hurricane Hole and East End. The postcard views of Coral Bay from the pool deck overlooking the large, infinity-style pool were unbelievable!
Carolina Villa was beautifully decorated with very comfortable furnishings. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we would need for the little cooking we did.
The private master bedroom suite offered refreshing linens and
air-conditioning after a relaxing day by the pool or beach. The spacious, stone outside shower with the conch soap holder was neat!
Some of our favorites were finding our groceries had been pre-stocked by Christy's of St. John before we got there. Our flight had been delayed twice prior to our arrival to St. Thomas, so when we finally did grill the steaks and enjoy the bottle of wine on the pool deck, it was all worth it!
Our most favorite was lounging by the pool all day, working on our tans, relaxing, reading, listening to 101.9 R & B music and chilling! We kept saying "It just doesn't get any better than this!".
We are always in search of turquoise blue water, and found it at Vie's Beach, Maho Bay, Hawksnest and, of course, Trunk Bay. Trunk Bay is not to be missed! The water is so clear, and the waves just gently flow onto the beach. With its soft-sand beach and crystal-clear water, it was tough leaving this one! Boy, the photos I took here and at the overlook were "out of this world and picture postcard perfect!" This was the prettiest beach we have ever seen!
Don't miss some of the fine restaurants in the surrounding areas of Carolina Villa. We enjoyed cool breezes and drinks at Island Blues, good burgers at Skinny Legs, delicious creole dishes at Sweet Plantains, and Shipwreck Landing.
We enjoyed Shipwreck Landing so much, we ended up going back twice to enjoy the cool breezes. Also, our last evening meal of Nut-crusted chicken with the chutney mango sauce along with a Raspberry Mango Colada drink was a real treat! It was absolutely delicious, and the service was great!
Carolina Villa is a special place for us, and this was a much-needed vacation. Our thanks to Shawna Dunaway with WheretoStay.com for her assistance and attention to details that helped make this trip one we will always cherish!
When I got back to work, everyone was anxiously awaiting to hear all about our trip and see my fabulous photos. However, it does take time to get over 900 photos developed! When I did....wow! I knocked their socks off!
Thanks to the owners for allowing us to share a slice of their paradise, if only for a week!

Coral Cove Villa, villa review Visited: July 2011
Posted by AnnBadgley
This was a very clean and large home with plenty of room for eight people. The view was gorgeous, and everything looked exactly like the pictures on the web site.
It is a little farther from town than we thought it would be, but we found plenty of restaurants and things to do on this side of the island. We only went back into town one night for dinner.
My son suggested we have a private chef come in. We did, and it was the perfect romantic setting.
The only problem we had was the air conditioner quit in a couple of the bedrooms. However, they were fixed immediately after we called and complained.
I would definitely stay here again!

If you're thinking of trying Conrad Sutton Car Rental, don't do it! 
Conrad Sutton Car Rental, review Visited: July 2011
Posted by kjrbarnes
We just rented two vehicles from him last week (6/24/11-7/2/11). Never again!
First, they gave me a Jeep Wrangler four-door with about 7,000 miles on it. The second day, I was on a switchback just after Trunk Bay, and the transmission failed. The police helped, and discovered there was no (nada, none) transmission fluid in the vehicle.
I called the number listed on the contract, and told the woman who answered of the issue. Her response was "What did you do?". Really good customer service (Not!). Conrad himself came with a replacement jeep (a Liberty, not a four-door wrangler) within 45 minutes. I'm thinking, that's pretty good. When I go to return it, I get an attitude because they attached the replacement car paperwork to the wrong original contract.
On the second vehicle my brother-in-law rented, when we returned it, they told him there was a dent on the bumper that wasn't there before. It was missed on the pre-inspection. I looked at it and said that I followed him out of the lot when we picked it up and it was there already when we picked up the car. I was called a liar multiple times.
I asked to see the paperwork from the person who rented it before us to see if the dent was indicated on prior rentals. I was told they destroy all paperwork after the rental is complete... yeah, right! There was a pile 3-4" thick of prior rental forms on the desk. Now who is the liar?
They were rude and, in my opinion, dishonest.

Coral Oasis, villa review Visited: June 2011

What an amazing place to stay. It was our first time in the Caribbean, and what a treat to stay at Coral Oasis! It's just as beautiful as the pictures, but in person spectacular!
We had everything we needed and more. The villa was amazing. It was gorgeous! What a week!
The only problem we had was with Internet connection. Other than that, it was perfect. It was expensive, but worth it!

Romantic Retreat Villa, villa review Visited: June 2011
Posted by White-Witt
This was our second stay at this beautiful little villa. It sits high on a hill overlooking Cruz Bay and St. Thomas. It had a very private location, and would be perfect for one or two couples.
We enjoyed the mornings and evenings relaxing on the deck, taking in the beautiful views, watching the birds and iguanas. The villa was only a five-minute drive to town. However, be careful getting out of the driveway - it's a little tricky.
We highly recommend this villa as a great place to stay in St. John.

Odessa is a charming beach house by the sea. 
Odessa St. John Villa, villa review Visited: May 2011
Posted by DK10
After already renting Odessa I came upon the 10-2010 review and was quite anxious about what we had gotten ourselves into. I sent the review to the Property Manager, who quickly and frankly responded to the problems mentioned therein. I was satisfied with her response but, of course, seeing is believing.
Well, I saw, and I was simply puzzled by the harsh review on 10-2010. Seemingly in St. John, Beach Houses, are "villas." But, I would describe Odessa as a charming beach house by the sea, with spectacular views, and the constant sound of the sea from every room.
The separation between inside and outside is minimal, and the design maximizes that experience. I saw no safety issues whatsoever.
The upstairs bed was fine. My boyfriend and I slept wonderfully every night. It had all the basics - pots, pans, coffee maker, cable TV, and working Internet. The walk to the Villa is a steep one (but that is the cost you pay for the view). It is well paved, just take your time. Moreover, prior to renting, it was very made clear to us that it the walk to and from from the parking pad (another spectacular view) was steep, and not for the infirm, elderly or small children who lack stamina.
For us as first-timers the location was great. It was close enough to Cruz Bay for grocery shopping and dinner; but still private.
I would definitely rent it again. We loved our time at Odessa. And from the guest book entries, many others have, too.

Waterfall is a definite dream come true.
Waterfall Villa, villa review Visited: January 2011
Posted by
My wife and I still remember the breathtaking Fish Bay views from the infinity pool and hot tub on this property.
We loved the poolside gazebo sunrises and early morning visits from the bananaquit birds. It emphasized both the tranquility and luxury this property offers.
Having the option of using either air conditioning or ceiling fans increased the comfort. The weather was 85 degrees and sunny each day, which allowed us to utilize all that the property had to offer.
The kitchen and baths were both beautiful and perfectly designed. The furnishing were exquisite and comfortable - inside and out. Every Window had a view, as the entire front of the house that faced the bay/ocean was glass - open, airy and bright.
The driveway was a little challenging, but by St. John standards, unremarkable - not daunting by any means. The ride to town was about 15 minutes. It was extremely private - not able to see or hear any adjacent residences.
We will be back to St. John and we will be thrilled to be staying at Waterfall!

Odessa St. John Villa, villa review Visited: October 2010
Posted by wish*i*was*in*the*vi
We were really looking forward to our stay. It was not our first trip to the USVI. In fact, we've been coming here for years. However, it was our first time staying in a villa.
Let me first warn you that the pictures used to represent Odessa are extremely outdated. They have even done structural remodeling since those pictures were taken.
It doesn't mean the property is new and improved, though. The property is full of mold, rust and safety hazards - bare wiring, light switches- yes light switches, in the shower!
The pool deck shakes as if it's going to collapse, and the high tension safety cable wires have been replaced with plain old rope. In addition, the safety railings on the deck have been replaced with plastic lattice which would not prevent anyone from falling through.
My son cut his foot on a section of the pool lining, the steps (there were close to a 100 of them down to the property) are crooked, oddly shaped and plain dangerous.
The property is in need of major repairs. My husband said he's seen Motel 6's that were nicer than this one. There were cobwebs and dead spiders all over the place, and a variety of other dead bugs, and stained rugs throughout the house.
The broken lamps were a nice touch. I also particularly enjoyed the deck chairs that were either broken or so rusted you didn't dare sit on them. Also, the bed was so hard you could feel each and every coil of the mattress.
We stayed three nights before leaving. The owner did agree to pay for us to move to another villa. However, we would have footed that bill ourselves anyway, just to salvage the rest of our trip.

This was the best family vacation ever!
Grande Bay Resort, hotel review Visited: December 2010
Posted by assuntaswier
My family and I had the best vacation ever on St. John. We stayed at Grande Bay Resort in Cruz Bay. We could not have chosen a more perfect location for our family.
We walked everywhere. The children were able to find something to do at any hour of the day or night. Everything we needed was just steps away - restaurants, shopping, and activities for the whole family.
The accommodations were exceptional on every level. The full size kitchen allowed me to maintain a healthy lifestyle while traveling, and keep all of my children's favorite snacks on hand.
Also, the in room washer and dryer were a huge bonus for a family traveling, and helped me keep my packing to a minimum.
I have actually purchased the bedding after staying here, it was that fantastic. It is rare that I leave my bed and not want to go back to it.
It was simply gorgeous in every way. Grande Bay Resort has become a destination spot for my family. We will revisit this paradise over and over again.

Our family stayed at Grande Bay, and we loved the convenience of being right in town. We didn't need a car. When we did want to go to the beach, we rented a Jeep one day and the other took a taxi.
We walked to all the great restaurants and really couldn't have asked for a better experience. We loved it, and our kids can't wait to go back.
All our friends are jealous because of the photos we have posted on Facebook!
We are looking forward to next year when we return!

Rendezvous Villa, villa review Visited: January 2011
Posted by dneshek
This was our second time staying at Rendezvous Villa.
The place is well set up and the view is spectacular. It is nice to have two levels for a mixed group. This provides lots of privacy.
The drive is close to Cruz Bay, but is not for the faint at heart. There are some sharp turns. We rented a car, which is the best way to enjoy the island. Driving on the left is easy. The roads all over are part of the experience.
I would highly recommend St. John as a destination. Be prepared for the no-see-ums" (sand fleas). I'm not sure of the season for these, but we all got bit up. I suggest you bring your Benadryl and bug spray.
Renting a villa is the only way to travel, and Rendezvous Villa is top notch.
