We’ve visited St John 3 times before, but this was our first visit with children. Finding a house with the perfect set up was important, and difficult, as many homes have exterior entries to bedrooms, etc. Abrigado fit the bill perfectly, providing kids bedroom just across the hall from the master (and the identical set up on the second floor, as well). We also loved having the pool on the main floor, with easy access to the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms! Not to mention the unbelievable views. We made it a point to return home from the beaches in time to catch the sunsets each evening before heading to dinner. The pool is very large and pool deck has amazingly comfortable furniture. Location of the home was in a gated community, safe area, and very private. We loved every second of the trip and didn’t want to return home!

Andrew was wonderful, super friendly, and always willing to help set up accommodations, taxi rides from airport, etc. His emails kept us on track with reminders about what we needed to do to prepare (COVID tests, etc) prior to the trip.

We stayed at Abrigado Villa the first week of June 2017 and we could not have imagined a more perfect place to celebrate my husband’s retirement. It was absolutely amazing. The villa is decorated beautifully and is equipped with everything you could need. The patio is perfect for meals, with such beautiful views. Our grandchildren loved the pool. Everything went perfectly.

Lateefah was waiting for us at the ferry dock, took us to the car rental, then escorted us to the villa. She gave us a tour, and was very sweet and helpful. We went to a different beach everyday, and it was so easy to bring the coolers, towels, and beach chairs that were available at the villa. We had such a wonderful time and such sweet memories that we were all sad to leave. Awesome place.

Sharon was wonderful from the start. We were looking for a place that would accommodate our family with grandchildren ages 7 and 9. Sharon suggested the Abrigado Villa, and we are so happy she did. Everything was perfect and all her details were very clear. She made the trip so easy. I would highly recommend Sharon to anyone. We had a great experience using WhereToStay for the first time and are looking forward to our next trip.

I took my three sisters and their husbands. It was their first time in Saint John. We all had a fabulous time. The Abrigado was just about perfect. Very tastefully appointed, plenty of towels, beach chairs, coolers, etc. The kitchen had absolutely everything you could want to prepare and cook meals. We ate both indoors and outdoors. I won’t hesitate to stay there again and will probably make reservations for next year.

There are a couple of minor issues:
1. I thought we were going to get a mid-week visit from cleaning people. While we kept the place pretty neat and orderly, we could have used more bath towels and it would have been nice to have someone empty trash and take it up the hill. No big deal.
2. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how to get hot water in the master bath shower. I finally figured it out on the morning we were leaving.
3. Getting there from Cruz Bay can be rugged and confusing at first. We figured it out. However, we hired a driver to take us around to the beaches and to dinner in town, and the cost of that was comparable to the cost of a rental car with a lot less stress. Worth noting.

Where To Stay’s service was excellent. Shawna’s terrific!
