Abrigado was everything we hoped it would be. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces were just as described (and shown in the pictures). The kitchen had anything you would need or want. The bedrooms were all large and nicely decorated. Same for the ensuite bathrooms. The beds were all very comfortable (and for a family with bad backs, that’s usually very hard to find).
The indoor spaces were large and gave everyone the room they needed (Mom, dad and our 19 yr. old daughter and 22 yr. old daughter).
The outdoor spaces had ample seating and the covered sitting area was used every day throughout the day and evenings.
The pool is very large and so very relaxing. And the pool floats made it even more relaxing (almost too relaxing. I dozed off one afternoon on one of the floats).
The views at Abrigado are beyond perfect. Again, what you see in the pictures is what you get in person. Absolutely amazing.
Next time we come down to St. John, Abrigado will certainly be tops on our list.
Absolutely stunning house for a great value.
If you have the opportunity to stay at this house, don’t pass it up.

2nd year in a row I worked with Betsy and the “Where to Stay” team. This time was just as easy as the first and Betsy was top notch again. Keep up the great work.

We really enjoyed
out stay at the Villa. Great view and a large pool. The house was perfect for our family of 8. Sunsets were beautiful. We would definitely Rent this villa again .

Andrew was great to work with. He was always available to answer any questions I had about the villa.

Excellent service. Very well prepared. A ton of very helpful information. Betsy is the best!

Excellent. Look forward to signing up Abrigado with her next year.

Our stay at the Abrigado villa could not have been better. Not only did it have breathtaking views from every angle of the house but it was perfectly cleaned and well stocked. At first our group was worried about getting to Cruz Bay in the evenings. This was not an issue at all as Shawna was beyond helpful with her recommendations on Taxi service - $7 a person with gorgeous views as you enjoy the open air taxi ride. We loved the taxi and the fantastic local drivers! AMAZING as the Abrigado was, a fraction of the price of other homes in SJ to boot! I highly recommend this place and thank Shawna for her hospitality. We had a fantastic time!

Shawna and WhereToStay were beyond amazing!

Our stay at Abrigado was amazing. The house was very well laid out and the views were non-stop. Loved being in a secure, gated community. The drive to and from town is not for the timid but there are views around every corner. Loved that all four bedrooms are on the far end of the house with two on the first floor and two on the second. The furnishings were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Spent lots of time on the covered patio and lounging in the pool. I would highly recommend this home to anyone!

Shawna was great during the booking process as she took my wish list and presented me with numerous options. She kept me informed of the current requirements around Covid-19 from testing to mask requirements throughout the island. She provided numerous recommendations for activities and restaurants. I would recommend making all of your dinner reservations before arriving. If you are looking for someone to plan and arrange your activities and/or dinner reservations, this is not the group to do that. Great experience overall.

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.
