Know Before You Go...
Blue Papaya is the perfect villa for family vacations. One of the four bedrooms enjoys a lounge and wet bar, and each suite has exterior access, gorgeous views, and an ensuite bathroom. Cruz Bay is minutes away, but you still have the safety and privacy of a gated community. What’s not to love?

exceeded expectations
Blue Papaya, St. John villa review
We stayed at Blue Papaya on December of 2022 with our family and returned in March of 2023 with friends. Each stay was more than perfect! Blue Papaya is immaculate and well stocked. The layout provides ample room for privacy with 4 ensuite bedrooms as well as inviting indoor and outdoor areas to gather. The beds and linens are very comfortable, and the bathrooms are just elegant. Afternoon cocktails by the pool, and later on the deck, are a perfect way to end the day. It is the best seat on the island to watch the lights of St. Thomas rise at night. We will certainly be back for a third visit!

Our experience working with WhereToStay was wonderful! I did have one glitch when the refrigerator stopped working after dinner, and I had a response to my text within minutes. Within the hour a small fridge was delivered and the problem was solved the next morning. I was very pleased with how promptly my issue was resolved.
Beautiful Villa with Amazing Views
Blue Papaya, St. John villa review
My wife, father and I spent a week at Blue Papaya in mid May 2022. We were thoroughly pleased with every moment of our stay. The villa is both beautifully designed and decorated. Each room conveys a welcoming Caribbean feel. The kitchen is well appointed and perfect for our needs. But the most memorable aspect of the villa are the views from the upstairs veranda. We spent hours lounging on the veranda watching the boats in Great Cruz Bay and the sunsets over St. Thomas each night. Blue Papaya is on our list of places to visit again one day.
Andrew was a pleasure to work with. He was both informative and responsive to any questions we had. The entire booking experience was easy and well organized.
Beautiful Home
Blue Papaya, St. John villa review
Blue Papaya was just as advertised. It has a great pool, comfortable beds, an easy to use kitchen, and air-conditioning throughout. The drive up is steep in places, but the hilltop views and the breeze make the trek a distant memory. We actually spent a couple of days just hanging around the house and pool. Management was responsive, even though we didn’t need them. We highly recommend this home.
We have worked with Shawna and Andrew in the past, and they always deliver first-class service. The homes are great and they are always responsive.
Special Family Vacation
Blue Papaya, St. John villa review
Villa is beautiful and love the location and views! All the amenities were great!
Working with Where to Stay was awesome! Betsy was great and so helpful with answering all my questions and recommendations for my concerns. Would definitely work through them again!!
Lovely villa in gated neighborhood
Blue Papaya, St. John villa review
Very attractive, gorgeously decorated villa with beautiful views of Great Cruz Bay and St. Thomas. The glittering nighttime views are especially breathtaking. The villa has very comfortably furnished interiors with dark wood vaulted ceilings and brick floors. Bathrooms are generously sized and feature native stone showers. The pool deck is reasonably well screened and receives all day sun. The villa is located in a neighborhood of similar high end vacation homes. There are a number of villas in quite close proximity and therefore other vacationers can be seen and their music heard outdoors on the terrace and pool deck.
The WhereToStay.com team were thoroughly professional and provided excellent service.
