What a view! The pictures don’t do justice to the incredible vista from this house - down to Cinnamon Bay and out to the BVI. The house is incredibly comfortable and stylish. Shawna and her team were super helpful throughout with great recommendations. We loved Trunk Bay beach, a boat ride with Captain Jug, and dinner at Zozos. We will definitely look to return, and to work with Shawna on future trips!

This was my family’s first visit to St. John, and our villa, Cinnamon Ridge, did not disappoint. The home is situated at the very top of a community of 5 or 6 houses, making it a private, quiet estate. The villa was recently updated with a variety of modern touches, from the stylish kitchen to the stone-walled showers in some of the master bathrooms. The layout of the home is such that every bedroom has a stunning view. The view from the living room is so breathtakingly spectacular that it doesn’t even look real. The outdoor space is also fabulous, with tons of deck space and seating, in addition to one of the largest private pools I’ve ever seen. Our family definitely plans to return to St. John and, in particular, to Cinnamon Ridge. Could not recommend this villa more!

Shawna was extremely pleasant and responsive. Her attention to detail and friendly demeanor made our first big trip since COVID a stress-free experience.

We could not have asked for a more beautiful place to stay with our family. From the moment we stepped into the villa the views were spectacular!! The layout of the villa was great for our family of ten. We never felt crowded and the bedrooms with their our baths were very nice and clean. We all the loved the pool area after a day at the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

Shawna was very professional and a pleasure to work with. She always got back with any questions or concerns immediately and keep us updated with any changes or things we might need to know. I would recommend working with WhereToStay for travel needs.

We can’t imagine a better view on the island. Beautiful sunrises and spectacular sunsets. Waking up to the views never got old and made it hard to leave when our week was up. When you open the sliding doors it made you feel like you were outside. (Just watch for the birds). The outside dining area was perfect for eating, relaxing, and playing games.. Although we were four adult couples, the house would be great for everyone. The pool, deck, and hot tub area was a great place to spend time after a morning at the beach. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. We rented through WhereToStay (Cinnamon Villas) and everyone was professional and courteous. Thank you to Andrew, Sharon, and all the staff. Cinnamon Ridge will definitely be at the top of our list the next time we visit the islands.

Andrew, Sharon and the entire staff were great. We had an issue with the hot tub (after a day of rain) and it was fixed the next morning. We would definitely rent through WhereToStay again.

The villa was everything expected and more. Outstanding views, Could not stop looking at gorgeous views from every window. Wonderful layout. I actually loved driving the Jeeps to and from villa. You get use to the drive after a couple of days. Cinnamon Bay beach is beautiful and only a 10 minute drive down the mountain from the villa.. Plenty of space to spread out. There.were 10 of us, and nobody ever felt like we needed more room. Cinnamon Ridge is very private and quiet.. Truly a little slice of paradise. The VIEWS. Amazing.

WhereToStay.com was a great company to work with. Shawna was very helpful with any questions I had, (and I had a lot). Will definitely be using them again with future vacation rentals Thank you so much for making our family vacation very memorable..

Our week at Cinnamon Ridge villa was nothing less than superb! The views of the ocean were absolutely breathtaking and we loved watching the sailboats go in and out of the various harbors. My kids loved the pool and hot tub and it was wonderful to have such a great house layout with indoor and outdoor activities. We could tell that a lot of time was spent in the design of this villa. We would definitely recommend having at least one days worth of groceries pre-stocked at the villa and making sure to have a vehicle with four-wheel-drive. There are several switch-backs that one has to use to access the nearest beaches but definitely doable if you have the right vehicle. Chef Matt made us a delicious meal and even my fussy kids loved the fish cake he made. The chocolate cake was probably one of the best chocolate cakes we have had in a long time!! Warren was super helpful with our airport transfer needs and gave an excellent tour of Saint Thomas. Would highly recommend doing an excursion to the neighboring island. Unfortunately with the coronavirus pandemic, a trip to the BVI was not possible but hopefully one day when we return, we can do it. Karma and Sharmal were so quick to get us assistance when we had one of the fire detectors beeping and when we had a small water issue. Overall, a great trip and would highly recommend.

Shawna was amazing with getting our trip set up including the multiple changes that occurred with our flights and also setting up a one-day tour to Saint Thomas and providing recommendations for a private chef dinner.

Everything was perfect.

Very good.

My experience with home rentals is that they generally don’t live up to the pictures…that was definitely not the case here! Beautiful home with an amazing view. Can’t wait to go back!

Shawna was really great. Helped us navigate through the variety of issues created by the pandemic. In particular, working with the home owner to reschedule our visit. Thanks so much Shawna. We had an amazing time!

We couldn’t have been happier with this villa, that term seems understated, it’s really an immaculate large home! Outdoor terraces for dining, TV watching, pool and hot tub very nice, landscaping well done around the villa. The kitchen was beautiful, bedrooms had very comfortable mattresses and bedding. Location so ideal, undeveloped north shore meant views were natural and not cluttered with power lines and other structures as is the case in other areas of St. John. The best beaches on the north shore are all within a 5-6 min drive. The sliding glass doors of the main living area open up to million dollar views and wonderful Caribbean breezes. Quick 15 min drive to Cruz Bay for dining and shopping.

Shawna was very responsive and helpful throughout, a true pleasure to deal with and an asset to our vacation.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house! The location was about 20 minutes from Cruz Bay and about 15 minutes down the mountain to the beaches below the house. The pictures are very representative, and Cinnamon Ridge was a nice house that our group really enjoyed.

Shawna was very nice to work with and provided great communication throughout the booking/vacation process.

St. John is a beautiful island that my family and I have enjoyed multiple times in the past twenty years. Cinnamon Ridge is a lovely villa with a spectacular view.
