Excellent experience, all as advertised
Eaglesnest Villa, St. John villa review
Our family had an overall excellent stay at the Eaglesnest Villa. The views are outstanding, the accommodations are comfortable and welcoming, and the pool area is very nice. The villa is well stocked with amenities and supplies for the beach: beach chairs, beach bags, beach towels and several coolers are all provided in abundance. The kitchen has just about every gadget and utensil for cooking if you decide to prepare meals in, and there is ample dinnerware and space for family dining, both indoor and outdoor, if you so choose. I should also mention that the support staff is highly responsive, efficient, and friendly.
The only thing I’d point out, which may give some families pause, is that the third bedroom is detached from the living area - underneath the main living space above, and adjacent to the pool area, which is fenced in but right next to the bedroom door. This bedroom is accessible only by outside stairs which lead up to the driveway and the front door of the villa. If you have smaller children, this is far from an optimal arrangement. Our teenage son ended up taking this bedroom by himself and we were generally OK with it. But my guess is that many families would not want small children alone down there separated from the main house and next to the pool.
Assuming this is not an issue for you, the Eaglesnest is highly recommended. It provided a wonderful spot for our family vacation. We would love to come back again.
Jean and WhereToStay thank you for helping make our experience on St. John so wonderful. We had a great family vacation.

FABULOUS
Eaglesnest Villa, St. John villa review
Eagles Nest was in an amazing spot….High enough to have some incredible views and far enough away to have privacy. The house and amenities were exactly what we needed and allowed us to pack efficiently. The pool was amazing and my husband loved the hammock in the afternoon shade. Thank you for sharing your incredible Villa with us!
wonderful!
Having a checklist and thorough instructions were so great and easy to follow!
I would just add to your list to call (instead of text) their contact person if they need anything during their stay.

BEST VACATION EVER
Eaglesnest Villa, St. John villa review
This villa is truly amazing! We were a group of six adults visiting the island for the first time. The house had everything we needed. Large covered porches to gather when it is raining. Gorgeous views from every room in the house. Lots of information in books left for guests to assist with daily adventures. A very private location just outside of town. We would definitely rent again! Thank you so much. WhereToStay made planning easy!!
Every detail was covered from start to finish with ease including travel from different places for several members of our group.

Perfect choice
Eaglesnest Villa, St. John villa review
This villa exceeded our expectations. The layout was great with a large open living space and kitchen, and two separate bed/bath in the main area. The extra bed/bath on the lower level was great for the grandparents to have some quiet time. The view and decks were spectacular for both sunrise and sunset.
Betsy was always very responsive and helpful.

Outstanding Villa
Eaglesnest Villa, St. John villa review
Without question, Eaglesnest villa was an exceptional rental with all the amenities one could ask for. Spent 9 days there over the Thanksgiving holiday and could not have been more pleased with location, easy access to Cruz Bay businesses, pool/deck areas and view high above Great Cruz bay. Kitchen was well stocked, AC in bedrooms was phenomenal and everything at the villa was first class and in excellent working order. Having stayed in numerous villas in St. John at over the course of many years, this villa exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend Eaglesnest to future visitors to the island.
Can not say enough good things about WhereToStay website and working with Shawna. Took care of everything and made our vacation one of the best. Very easy to work with and helped us throughout the process with all phases of our travel arrangements.

Excellent Villa and Stay!
Eaglesnest Villa, St. John villa review
A group of 4 stayed at Eagles Nest 7/21/2018-7/28/2018 and loved it. The villa provides everything you need and the view is amazing! We spent almost all our time at the villa on the deck.
The villa is spacious and perfect for couples or families.
The bonus is the driveway is easy to get in and out of.
WhereToStay and Shawna were great to work with. I will use WhereToStay and Shawna to book future trips.

Breathtaking setting for a beautiful and very well equipped island home.
Eaglesnest Villa, St. John villa review
This was the perfect choice for a 30th anniversary trip with our two college-age children. Pictures do not do the setting and view of Great Cruz Bay justice. The location was close enough to Cruz Bay for shopping and dining, but still provided serene tranquility on the private hillside. The home was extremely well equipped and the pool was a great feature for all of us. We’re recommending this villa to family and friends, and hope to return!
We received excellent service working with Shawna! She was incredibly thoughtful with all the details, and clearly knew the property and local amenities very well. The arrangements she made for our arrival made it a stress-free experience.

Beautiful villa
Eaglesnest Villa, St. John villa review
We have rented on St. John several times, staying in a different villa each time. Our stay this year at Eaglesnest was definitely above the rest! Eaglesnest is a lovely house, extremely clean & well cared for! The outside patios and pool were wonderful, and views were spectacular. The villa is close to Cruz Bay with restaurants, shops and day-boat pick ups. Also close to the Westin where we went to the fitness center each morning. Sharon was terrific in helping make our arrangements, Audrey was very thorough during our greeting, and the midweek cleaning staff were very nice (an extra treat to have that service!). We will definitely stay at Eaglesnest again when we return to St. John!
WhereToStay and Sharon were very helpful, responsive and accommodating in making all arrangements. Audrey, our greeter, was very nice, professional and thorough.

Eaglesnest Villa, St. John villa review
Everything we hoped it would be. Great location, privacy yet close to town. Had everything we needed. Audrey, our greeter, was wonderful. Pool was nice. Bedrooms stayed nice and cool. The view was magnificent. Better than described on website. Deck was awesome too. Would definitely stay there again.

Eaglesnest - don't miss it!
Eaglesnest Villa, St. John villa review
We’re a couple with two daughters. Eaglesnest is a perfect place to spend your vacation.
We spent a week here, and I don’t know where to start!
The beaches were gorgeous. We swam with turtles, and saw a stingray and so many colors of fishes. It was really “white sand and blue waters”.
Eaglesnest was close to many places - Cruz Bay, beaches, and the market.
In Eaglesnest, we felt comfortable (like at home) but with an amazing view and delicious nights spent on a deck chatting and watching the movies we made from the day.
There was also a very pleasant grill which allowed us to have great dinners on the porch.

Perfect location and view
Eaglesnest Villa, St. John villa review
This was our fourth stay at Eaglesnest villa. It has a lot going for it. Number one is the location and view. Eaglesnest is close to town and looks over Great Cruz Bay, one of the prettiest bays on island in my opinion. The location makes it very easy to run into town for dinner or to do shopping. The other thing we love about the villa is it is very well stocked with just about anything you would want or need. If you plan to cook while on vacation you will find everything you need to prepare a meal and then enjoy it out on the deck gazing at the ocean and St Croix in the distance. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and escape from the craziness of 2020.
My experience with Betsy was very pleasant. When we called with a small issue she returned my call quickly. I have already recommended Where to Stay to a friend of mine who plans to rent Eaglesnest next April.

Great views.
Eaglesnest Villa, St. John villa review
The deck and pool area were great, the rest of the villa was ok. The living room could use more seating and more comfortable seating, what was there was not comfortable or enough for 4 adults. The living room and kitchen need some updating, bedrooms were fine, terrible sheets, bathrooms nice and big. We loved to sit on the deck and watch the boats come and go, the view was amazing. We also enjoyed hearing and seeing the goats out on the point. I was disappointed there wasn’t any condiments, it would have been nice to have some basic things like that, which we are used to from staying in other villas on the island.
Betsy was good to work with, quick to answer any questions.
