Villa holiday rentals in Water Island

We had an amazing week at the Tropical Palm Villa!! Spencer was extremely helpful and always quick to respond to any questions we had. Mason met us and made us feel right at home while checking us into the villa. The views from villa are incredible! The place was perfect for my family of five to enjoy St. Thomas and all it has to offer. We were especially grateful for the amenities that made cooking and grilling a breeze. We also enjoyed the beach gear that was provided, including chairs, beach umbrella, and snorkel gear. The location of the house is perfect, offering easy access to the beach, or a quick drive into Red Hook for restaurants, groceries, and the ferry to St. John. Overall, we had a tremendous week and hope to make it back soon.

Kristen's place was top-tier!! Not to mention the beautiful views and over accommodations. She offered more amenities than we expected. Overall, we had an amazing time and would definitely consider staying there again.

This is the greatest place we’ve ever stayed. It had a breathtaking view, was well appointed, quiet, peaceful, and tranquil. Memory Daze is a dream and we will be coming back. The hosts were supper communicative and helpful and the house had everything we needed to have a great vacation. I literally teared up when we were about to leave because it was such a happy place for my wife and I. If you are reading this and contemplating a vacation here in St. John, do it! Book this place now. You won’t regret it.

Enjoyed our stay. Wished it was a little warmer in the pools and definitely wanted a hot tub! But yes we enjoyed our stay!

We returned to Elysium this spring, having rented the same home 18 years ago for our honeymoon. The living area is upstairs, with 2 bedrooms downstairs on the second level, each with a separate entrance and bathrooms. It is ~15min from Cruz Bay, but worth the drive - private with unbelievable views. There is lots of outdoor space on both levels, and of course the private pool. There are lots of beautiful native plants on the property, and there are birds everywhere to serenade you. BookVI was very proactive and flexible. They guided us to the property and were in communication every day to make sure that all was good. You will want a jeep as the road from town is a little hilly, there is a very short strip of unpaved road just before the driveway, and the driveway is paved but steep. (as is the case with many of the hillside homes!) This was a peaceful place to wake up every morning, and to spend the evening after exploring beaches and hiking. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful stay! Amazing all around, from the villa's accommodations to the view! Just Wow!!!! Thank you Xaverie and Stephanie.

I appreciate Randall meeting near the property to provide directions and information. The house was very clean and the views are stunning from the back patio.

Emma’s via is fantastic - beautiful views, amenities, and privacy. Our extended family visited and the pod-style setup worked perfectly to provide ample space. As for the location, we love Coral Bay’s balance of natural beauty, leisurely pace, and east / north end access. Some of the easiest, most efficient check in / out procedures I’ve encountered - very impressed. As mentioned in other reviews, make sure you’re comfortable on steep, narrow roads and have a suitable rental for the terrain. Amazing place - excited to get back!

Absolutely Perfect Stay at Just Peachy! Our stay at Just Peachy in St. John was nothing short of incredible! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning views of the mountains and ocean—it truly felt like paradise. The villa itself was immaculate, beautifully designed, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. Melissa, our host, was phenomenal! She was incredibly responsive, always just a message away, and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. Whether it was providing great local recommendations, answering any questions we had, or simply ensuring we felt at home, her hospitality was unmatched. Waking up to breathtaking sunrises, lounging on the patio with the cool island breeze, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings made this trip unforgettable. If you're looking for the perfect getaway in St. John, Just Peachy is the place to be. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you, Melissa, for making our trip so special!

We really enjoyed this condo on St. John!! It was so comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved sitting out on the covered balcony, enjoying the view, both in the morning while having our coffee and in the evening watching the sunset! The location was fantastic! We walked to town for restaurants & groceries, and we walked to the taxi area to get a ride to the beautiful beaches! There was a steep hill walking back to the condo, but it was worth it for the condo and its location! It was just right for us and our two teenagers:)

Chirag was so kind and responsive! His place is gorgeous. The pool felt amazing after a long day at the beach or a hike. The place looked just as pictured. I would definitely come back!

We had a great stay at Eureka. The home was extremely nice, clean, and very well appointed. Elise was also amazing. Not only did she meet us as we got our Jeep rental to lead us to the house, but she was continually trying to make our stay better. From making sure we had kids sizes for snorkel gear to having the generator running before we even knew there was a power outage. The view and privacy of the home we also fantastic. We will definitely be back and for much longer than a week next time.

Our stay at Villa Michelle was absolutely beautiful! The views from the Airbnb were breathtaking, and the rooms were cozy and comfortable. Michelle, the host, was incredibly attentive and available for any questions or concerns we had. The amenities were top-notch—a premium espresso machine, a regular coffee maker, and a filtered water system for drinking water. She even provided an iron, a steamer, and all the little essentials you need on vacation. For added convenience, she had sunblock and sunscreen readily available. 10 out of 10—highly recommend! The next time we visit St. Thomas, we’ll definitely be staying here again.

Claudia was great and very responsive. Also gave helpful info for the ferry and jeep rentals. Curtis, the property manager was also great and helped us with a jeep and fishing & snorkel charter recommendations. Just good people that took good care of us. I'd highly recommend Claudia.

This was our second stay at Mandavilla Rose. It was a great base for our long weekend in St. John. We loved coming back to the pool after a day at the beach and our Friends of the Park Power Swim. And perhaps our favorite time was sitting around the large dining table after dinner with wine, playing the conversation card game that we found on the shelf. We hope to return next year.

Absolutely perfect for a few couples trying to get away. Everyone has their own rooms and private patio. The living room was beautiful and spacious. very close to the beach and Margaritaville. We did have some issues with the hot water while on site but the hosts were insanely responsive and got the issue fixed immediately. I was not a huge fan of the beach as we came during the seaweed season, but Coki beach which is a short walk away was amazing.

Coconut Breeze was as good as advertised. The home was comfortable, well stocked and had spectacular views, absolutely perfect for our group of 6. Definitely get a 4 wheel drive vehicle as the roads leading up are steep and a bumpy, but hey it’s St John and that’s what you signed up for. While the home is tucked into the private, lush jungle hillside it’s also conveniently located a short drive away from multiple restaurants, grocery stores etc. We had an issue with an AC unit in the cottage, but it was promptly resolved by our host. The cottage porch was not screened in, but maybe this is something that will be done in the future. If you are staying in Coral Bay Coconut Breeze is the way.

This place was even better than described. Anything you could think of or might need was available to use. Peaceful, private and clean. One of the best places I’ve ever stayed! We would definitely book with this host in the future. Thank you 😊

Great location. Outstanding view. Very clean. Super private and peaceful. Worth the price. Just remember if you book here you will need a lot of taxis or a rental car for sure.

Sundancer is a gorgeous, more contemporary villa with a rich history, in a beautiful, peaceful location about 15 mins outside of Cruz Bay. Owner Rob provided a lot of useful information about the ferries, jeep rental, restaurants, things to do, before our arrival, and Lauren from Driftwood met us to escort us to the villa, which was so helpful considering driving on the left side of the narrow, winding roads was a new experience for us! We loved every minute we spent on St. John and at this beautiful villa! Thanks Rob and Lauren for all your help making this one of the most memorable vacations we've ever had. We will be back!

Craig and Kendra were both stupendous. Their house felt very warm and inviting, we felt right at home. The parking was great their pool was beautiful. It’s a great location because I can get to various attractions within minutes. What amazing views from the bedroom. There’s lots to do here. I recommend this place 100%

This was an excellent spot for our group to all be together and also be close to the beach. We would suggest this to others looking for a private space nearby Magen’s Bay!

We had such a great time staying at the villa. The home was set up perfect for our group. Everything was very clean and the views were unbeatable. John and the property managers were very helpful with any questions we had. They even met us at the ferry dock to make sure we made it to the villa ok. Next time we come to St.John we will plan on staying again. Thank you for your hospitality.

We loved our stay. There is nothing like waking up to that view. The house was incredibly well thought out. The kitchen was a dream—with everything we needed…even pans to make a birthday cake and a blender to make smoothies—which we did. The beds were great with an array of pillows to choose from. The showers were works of art with amazing views out to the mountains. There were so many outdoor sitting areas to choose from, and everywhere you looked, it was simply beautiful. On the practical side of things, the two washers and two dryers made things so much easier for our large family to get our beach and hiking clothes cleaned up quickly. The roads on the island and the road up to the house were harrowing at first—but by the end of week, they were fun to drive. You’ll want a jeep! Leave the house by 8:00 AM, and beach parking won’t be an issue. Parking was harder at Cruz Bay, but there was always pay parking available. Try the Mahi sandwich or burger at the Trunk Bay food shack!
