No coffee, floors are cracked, maid was still cleaning when we showed up. Back bedroom AC was an epic fail. It was not what it seems to be online.

The condo/apartment was not as described at all. The pictures were taken from the most extreme advantage location not as it really was. It was difficult to get to it from the street especially with luggage. I will not advise anyone to stay at this location.

Def worth the price!

Positives: super high end appliances, cookware, dishes, blender, toaster, microwave, etc. Comfortably sleeps 4 (2 ppl in each queen bed). Bedrooms, kitchen, patio, and livingroom area were clean and comfortable. Great location! Short walk to town, and short drive to the beaches. Prop manager was easy to contact with questions.Negatives: Bathroom needs some serious TLC (ceiling is unpainted, shower curtain bar is not super secure) but it's all cosmetic. Hot water only lasts about 10 mins, and then about a 10 min wait before the next person showers. Kitchen floor tiles very cracked. Living area and eating area very tight for 4 people. Back patio overlooks a yard area that is very dirty and unkemp, but the farther view is of the water which was very nice. The outside of the property is not kept up nicely though it has amazing potential! Just needs someone to maintain it's cleanliness. Parking is VERY VERY TIGHT!!! Two spots in the front for I believe 8 units, and then you need to park across the street which isn't wide enough so your rental car hangs out into the street unless you park the drivers door literally against the stone wall and climb over and exit the car from the passenger side.All said and done, for the price - it was definitely worth it! When we go to St. John we go for the beaches and restaurants. We are in the villa to shower and sleep. So it was just fine for us. However, if we had a few of rainy days it would've been tough to stay in.

Could be better

The room itself was just “okay.” Roomy, with all amenities. I wish we knew that the second bedroom, accessible only through an outdoor terrace, not fun walking to the bathroom at night. The sliding door for the bedroom didn’t lock or close fully, leaving approximately a 1/4-inch gap and feeling unsafe. The main bedroom did not have an air conditioning unit, requiring the door to stay open all night, lacking privacy. Neither bedroom had blinds/shades. While the living area and bathroom were spacious, the overall condition needs improvement. mosquito problem in the room was severe. Despite following the owner’s spraying guidelines, they persisted, hiding in curtains, behind the bed, and couch. This was the first time we encountered this much of an issue on the island. The exterior, dark and unkempt. While the property has potential, it needs work..

Rustic

Property was okay. Outdoor space was buggy. Very basic and okay for our needs, but not amazing. Close to town, but being a pedestrian was sketchy.
