Our family had a wonderful time on the island and the house was perfect for us. The owner and manager were very accessible and answered all of our questions. We had access to beach chairs and a small cooler and used the gas grill often. The breeze would cool things off most evenings but we did have a couple of warm ones but fans in the bedrooms were helpful. The north shore beaches weren’t that far away and we love the Coral Bay area.

Perfect location, laid back, everything we needed!

As a native Virgin Islander it’s difficult to find the time to return home from the states. However, whenever there’s a window I jump at the chance. The stay here was peaceful, convenient, and accommodating. I love to cook and the kitchen provided everything I needed. Whether I wanted to rest outside or go to the beach my wife and I had everything at our fingertips. I would definitely return.

We had an amazing week (our first time) on St John. Spyglass Hill House was an excellent home base for our group of 7 (4 adults and 3 children). We loved staying on the quieter, Coral Bay side of the island. There are restaurants to eat at and markets to shop in. The location was nice for getting to the north shore beaches as well as the east end beaches (Salt Pond and Hansen were great for swimming and snorkeling)! The house has amazing evening breezes, and was very comfortable for sleeping. The mornings and evenings were so comfortable to sit out on the large deck. The house had everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking. There was a variety of items for beach use (towels, coolers, chairs, etc…). The kids loved the selections of games and activities. The living spaces were great for spreading out or gathering together. We fell in love with St John and were so sad to leave. We would definitely stay in this home again if we get the chance to come back!

This was the perfect home base on the quiet side of the island for our family. My parents are in their 60s and the downstairs apartment was the perfect space for them (gave them some space from our 2 wild toddlers). We spent hours on the deck and grilled every night. Can't say enough good things. Seriously already planning our next trip, St. John has our heart!

We loved our time at Spyglass! It was just perfect for our family (2 adults, 5 kids) It totally fits our style - a little bit off the beaten path (about 25 minutes outside of Cruz Bay), but comfortable. We have been to St. John a couple of times before and prefer the less crowded beach towards the east end of this island, so this location was perfect. You are about 7 minutes from Salt Pond, which has something for everyone. We enjoyed having everyone unplugged but we were still able to sneak in a little work at night with the Wifi. The house not "new" but it is very well maintained. It is accessible with a van (you don't have to have jeep). Eating meals on the back deck overlooking the bay was incredible. There was a constant ocean breeze from the east while we were there, when combined with the various fans in the house kept us comfortable. The house, like many on the island, does not have A/C, but it wasn't ever uncomfortable for us or our kids. There are a number of games and books there that our family enjoyed. Our kids would snorkel during the day and then would look up the fish / animals they saw in the guide books at the house. It was great. The owner and property manager were both super responsive and helpful before and during our stay. I hope we get to stay here again!
