Beautiful home and property with a gorgeous view. There is a rooster and 2 hens on the property which I thought was very cute! The walk to the beach is actually 7 minutes - not 1 minute. But you cannot walk there as there is no sidewalk so you do need to drive. Property manager was very responsive if we had a problem. Loved staying there but did not appreciate having to drive all over to find a trash dump to haul our trash on our last day there.

Our family of five (3 kids in their 20s) enjoyed our stay at Jayhawk villa. It's a ranch house with three bedrooms, about 7m walk to the beach. Great view of the water, and well appointed kitchen. The primary BR has foliage obstructing view to the water, but the other two BRs have great views. The courtyard is a sweet feature. The walk to the beach is easy, but a bit tight with cars, and steep, especially if carrying gear back uphill. There are limited parking spots at the beach. Was fine for us. We enjoyed dinner at the Sunset Grille there. Owner was very responsive, and the place was clean and in great shape. Nice find!

Loved our stay! The pictures don’t really do it Justice! It’s bigger than expected! Large rooms and great outdoor space! Decorated beautifully and very clean! All beds were so comfortable which makes a great nights sleep! We had an issue with the water heater but they were right on it to fix. We were close to the best beach called Secret Harbor beach and it was so nice and the Silver Grill restaurant there was our favorite! What a gem and really hope to go back!!

The villa is truly stunning, exuding both elegance and cleanliness. It boasts ample space, comfortably accommodating my family of seven. The views from the villa are nothing short of breathtaking, and the added advantage of a swift walk to Secret Harbor Beach completes the picture of an ideal retreat.

Jayhawk was perfect for us. I chose it to celebrate my 50th with my family and to show our children where we met, had our first date and got engaged. We worked cruise ships and our Saturday port was St Thomas. We have wonderful memories of the island.
The location to Secret Harbor was great. Fantastic snorkeling and general beach laziness. We ate at the bar a couple of nights too.
It is close to a couple of super markets. To be fair, everything is close. We drove around the island in about and hour or so. It's quite the adventure.
We will be back for sure.

Our stay at Jayhawk was most accommodating.
Four generations gathered together at Jayhawk Villa to surround the matriarch of our family 100th birthday with love, laughter and so many stories.
Thank you!

We really enjoyed our time at this darling villa near Red Hook. We spent the days on St. John and St. Thomas and came back to this charming property! The owner was very responsive and helpful and was even kind enough to let us drop our bags early so we could enjoy the day on the island without them in tow. The villa was clean and had a nice view. The descriptions of how to get there were so helpful and check out was easy, as well. It was very close to the ferry terminal and good restaurants. A great location and great place to stay!

We stayed at Jayhawk for a friend’s wedding with a few friends. Most of the rest of the wedding party stayed at Secret Harbor Beach Resort and we were so happy to be here! The garden is gorgeous, the porch was so relaxing and the space inside is huge. Not overly fancy but fits the chill vibe of the island. Only negatives I could say are that it is challenging to back a car into the driveway and when walking down to secret harbor, especially at night, you have to watch closely for cars when walking on the road. Otherwise a wonderful time and would totally go back!

Property has great view. Easy walk to Secret Harbour where there is great beach & beach bar/restaurant. Very well provisioned with all needed. Back courtyard patio is wonderful w/great garden. Good access to Red Hook. If you like to sleep with windows open, you will hear road noise - didn’t bother our group but something to mention. We will be back as we really enjoyed our stay.

The property is decorated beautifully. Great view of Secret Harbour Bay. The house is well stocked with whatever you need and things are nicely labeled and easy to find. Very close to downtown Red Hook for stores, restaurants, etc. Cherise and the property manager, Gloria were wonderful to work with. We had a minor electrical issue and they had it resolved right away. Felt very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our visit to St. Thomas. It's a sharp turn into the driveway, but if that's the worst complaint, you know it's good!

Two weeks with three generations in this place and I’m hooked! Spacious, and the deck! We came down planning to do 10 things and just spent most every day within 1 mile of the place. Secret Harbour was the perfect place for our 2 1/2 year old daughter - she swam, made sandcastles and actually snorkeled with us by the end of the trip! We’ll be back very soon!

Great Location and Wonderful Owners!
We have vacationed on St. Thomas many times, but this time we brought our family (4 children) and wanted to stay in a new location. This villa was perfect! It was large enough to accompany all of us comfortably and central to everything we do on St. Thomas. In fact, before this stay, we never realized how much time we spent on the East End. We had always just entered in GPS locations and driven a good distance to all of our favorite beaches and restaurants not realizing they are all down here. The villa is an ideal location- quick walk to Secret Harbour, 4 min drive to Red Hook, and near to other beaches like Coki, Sapphire, Lindquist, etc. They have beach chairs and towels for you and everything you would need in a kitchen to cook family meals- which was important to us. The deck will give you wonderful views of the sunset overlooking Secret Harbour. Secret Harbour has wonderful snorkeling along the rocks on both sides (we watched an octopus hunt for 20+ minutes about 5 feet off the beach and found lobster hiding amongst the urchins) and the food at Sunset Grill is consistently good every time. Best of all, the owners of Jayhawk Villa are amazing! This trip was several years in the making and due to severe life-threatening illnesses and the beginning of the COVID pandemic, it was rescheduled several times; however, Cherise was very easy to work with and always quick to respond to emails/texts. She really wants you to have a great time during your stay on the island. I would 100% recommend Jayhawk Villa to anyone looking to vacation in St. Thomas.

This property has everything you need to enjoy your time in St. Thomas. Most times I go grocery shopping on the way to a property but I highly suggest you visit the house 1st because I learned that every guest seems to leave something you think you may need. There was even coffee creamer, ketchup and spices left from previous visitors. The view from the balcony is lovely especially while enjoying a morning cup of joe. If there was any complaint it would be the bugs (no see-ums as they call them). This has no bearing on the property but you had better be prepared to use bug spray and the nice owner had some waiting by the door. If you leave the windows open to enjoy the breeze make sure it has a screen :). Overall the property was wonderful and both friends I brought are already reviewing dates that they can return and rent from Cherise who was extremely responsive btw.

Awesome Family Vacation
Cherise and Gloria were amazing and very responsive. The villa was awesome and conveniently located close to bars, stores, and the beach. Beautiful views from the villa. Would recommend renting a car (preferably a Jeep) to move around the island. Our family had a great time celebrating my mom's birthday in Saint Thomas. Would definitely recommend staying at the Jayhawk Villa.
