The description is accurate, this unit is a gem! Very clean, tasteful decor and view better than we expected. We sat on the balcony each morning and enjoyed the view. The kitchen had everything we needed with quality dishware, utensils, etc. Highly recommend!

This condo was fully appointed! We didn’t need to use the dishes no one wanted. Every dish looked new! Ha! Everything worked and we had no issues! The space was clean, close to town and exactly as described. We didn’t rent the upstairs but did take a peek and it so inviting!!! The breeze came with the place too! No need for the air although it was nice to have that option. Thank you for having us! We hope you’ll have us again!!

My mom and I stayed a week at this beautiful spot before Christmas. The owners have truly thought of every single thing imaginable that you would need when here. We did not cook, but the kitchen was fully stocked if you wanted to do so. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of linens provided. Great porch for coffee or cocktails, looking out over cruise bay and the town. Place was very spacious and comfortable for the two of us. We will definitely book again!

This was the absolutely best place for the four of us to stay (myself, husband, adult son and his girlfriend). The location is perfect - just a short walk up a very steep hill from town. This allowed us to go into town without the hassle of looking for parking. The view from the unit is just beautiful. There is a small pool just steps away from the unit. Amenities are amazing - beach tent, Yeti backpack cooler, beach towels, beach chairs, spices, coffee, tea, jugs for cold water, books, games….etc! We would definitely return to this unit if opportunity arises. Loved our stay here!

We were lucky enough to find a booking here for a quickly planned trip. The owner and manager were very prompt in responses to us about this space given another booking property was deemed unavailable after we booked our airfare ! This property is as advertised that it’s all recently renovated , everything is absolutely spotless , modern and comfortable. There is an amazing view of Cruz Bay from the patio - we are going to miss having our coffee there !! It’s close enough yo walk to town if you want to - understanding its on the top of the hill 😀. Check in and check out were very clear with great communication with the property manager for all questions. It also includes a parking space if you have a jeep rental. This property is a great base for a vacation exploring St John !

This property is in the perfect location to walk to town. The owner thought of everything you might need while on vacation. Very thoughtfully stocked. Second floor would be great for older children who can be trusted on the stairs. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a trip to paradise.

Property is very clean. They supplied us with additional cleaning products, vacuum if needed. They were very thoughtful with stocking kitchen with everything you could need. Beach back pack cooler was appreciated along with chairs. Only downside is up stairs shows never got hot and was ice cold beside that place was perfect. Great location and felt safe.

Amazing!
Just loved this place! Perfectly located with easy access to restaurants. Gorgeous view from balcony. Entire condo was so comfortable because the owner took so much time to make sure every last detail was thought of. Entire place was stocked with all the items you could possibly need to feel super comfortable and enjoy your vacation. Can’t say enough good things about this place. Will definitely go back and stay here! I wish all the VRBO rentals lived up to this one!

We absolutely loved our stay at Harbor View. Couldn’t have asked for a better location. Just a short drive to our favorite beaches and could walk to town for dinner. The condo was just beautiful. Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay!!

A perfect location and a thoughtfully appointed apartment
This place had every little thoughtful touch a vacationer could want. Books, beach bags, SPF/after sun spray, sun covers, full kitchen with all the appliances. We have stayed in 3 different apartments in the small complex and this one was by felt like real people loved and lived in it. A few notes: there are no instructions on how to use a complicated digital stove and combination convection oven/microwave. It took 4 us some time and a bit of frustration to figure both out. They work great but instructions would be helpful. Also, the beds are very firm. It was not a comfy sleeping experience. That could be personal preference and I assume the humid tropical weather makes a pillow top hard to maintain. I think it is clear from the photos but the apartment is not accessible. There are stairs down to the unit and a very narrow, spiral staircase to the second bedroom/loft. Even the most nimble of us had to tread very, very carefully going up and down the staircase. St. John is a wonder and this place was a perfect place to stay. We loved it and will definitely be back.

We stayed here for a week in April. The condo is beautiful, clean, and has everything you could need (and more!) The view is spectacular and pool area is clean and attractive. We walked back and forth from Cruz Bay (stopping to catch our breath on the way back up) and really enjoyed being able to go to bars and restaurants without getting back in the Jeep. Would stay here again in a heart beat!

This is a beautiful place just a few minutes walk from down town Cruz Bay. While its on a hill and the climb can be an effort if you are not used to walking, everything is close by and the view from the balcony is just stunning. Our family loved every minute of our stay at this place. Just stunning

Four of us adults stayed and we had an awesome experience staying at this condo. It was located close to town for walking to restaurants, grocery store, ect. The manager was great at communication as well. The owners provide everything you could need for your vacation including coolers, beach towels, etc. The loft area of the condo is quite spacious (although the spiral staircase leading up to it is tight). And it has the convenience of a bathroom with a shower up there as well. Would recommend to anyone!

This was our first time staying on St John and we will be back! The pictures of the property were very accurate so their was no disappointment. The real treat with this property were the extras that the owner provided - things like a Yeti backpack cooler, board games, beach towels, pool towels, tote bags, umbrellas, battery operated candles and flashlights that automatically turn on when the power goes out (which of course it did!... lol). The property manager was very helpful and made sure that we were well informed. The owners really deserve high marks for for providing a perfect property and St John experience. We will be back soon.

We really enjoyed our stay at Harbor View with the private balcony, salt pool , and also enjoyed meeting others staying there at Battery Hill. One couple were owners from Vermont. We thought we were going to have to buy ice but, we found more ice trays and took out one of the drawers in freezer and stored trays there and we keep plenty of Ice. You might want to let your other guests know about that. The kitchen was very well equipped with nice pots and utensils. Thanks for a great week!! Anne and Tim Bishop
