Family and friends stayed at this beautiful villa for 11 days. It was everything promised and delivered for a fun filled vacation. I can't say enough good things about it...... the view was gorgeous, the pool and hot tub clean and ready to enjoy, the grill working and propane tank filled and ready to go, the beds comfy and bathrooms well stocked with towels, beach towels, beach chairs clean (no rust) and ready for the beach. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed and more!. The living room comfortable for all guests and a table nearby for card games played every night. I think of all the houses we have ever rented for vacations (and there have been many) this was the best of them all. Location was perfect and close to the North Shore Beaches. Cinnamon Bay was our favorite although many others nearby that we enjoyed. Hosts were readily available and responsive. Simply the best house ever!

This is a wonderful place to stay with family, with incredible views from every room in the house. This was our first time staying on Saint John, and I think the location was perfect, close to both Cruz Bay and Coral Bay, hiking trails, restaurants and the beautiful beaches. The hosts Julie and David are wonderful and made us feel extra welcome with their concierge service. The house is equipped with all the amenities you will need for a big family. Thank you so much Julie and David, you have a lovely home!

Mystic Ridge exceeded our expectations!! The view was absolutely breathtaking… pictures really don’t do it justice! The house was clean and the bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely furnished (make sure you have one person or couple in your group who is okay with climbing spiral stairs, there is one bedroom that is only accessible via steep spiral stairs, which was fine for our family). The pool and hot tub were icing on the cake! The location is unbeatable- you are central to everything on the island, which makes bopping around the whole island very convenient. Would gladly stay here again!

The Good: The location, the property itself, furniture was great, outdoor space great, host very responsive and nice. The Bad: Rats and Cockroaches. We've been coming to St. John for 15+ years and have never had this before. Rats in the house. Droppings on the couch, droppings/urine on the kitchen counters, droppings on the bathroom countertop. Host was great to come and put out more traps, but there were still more. Running behind the TV shelves when we were watching a movie. Running in the kitchen when I was loading dishwasher. Islands always have critters, but the cockroaches were excessive. Coming out of the couch when you'd sit down. Climbing around the kitchen cabinets and in the pantry. I'd kill 3-4 an evening around the kitchen. We have never stayed anywhere on the island that had rats, or this many cockroaches. We have had an iguana problem in one place, but nothing like this. One more note in case it matters to someone's needs, the internet is well-below average, even for the island. It's generally much better around Cruz Bay than Coral, but even for Coral this was bad. Yes there are streaming services on the TV, but the movies we streamed suffered from excessive buffering most of the time. My speedcheck app measured it at .8 mbps. Not really useful for anything. In sum, this is a property that has great views, good location, and really good furnishings and layout. But for the amount of $ charged, the rats and cockroaches put a significant damper on the enjoyment of the trip.
