Great house, great location, great people to work with! We will be back!

We recently spent a week at Villa Defina with a large multi-generational family group, and it exceeded our expectations. Having stayed at several rental properties on St. John over the years, we can confidently say this was one of the best-equipped and best-maintained homes we've experienced.The outdoor space was fantastic for a large group. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out without feeling on top of one another, yet the layout still kept us connected. We especially appreciated the variety of seating and gathering areas, with a nice mix of sun and shade throughout the day.Inside, the main kitchen, dining, and living areas were spacious and comfortable, with beautiful views and enough room for everyone to gather without feeling cramped. The bedrooms were clean, well-appointed, and met all of our needs.The two stand alone ice makers, in addition to the one in the kitchen freezer, were incredibly useful for filling coolers for beach days. The kitchen itself was well-stocked and featured higher-quality cookware and equipment than we typically find in vacation rentals, making it easy to prepare meals for our entire group.Other amenities that stood out included the extra washer and dryer set, which was extremely helpful for a large group, and the extensive collection of beach gear. The home owner was extremely easy to work with and make our family vacation top notch..

The owner was and has been delight Facilities were great, dw detergent, laundry detergent, and trash bags were scarce. Beach chairs were great and plentiful, kitchen tools and equipment was very nice too. Didn't use basement - my son did some workout there but that was all.

What a great house - hated to leave! Plenty of room for a large family gathering (we had 11) and an extraordinary view. The house manager was great with helping us organize in-house catering, scheduling a boat tour and making dining reservations. A vacation we'll not forget!
