The villa has beautiful views and we enjoyed seeing the iguanas everyday! Everything you could need was supplied and they even have lots of extra sunscreen and bug spray. The bedroom downstairs has a humidity problem but it does have a dehumidifier in there that needs to be emptied daily. The only thing that we didn’t care for was the road going up to the villa and the dirt road leading to the villa. Very rocky and something slashed our tire and it went flat immediately coming in.

We have been to the USVI several times but always at a resort. This was our first stay on St. John itself and first time in a house. It did not disappoint. The house is perfect for two couples with essentially miror image suites on either side of the house. The indoor space is very nice, comfortable and quite well appointed and the outdoor space is awesome. The deck overlooking beuatuful Cruz Bay and the pool one level down is a fantastic place to spend your time. Close to ferry, downtown Cruz Bay and its restauratns and attractions and close to other resorts. The drive up to the house is serious but once you've done it a time or two, its no problem. We love the safe and friendly feel of St. John and this beautiful property is a great choice! Access to the rest of the gorgeous place that is St. John is easy. We LOVE it and will be back. Thanks!
Great property for two couples. Equal bedrooms with private baths + half bath in large common area. Lower level 3rd Bedroom apparently in construction. Beautiful, comfortable pool is on lower level which could be an issue for anyone with mobility issues or avoiding stairs. Gorgeous views of St Thomas. Welcome basket from owner was a nice surprise. Well organized kitchen with all appliances & utensils and some decent wine glasses as well as tulip flutes for bubbly. (We've found these glasses oddly lacking in other villas & hard to buy). We had a minor problem with the grill but maintenance was there promptly the next morning. The grill was located outside the entrance which was a bit odd but manageable. Overall 5 stars. Thank you!
Exotic View exceeded our explanations. Gorgeous views, clean, comfortable, and well-stocked kitchen. Renovation of 3rd room downstairs was in process at time of our stay, so we did not have access to that part of the house. We hope to return to St. John, and we would definitely stay at Exotic View again.
This home had everything we needed! The house had what felt like all the essentials from beach towels, beach chairs, beach bags and a washer and dryer. The kitchen was well equipped and extremely organized. There was a very large welcome basket on the counter upon arrival. The pool was fantastic. When we weren't out exploring the island we were in the pool. We had a great stay and we would book this house again.
We stayed in this house with another couple. It was absolutely perfect size, and both bedrooms/bathrooms are beautiful and spacious. The pool is fantastic (keep an eye out for the iguana perched on his tree at sunset on the side of the waterfall!). Speaking of the waterfall, it made for very calming background noise throughout our time there. It was very convenient to get to town. The house was immaculate and incredibly well organized. We were left several essentials upon our arrival, and there are beach bags towels and chairs for your use. The washing machine and dryer were great as well. We would absolutely return to this house!
