About this property

Mampoo House - Luxury Vacation Rental, St. John, USVI

  • An exotic and luxurious vacation rental with ocean views, surrounded by the natural beauty of St. John National Park. A short walk from the beaches of Hawksnest Bay, this three bedroom, three bath Japanese style house has three spacious decks, a plunge pool, air conditioning, outdoor shower, and an airy living room.

    A vacation house perched on the hillside above the old bay rum distillery at Hawksnest Bay, this unusual hardwood house has three bedrooms, a lovely kitchen, various decks, and a plunge pool for cooling off.

    Wake up in a mahogany and koa bed and see the turquoise water without raising your head from the pillow. Reach for a cold Ting™ right out of your own bedroom fridge and walk out on the deck to take in the tropical foliage and count the sailboats below. Stroll five minutes to the beach for a morning dip and return to brew your fresh ground coffee and lean back in a hammock to watch the banana keets squabble about for your amusement.

    An important note to prospective guests with mobility issues: There is a fairly long staircase from the driveway to the house, which may be too strenuous for some people. Please see the photos for an idea of the staircase.

An Oasis in the Trees

What a great stay we had a Mampoo House. The location and views are spectacular and the property has all of the modern amenities for a comfortable stay. Communication with Jen & Joey was great and they were really helpful making sure all of our needs were met during our stay. Running the stairs provides a great workout for those looking to get some fitness in during their stay. The plunge pool was perfect to cool off after the workout or at the end of the day. Would definitely book Mampoo House on a return visit!

Absolute perfection

Our group of 4 had a spectacular stay at Mampoo house. It is so well appointed, easy to cook in, super relaxing and beautiful. The plunge pool is an absolute delight, perfect for relaxing after a long day of snorkeling. Being so close to Oppenheimer beach was a joy to discover and made for a wonderful short walk each day. The property managers are wonderful to work with - so attentive and helpful with any questions we had. The owners of the property were so kind and really took care of us, ensuring that we had a lovely time on the the island. Would highly recommend this property.

The ultimate tree house!

What a fantastic property! Make sure you know that your group will be climbing many stairs, although the location and easy access to Oppenheimer are worth every step! The amenities provided with the house, chairs, sun tent, snorkels, spices, olive oil, and beach towels were great necessities! We cooked several nights in the house and found everything we needed. I can't say enough about the concierge, Jennifer! She had fresh fish for us upon arrival! Do yourself a favor and reach out to them asap once you're booked to help with planning!

Amazing house, location and vacation!

Mampoo house is a unique and amazing experience. We came for two weeks to celebrate our wedding anniversary and loved every minute. The location can't be beat. Right on the north shore drive, close to all the great beaches (hawksnest, trunk, cinnamon) and close to town yet secluded and private! A winning combo!! The view is incredible; the walk to the beach is easy and rewarding as you end up in an "almost" exclusive Oppenheimer beach; the house is an architectural beauty with its shoji doors creating spaces that immediately put you into vacation zen; the plunge pool is ideal for cooling off; and the extra bedrooms on the lower level provide for nice separate, space for everyone. (We had friends come and stay with us for a few days). Overall amazing house and wonderful stay with the house managers being attentive and responsive. I do recommend you read the house description as they are not kidding about the stairs and you are surrounded by nature so... yes you will hear crickets, frogs, roosters, and such at night (and day)! Loved it and plan to come back as soon as we can!

Other than a steep driveway, it was almost perfect. View was amazing and location meant that we had a short walk to one of the best (but least crowded) beaches on St. John.

Incredible Location and Island

Everything about the Mampoo house was perfect. All of the necessities for a vacation and the extra touches the manager puts on it shouldn't be overlooked. From providing a welcome basket to giving advice on places to go it really made the trip special. Would absolutely stay again and had a great time hiking/snorkeling.

Mampoo House is Amazing!

We absolutely loved our stay at Mampoo house! This is special property -- very simple, but elevated by its thoughtful design and spectacular views. The floorplan is well-suited to 3 couples with private bedrooms and baths for each. Our property manager, Jennifer, was amazingly helpful from the beginning to the end of our stay. Without question, this is now our go-to rental when vacationing in St. John!

Our favorite place on St. John!

We absolutely love Mampoo House. The location can't be beat as there is a quiet beach across the street, yet restaurants and shops are just a short drive away. The house is beautiful and beds very comfortable. You can hear the waves breaking from inside the house. Our host, Jennifer, was exceptional and was always available for questions. She even picked up our grocery order for the first day. We will always choose this property over all others.

Amazing place!

This was the first time we rented a house after staying at Caneel Bay a few times. For the same price as a one bedroom at Caneel you get a three bedroom house with amazing views, awesome architecture and unrivaled privacy. There is wifi, ac (we did not need it), laundry room, a small plunge pool and several decks. There are a couple flights of stairs to climb between the parking area and house but we're not an issue for us (family of four with two kids ages 8 and 10). The house was just renovated so everything is new with high end appliances and great interior design. Modern yet very warm. On top of all that there is an amazing concierge (Jennifer) to help you with reservations or information on anything from excursions to grocery stores. Highly recommend!

Above and beyond

We had a wonderful time at the beautiful Mampoo house. The location was great with walking distance to one of the most beautiful beaches in St John (Oppenheimer Beach) and minutes ride to Cruz Bay where we enjoyed shopping and dining. Everything you need was there at the house from shampoos to cotton buds, even bandaids, water filter, snorkel and beach towels. The Japanese architecture was just beautiful, I cannot believe the builder made the sliding doors himself. Opening and closing sliding doors took a bit but got used to it by end of day 1. Beware of mosquitos; we went in August during high season so mosquitos found its way in the cracks. Property manager Jen went above and beyond and helped us through everything like jump starting our rental jeep when the battery died... She also was very knowledgable about the house and taught us some St John culture :)

Paradise found

This property is so beautiful, with an amazing view. Private yet an easy drive to Cruz Bay (we chanted "stay left" whenever leaving). The architecture is gorgeous and the Ipe wood used throughout was smooth and cool, even in direct sun so it was comfortable going barefoot. The 72 stairs only made us plan a little better... Recycling the old cistern into a plunge pool was a brilliant idea, we used it daily. Concierge Jen was helpful and informative- she is invaluable. Already starting to plan our next trip!

Words Can’t Describe

The reality of the Mampoo House can’t be accurately captured in photos or a write up — but I will try. First the service from the concierge Jen was world class from the lead up - always ready with a quick answer/suggestion to any question… she arranged to have the house stocked with food and drink so we would be set from the moment we arrived then even met us at the ferry to bring us to the house and get set. The house it self is so unique and is both architecturally beautiful while remaining cozy and comfortable. The setting is completely serene and private — time spent at the house outdoors on the multiple decks / plunge pool // cooking meals in a beautifully equipped chefs kitchen // lounging in the screened in common area were among some of our favorite of the vacation. The location in Hawknest is among the best you could ask for with a quick walk to a beach or a quick drive to every North Shore Beach. You are also a ten minute drive to Cruz Bay for nightlife and restaurants and Coral Bay is 25 minutes the other direction. I feel lucky to have spent a week here and will return soon.
