Lovely family stay

We really enjoyed our time at 3 Palms. The house was great for our group and had everything we needed close at hand. We enjoyed exploring a few of the beaches around the island as well. Thanks for the hospitality! Should we find ourselves back on St John, 3 Palms is certainly the first place I’d check to stay.

Wonderful week!!

I simply cannot say enough about this property!! Beautiful, accommodating, convenient, the list goes on and on. I have used VRBO so many times and I have never been in a house that had literally ANYTHING you could need!! The view is amazing, the wildlife, the proximity to Cruz Bay! I would give this home 100 stars if I could! Simply amazing!

Great house - Perfect location

There were 10 of us staying at Three Palms. Unfortunately, we missed the first night because of airline issues. However, once we got to the house, it was perfect! It was a short walk to downtown St. John, the kitchen was completely stocked, the view from the patio was amazing, and communications with Jon were very prompt. I would highly recommend this place. We will definitely come and stay again.

Wonderful trip

The property was so beautiful and the location was perfect. We had adults, teens, and small children and the house was perfect and spacious for all of us. The walk to Cruz Bay was short and easy even with the kids in tow. John was so great, informative, and readily available for any questions that we had. It truly was the perfect vacation. Many memories were made and we all hope to return again!

A magical place!!`

This was our second stay at Jon's place and it was just as magical an experience as the first. Jon is incredibly available and takes care of all of the details of his home so that you feel very cared for as his guests. The villa has a very private feel despite being incredibly convenient to everything in downtown Cruz Bay. The spaces are great for large groups. Plenty of room for privacy but the great room is also really well designed for socializing. My wife and I both experienced a palpable sense of immediate relaxation as soon as we arrived. We will be back!

Great spot on the beach

Open space home with plenty of rooms. Rocky beach access with sounds of the ocean. A little tricky to get to the first time but walkable to downtown and taxi less than a 5 minute to downtown.

Great location, so much space!

Our family LOVED staying at Three Palms for our first ever visit to St. John. There was plenty of space for the nine of us ages 18 months, 5, 14, 19, 27, 28, 29 and mom and pops in our late 40's! The view from the master bedroom was a favorite part for us, ocean during the day and the beautiful star filled sky at night! Everyone having their own room was perfect, the hot tub was a favorite but the best part, the location!!! Close enough to Cruz Bay shopping and restaurants, grocery stores and nightlife. It worked out perfect for our family who didn't always have the same plan in mind for the day or night, those of us that wanted to go into town, perfect little walk. Those that wanted to stay in, the patio was an awesome spot to chill and relax! Jon was great, easy to contact, very responsive and super helpful. Couldn't recommend Three Palms enough!

Loved Three Palms House - couples vacation

Four couples stayed at Three Palms and all of us loved it. Having a spacious house on the water was phenomenal. Listen to the waves, having morning coffee on the large patio during sunrise, enjoying the hot tub after dinner or day at the beach we’re some of the favorites. Jon, the host, was awesome and very accommodating. Place is very maintained and kitchen was perfect especially for a group of 8. Never have had 2 wash and 2 dry machines at a property before which helped with a large group. The grouped enjoyed the short special trail walk into town for dinner which took 5-8 mins going to Beach Bar. Jon provided nice beach chairs, towels, coolers for the beach and floats if you want to chill in the water just steps from patio. Overall, house was perfect for the 4 couples and made the trip extra special having our own private location. Thanks again Jon!!

Amazing villa right on the water

Our whole group loved this place. It is a rarity to find a place near the water and one from which you can walk into town in 5 min via a pleasant trail. You can hear the waves at night and we enjoyed floating on the provided floaties during the day. Jon was a wonderful host and spent lots of time with the map showing us snorkeling spots and answering all of our questions. The kitchen is a dream if you like to cook - there was a full spice drawer and everything we needed. A note about arrival: if you've never stayed on St. John before you'll probably be flabbergasted by their address system. The roads have names but no one uses them in addresses - you just get a number and a neighbourhood and of course that doesn't work on Google maps. Our cab driver didn't know the address so we ended up having to call Jon and have him direct the driver, which all went fine, but it would've been easier to have a location on a map. The house is beside Sea Shore Allure, which is on Google maps. But the island's strange address system can't be helped, and everything about this place exceeded our expectations. Thank you Jon for being such a wonderful host!

Amazing house! Perfect location!

Our 2 families with 4 teens enjoyed a wonderful week here. We loved the openness, windows and high ceilings in the house. There is amazing kayaking, swimming and snorkeling right out the door. We had a lot of fun adventuring to other beaches and walking downtown. Jon is a professional host...super friendly and available . I highly recommend this property and would hope to come back :)

First Class

We did not even get a chance to stay at this property, but if the property is anything like the owner, Jon, then we are certain that we would give it five stars across the board. We made the decision to cancel our vacation to St. John the day before we were set to check in at Three Palms. The quick changes that were happening due to the COVID pandemic made it difficult for us to consider traveling as a family. We called the VRBO office and left a message, and Jon responded immediately. He couldn't have been more gracious about the whole thing. He understood the decision that we had to make and was willing to give us a full refund for our vacation. We appreciated this so much. Jon not only did something very nice for us, but he did the right thing as far as doing his part in responding to the global pandemic. We cannot wait to be able to book Three Palms again!

Amazing House

This house was amazing! The location, the view, the pictures don’t even do it justice. The house had all the essentials, bath and beach towels, toiletries, trash bags, even cooking spices. David was extremely helpful and accommodating, from giving us detailed instructions before our trip, to meeting us at the house when we arrived to show us around and give us recommendations on things to do and places to go, to even sending us a quick text mid week just to see if we needed him to pick us up anything from the store. We got groceries delivered to the house and he even met them at the house early and put all the groceries away for us. The house was extremely clean, every bedroom is beautiful and has its perks. We went with a group of 10 friends and most of them have never been to St. John so this house was the perfect place to introduce them to this amazing island, they were all amazed and we agreed we definitely have to come back and stay here again.

Amazing Girlfriend’s Trip

Our vacation was a pleasure from start to end. From the beginning, Jon was patient and responsive to all our questions. There were originally 10 of us joining our annual girlfriends trip and everyone had questions. Three Palms seemed almost too good to be true. It in fact exceeded all our expectations. It is a beautiful home and was the perfect size for the 8 of us that went. It was perfectly stocked w necessities. Each bedroom was charming. The patio had a lovely view and was a favorite morning coffee spot. One friend will be making plans to bring her family. Many enjoyed a morning walk to watch the town wake up and were joined by a darling duck they named Ting on several mornings. It was hysterical. There are no negatives! Kudos to Jon and his wonderful managers, David and Julie. We loved it all! Thank you for our best girlfriend’s trip yet. We all want to come back.

Can’t say enough great things about this property—I’ve been coming to STJ for 20 years and as long as Three Palms is there, I will be booking for every future trip! Proximity to town is fantastic, views are incredible, house was updated and easily accommodated our party of 7.
