Top Hotels Near Great Cruz Bay in St. John from AU$162

"Great room and staff"

"It was absolutely wonderful "

"The property was clean and had a great deck with amazing views. The location was great- far enough from the traffic in Cruz Bay, but close enough that it took less than 10 minutes to get to restaurants, the grocery store, etc. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed. Communication with the host was good and she was very responsive. However, communication with the property manager wasn’t great- the directions to get there were not accurate based on where we were coming from and it took several calls and us driving around and around to figure out where to go. The front door stuck badly and took multiple tries to open and close. There was only AC in the two bedrooms and loft got really hot, so our son had to move downstairs and share the other bedroom. The couch in the living room was stained and very uncomfortable. Also, be aware that there is only 1 shower for the whole house- we didn’t realize this as the listing showed 2 bathrooms. There were two shower heads in said shower, but only one of them would allow hot water to come out. And due to the fact that there is only AC in the bedrooms, the bathrooms were very stuffy and hot. Lack of central AC may be the case for most houses in St. John, but as this was our first time there, I can’t say for sure."

"Unfortunately we had a lot of problems during our stay. The views and location are great. But the house was not ready for check in until almost 6pm. Since we had travelled all day with children we were allowed to sit on the outside deck while the cleaner “finished” cleaning at 6pm. Since we couldn’t use the inside of the house we ended up having to order pizza rather than cook dinner. When the cleaner left we still had to clean two bathrooms which were filthy and hadn’t been touched. We contacted the rental company and no refund for cleaning was given. Then during our stay we ended up stranded twice—once all the way in Coral Bay because our Jeep broke down and the emergency contact instructed us to leave the Jeep and find a way home because he wasn’t able to get out there for hours. This resulted in us paying to put people from our party in a taxi and squeezing the other 7 of us in one Jeep wrangler. In addition, the villa roof leaks and we had wet furniture several times during our stay. We will absolutely return to St John because it is amazing. Sadly, we won’t use this company to rent from again because as a property owner who does vacation rentals I completely understand things happen. However, nothing was done to make those things right in the end. "

"Our stay was perfect for a family of 9! Our host always got back to us with questions and Matt was very responsive when it came to questions or help with anything. The location was perfect and we would definitely come back again!"

"Karen and owner were very friendly and hospitable."

"We had a wonderful week! The property was exactly as described. Rooms were clean and the view is absolutely stunning. Loved the outdoor showers! Pool was great, plenty of seating, kitchen stocked. Beach towels and cooler so handy. Easy parking. Totally private & peaceful. The power (on the whole island) went out 5 times that week and there is no generator at this property. Didn't bother us too much but should be noted. As to other reviews, there was some peeling paint/minor repairs that could be done but they didn't affect us at all. There was both a regular coffee maker & a Keurig. I would recommend this rental to anyone with 2 couples or a family with teens. Again: gorgeous view!"

"Loved it. Host was extremely responsive and offered terrific suggestions for things to do. House was cozy and the breeze that comes through is phenomenal. Loved that there were beach chairs, towels, and snorkel gear available. The washer and dryer came in handy. Loved the view. Would stay again. "

"Wr had an amazing stay at the Blue Dolphin. The property was perfect for us. The patio area is amazing and provided a great spot to spend time outside. The property’s proximity to Cruz Bay was ideal. The owners and property manager were also great to deal with. "
