This property was dirty throughout the house. The shower was disgusting ( around the drain had mole) and the draws has rat poop. The stove worked until it ran out of propane. I was able to cook only breakfast. The other side of the property had a ladder heading to the roof clearly under construction. The passcode worked once had to leave the door unlocked when we went out. The owner of the property Steve shore was unresponsive to our complaints . I will not recommend this property and if you read the other reviews you’ll see similar complaints. At 340 a night you would expect better. Thumbs down all the way.

The place is clean . They give plenty of towels . You can NOT cook here . Refrigerator works fine . WiFi works most of the time . The bugs and mosquitoes are in abundance . Most of the screens are torn . When it comes to rain the roof has holes due to this 3 of the beds were wet from a short amount of rain . The host did not care . We had to check in late 1 day because of weather and host did NOT refund or give VRBO credit . We did also ask for a credit and or a refund . You can not see the ocean so it’s not good for views . Definitely NOT worth over a thousand for 4 days . The host is honest in the description it’s a place to sleep .

Thank you for your somewhat honest review. You did arrive late and asked to leave early all due to no fault of mine. Unfortunately I am not able to post pictures here. I would happily post screenshots where you text and asked to leave early due to flight problems also, I’m not sure why. You were unable to cook the kitchen has a very new stove and range brand new convection, microwave, a air fryer, one pot, slow cooker, and a hot plate.. with regards to your comment on rain you sent me a video of a few drops of water dripping on the kitchen table thank you. I now realize that portion of the home roof needs a second coat. Thanks again for choosing us if you’re able to provide me with a similar property 4bd 2ba that sleeps eight comfortably for less than 200 per night in a environment where you can’t rent a studio for 200 a night I would be happy to see it.

Don’t Recommend
We were disappointed with this rental unit. Upon our evening arrival, we saw that floors, bathrooms, and countertops were clean and tidy. However, in the light of the following morning, we discovered the presence of mildew on ceilings, seat cushions, and pillows. Another issue was the lack of hot, or even lukewarm, water. Sadly, the availability of hot water was not disclosed in the VRBO description, but was disclosed on another website. As suggested by the host, we tried flipping the circuit breaker to no avail as the breaker was broken. Had we known about the water issue, we would’ve never considered this rental. It’s not our first time in the tropics, as we have stayed on Water Island multiple times in different rentals and have never encountered a rental such as this. Because of the mildew issue alone, we cannot recommend staying here.

Two family members back to back leaving bad reviews due to my refusal to give you a refund so that you could stay on the same property together. It’s unfortunate. This is the world we live in your desire to bring harm to me due to your Just satisfaction of not getting your way. Let’s review your complaints you claim the house was very clean when you first arrived but the next day it was dirty after you found out your family was staying somewhere else and you wanted to join them interesting. Venue claim the house has mildew in a small area , also interesting you’re in the Caribbean for one. The house is open air does not have air-conditioning or dehumidifiers running. It is, however, located in probably the hottest driest part of the US Virgin Islands, where it’s nearly impossible to have mold, due to the southern exposure and constant airflow. Again, interesting Thirdly lastly, you say the house had “cold water “not even lukewarm another impossibility due to the fact that our water is stored in tanks under our houses called cisterns and our outside air temperature is approximately 80° year-round meaning that our room temperature water is also 80° at a minimum we do not receive our water from a well nor do we receive our water from a city water system. All of our water is room temperature captured rain water and yes I did ask you to turn the water heater on and it’s still on today increasing the water temperature all the way up to the mid 90s , lol thanks for choosing me the largest and least expansive rental on the entire island.

DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE
We were very disappointed with this VBRO. We moved out after staying there one night. No hot water. The house was dirty. The floors were not swept. The counters and dining room tables were dirty and there was mildew on ceilings. Top sheets were wadded up in a drawer so we didn’t feel comfortable that beds were clean. Some of the amenities were not supplied as stated. The host has changed the listing since we stayed there. I have stayed at water Island 2 previous times and have Never experienced these problems at other bookings. VBRO was contacted but not getting any results.

Thank you for choosing us. And confirming in text that you were happily getting settled. The isssues you mentioned were not factual, and you choose to leave after finding a different place, informing your family member to do the same the following week. As per VRBO guidelines and cancellation policies you are entitled to zero refund. Your choice should not and will not cost me. The listing has not been changed in several months. If that was the case VRBO probably would have felt differently and potentially supported you don’t you think?

Water Island is a secluded paradise in a tough kinda way. Wi-Fi is almost non- existent. ( We watched 1 movie 1 night & couldn’t get it to work after that). No big deal, that’s not why we came here. This is an excellent place for almost any size family. PS- make sure to rent a golf cart!
