We were greeted with a taxi, who whisked us to Red Hook to catch the boat to St John. We were met on St John by a lovely greeter, Denise who gave us keys to a Jeep we reserved. We followed her to Hawksbill villa, a couple of miles from town. Denise explained all features of the magnificent hilltop villa, gave us tourist information, showed us highlights on a map, and made us feel welcome. The return trip was equally expertly arranged. Caribbean Villas is a top notch villa operator and I would not hesitate to book with them on St John again.

Not only did they direct me to the right property but our reservation was the beginning of the Chinese Virus shut down for the Islands. No worries though, everyone at Caribbean Villas couldn't have been more accomodating to work with me rearranging our schedule around this crazy epidemic. We finally made our trip the first week of the opening of the USVI in September. The Property, Cinnamon was better than presented on their site. We had a couple of minor issues during the week and the local representatives where more than responsive in addressing our issues. I can't say enough good things about these folks at Caribbean Villas except we will be back! Thanks for a great job done and helping my family have a gathering of a life time.

This wasn't our first time renting a villa on St John and we're had mixed experiences with real…read moreestate managers there in the past. We were a little unsure of what to expect when we went through McLaughlin for our villa on this past trip. But now cannot say enough great things about them. Great communication prior to the trip, totally professional, well organized paperwork, polite, everything we wanted in a rental broker. There were some minor problems with the villa when we arrived (the hot tub didn't work) and they told us in advance, apologized, and had someone out to fix it the next day. The last few times we went through another broker (Windspree) and whenever there was an issue with a villa (occasionally more serious like no hot water or broken air conditioning) it was like pulling teeth to get someone on the phone...and then getting something fixed just didn't happen without more than a little aggravation and wasted vacation time. McLaughlin was the complete opposite. We will 100% definitely use them again on our next trip to St John.

Perfect size and depth for families. The villa itself was recently updated so everything is new. The fitness room is a huge bonus. I was able to workout without driving to St John Fitness...saving time and money. Central AC through which helps on the hot days. Outside grilling and lounging areas were great. We were a family of four but there is a 3rd downstairs bedroom for grandparents or a teenager who wants some privacy. We will definitely consider this home again and I highly recommend for families with children.

Our own private lomo (included in the rate) met us at St Thomas airport and took us to Red Hook where we took the ferry to St John. There Albion met us, took us on a quick tour of the island, stopped at Starfish Market to pick up staples, and then on to Bluebitch Villa. "Bluebitch" is impeccably clean, spacious and has everything you'll need for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.  A fully equipped kitchen (even a bbq), wonderful views, and a private beach that became our go-to place for a morning cup of coffee, afternoon swim or great place to read a book and watch the sun set.  We wanted to experience the culture and special spots of St. John and the information and suggestions provided were very helpful and gave us lots of ideas for our adventures around the island.   Thank you for helping create some amazing memories and a refreshing week in St. John Albion and Ann were gracious and welcoming and they made us feel like family. We'll definitely be making this our yearly vacation spot.

We had a large bedroom, small laundry facility, living room, kitchen, and two balcony's (one overlooking the water). Everything was extremely clean, and I felt very safe during this time - which is hard to find! The staff was extremely accommodating; switched out our cooker bag that was rusted, brought us new beach towels, gave us extra laundry pods, etc. The cherry on top? The location was PERFECT! We were so close to all of the restaurants, bars, and shops... we only used the taxi service to get to the beaches! I will for sure be staying here in the future!!

By the end of summer Hurricane Maria had hammered the island and the ocean had a new home in the Blue Turtle pool. Thankfully this April the beautiful beachfront property (and the pool) were back looking beautiful! If you're heading to St. Croix I totally recommend this place (just not the same time as me, ). I seriously cannot wait for the opportunity to come back to Blue Turtle-fully furnished and all the gear a family needs to have a great time in the ocean.

Too many times have we looked for a place to stay on St John on the "less busy" (although none of the island is really "busy") side of the island and thought, "oh myyyy, what if it's in one of those less desirable areas." Well - - think that no more and book this place. We wanted to be on our favorite side of the island and this fit the bill. It is absolutely perfect for two who like a little peace and quite. Yet, it's extremely convenient to all the wonderful things in Coral Bay. Just minutes down the mountain to Love's grocer, a few mins from Salt Pond Bay for the best snorkeling you will find on island, and not far from Calabash either. Catch n Keep is supremely decorated - in fact, we realized how much we have in common with the owner by looking at all the sweet touches on the place. It's very well maintained - in PERFECT condition, and the view is breathtaking. While it's not an ocean view, you feel like you're in a tropical rain forest and that is just fabulous. We enjoyed gorgeous sunsets on the porch with wine and cheese and had early, early morning coffee with the hummingbirds to watch the sun come up out there too. The porch is a treat! Miss Judy keeps it well maintained with comfy furniture and it's super clean --- it felt just like home! And speaking of Miss Judy - She's awesome to deal with. Very responsive (in the middle of the evening when we needed to find our way in the dark, she met us at Love's to direct us to her place!), she is just below you in case you need her, but you would never know she's there. She is also very knowledgeable about the island and has tons of treats in store for you, if it's your first time. We are already planning our next St John trip in April and will stay at Catch n Keep!

GREAT ACCOMMODATIONS…read more Renting a condo in St. Croix was the best idea since it's like living in a home while you're on vacation. The Sugar Beach Condos are located just 5 minutes north of Christiansted, but about 25 minutes from the airport. Luckily a driver from the Olympic Rental picked us up at the airport. The check in at the condos was quick, and we were in our unit within minutes. It was a comfortable one bedroom with kitchen, laundry facilities, and a nice veranda overlooking Buck Island, Gallows Bay and Christiansted. The location is great, even though there were tenement apartments about half a mile away. But the condo was positioned so that you always get the trade winds. In our 9 days we used the AC only one day, did two loads of laundry, and two loads in the dishwasher. The king size bed was comfortable, and the sleeper sofa was convenient for guests. There was a pool and club house, but we never used it. The beach is just outside the veranda, and some units have direct access to the water. Parking is convenient and the grounds were well kept. My only qualm is living with furniture that's dated and a very small and dark bathroom. I would definitely return and perhaps try another unit, maybe a studio at half the cost for the 1 bedroom.

Excellent accommodations -- me and my family stayed at the Sugar Beach Condos for a six night stay…read more Leslie and her husband made the trip enjoyable and comfortable. Our condo held 6 people, two in the master bedroom, and four in the extra room (with a pullout bed). Both rooms were welcoming and nicely decorated. We had two bathrooms in out our condo, the master bathroom had two sinks, a large jacuzzi, shower and a toilet. The other bathroom had everything but the tub. We had enough TP for a few days, and then needed to go out and buy more. We also ran out of soap and lotion, so we ended up buying a bottle at the store. No cleaning service came, so we had to fend for ourselves, which meant we also had to wash and dry the towels they gave us. The kitchen was spacious, a large full sized island, coffeemaker, dishwasher, and refrigerator, just excellent! The owners provided us with all the needed utensils (forks, knives, spoons, plates, etc). We ate at home for most of our meals. Each room is secured with a numeric padlock and a screen. Our back patio had an excellent view of the beach. The beach and pool accommodations were outstanding! White sand beaches, hammocks, lounge chairs, and kayaks (if they came in your rental). A historic sugar mill leans over the beautiful pool, the pool was very large, but had no hot tub. Tennis courts were available on the outskirts of the property, but as of March 2019 were not in service and very rundown. The security staff, although small, was nice and friendly. A great place to stay for a family of 2-6, wonderful! Thanks Leslie!
