We enjoyed every moment of our stay at Jackie’s property from the planning , the journey to the island, and our mornings and evening spent at the house. We chose this property because it’s on the West side of the island and we wanted to be close to the north shore beaches & wide selection of restaurants nearby in the evenings. We also chose it because of the amazing and relaxing views (seen from the patio, kitchen, living room, AND bedroom!) of Rendezvous Bay. Jackie sent us helpful emails as we planned our trip and quickly responded when I had questions like, “Does the house have beach chairs and towels?” (Yes, the house has everything you could possibly need for a week on an island including bug spray, chairs, towels, coolers, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, spices, and vacuum to clean out our rental car at the end of the week!). She met us when we got off the ferry so we could follow her to the house. This was helpful since the roads and addresses in St. John are a bit confusing and not always clearly marked. Some driveways in St. John can be tricky to access and far from the houses but this driveway is short and very close to the property’s door so packing up our beach bags daily was a breeze.
When we approached the house and saw the view of the aqua water, I almost had tears in my eyes it was so beautiful. The house is just as nice (if not nicer) than the pictures make it look. It is clean and comfortable. There is an amazing breeze when you open the patio doors and sitting on the patio is an attraction in and of itself. We enjoyed watching the boats and yachts in the bay. There are grocery stores within 10 minutes or less of the house so we stocked up on breakfast and lunch foods. Jackie had some treats and a gallon of water waiting for us in the fridge when we arrived which was great after traveling. The house has two large bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The bed was comfortable and the room has AC which made sleeping comfortable. The shower also has an amazing view of the bay. The house is nestled in the hills of St. John. Although there are other neighbors nearby it is a private setting with enough room to spread out for a family or two couples. We talked several times about returning to the island and Jackie’s house with friends or family in the future. Here are some of the attractions we were able to see during our visit. Thank you, Jackie for sharing a wonderfully relaxing and beautiful home with us for our honeymoon!
