We had such an amazing time. The views are incredible!! The breezes keep the home nice and cool that we didn’t even need the air conditioning. Our children loved the pool and we all enjoyed the beautiful north shore beaches. The home has a well appointed kitchen. We love St. John and look forward to returning!! 🙂
We had the most wonderful time! The magnificent views will be ingrained in our memories as we return to snowy Boston! Thank you and Cheers!~
We are pleased to be back to our beloved St. John and our second time to beautiful Great Escape. The island has changed but the home and the view remains inspiring. We will return.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful villa with us. This is our second time staying at Great Escape and we really love the upgrades, expansion to the pool area since our last visit here. Our family was quite comfortable and content with all wishes met. The views from this villa are mesmerizing and cannot be beat! Thank you Kathy & Island Getaways for all your transportation assistance and recommendations. Looking forward to anotehr visit to Great Escape in the near future.
Thank you for sharing your stunning home with us! We had an amazing week here. We hope we can come again. Many thanks. We can’t imagine there is a better location or view!
Thank you for a wonderful stay in your beautiful home. We have been coming to St. John for more than 25 years, and this is the 9th villa we have rented. It is comfortable, has a superb view and is well decorated. We love the gazebos, lights in the pool and the hot tub. We will return next year. Thanks for sharing this slice of God’s paradise.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful villa with us. This place is amazing! Perfect Views! This has to be the best view on the island. The kitchen was well stocked & the whole house is comfortable! A truly memorable visit. We truly enjoyed your little piece of heaven & can’t wait to return next year!
We were recommended to Great Escape by a friend from home. It had everything I was looking for. 4 equally nice bedrooms with their own baths and air conditioning, a lovely well stocked kitchen, a cozy & roomy gathering space, a fantastic pool and most of all a great view. We hit the jack pot with Great Escape! The beach chairs were handy for days spent at the gorgeous beaches. Our favorite meal was cooked on the grill when island power went down. In other words, it was a fantastic week spent at your Paradise Home! Thanks for sharing.
The “Great Escape” was just that! We enjoyed everything, especially the air conditioned bedrooms!The view is phenomenal! The snacks you provided upon arrival were greatly appreciated. We hope to return next year.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. The views are beautiful!! This is our 3rd trip to St. John and even though Irma as made some changes to the island it is still our happy place. Our friends enjoyed our week and we hate to leave paradise but we will be back next year!!
Thank you for sharing your Paradise Home. It is truly that. The views are remarkable, hearing the waves below every night & morning, so special. Thank you for the consideration and thoughts into furnishing your home – linens, kitchen is incredibly stocked, coolers, beach chairs & umbrella. The every day necessities are so very much appreciated. The decor is lovely & comfy. Thank you again!!! Kathy was absolutely incredible as always. She’s the reason we chose Great Escape. Kathy makes everything happen w/ ease & stress free. Best wishes to all for continued recovery after the devastation. The spirit of the people, like the beauty of this island is remarkable.
This was our second stay at Great Escape, and it will not be our last! We enjoyed the pool & hot tub every morning & evening – and the view!! It has to be a top 10 view in the world ~~ literally takes our breath away. The storms may have changed the landscape, but the sand and the water are second to none! A special thanks to Kathy who helped with every aspect of renting Great Escape and with answering all our questions throughout the week. We will definitely be back!!
