And our 20 years in business proves it!
Thank you to the owners for sharing your wonderful home with us, it was perfect for our relaxing and quiet honeymoon that we were looking for. We enjoyed snorkeling at many of the north shore beaches. We hope to return to St. John for one of our anniversaries and will remember all the hospitality that we got at Chateau Margot!
Wow! Chateau Margot is just amazing! The view is incredible. Our 3 families had everything we needed to have an unforgettable vacation! St. John is the most beautiful place we’ve ever been. The beaches are all wonderful, but Cinnamon Bay & Trunk Bay were our favorites. Thank you for thinking of everything for a fantastic vacation! We loved the view, the kitchen, and the provisions upon arrival, AH! Our week couldn’t have been more brilliant and our 3 families will remember Chateau Margot forever. Our families could not have asked for a better place. Everything we needed was already in place. We felt at home instantly. Thank you for a wonderful place and for memories for our families that will last a life time.
We had such a wonderful week in Chateau Margot! We love St. John & will certainly return, your home is lovely! Everything was so beautifully selected. The art is magnificent! The view is spectacular! The gardens are beautiful and the pool was amazing! We had a fantastic week and will return for sure. Thank you so much for sharing your home, we have made some wonderful family memories.
“We have just finished a week at Chateau Margo. It really is as beautiful as the photos indicate. Our family ages ranged from 9 to 89, and everyone has indicated they had a great time and would love to be at such a place again. The couple of minor issues which arise with 12 people in the course of a week were resolved for us promptly and courteously. We prepared most of our breakfasts and dinners at the villa and found all of the kitchen tools to be well organized and in good order.”
“Chateau Margot was everything we were expecting. The kitchen was expertly furnished. Eating areas were spacious and various. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The pool was nice, but cold. The heat pump broke the first day we were there and the managers did all they could do to get it fixed, but the part was delayed in coming. The breezes were so nice, we rarely had to use air conditioning. Great place to stay!”
“Another wonderful visit to Chateau Margot. The accommodations remain exquisite and the view is priceless. Our family enjoyed ourselves immensely. St. John is one of our favorite islands ever. Thank you for sharing your villa with us!”
“Priceless. Words cannot adequately express the joy of being with family at Chateau Margot. Thank you for opening this amazing villa and sharing this wonderful island with us.”
“Great week. Three generations and everyone enjoyed this place. The ice cream in Cruz Bay was delicious (at Scoops). Our favorite beach is Francis Bay. The swimming pool made the trip. The kitchen was awesome-very well stocked with everything needed for our gourmet needs every night. My son-in-law loved the variety of orchids throughout the property. The roads were quite exciting! We have thousands of go pro photos to document our week. Thanks!”
“What a wonderful stay! We are so thankful for being provided such a wonderful villa for our vacation and to Kathy and Leah for providing such great assistance in finding in finding the right place; many thanks! For those looking for good recommendations – definitely go to Shipwreck Landing and try absolutely anything from the list of nightly specials. The fish tacos at Cruz Bay Landing were the best, and the Pulled Pork Nachos at the Tap Room. Thoroughly enjoyed sailing and snorkeling with Captain Jimmy (Kiotesails.com) and Captain Truman (Flyaway Charters) We’ll be back!”
“Thanks for the wonderful vacay”
“Thank you for providing this amazing home for our much needed vacation. The views were good for the soul. Well 13 souls!!! It was my first visit to this island and it won’t be my last. We loved the serenity and the wild life.”
“What a beautiful home with amazing views. We loved the pool and everything in the kitchen. We are two brothers and wives. We all work a lot so it was wonderful to just relax. We’d swim and snorkel a few hours and come back and relax in the pool. We saw lots of fish and turtles when we snorkeled but were also surprised at two bats that live here and fly around at night. But they didn’t bother us much. We also loved all the movies and would relax with those every night. I’d suggest plastic silverware and a beach umbrella for guests to use and a big chip platter. But other than that we loved everything and feel refreshed to go back to the real world. Thank you for everything. God bless the owners and Kathy and everyone.”
“We had an absolutely amazing time! The house and the view are incredible and had everything we needed. It made our anniversary trip very special. We look forward to another visit.”
Chateau Margot is luxurious! What a place to return to after a day at the beach.
The view. The villa. What an incredible vacation. Thank you.
Awesome in every respect! What a wonderful villa.
We had a great time and were happy to see the island bouncing back! We stayed here because the original villa we rented was still being repaired from Hurricane Irma. The breezes are fabulous at Rendezview and it is so close to Cruz Bay. Thank you for a great week. We loved this house! P.S. Look for Alex & Will, two mid-sized iguanas. When it’s quiet outside, your likely to see hermit crabs scouting about 🙂
An amazing vacation! Our first trip to St. John but we came with my sister and brother-in-law who’ve been coming here for years, now we know why! What an amazingly beautiful island. We had a great vacation here at Rendezview. A beautiful villa with wonderful views, pool and great amenities! We loved all of our island trips, Skinny Legs, Trunk Bay (amazing) lots of fun downtown bars/restaurants. Great hike to Ram’s Head too!! We are already talking about our next trip! Thanks= you for such an amazing, wonderful vacation-
What a wonderful week with wonderful friends. A great time in a great house with great friends! Great shelling and beach glass finds. A different beach every day! Maho for Turtles, Cinnamon Bay & Jumbie for snorkeling and beaches. Relaxing, laughing and loving. It has been a beautiful vacation!!! We will be back!!
This was our 6th trip in 8 years to the best island in the Caribbean!! We had a great 10 days. This visit we hit the Tap room and they took us on a tour of the brewery. If you love beer this place is a must see! It is great to see the island bounce back from 2 major storms. The house is the best we’ve stayed at by far. It has all the comforts of home so we spent a lot of time at Rendezview! Our boys played hoop with the locals. They were very friendly & made a great experience for our boys!! We will be back next year for sure!!
We are back again to our favorite villa, Rendezview. Our 4th time here and once again, we had a wonderful time. The new grill is great. We loved watching the iguanas and the crabs every day. Thanks to Kathy who does a great job!

Thank you for such a wonderful house. We have been talking about this family trip for years and your house was the perfect place for our group. Must Do: Rhumb Lines in Coral Bay, Boat day trip to Peru ending at the Soggy Dollar! Francis Bay, Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay & Maho Bay beaches and watching turtles at Francis Bay. We appreciate the views, the pool, the a/c the shared family space and the well equipped kitchen at Mystic Ridge. Also the fact that we didn’t need to turn the TV on once! We hope to be back soon!
We came to Mystic Ridge to celebrate 20 years of marriage which started right here on St. John at Mystic Ridge. Snorkeling, eating at Longboard, Ocean362, Extra Virgin, Rhumb Lines, so many great places and oh the Lime Out!!! We Love Mystic Ridge it will always have a special place in our hearts! Thank you for some amazing memories!
This home is truly beautiful, the decor and the scenery. We enjoyed sailing, snorkeling, feeding the lizards & birds, donkey visits, sailing and just good family time, hanging out with loves ones. Maho is narrow and gets very crowded. Try Cinnamon or Salt Pond for less crowds. Hawksnest is great too! This was our 3rd visit the Virgin Islands and not the last. You have created a very special place and we hope to visit again! Kathy is also great!
Loved the view! Loved the house! The outdoor living spaces; pool in the sun all day; views of Coral Bay and the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Our favorite activities were snorkeling, reading, chilling out look at stars @ night, hanging out with family, sailing, looking for sea glass, eating out at Skinny’s, Rhumb Lines, Aqua Bistro, The Terrace, the Pizza Bar, Longboard, Lime Inn and the Lime Out! Take a sail trip with Virgin Magic to the Lime Out at Hansen Bay! and to Cinnamon Bay (nobody is there) 🙂 This was our 23rd trip to St. John, we love this island!!
We appreciated the open air of Mystic Ridge, the hot tub and the well stocked kitchen. Enjoyed our hike to Ram’s head, beach hoping, star gazing from the hot tub and jet skiing. Watching our teenage daughters delight in driving a jet ski and swimming with turtles at Maho. Dinner at Miss Lucy’s on the beach and the 80 curves between Mystic Ridge and Cruz Bay! Thanks for creating such a peaceful and beautiful getaway!
We enjoyed the beaches, all the beaches, our time spent on the beautiful deck, and the sights of St. John ! Breakfast at the Landing, Shopping at Mongoose, Skinny Legs in Coral Bay and BVI boat trips. We loved the views, hot tub and laundry machine. Our lasting memories are the time we spent with family & loved ones. If you need a driver call Bobby 340-513-3483. Thanks for the wonderful spaces to rest our heads.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the beautiful Mystic Ridge, especially the views and the quality of the furnishings & decor. We came to Mystic Ridge to relax and escape the cold weather back home. We enjoyed Ocean 362 for dinner at sunset and Aqua Bistro for dinner & music. We hiked Rams Head, Jumbie and Solomon beaches. Our lasting memories will be the beautiful views, and just lounging by the pool at Mystic Ridge! We look forward to coming back!

villa and look forward to coming back! We came to relax and escape the cold weather back home. We enjoyed hiking Rams Head, Jumbie and Solomon beaches. The beautiful views and just lounging by the pool at Mystic Ridge!
We came to Mystic Ridge to enjoy our favorite island. The kitchen was fully out-fitted with anything you need to cook. The beds were also extremely comfortable! Captain Ryan from On the Sea Charters was outstanding, he took us to all of our favorite spots. Going out on the boat, swimming with turtles, jumping off the Willy T, the breathtaking views, the hot tub, and spending time with family are what we enjoyed most.
Thank you so much for sharing this precious piece of paradise. We came here to get away from everyday work & life. We enjoyed snorkeling with the turtles, the views the stars and the beaches! We will definitely return.
Thank you for the beautiful accommodations, we felt like we were home the whole time. Gorgeous views and comfortable beds. Our favorites days were snorkeling at Hansen Bay, Hawksnest & Maho. Seeing the turtles, donkeys, lizards, chickens, etc. The amazing views from this beautiful home and the fun drive to get here! Wonderful experience XOXO
Thank you for sharing your perfect venue. Everything is fabulous, the layout the appointments, the furnishings, the view and the location!! We enjoyed the Gibney, Maho, Francis beaches and snorkeling Waterlemon, and Little Maho, saw huge turtles. The sunrise and the afternoon vies were amazing. Enjoy this beautiful island and it’s people. The house is so convenient to everything we love here. This is a small piece of heaven on earth.
We enjoyed Mystic Ridge so much last year we booked to come back almost right away. So glad the property made it through the storms! As always we appreciate the well stocked home, wonderful bedding and pillows. The laundry room and the kitchen had everything we needed! Kathy really took care of everything. The few things that didn’t work were fixed within 24 hours. Hike has many trails as you can. the views are always worth it! Do Rams Head early and enjoy the swim after! We snorkeled & hiked everyday, enjoyed all of our favorite beaches. Loved swimming with the turtles and rays at Maho, finding beautiful shells and swimming Mary’s Point and Francis. We LOVE Cinnamon Bay, so beautiful! It was awesome to see a huge school of squid at Jumbie. Glad to see the reefs have rebounded! We had such an amazing stay, can’t wait to come back!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful home. This is a Dream House! The views the pool and everything we needed was provided. A great floor plan for family but still lots of privacy. (Miss Kathy was great too!) We enjoyed hiking, the beaches, seeing the donkeys & wildlife. Take at least one day to volunteer somewhere on St. John. We walk dogs!! Our lasting memories are every day laughs, cooking & eating together, sunsets on the beach, seeing turtles and watching the starts at night. It was hard to leave, and we’ll be back.
MAGICAL!
This house is incredible!
I stayed with my boyfriend and two other friends, what a experience!!! Can’t wait to go back into that piece of heaven!
Beautifully structured and designed with comfort coziness feeling.
I am amazed with the entire house especially for the LOVE it was added into the details it offers, such as into the careful organization of the polished silverware to the functionality of everything else that makes a house feels like home. Including but not limited in every kitchen aspect for ‘Chefs-for-fun (or for real) experiences. The living room is very open and ventilated with it’s fun exquisite books and curious tips in it, besides the comfy couch, blanket, sound and tv system; pool towels well placed around the house so you don’t have to soak the entire floor when walking in or just cause it got unexpected chilly with the breeze… the bedrooms were super comfy with the best bed I’ve slept in few months (I stayed into the master suite with my boyfriend, and I can say he loved the bed as well :), the shower (one of my favorites), nice and with open windows so you can hear the nature symphony and appreciate it; I checked the other bedrooms, they were all with the same comfy bed style. The bath towels were crispy and clean with extra ones in the closets, extra everything actually! The pool was super clean so was the jacuzzi (definitely recommend after a day exploring the Island), and the view, oh my!!! The view is GORGEOUS!! Day or night!
Another favorite spot was a little piece out for the back garden where you can lay at night to see how beautiful the sky is without all those city lights… It was magical!
St. John has more than I imagined to be explored and I cannot wait to go back, will definitely stay at Mystic Ridge Villa again!!!
“This was truly a dream house”
“What a wonderful place to vacation — easy to get to and parking is much easier than I have previously experienced on St. John. Views are breathtaking and vary from day to day and from day to night.”
“This past May we took our first trip to St. John and lets just say “we fell in love.” Many factors fueled our newly found St. John passion — but one of the main reasons was Mystic Ridge. We could not have asked for a more elegant and convenient home away from home.”
“The views from every room of the house are nothing short of spectacular. The view over Coral Bay is worth it all. The morning sun greets you with a reminder of the near perfect sunrise each and every day…What I like most about this part of the island is how remote you are from everything, but not too far… only 10-15 mins from the beautiful North Shore beaches for the afternoon sun…”
“Mystic Ridge is as close to Heaven as one can get! From the minute one pulls into the very easily accessible driveway at this home, the views will take your breath away. Everything we needed was at Mystic Ridge from comfortable beds, spacious rooms, well-appointed kitchen to the welcoming pool and hot tub. Breezes were plentiful day and night at this wonderful home. It is almost in the middle of the island, which makes it very convenient to Cruz Bay and Coral Bay, the northshore and southshore beaches, restaurants and shopping. The kitchen is truly a gourmet kitchen with amazing views — it makes cooking a pleasure! Four couples had ample room to be together and lots of spaces for privacy as well. Go and ENJOY!!”
“Home was beautiful!!”
We loved staying here at Oceanport and will definitely book again in the future. Can’t wait to come back to beautiful St. John!!
My 24th visit to St. John since 1992!! First time at Oceanport – very nice!!
We found this villa had everything we needed, and the view of course was beyond beautiful! For sailing Singing Dog Sailing, they listened to what we wanted to do. Perfect! (info in guest guide) – we loved this! Morgan’s Mango the best for a nice dining experience. The food was high quality and delicious. Our favorite casual eating, Banana Deck, High Tide and Gringos. Views not to miss, Peace Hill and Annaberg Sugar Mill Ruins. Kathy you were so helpful and kind! We shared so many laughs and great family memories here! Thank you for a forever experience.
Wonderful week, fantastic villa….perfect for two families to share lots of memories together but also get space to breath. Best big beach, Cinnamon Bay and best small beach Gibney. Best hike, Ram’s Head, Best snorkeling Henley Cay and Maho. Most expensive restaurant Extra Virgin, most affordable is Uncle Joe’s BBQ. Best Coffee, KISS of the Jumbie from St. John Spice. Best Charter Busy Bee. Start every day with coffee on the deck for sunrise and ent it with rum cocktails in the hot tub/pool for moonrise & Stargazing!! We had a magical time, all made possible and enhanced by having such a great place to call home for a far, far too short time. Thanks to the owners, the villa hosts and housekeeping!!!
Love, Love, Love this house. Would never be sick of this view! Perfect Vacation Rental for Us! Kitchen is one of the best stocked we’ve come across in our years of renting houses. Wake up early to see the sunrise. Get sandwiches from Sam & Jack’s. Get out early to snag the few parking spots at Gibney or Jumbie Beach. So secluded! Best Massages from Laura at Mango Bliss Spa, rent a catamaran from Love City Excursions, for snorkeling Mingos, Booby Rock and Newfound Bay. Eat at LIME OUT, Floating Taco Bar!, amazing tacos. Hopefully we will back in the near future!
We enjoyed St.John Provisions for best coffee & pastry, Margarita Phils is always simple good Mexican! Drink St. John for a great happy hour! Ocean runner for a small 4 person boston wailer perfect to see national park beaches, turtles & jump off for a swim. Thank you to Kathy for all of her work in ensuring this home was perfect! Already planning our next trip back & won’t even think of another home. Oceanport is perfect!
The house is absolutely spectacular. We had everything we needed here and the kitchen is so well equipped. It was so much fun to sit in the hot tub and around the pool in the evenings as we celebrated our friend’s birthday week. We were able to explore so many beaches and meet many locals, all of whom seemed so happy to be living on this beautiful island in paradise. Best coffee & pastries as well as wine and food pairings are at Bajo El Sol in Mongoose Junction. We loved eating at Extra Virgin and La Tapa – need reservations – Amazing food & service!
We loved this house. We have stayed in many others on St. John and this was , by far, the most comfortable, due to the incredible breezes and (no bugs!). High quality supplies: sheets, towels & kitchen gear. Our food favorites: Irie Pop for popsicles, Lime Out for the most novel & fun setting, St John Provisions for coffee & pastries, Extra Virgin and Longboard for delicious dinners. Our favorite spots: Coral Bay a different vibe than Cruz Bay, Waterlemon, Oppenheimer, Haulover, and Maho for beaches and snorkeling. Thank you for sharing your home!
Of all the places throughout the Caribbean, I personally feel that your home is the best equipped. We love the views and the breezes! One of the best kitchens we have ever had – very well stocked & thought out. Extra Virgin for dinner, be sure to make a reservation, Longboard Cafe, go for happy hour and stay for good bar food!! Skinny’s in Coral Bay, fun place. Sonic Charter was wonderful, we snorkeled the Indians and The Caves. White Bay, Soggies for painkillers and Hendo’s for a great lunch and more beverages. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you for sharing!
Your house is beautiful! Best sleep we’ve had, with the night wind and the sounds of the surf. Beds super comfortable. House so big, lots of light and beauty. We enjoyed the pool & hot tub every day and grilled out a couple of evenings. Thanks to Kathy for making everything go smoothly! Our tips for future guests are to watch every sunrise and sunset, explore the beach below, Reef Bay trail is a great hike, Hansen Bay, Atmosphere & people watching at the Quiet Mon, drinks at the Sun Dog Cafe, Sam & Jacks makes the best deli sandwiches, Maho Bay for snorkeling and Miss Lucy’s great location and local cuisine.
Thank you for sharing your villa with us. It is truly a piece of paradise and tranquility. The sunrises are beautiful! We had a fantastic meal at Extra Virgin Bistro. We enjoyed hunting for shells on the beach during the day and shooting stars from the hot tub at night.
What a beautiful home and location! Snorkel the bays and check out the BVI’s too! We used Stormy Pirates Charter and did an overnight in Great Harbor. Had a blast! Snorkeled the caves and visit the Willy T. White Bay for painkillers and Hendo’s for lunch. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We enjoyed every minute of it! 🙂 and hope to be back soon!
We love the upgrades and the pool!! Hot tub, WOW!! The stairs to the beach are a real cardio workout – and worth it in the sun, Great Shells! Lime Inn & Hightide, good food – Uncle Joe’s carry out ribs & chicken and take the trail to Honeymoon Beach.
We so enjoyed returning to the beautiful Oceanport villa. Stunning views, southerly breezes and the sound of the ocean surf combine to make this the most desirable location on St. John. Added to that, the owners have totally redone the property with a gorgeous new pool and spa – we found it hard to drag ourselves away to head for the North shore beaches! Cooking was a pleasure in the remodeled kitchen – every detail seemed to have been considered. Snorkeling in Hart Bay is some of the best on the island. We love the island of St. John and our thoughts and prayers were with her in the last year as she worked to recover from the devastation of the 2017 hurricanes. It was truly a pleasure to be here once again and we look forward to many more visits.
Our 3rd stay at Oceanport over the past 5 years was better than ever. The new pool and spa were a huge hit for our kids. The new and expanded kitchen made for a fantastic work space. Especially when you have 6 people bouncing around the kitchen prepping to head to the beach. Plus with the new kitchen we are seriously considering hiring a cook the next rip down to prepare some of our dinners (Although we really love heading to Cruz Bay to eat and then hang out). Our trip was in mid March 2018 and great progress had been made around the island at getting things back to normal. There was a little less tree cover at some of the beaches, but as frequent travelers to the island we always pack two wind resistant umbrellas in a golf bag carry case for beaching. We love the sun, but like alcohol, you can have too much of a great thing. Although we only hiked rams Head on this trip, we are looking forward to the Reef Bay Trail on our next trip. Overall a fun trip with great hosts, food, sun, snorkeling, beaching and beverages. The Jackson Family
“We just got back from a week at Oceanport. The setting of the house is more dramatic than the pictures show. 140 feet above the sea, you listen to the waves breaking and the view goes on forever.”
“Kathy [was] great and on top of it!” “[the home] was even more beautiful in person”
“We loved [the home]. Would want to stay and Oceanport again and again!”
“My wife and I spent a week at Cinnamon Stones and we couldn’t have been more pleased….”
“This is an exceptional villa in the Catherineberg Estates section of St. John, a lush, tropical setting overlooking the turquoise waters of beautiful Cinnamon Bay. The property and villa is very well maintained, well stocked with all the needed amenities, very comfortable and private.”

Waterklip is special! We loved the outdoor living with the breathtaking views and the sounds of nature. This place had everything our family needed – spacious, comfortable and tip-top clean. We concluded our week with an unforgettable afternoon by the pool and a cook-out with the grill – a wonderful Father’s Day celebration. We hope to return soon! Thank you for your hospitality.
St. John was our former home. We had a wonderful time on this trip just catching up with friends and spending our days at all the different beaches. Waterklip was the perfect choice for us. We really enjoyed our late afternoons at the pool watching all the boats go by. Such a peaceful and quiet area. We cooked in most nights and just relaxed in the cute apartment. Nice to have such a comfortable and clean place to stay. The views from the deck are incredible and the sunsets are spectacular. Kathy was great and is always helpful with anything. Can’t wait till our next trip back to Paradise! 🙂
Thank you so much for such a beautiful place to stay. I don’t think anywhere on St. john could equal the view or the convenience and amenities of this lovely place. This will always be on of our best memories!
Thank you for sharing your home. We were able to see the Southern Cross from the deck and we will never forget it! Snacks, Dessert, Cocktails & Breakfast were all enjoyed during our wonderful time at Waterklip!!
Waterklip exceeded our expectations – the view, pool, and location, the house – everything we were looking for and more! Without question, this is where we will stay every time we come back and I can’t wait. Special thanks to Kathy for all her help with everything while we were here and for making it so easy to book. I love it here and am counting the days till I make it back! Thank you so much! Five Stars – no doubt!!
We absolutely loved our stay here at Waterklip! The views from the deck were absolutely perfect. We enjoyed being a short walk from Cruz Bay and being able to try all the different restaurants and bars. We certainly hope to be back in the near future!
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.
We loved staying here at Oceanport and will definitely book again in the future. Can’t wait to come back to beautiful St. John!!

“…When we arrived at the private, gated villa it immediately exceeded our expectations. The private pool on the deck with massive views was breathtaking! …We were on our honeymoon and couldn’t have asked for anything more. “
“Waterklip was such a beautiful place to stay. It is a haven of tranquility just set on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean sea. From the moment we arrived we felt at home. The accomodation was comfortable and spacious, sunsets were fabulous, the location was perfect … I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.”
“Spent a beautiful week in March at Waterklip. Enjoyed the comfort and spaciousness of the condo–wonderfully outfitted with everything I needed including my own swimming pool.. Weather was beautiful and sunny and it was nice to be only 5 minutes from the cute village of Cruz Bay….”
“We had an amazing week on St. John! The weather was great, the people were great and the villa met all of our needs! We got engaged here 5 years ago & will come back to this tiny, great island, for the rest of our lives!”
“We have stayed at this property 7 times since 2001. The place and surroundings are always as good as the last time.”
“We were blown away by the beautiful views from the balcony of Waterklip. Lovely pool and balcony to view the sunset over Great Cruz Bay & St. Thomas or watch local birds and iguanas in the morning. Short trip into town. Close to Starfish Market and Mongoose Junction. Very private. Never saw the neighbors and the owner’s lodging is unoccupied when rental is available. The villa is well appointed with everything you could need to cook a meal in house or make your own rum punches. The owner’s left brochures and guidebooks for our reference. We had such a wonderful time at Waterklip! Would recommend to anyone!”
