My girlfriend and I stayed at Villa Marina Vista for three nights on short notice, and enjoyed our stay. There were several pros: Xaverie the concierge was very helpful, made sure we had good directions to the property, gave us an early check-in, and was generally available to us. The location of the property couldn't be beat - with a nice view and within walking distance of Red Hook (good restaurants, bars, and ferry to St. John). The amenities in the property were extensive: three large flat screen tvs, direct tv, Alexa, xbox, bbq, washer/dryer, iron, vacuum, and a book they put together rivaling any travel guide. On the downside, the pool was full of leaves when we arrived on Thursday. That had been cleaned up by Friday evening. But the pool needs a refurb. The ladder was badly broken, and paint chipped off bottom of the pool in several places. The apartment shows signs of wear: one closet missing hinge, comes off track upon opening, paint chipped; one safe was out (no batteries); and blinds are in bad shape. We also had trouble with spotty internet service. Couldn't stream online or use the Alexa without frequent interruptions, and my laptop (vpn'ing into work) kept locking up requiring reboots. Altogether, I think this is a good value for two couples or a family. I would stay here again with four or more people to defray the cost.
