"Unfortunately, the pool was under construction during our stay and unusable, but we didn't allow that to stop us. The beach was quite and relaxing, thus Westin has a family vibe and good for children. The staff was friendly. I do think they can do better at advertising the water and children's activities. The rooms were excellent and resturants too. Ferry service and crew were great too. Great stay for a family of 5!"

Top Waterlemon Cay Hotel Reviews

Relaxing, Romantic, Private Couples Getaway, just for two W/ Stunning View

10/10 Excellent

"Nice property, good communication"

Palm Ridge Incredible views, privacy, pool, AC. Property borders National Park.

10/10 Excellent

"Pictures don't do it justice. Absolutely amazing. We will definitely stay again if we return to the island."

Sugarview Villa MainHouse: Coral Bay w/Pool, Ocean Views

10/10 Excellent

"We would love to stay again!"

Bay Rum Breeze Great Views Private pool, power backup, lovely decor. 4 br/3.5 ba

10/10 Excellent

"This is a wonderful place. The villa is just as the pictures. My wife and our 2 adult children had a great time. The kitchen had everything that we needed for our stay. We only ate out once for lunch. Tap and Still had wonderful hamburgers, by the way. All other meals were prepared at the villa. My wife swam every morning. The pool is very nice and has a fountain splashing into the pool for a nice water sound. The view is a million-dollar view over the pool. At the front door you can see the north side water.The villa is close to Coral Bay and about an 8-minute drive to Love City Grocery which has a decent selection. Also, the cigarette prices are about 2 cheaper per pack than in Cruz Bay.Maho Bay is the closest beach at less than 10 minutes. The location of the villa makes it easy to visit all the north beaches.Will stay at Bay Rum Breeze when visiting St John again."

Bambooshay is a 2BR, 2BA private villa with AC, pool, hot tub & auto generator!

10/10 Excellent

"Bambooshay is beautiful property on the quiet side of the island with plenty of gorgeous less-crowded beaches nearby."

Brand New- Romantic, Fully Loaded Relaxing 2 Bedroom for 1 or 2 Couples

10/10 Excellent

"This house is perfect for couples or small families. Rooms are spacious and offer AC. The house overall is beautiful! We did lose power for the first 3 days for about an hour or hour and half which was unfortunate since the house doesn’t have a generator or solar panels. However, we absolutely loved staying at the Sea Palace and would visit again!"

Heaven's Gate - Off Grid Ocean View Villa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The home is beautiful, the views are incredible (even better than photos), very spacious, the pool was fantastic and we sat on the outside covered porch for breakfasts and in the evenings to enjoy the view and breeze.The kitchen was fairly well equipped and the hosts left us some beverages in the refrigerator to start our stay, which was a nice touch.The benefit is that the area is very quiet. The downside is that it is the 30 minute drive to get to dock and restaurants in Cruz Bay and about 15-20 mins from most beaches. You’ll want an SUV as the roads and driveway to the house are very steep and windy. It’s only about 5 minutes to Coral Bay, so make sure to have a lunch at Lime Out while you’re on that side of the island. The house also has outdoor showers, which can be a very unique feature. The water pressure was really low, so the benefit was muted by that. Overall, we still highly recommend."

Pool Villa w/ Huge Ocean Views Just10 mins from Maho Bay Beach - AC Throughout!

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property for our multi-generational vacation. The views were spectacular. We loved sitting outside in the evening watching the sun, go down. All of the rooms had comfortable beds and were super clean. For those who love A/C, never fear. The A/C worked perfectly in all of the indoor locations. Our kids got a kick out of the very unique shower located off the living room area. They felt like they were showering in a forest. The kitchen has every amenity you can imagine from crockpot to lemon squeezer. There is a house being built next-door, but we didn’t hear any noise the whole time we were there. I would highly recommend this property."

Francis Bay Estate: Luxury Villa! Pool! Walk To The Beach!

8/10 Good

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I loved everything about the home except that there was no air conditioning in the kitchen and main great room. When reading the description before renting I saw that it had air conditioning, but didn’t realize that was true for only the bedrooms. Since our stay was in late July and the temperature outside was very hot and humid, air conditioning became of more importance— especially in the area where you cook and congregate as a family. The beautiful air conditioned bedrooms allowed us to get a good nights sleep. During the day, we spent the majority of our time snorkeling at the various bay and we did enjoy the pool upon our return. But, Early evening was a bit uncomfortable because cooking made the area even warmer"
