Great getaway

BJ was a great host and what an adorable property. Loved the beach in front of the property and the access to kayaks. Very relaxing for my son and I for a last minute getaway.

St John/String of Pearls

My husband and I had a great stay at String of Pearls Villa! The villa was spacious and clean. The kitchen provided everything we needed to prepare some meals at “home”. And most importantly, the bed was incredibly comfortable! The property was private, yet close to everything! We did rent a vehicle, but it would be easy to catch a taxi from the Westin if need be. BJ and Freida were very responsive and offered many hints and tips to make our stay on St John perfect! We look forward to returning to the island and String of Pearls!

Awesome location

Excellent location within walking distance of Westin via the beach path. Perfect for two people. I would suggest better directions for finding the property especially in the evening. The road to the house could be very challenging for those not comfortable driving on a narrow road . The toilet needs to be reset and linens upgraded. The shower was hot ! Would stay here again !

Thank you for your comments. New linens arrived while you were there, but I didn’t want to inconvenience you! We will look at the directions and make sure they are clear and easy to follow. Perhaps you could indicate where we should clarify. BJ

The best private getaway

I wanted something simple and private for our honeymoon. I knew we wouldn't be at the house often, but I still wanted beach and water access. My husband didn't feel well one day, so it was a perfect spot for me to be able to go sit on our little sandy beach area. A quick maybe 6 minute drive and you are in Cruz Bay for dinner. We enjoyed being able to cook our own breakfast and enjoy it on the porch or by the water! A great way to save if you would rather make sandwiches to carry with you for the day and cook dinner at home. I would highly recommend renting a car. If you don't have a boat, you definitely need a car. There's a spot right down from the house where you can schedule water activities and boat rentals. The property manager was great with response and easy to talk to! All of our friends have been messaging us wanting the info on our little home for the week! I am usually spoiled when it comes to luxurious stays, but in St. John it's the last thing you need. This home is so peaceful and private. You are surrounded by "luxury" just by the views of St. John. Trust me, rent this home and you will not regret the view and privacy you have. We will absolutely be back and I cannot wait!

Cannot recommend enough! The perfect vacation home.

String of Pearls was absolutely perfect for our honeymoon in St. John. The house and property are quiet, while still a very short walk to the Westin. We enjoyed the private beach very much! BJ was very responsive and helped out when we had any questions. We will definitely be back!

Such a perfect spot

We really enjoyed this beautiful place. It’s such a perfect location with easy access to everything we were looking to do. Loved having the necessary amenities so I could cook and even do some laundry. The photos don’t do it justice! The beach access is amazing. And everyone was so kind. We’d love to visit again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Just right for us

Absolutely great location! On the water with an amazing view of the bay. Having the Westin a very short walk on the beach away was a home run. We walked over every night to catch a taxi into Cruz Bay. The living quarters are very nicely arranged and clean. Again, nice view of the bay from bed. Finally, the owner/manager was available and responsive to our needs!
