We have been to St. John abotu 4 times total amongst the 6 of us, and are returning this December to stay in a villa on the North Shore for the first time.
The villa is Island Sun, and we haven't found many (if any) reviews on this site after several searches, and was just wondering if anyone had stayed there, and if they might have any photos that we could drool over during the next few months in addition to what is on the villa rental agency's site.
Thank you in advance for any comments and/or photos!

My favorite place to stay.
We were there 2 weeks ago.We also stayed there 3 years ago and would stay there every year if we could afford it.The views are outstanding and the villa is set up perfect in my opinion.The only negative is the pool should be on the water side for a better view but it's not that bad.Being on top of the mountain you have the most incredible breezes coming thru the house.When the breeze is from the south the bedrooms can be a little warm at nite but with a north wind we had to get under the blanket at nite.It was wonderful.
You will feel like you have the island to yourself.
The villa is imaculate in every detail.
Please let me know if you have any questions and I will be glad to answer them.

I don't know anything about this villa, but I just searched it and the views from there are beautiful. Be sure to post a review if you stay there. It looks great!

That time of year the villa should be awesome.If you need a guide please feel free to invite me.That's how we were there two weeks ago.I helped a friend and her sister-in-law find that villa and they invited my wife and me to join them at the last minute.
Does lightning strike twice in the same place? Hummm

Though I'd love to share a happy hour adult beverage with you if you're there, I think we can find it!
(Well...assuming we go straight from the ferry to the villa when we arrive, instead of the 3 hour celebratory cocktail event at the Beach Bar like last time!)
MIke - one thing we were looking forward to is a splash in the pool when we return from the beaches for the day...any guess as to if there will still be sun on the pool late in the day?

No Problem
The situation of that pool allows for maximun sun.There will be no shade on that pool all day.It is a heated pool which can actually be to warm.We turn it off from time to time just to cool it down.
If all they have out is the little boom box on the sofa table,look in the bottom cabinet to the right of the front door and get out the cd player and hook it up,it uses the speakers mounted in the ceiling.Much better if you are in to that.
