(Great)
My husband and I had been on St John for 2 weeks and we were moving to accommodate my sister and brother in law.We had freezer items so had made arrangements with Nancy, the greeter to meet at Island Blues on Coral Bay side .We met her at 11 and she was suppose to tell the housekeeper so the refrigerator would be ready. OOPHS, she forgot to tell her, no problem, when we arrived we just put our stuff in freezer and Nancy showed us the villa. We left a tip with the housekeeper since we interrupted her cleaning. We were in and out in 10 min and off to beach for the day.
The road is now paved almost the whole way to the house. Narrow but we only met someone on the road once the whole week. The outside has plenty of area to park a few vehicles and to turn around. It takes about 3 min to get to villa from road at Island blues.
Both bedrooms are large and pretty much equal. Smaller bathrooms with showers. The bedrooms have a wall air conditioner which neither couple used. We did use the ceiling fans.I liked the vanity table and mirror in each bedroom to sit and get beautiful at. Sliding doors from each bedroom to large deck. The TV's in each room were not hooked to cable but they had a library of DV"Ds for usage if wanted.
The kitchen and living room are between both bedrooms. TV, internet worked fine as did phones. We did go in to roam with phones. We both had AT &T and when we got back home they removed roaming charges without problems.. We cooked most breakfast in and ate 3 suppers at villa. New Weber grill and nice table on the porch,The porch goes across the whole house.No ice maker in fridge and no filtered water so bought that in town.
The laundry room is off the porch and down stairs outside, to get to washer and dryer. This was the only room not clean. It creep ed me out down there so my DH.did the laundry.
The porch or whole deck is what makes this villa. The view is wonderful. The hot tub was sparkling clean as was the pool. The pool was small and cold this time of year and we never used it.
This is not a luxury villa but with the view and cleanliness we felt it was quite a bargain
Only thing we saw that needed improving was the shower could use new grout and couch that is off white was showing alot of wear and tear. We had an outlet in one bathroom that we reported did not work. Not a big issue my sister just used my hair dryer in our room.
Privacy was not an issue we never heard anyone. There is a villa above but we never noticed anyone. Villa to far left but not an issue. Liked the robes provided in rooms.
We like to try new villas but would stay here again. Very budget friendly.
