Amenities

All you need is some clothes, a credit card, and a little cash

We and our staff work hard to provide all the amenities and services you will need for your St. John vacation. The Villa will be cleaned prior to your arrival with each bedroom set-up as you specifically request. We have arranged discounted transportation for our guests from the airport on St. Thomas to St. John, including rental cars and for private taxis which are large enough to accommodate your party and luggage.  Everyone underestimates how much stuff they actually bring for a week or more. If you reserve a private taxi your driver will be waiting for your flight to take you directly to the ferry to St. John or, if you wish, even a private water taxi which will whisk you to St. John with no hassle or wait.

Arriving on St. John

Upon arrival on St. John you will be greeted at the ferry dock by us. We will meet you or escort you to your rental car agency, lead you to Great Expectations (located just 2 miles from Cruz Bay, all on paved roads), show you around the Villa, and then leave you to relax. We are available via text or phone call should you need assistance with anything else during your stay.

Our fabulous cleaning staff will have the Villa shining for arrival and will make sure that your bedrooms are configured to your specific request.  Dennis, our professional landscaper, and his crew work tirelessly to keep our grounds looking perfect.

Our entire staff truly treat the Villa as their own and take great pride in preparing it for you.
