Our guests take a break from playing tennis to watch a cruise ship 
pass by Chocolate Hole Harbor on its way to St Thomas -- Great Expectations
has great views --some of the best of any St John villa -- even its tennis court

St. John Rental Villa
Amenities of Great Expectations:

Upon arrival from St. Thomas on St. John you will be greeted at the ferry dock by our Property Manager, who will load your luggage in their vehicle, escort you to your rental car agency, and then lead you out to Great Expectations (located just 2 miles from Cruz Bay all on paved roads), show you around and then dissapear (unless you need them for something). They will, of course, be available "24/7" for emergency service.
Our Property Manager is a terrific resource of island knowledge (best restaurants, beaches, charters, hiking trails, etc) .
