Guest declare Great Expectations the best villa on St John

"We have been coming to St. John for 10 years... Great Expectations is undoubtedly our favorite villa that we have stayed in. The location, seeing the sun rise and set - have been exceptional. My special place is the Hart Bay side - breezes, the way the sun hits [the water]. The Great Room is wonderful. Kristin and Chuck have thought of everything... Beautiful! We enjoyed! We will be back!"

Our Stay at Great Expectations was great. We had 5 different families with a total of 15 people. Kids ages ranged from 13-21...the tennis court/basketball court are a big plus when you have to keep kids entertained.

The layout of the villa works perfectly if you are traveling with a group. Bedrooms allow you to have your own space with your own private balcony area while the main room and pool area are perfect when you all want to be together.

The only reason I did not rate the location as 5 star is because I prefer a bit more isolation from neighbors; you are in a residential area so houses are close and lots of them. That being said we heard very little noise all week and the landscaping around the houses provide privacy...I'm from the country...I prefer my neighbors a couple of miles away:). It was very convenient to town so that was a plus.

I would recommend this villa to anyone and would stay again if traveling with a large group.

"Great Expectations meets and exceeds it's name"

This was our third trip to St. John. I like this little island more than anyplace I've ever visited. Half of the natives ignore you and the other half treat you like family. I haven't visited during the busy season, but this time of year it is wonderful and easy to get around . We had 13 people in our group and never had any trouble with dinner reservations or anything else except parking. That wasn,t a problem either after we found a pay lot around the corner from St John Spice. It's pretty entertaining watching them park lots of cars in such a small space. Great guys work there. Great Expectations- Wonderful. We had a 4 yr old with us and he took the small triangular pool as his own soon after we arrived. While the pools appear small in the pictures they were big enough. You wouldn't think you would need a hot tub in the heat but with the breeze at night it got used alot. The villa had more pool toys than you could ever use, as well as tennis rackets, basketballs and noodles and chairs and coolers for the beach.We ended up eating most of our meals out,but the kitchen had everything you would need to cook anything. We chose Great Expectations because we wanted to be together,but the way the villa is set up you have plenty of room to get away for a while. I hope I'm leaving the impression that we had a wonderful time,in a wonderful villa on a wonderful island. Wonderful!!!

"I couldn't believe how well stocked the home was - even down to the beach towels & laundry detergent. I've never seen such a well-stocked kitchen at any of the homes we've rented...how often do you see games, puzzles & books for your use?"
