Cannot rave more about the home and our vacation. Beautiful house and pool with extras like snorkels, floats and towels. Jackie was a gracious host and was so thoughtful to provide snacks when we arrived after traveling. Very convenient location to Cruz Bay shops and groceries. Cannot wait to come back! Thank you!

Great Location
Property has a very open and tropical feel that blends into the environment around it. Built into a hillside with panoramic views of the harbor it was a perfect distance from town, shops, restaurants and markets. Far enough away to be quiet and secluded but close enough to run into town in just a few minutes. I think the best way to describe the property would be cozy - not big or overly luxurious (not that we were looking for or expected that) it had everything we needed from the pool which was larger and deeper than many we had perused online, to an extremely well stocked kitchen, lots of outdoor seating, towels snd snorkeling/pool/beach gear. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful stay!
We just returned from Idyllic Villa and our time there was wonderful. The pictures do not do it justice. We absolutely loved the layout for 2 couples. Plenty of privacy, great outdoor area that’s covered and has a huge table. Plus great pool and pool deck. Also loved how close we were to town… just a 6 minute drive. We will not hesitate to stay here again!

Lovely Family Holiday
We stayed at Idyllic for almost 2 weeks with our grown children and their spouses. It was perfect! The view and the location were exceptional! My husband woke early every day just to sit outside and overlook Chocolate Hole. My kids loved the separate apartment on the lower level. The pool was lovely too. We had a wonderful time!

Great second time at Idyllic!
We spent a week on our honeymoon 17 years ago at Idyllic and decided to take our 3 kids this time! It was fantastic! They heard my husband comment how there used to be a hammock on the back deck, and the next day they set one up! Beautiful views and very helpful hosts.

Just perfect
This house was perfect for three childhood friends to revel in a lifetime of experiences. It was big enough to have our spaces and small enough to be cozy. I have rented many VRBO houses over the years. It was easily the best appointed. If you needed it, it was there. Plenty of towels, paper products and spices and things like sunscreen and bug spray. It even had an outdoor cat to dote on. We enjoyed a lot of time in the pool and Jackie, the house manager was helpful and attentive. It is also in a very nice and quiet location.

We enjoyed every minute of our time at Idyllic! The home is comfortable, warm, and inviting and came with everything we needed plus some. We loved reading on the covered porch, walking in the quiet neighborhood, and watching a spectacular sunset every evening. The location close to town was wonderful! Paradise!

Great house - but island power outages were an issue with no backup power/generator.
The house was beautiful, clean, had gorgeous views and a great location close to all the nightlife in Cruz Bay. Unfortunately island power outages were an issue and we had to leave this house early (as did the renters the week before). We arrived June 2 and left on June 6. Fortunately the Westin had room for us so we moved there. The house manager Jackie was FANTASTIC - the owners are lucky to have her!! She continuously checked in and gave us what updates she could on outages. She stopped by to bring us extra flashlights when we lost power on day 2 around 5p which was key because it was out until early the next day. Each day thereafter was just constant worry if you would / would not have power so we moved to salvage our family vacation. If the house got a generator, would consider renting it again. But would either need island issues to be fixed or house to have a generator - otherwise we would do the Westin again.

Fantastic Week at Villa Idyllic!
They say that the 3 most important things with a property is location, location, location. And Villa Idyllic is in a perfect location in the Chocolate Hole area with amazing views of the sea and beautiful daily sunsets. My family of 6 including 4 kids ranging from 8-17 years old spent a week at Idyllic and loved it. We also enjoyed the pool and the close proximity to many great restaurants, beaches and hiking trails. The villa had everything we needed to help make this a vacation a winner. Jackie was super responsive and helpful throughout the process. If you are considering renting a villa in St. John, I would definitely recommend Idyllic.

Nice family retreat
I don’t think it’s fair to give a review of our stay at this property since it was during a very trying time in our world. A lot of things were closed and we were all taking precautions because of the pandemic but we will come back and then be able to have a true St. John experience. My entire family did agree that the property manager Jackie did think of everything to make us feel comfortable during this trying times by providing the proper type of wipes bacterial soap etc.

Best deal on the island
You won’t find a house of this size with a beautiful view and a private pool for less than less on St. John. The manager is excellent and extremely thorough and professional. The view is phenomenal. The view could be maximized with some plant trimming but I understand that the owner intends to do that soon, some minor repairs needed in the house, but as I said this place is a steal in my opinion so we didn’t mind at all, manager did point things out and I’ve every confidence if we needed something addressed she would have been right on it. We were way too relaxed to be bothered with normal wear and tear. Pool isn’t heated but was remarkably warm, very comfortable temp. Manager left a welcome basket which was super thoughtful. House is very well stocked with all the things you need, even plenty of alcohol left by precious guests. Excellent, highly recommend and we hope to be back soon! 5 stars

Perfect house for 3 couples -- parents and grown kids
We rented this house for ourselves and our two grown children and their spouses. The reviews of this property were absolutely accurate. A fantastic space for a family gathering! Beautiful furnishings, well-stocked kitchen, gorgeous porch with a view, great pool (we used it every day), and close to town and anything you'd want. The owner and management team were very helpful and responsive. Beds were comfortable, climate control was great (and needed in the late PM on return from the beach). There were beach chairs, beach towels, all linens -- well equipped. Nice floats for the pool too. Our one small negative was the lack of shade. The porch does not provide shade from the late pm sun -- and the pool umbrella could not cover the deck adequately. We understand a cabana that we in place before Maria will be reinstalled soon. Short of that, this place was perfection! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us

Amazing Vacation!
The home met all expectations...wonderful view, well stocked, super clean. The best part was Jackie, the manager. Not only did she set out a beautiful welcome plate of fruit and wine, but she took the time to go over every detail of the house that we would need to know. Later in the week, we headed to the car at 6:45am with plans to take the car ferry to St. Thomas for a full day of excursions (zip lining and sea trek...both highly recommended!). The battery on our rental was completely dead. Needless to say, we were in a panic since we’d prepaid everything and didn’t have much time. Jackie was our only contact, so we called. She picked up right away and was at the house in 5 minutes. The car was too dead to jump, so she took my husband to a nearby gas station for a new battery and helped him install it! We made our ferry and the day was saved! I would highly recommend this house. We loved the pool and used the grill and the well stocked kitchen several times. The location is perfect and the manager is perfect:).

The Idyllic Villa Is Certainly Idyllic
Our experience at the Idyllic Villa was fantastic! Jackie, the property manager, communicated with us throughout the reservation process. She provided valuable information about the property, the island, and various car rental options. She even arranged a private taxi service to meet us at the airport to take us to the Red Hook ferry for an additional fee. The private taxi was worth it! It was a much more comfortable and pleasant ride than the regular taxis that pack their vans full of random travelers. Jackie met us at the St. John ferry dock when we arrived on the island. She took our bags into her car while we retrieved our rental car. Our car rental was delayed because we arrived after their regular closing hours, but Jackie stayed with us while we waited. After we were all set with our rental car, we followed her to the villa, where she gave us a complete property tour. Jackie and the property owners even had a welcome gift of some supplies for us in the refrigerator! The villa is beautiful! The view of Great Cruz Bay is simply stunning. Our family enjoyed sitting in the living room, on the deck, and swimming in the pool while soaking up that view! The villa has everything you need for your stay. The beds were very comfortable; there were plenty of bath and beach towels, coolers, beach chairs, and umbrellas for use at the beaches. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, plates, utensils, cooking implements, and herbs and spices. We used the gas grill on the deck to cook a few meals, and it worked wonderfully. The clothes washer and dryer were stocked with detergent and fabric softener. The bathrooms had plenty of bar soap, toilet paper, and other items. Little things like those can often complicate a rental experience, but Jackie and the owners thought of everything! During our stay, we had a minor maintenance issue that was our fault, but Jackie had a maintenance person at the property within 30 minutes of us reporting the problem. Fantastic service! I couldn’t have been happier with our stay and with Jackie. My family is already planning a return trip, and we want to reserve the same villa for next year.

Idyllic was great!
We (family of 4, 2 of which are teenagers) spent 8 nights at Idyllic in late July. The Villa included everything we needed for a very pleasant stay, including A/C, beach towels and beach accessories, coolers, and a private pool. Location is great - just outside of Cruz Bay, very close to Dolphin Market and other shops. Property manager Jackie was very communicative - she emailed and texted every step of the way through our various flight delays/changes. She met us at the villa upon our arrival, which was great. The layout of the villa was ideal for us - there are two air conditioned bedrooms on the upper level, and an air conditioned "suite" on the lower level (that also contains the washer/dryer). This worked well for us as it afforded our 18 year old their own space on the lower level. We did not have any occurrences of power outages during our stay, though WAPA did notify that they were going to implement one on our last night on island. Jackie texted us right away when she received the notification, which was much appreciated! Thankful that we did not have any power outages, but please note this site does not have backup generator (as many on island do not). Hopefully WAPA can get their act together, as their mismanagement of the power generating system is going to be very impactful upon the tourism industry in USVI (especially going into the busy season), and consequently upon the great people who live on the islands and depend upon tourism for their livelihoods.
