Guesthouse vacation rentals in Northside

The guest house was as described in the photos. We were welcomed by the Host. Everything was there that was needed for a comfortable stay. The outdoor showers were interesting. These were the hidden gem. We ask about them in advance so this was not a surprise. For a private laid back stay, this was it. St John like St. Thomas is very hilly so be prepared. This was only a 10 minute trip from the car ferry. The store was less than 5 minutes away. Two tv's to enjoy entertainment from the kitchen or bedroom. Would stay again if we are back in St John. Five stars, glad we choose this place for our 30th wedding anniversary.

We had a great time at this airbnb! The view from the balcony was fantastic, and it was relatively close to Red Hook (we would recommend driving or getting a taxi instead of walking though, as the road is curvy and the cars drive quickly). Carmen, the property manager, answered all of our questions and kept us informed about an incoming storm. There isn't a ton of space inside, but that was fine for our group because we spent most of the time outside of the house.

Can’t near enough good things about our stay! The views are gorgeous, the space is super comfy and spotlessly clean, and Catherine is an incredibly kind and welcoming host. We loved waking up to the sunrise each morning with views from every angle. The outdoor shower felt so luxurious! We had an incredible breeze for 5 days and never touched the AC. Loved this area of St John - felt quiet and secluded but still just a few mins drive fron some restaurants in Coral Bay, and not more than 25-30 mins drive from everything on the island. Catherine gave us great suggestions in the area! We will absolutely return. Thanks again Catherine!

The villa at House of Open Arms was the perfect home base for our honeymoon. The views are breathtaking, the grounds and gardens pristine, and the villa was incredibly warm and inviting. We loved how quiet and peaceful the villa and Coral Bay were. Catherine went above and beyond to ensure our arrival to the island and drive to the villa was seamless. She is also a fantastic cook - our welcome dinner was 10/10! We couldn’t have asked for a better hostess or home for a week. I wish we could give Catherine more than 5 stars! Thank you everything, Catherine! We will be back!

What a beautiful place - the views were amazing. The location - astounding! The unit itself had everything we needed. Close to snorkeling and hiking. Be sure to rent a Jeep because the roads are steep and winding. We loved it!

Hi Lera, I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you for allowing us to stay at your home. It was absolutely perfect for our family and had everything we needed to make our trip to St. John so enjoyable. We truly appreciated the thought and care put into the space. Thanks again for your hospitality! Best, Christy and Rocky

We loved staying here! Short drive to anywhere we wanted to go, and the cottage was so comfortable. Perfect home base for a long weekend of exploring the island! While there was WiFi, it was a little spotty (which the hosts worked to resolve, but ya know!). This was fine for us because we were doing an off-line trip, but wanted to let others know :) We would definitely stay here again!! Location was so awesome, peaceful, and the hosts were incredibly thoughtful with recommendations. Great spot to stay!!

Deena and Charlie were fabulous, I truly felt like I was staying with family! They welcomed us with open arms, so inviting, so informative and very knowledgeable of the island and all there is to do. I loved getting to know them, beautiful people inside and out!!! I was so impressed with Charlies French Quater Bistro and Deenas captains skills!!! Being next door to Lime Tree Resort is just the icing on the cake, because the sunsets are breathtaking. 10/10 will definitely be booking again! Thanks for a fabulous stay!

Not a single complaint! Great location and the most updated, pretty place we’ve stayed on the island!

This was an incredible little villa to stay at on the island. Lera is a proactive and responsive host. The home was very clean. We had several questions which Lera answered very quickly. She had her property manager help us out. Slightly hard to find the house for newcomers or describing to taxis (if you’re not renting a car.) About a 6 min drive from downtown Cruz Bay so you’re really close to restaurants or grocery stores if you want to cook at the home. Driveway is very steep (typical) so be prepared to drive up in a high clearance vehicle. Or walk down the driveway to the road to get in a taxi. During “rush hour” around 5 pm or so the street is very loud with cars and large trucks going up and down the street for about 2 hours. Keep that in mind if you’re looking for 100% peace. There were very nice tenants below the floor we were staying. Since the house sits on a hill, the views are beautiful from the balcony! Loved our stay overall!

Tina and Joe were great hosts. Their little cottage was a perfect base to explore St John's beaches, they even provide the beach gear. The kitchen has basic spices and some oil, so if you are planning to cook make sure you bring what you need if basic spices won't work. The mini-split in the bedroom keeps it nice a cool. The rest of the cottage is usually pretty breezy, but still a little "tropical". We had an issue with the hot tub not working, but Tina provided a discount to help with our missing out on that amenity. I would definitely stay here again.

We loved staying at Cassis and will do it again! My husband and teen son stayed for one week in Sept. We found her place to be relaxing, close enough to town and loved our view from the living and bedroom. The pool was a nice way to cool off and special treat after remarkable beach days. Having Cassi being on property gave us a sense of comfort that anything we needed would be address. Etc we never felt it was an intrusion to our privacy. We felt right at home, pretending to be locals for a week! We love STJ and definitely will return to Cassis place! Tip; the address will not be found on maps so follow Cassi's through directions when heading to her place. They truly have a little gem of a spot!

We had a great experience in this place. we loved the view it was breathtaking. We had everything we needed. As a family, we definitely recommend this place. Ja was very attentive and ready to answer all our questions.

Love love loveeee this place! The aesthetic is one that is Pinterest worthy. Although the trek up and down the winding roads was something to get used to (a rental car is a must). We appreciated the privacy of the Airbnb. She had all the basic things we needed from the kitchen utensils to bathroom hygiene products. Not only that, Jennifer provided clear instructions to get to the location and was very flexible with checking in/checking out. 10/10 highly recommend!
