Family-friendly vacation rentals in St. John

Having access to the Westin and all of its amenities definitely came in handy while traveling with kids. The Westin ferry is pricey but worth the cost if you want the easiest trip to/from airport to resort. While we did rented a car for on island exploring, it was great having the Westin approved safari taxis onsite for trips into Cruz bay where parking can be hard to find. The condo was well appointed and more than comfortable for our family of 5. We will definitely be making a trip back soon!

Cynthia and her team were amazing. From the moment we booked until we left, the communication was prompt and helpful. The place is Heaven on Earth! The views are amazing and very private. There are gorgeous paths on the property with exotic plants and wildlife. The hosts have everything you will need, including aloe for sunburns, beach chairs, snorkeling gear, towels, coolers, etc. This is probably the nicest and most well appointed rental we have stayed in. The location is quiet and only a short drive to restaurants, the market, marina, beaches and hikes. However, being at the far end of the island, everything is scaled down and there are fewer people. We found uninhabited beaches and some of the best hiking ever. If you don't like crowds, this is the place for you. Highly recommend.

Beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Hope to stay again.

Great week at the Westin Villa. Our family of 4 fit just fine in this studio. Nice to be a bit removed from the rest of the resort but an easy walk down the hill to any amenity we would need. We would rebook for sure.

This place was AMAZING!!! The views were spectacular. Perfectly suited for a couple wanting to enjoy a romantic getaway on a beautiful island.

Great condo in a gorgeous resort! Nancy was very responsive and easy to work with.

a little tough to find in the rain and dark, but the location is excellent and it's the end unit on the beach next to the restaurant. the convenience and proximity to the east end goings on was excellent. theres also a bunch of snorkeling equipment, bug spray, sunscreen , etc thats left from other guests. again, super handy.

Great week at Leap of Faith. Everything was immaculate, and Amy was a terrific and very responsive host. Helped us to book a catamaran excursion that turned out to be terrific, very helpful with insight about local places. Would highly recommend everything about it.

Marvin's place was awesome! He was super responsive, always there if we had questions. I wish every Airbnb was like his. He helped us tons, and it really felt like home. He even left us fresh fruit and local goodies – such a nice touch! Definitely recommend it. The view was amazing every morning too. Thanks for everything!

We needed a get away from busy life and found Water Island and Ray and Cheri’s place to be perfect. Can walk to Honeymoon beach , golf Cart around the island ( rent at the docks ) food at the two places that serve is excellent people are very nice and easy to get to know. I didn’t hear one police siren or ambulance all week and that’s beautiful. There is not much congestion in people , it’s just very peaceful and we will be going back for sure .

Chris was extremely responsive and answered all of our questions. She also gave us local recommendations and had a cooler and beach chairs available for us to take to the local beaches.

Just wow!!! We’ve been coming to the islands for about 30 years, mostly staying in St. John… but the views from this villa were the best we have ever had! The villa was just extremely practical and homey! The king beds and cold AC helped us to recover from long days of hikes, snorkels, beaches, and shopping! The decor was so nice and we loved the live plants and orchids! We enjoyed the huge tv as we watched the college World Series in the evenings. The breezes through the villa were very relaxing! We will plan to come again! Thanks Michael for being so helpful, attentive, and quick to respond!

Amazing place to stay !!

Wanted a place to take our family and extended family of friends on a vacation they would always remember. This absolutely was that and more. Kids were in awe and so were we. Things we did include going to honeymoon bay multiple x to enjoy the beach, eat and have a few adult beverages. Went to mainland to shop & explore. Ingrid made our stay so much the better w her amazing energy. The massages from her were best I've ever had. Kids had a drum circle night and that was amazing. Our hosts son took us out on his sail boat, super exciting afternoon. The creatures at 4 elements were a fun part of trip. Hermit crabs. Turtles, lizards and cool sounding frogs. My number one recommendation would be to make sure you rent a golf cart before arrival. The walking up hills was likely good for me but I didn't like it 😂. I believe they book up quick so rent golf cart before you arrive. The property is so amazingly beautiful so worth going. Hope we can make it back another year.

I loved my stay here, the space was beautiful, clean and has sm character. Despite having AC the home stayed cool with the many windows and fans. The driver that Bg recommends got us everywhere we needed to go and always prompt. Overall would love to go back to ST. Thomas just to stay at this Airbnb so peaceful and quiet ugh a dream!!

Pat’s paradise on top of the hill is breathtaking. This was better than any resort, by far. If you like independence, adventure, and a cozy homey vibe, stay here. Everything was clean, stocked, and the extra recommendations at check in from Pat were top notch. We also booked one of her local car rental recommendations (Paradise Rentals) and were impressed with that as well.

We were pleasantly surprised at how quiet and private this home was considering its proximity to restaurants and the main thoroughfare in Coral Bay! It was so convenient for us to get to all the beaches we love to snorkel at AND the very best dinners were at Sharky’s right outside our front gate!! So we did not have to drive to dinner most nights!! We could walk to Crabby’s, practically next door for snorkel rentals. There is also a small market right behind Crabby’s. Any questions we had were answered almost immediately as Jose was living on the premises. We only saw him when we needed help with something. Only concern for Seniors is the winding stairwell to go upstairs to bedrooms and main bathroom. Fortunately, there is a first floor bathroom and shower we also really appreciated being Seniors ourselves!! We LOVED the screened porch surrounding the home and the small pool was refreshing after a snorkel. There is a hose for cleaning sand off everything by the pool.

Beautiful home with stunning water view. on a clear day we could see St Croix. Spacious house with retractable glass doors and great grill and pool area. Our local house manager was friendly and exceptionally helpful and responsive. Easy drive down to Cruz Bay for grocery shopping and eating out. We loved it.

Pura Vida was lovely! The entire home was spotless. The views and the outdoor pool was our favorite. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. The grounds were beautiful and interesting. The ruins had its own little history lesson and we loved the shell book and its history to previous owners of the home. We couldn’t have had a better experience. Thank you so much!

Jackie was always very responsive with our questions leading up to the stay. Before arrival Tammy her PM reached out and was very helpful. Once we arrived we immediately felt at home. It was perfect and exactly what we needed. It was clean and the views from the wraparound porch is stunning. We are already planning next year's trip and will stay at Jackie's home again.

Stunning views. Like stunning. Beautiful decks and a great pool. Easy to find (driveway right next to Colombo's) - steep but easy with a Jeep. No nearby neighbors so it's quiet and very peaceful. Did I mention the views? The house itself is two stories with the first story being under construction. The living space is all on the second floor which is entered by a stairway from the pool deck. The 'house deck' has two tables, two loungers and a grill. The grill works great. The bedrooms are adequately sized and perfect for our family of four. Washer and dryer are in a closet next to the kitchen which made it easy to do laundry. Kitchen was adequately supplied with most everything we needed. There are some minor updates that need to be made but overall the space more than met our needs. Beaches are only 5-10 minutes away and Coral Bay is about the same distance for groceries, restaurants, etc. Kristen was super responsive and easy to work with. Would happily book again!

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!

Absolutely beautiful, great location in Fish Bay, and has everything we needed for a perfect vacation in St John, USVI. Full kitchen with everything you need, comfortable living space, amazing outdoor showers, beach chairs, cooler, beach towels, outdoor grill, private pool, washer and dryer. It's perfect! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

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!
