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!

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

We enjoyed the location very much. The view was actually better than the pictures. The neighborhood was very quiet even though it was only a 5 minute drive to Cruz Bay. The cottage had everything we needed. Abby, the property manager was fantastic. She made sure everything was clean for us and was very kind and helpful during our stay. We would definitely stay there again if we get the chance to return.

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.

We loved this condo. Well appointed kitchen including a dishwasher and all the appliances you could ask for. Washer and dryer were very useful after a day at the beach . Everything was so close that we didn’t feel we needed a car (even tho you get a dedicated parking space). Shared taxis to the beaches are just 5 mins walk away. We appreciated use of the included beach chairs which were easy to carry on trips .

Our stay at Stonehenge Cottage checked all the boxes - perfect location, beautiful surroundings, plenty of room for 5 adults, comfortable beds, and lots of amenities. The place is close to restaurants in Cruz Bay and there are 3 markets to pick up groceries and fresh fish for cooking at home. It is also close to the hiking trails and beaches on the south side of the island which are less populated and provide great snorkeling.

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.

We loved staying at the Meritage Cottage and enjoyed the sunset views from the porch. It was a great base to explore St. John from. The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed. It was really helpful having Abby lead us to the house from the ferry!

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 .

I loved staying here! Private, peacefule, and a pool, short walk to the beach and restaurants. I would defintely stay again, can't wait to go back!

This place is 100% where you want to stay if you want a truly peaceful island get away! We enjoyed the open air set up of the property, morning and evening costal mountain winds were phenomenal. (Our April stay, the multiple mini split systems weren’t needed) We were able to watch deer, iguanas and all kinds of birds on the wrap around deck. Which also doubled as a great safe and secure play area for our kids. Mike was very friendly and responded quickly to all of our questions/needs! If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful island getaway, this property is where you need to stay.

Bianca’s place is so much more than described. Impecable, confortable and modern. The only table we didn’t use was the indoor dinning table. The bathrooms are clean and beautiful. We cooked most of the time and everything we needed was there . Worth every penny. You wake up and go to sleep to soft waves on the beach. Best snorkeling in the entire island as far as I’m concerned. Absolutely loved it there !

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.

Gorgeous views and great island feel nestled into the hill! Barb was super accommodating and helpful, definitely and 5 star stay!

Our stay at Patricia’s place in St. Thomas was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment I arrived, Patricia made me feel incredibly welcome. She was warm, friendly, and genuinely committed to ensuring I had everything I needed. Her hospitality truly elevated the experience—she was always available for helpful recommendations and made me feel completely at ease throughout our stay. The property itself was a dream. Tucked away in a quiet spot, it offered the perfect level of privacy to relax and unwind. The view was absolutely breathtaking—every morning I woke up to panoramic scenes that felt like a postcard come to life. Whether enjoying a morning coffee or watching the sunset, the beauty of the surroundings was unforgettable. Inside, the space was immaculate and thoughtfully prepared. Everything was sparkling clean, tastefully decorated, and felt just like home. It was the kind of place that instantly puts you at peace, with all the comforts you could ask for.

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Tua. The property felt so secluded by all the surrounding plants and trees but we loved how conveniently located it was to restaurants and a grocery store that we could walk to. The inside spaces were very comfortable and we enjoyed the screened in porch area with the Weber grill for cooking. James was very responsive host and helpful during our stay.

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.

We absolutely loved our stay! The house is incredible; the property even better. Super clean, peaceful, fantastic views everywhere you turn. The property is very private and set back a good bit from the road, but manages to not feel too remote. Other homes are visible yet we felt we were in our own world. Definitely need a Jeep or SUV to get to the property (and generally for STJ) - I would not walk anywhere from the home as the roads are very narrow and very unsafe for walkers. If we're lucky enough to get back to STJ, we'd absolutely look to stay here again!

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!

Villa Solare was the perfect place for our group. We loved the separation if people wanted to go hang in their own area but plenty of space for us to hang as a group in the main house and patio area. The views are incredible (pictures don't even do it justice!). The pool was fantastic and we loved that it was saltwater. The water temp was perfect. Susan provided PLENTY of amenities (TP, paper towels, spice cabinet stocked, etc) for our 8-day stay. The grill was an excellent feature (we grilled out multiple nights and never ran out of fuel). Highly recommended & hope to stay here again the future!

We wish we were there right now! This home was exceptionally well supplied for our group of nine; plenty of dishes, utensils, kitchen tools, pots, and pans and towels (bath & beach), and beach equipment. We cooked all our dinners there, and the appliances all worked well. There was an abundance of comfortable outdoor furniture by the pool where we loved sitting in the shade, looking out at the amazing view. The beds and sheets were also very comfortable. We did not use the air conditioning because there was a nice ocean breeze the whole time we were there. Emma was extremely responsive and helpful in all her communication. I would highly recommend a four-wheel-drive car to come down the steep and bumpy driveway.
