Estate Chocolate Hole and Great Cruz Bay Hotels

"The staff went above and beyond. The property is being renovated which is said might take 2 years but it is quiet. The grounds are beautiful. They have golf carts to get you to your room, front desk, pool, restaurant and parking. They have a pool bar with restaurant, a restaurant and a small cafe which has staples to buy. There is an onsite area to get a taxi but highly recommend renting a jeep to get around the island. About 8 min drive to Cruz bay with plenty of restaurants and shopping. Just be aware September to November a lot of restaurants and businesses shut down on the island. But it is still a great time to go because it is not busy at all! Very relaxing"

"We had a great time on the island as always! We will be back. "

"This property is beautiful! We had a few hiccups with a few things but overall a great stay. The properly manage was very responsive on text and the house is well stocked. You definitely need a four wheel drive vehicle here. We had an AWD vehicle for the first few days and had to change (due to the rental car company) and got a 4x4 and it was so much easier. We would definitely stay here again!"

"We had a fantastic stay at the Blue Dolphin. The owners were lovely, very responsive, and clearly put a lot of thought into the design of the house. The house itself is located on Cruz Bay with gorgeous sunset views from the pool deck, a well-stocked kitchen, beautiful indoor and outdoor common areas, and spacious bedrooms. The property manager was very accommodating, he coordinated with a rental company we hired to have a crib set up before our arrival, met us from the ferry to show us how to get to the house, and immediately addressed a few small issues with the house.This was our first trip to St. John and we absolutely loved it - beautiful beaches with crystal-clear, calm, shallow waters, easily accessible snorkeling, interesting hikes, and abundant wildlife. If you’re thinking about booking this trip and this house do it! "

"Beautiful views. Property is equally beautiful. Bedrooms are nice and cool (good AC) and well stocked with linens. Dipping pool was lovely as it was hot! "

"Our group of 5 had enjoyed this home and it's location. It was on a body of water that led out to Chocolate hole. There were paddleboards and kayaks for our use. It was also really close to Cruz Bay. The property manager was responsive and someone met us and took us to the property. We had more than enough room for our group. We didn't even use the first level or one of the bedrooms. Great property for a larger group - multiple decks, bedrooms, kitchens, etc. I can't say enough great things about this property and would definitely return!"

"The highlights of this property were its spaciousness, privacy, and prime location. The house had a big open great room that looked out on the very large screened terrace. A huge space for just the two of us. Would be good for a small family. There was complete privacy from the neighbors. The house is on a hill with a nice view looking out on Hart's Bay. The terrace was great for sitting and enjoying the view and the ocean breeze. The house was clean and neat and we had everything we needed including things for the beach like towels and chairs. The A/C in the bedrooms only was nice for sleeping. Conveniently located near grocery shopping and gas station. We had great communication with the property manager who on the first day guided us by phone in our rental car to the property because the driving in St. John is challenging. Parking on the island is not easy -best to get to the beach early in the morning or later in the afternoon. "
