Estate Chocolate Hole and Great Cruz Bay Hotels

"House was great! Had all the amenities! Pictures should be updated because it is def nicer in person! "

"This house was the best VRBO that my husband and I have ever rented. The house is beautiful, clean and very comfortable. The location is quiet and a short drive from downtown. We definitely want to stay here again. "

"Shawna was very informative and greeted us by text with information on our travel day. The cottage was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. "

"Great hotel. Food was meh. So many other places in the island to eat. "

"This rental came with all amenities including hair dryer, several curling irons, facial wipes, paper goods, soaps, etc! Exceptional views all around the house! Pool was awesome! Set up for 2 couples with a pull out couch off of one of the master suites. One master suite had indoor and outdoor shower. The main suite only had an outdoor shower which had a covered ceiling and stone privacy walls! We loved it!!! Nice location close to Cruz bay!! Highly recommend! "

"Everything about this home is wonderful! Great communication by property manager. Beautiful place, gorgeous view, great pool. Perfect for our family of 8"

"The communication was fantastic before and during our stay. Close to town and had everything we needed for a vacation in St John. "

"everything was great really good house we had a great time."

"Booking the String of Pearls was relatively easy and communications with Luciah prior to our scheduled arrival on 29 December 2025 went well. Unfortunately, a travel issue delayed my flight to 30 December, while my daughter arrived on 29 December at the Villa. Surprisingly, the Villa had not been cleaned after the previous guests departure. I called and direct messaged the hosts on Vrbo immediately after my daughter informed me about this unforeseen situation. Within an hour, Luciah and the cleaning crew arrived at the Villa to rectify the issue. Luciah and I spoke on the phone and she assured both me and my daughter that she would make my daughter comfortable as the cleaning ensued. Luciah personally drove my daughter around the town and to a small grocery store to acquire provisions for the next day while I was in route. Constant, uplifting communications with Luciah from that point made our 1st time visit to St. John both memorable and pleasant. Her personal recommendations on dining and National Park sites were SPOT ON! She shared her views cheerfully and REFUNDED 1 day's rental fee for the inconvenience on the 29th. I speculate that a majority of clients would excoriate the Host and Villa in an evaluation of this occurrence (less than 5 stars). In my view (a 4.5 star rating), the situation was handled immediately which helped to obliterate the inconvenience from mind as we enjoyed our St. John adventure and stay at the Villa. Yes, I would rebook the Villa!"
