St. John Hotel Guide - Privateer Bay hotels in St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands.

"John and Janet were wonderful hosts! The house was exactly as described, and included even more than we could have wanted! From our welcome to departure everything was great. The house had everything you could need in the kitchen, plenty of beach towels-as well as extra blankets which is a plus! The sunrise in the morning was beautiful! Thanks for a wonderful stay! We look forward to another visit. Amanda "

"We enjoyed the stay at Sugarview Villa. Loved the Coral Bay area, great local businesses. Not to far from a variety of beaches. A few minor issues with the dryer and water coming in the slider door in a downpour but nothing that would stop us from booking again. Loved the donkeys that came to visit!"

"Lovely stay in a great location. Paul was a delightful host as was Sebastian the cat. "

"The host Emily was fantastic and very personable. The house was everything we expected and more"

"This place is awesome, we love everything about it, from welcoming staffs to that Salt Bay"

"This is a truly wonderful place to stay, and we had an amazing vacation. The property itself is beautiful—the view from the deck is stunning (though slightly less private than the photos appear, but not a problem), the kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, the king bed is comfortable, the outdoor shower is a fun touch, and we enjoyed all the wildlife around the property. The property manager was also wonderful and worked hard to make our stay enjoyable.That said, I think the listing details are a bit outdated and could use an update to better manage expectations. We switched to (and splurged on) this property specifically because the listing mentioned a heated saltwater pool in addition to a hot tub. In reality, there is a hot tub and a regular (unheated) pool. The pool also did not seem to be saltwater. While this didn’t ruin our stay and is understandable, it was disappointing since the heated saltwater pool was a major factor in our decision and the higher price point. I personally didn’t use the pool since it was a bit chilly for me, but my husband enjoyed a refreshing post-beach dip most days while I sat out and enjoyed the view with him. We realize now all we really need are those beautiful St. John beaches anyway.Overall, we loved staying here and would absolutely recommend it to others. If a heated pool isn’t important to you—and you don’t mind the adventurous (but totally manageable) drive up the switchbacks—you’ll have a fantastic time. Great location too."

"The pool with the ocean view is spectacular. We spent a great deal of time there. Given the size of the house and the number of guests it accommodates, they could use more than 4 lounge chairs."
