St John Villa Rentals
St John island is one of the HOTTEST DESTINATIONS in the Caribbean. This tiny island is almost 2/3rds National Park. With stunning beaches and protected forests, reefs and historic plantation ruins; it’s no wonder why St John is on just about every Top 10 Destinations List.
VRBO/HomeAway/AirBnB charge a 12% > 20% Booking Fee! That can add between $200 and $1,000+ to your rental!
Unlike other Caribbean travel destinations, St John island has just one true resort, The Weston St John [ Caneel Bay Resort is closed since 2017 hurricanes] ; and neither is/was an all inclusive St John resort. Luckily St John has over 800 vacation rentals. They range in size from a 1 bedroom Caribbean cottage to 8, 9, and 10 bedroom luxury villas. Prices span from a few hundred dollars to over $7,500 dollars per night! So it should come as no surprise that the job of choosing a St John rental villa can be daunting. On top of that, the mega-rental sites often obscure communication with villa owners and managers, charge guest “service fees”, and ballooning booking fees are passed along to guests!
