Hale Lani Villa - breathtaking ocean views Tesla backup

Have rented a lot of places on STJ, Hale Lani is spectacular
This is where you want to be on the island. The sun sets right in front of you, the lights of St Thomas twinkle at night, it is paradise. The two outdoor showers, updated kitchen, comfortable beds, backup generators (critical on STJ), this villa is meticulously maintained with everything you need. The true mark of an excellent rental property is when something goes wrong, how does the management help? In our case, all flights were cancelled due to closed airspace, the island was a complete mess with stranded travelers who had no place to go. Dave and Julie of Caribbean Soul calmly took control, found a place for us, helped with transfer of food, and made sure we had everything to eliminate stress and to truly enjoy the day. They did everything to make sure it was another vacation for us while travelers with no options were stranded at the ferry dock struggling to find anything on St Thomas. As they were dealing with craziness, it was important to them that we enjoyed the day. Impeccable hosts and tremendous villa. We couldn't recommend enough. We will be back.

Spring break getaway for 8
Beautiful views in a lovely location. Flight in was delayed to the island; property manager stayed in contact the whole time making checkin and getting to location easy. The house was clean, there was wildlife everywhere, and taking a moonlight shower outside was a the perfect way to end the night or prep for a night out. Thank you to everyone at Hale Lanai Villa. �

40th Extravaganza!
The pictures don't even come close to how amazing of home this gem is in St John. Julie and Dave are great hosts. We're typically beach goers but it was hard not to enjoy time at the house and the pool. This place is a winner! Best way to start my 40's!

This was a great relaxing escape for our family. Four separate bedrooms was great and the location was central for our home base for the week. The pool was a great spot to watch the sunset from. The views from the house are incredible. Beach chairs and equipment was also nice. Numerous flowers around the house and we saw deer, mongoose, hummingbirds and iguanas from the pool deck. It truly felt like a private escape and we had a wonderful week.

Kitchen Set up was great- fully stocked. Pool had a lovely view. Sprinkler system seemed to be a waste of water and some of the light fixtures need attention. Overall 3.5/4 out of 5.

This home is beautiful, peaceful, clean, new finishes/technology and easy to quickly relax in. The view is real and the open air is amazing. This was an incredible place to stay.
