Newly remodeled studio in Cruz Bay.

Great place, exactly as pictured and described. Clean & comfortable. Wonderful location if you don't want to rent a jeep. It was easy to walk to many restaurants, the market is right next door and cabs are just a short walk away. There wasn't anything I needed during my stay that Cayo Sereno didn't have. You can definitely hear the roosters crowing early in the morning. This is all over town though and not a reflection of this host at all. if you are a light sleeper bring a sound machine use an phone app like we did.

Nice place, just like the description and photos

I enjoyed my stay here and I was extremely pleased with how close I was to the festivities that were going on during my stay. My host, Julie, responded to all my inquiries promptly as well. I would stay here again and recommend this place to all my friends.

Great location! Walking distance to market, shopping, & downtown. Comfy space for 2 adults & toddler. Clean. Would have liked air conditioner to be stronger but also it was really, reallllllly hot outdoors. Would book again as small family.

Their place was great, and the view was even better in person. Very accessible to just about anything you could want to do in Cruz Bay (and within a 5-10 min walk of everything!) The apartment was just as advertised and had plenty of clean towels and linens, and was spotless when we got there. Fantastic spot to stay for a weekend getaway!

Great value for the money. Place was clean, fun and very walkable! Only criticism is that we would have liked Julie to be a bit more organized on check-in. There were some wires crossed on things like suite name and door codes that could have been avoided. All that being said, would stay there again!

Hi Tom, we are so sorry we crossed up. We accidently sent you the wrong unit name when we sent you a message about having the property painted. Our mistake! The airbnb app has all of the arrival instructions and directions to the unit very cleary written out. I think if you would have accessed the app you would have been just fine. Im thankful you were just one unit away from Cayo Sereno and you only needed to go down one set of steps to the correct door. I always recommend checking the app when there is confusion about anything at a property on AirBnb. We are glad you enjoyed the location and accessibilty to town and all the action here in Cruz bay. Thank you for pointing out how clean and comfortable our place is too. We work really hard to keep it spotless for our guests!

If your looking for close to everything this is the one ! I was able to walk for shopping and restaurants ! Left my car parked at mr pipers and it was a easy walk back to the condo !

Hi Brandi! Thanks for staying with us and glad you were able to see the convenience of staying right in Cruz Bay. The arrival instructions do tell you to text us when you have any trash and we pick it up for you!

This is a nice place located in the heart of Cruz Bay. The property has been recently renovated and looks great inside. They also provide lots of towels and beach chairs which was a nice touch. Now for the cons: Between the neighbor's barking dog and the loud roosters in the morning, it is a little loud, the windows provide little to no sound insulation. The lack of parking was also a minor inconvenience for us as the lumberyard (which is next door) charges $70 until 11;59pm. Since we weren't willing to wake up at 11:59pm every night to renew the parking, we parked for $8/day at the VIPA car barge gravel lot. Overall a good stay.

Cruz Bay
Very cute unit and super convenient. The event space next door is loud late on the weekends. Super easy location to get anywhere.

- Laura D , Posted: 01/01/2024

Very convenient location, close to everything in Cruz Bay. Very walkable to restaurants and shopping. Unit was very clean and well appointed. Great to have beach chairs, beach towels and a cooler available as we were flying in. Very pretty view of town and the surrounding water. We would definitely recommend this property.

Pros: -excellent location -laundry facility -lots of beach accessories provided: towels, chairs, cooler -good communication from hosts Cons: -overpriced for what it is -too many chores upon check out...we had to take our trash to St Thomas because we could not locate the dumpsters mentioned -unit needs maintenance. Cracked closet mirror door and chipped paint -no body wash or soap provided so make sure to bring your own Other tips: -check out is 10am which is the earliest we ran into in our multi island stay -we ran into quite a few bugs over our 3 nights including roaches and spiders. This wasn't a huge deal and is to be expected as we are in a tropical environment and it is an older building but something to be aware of! -since parking isn't provided we had good luck getting a free spot in the lot outside the DMV just down the hill -as the host mentions there is a noisy bar that opened nearby but we didn't find it to be disruptive with the windows and doors closed

Thank you for the review. We really appreciate you pointing out what a great location we have and the amenities we do provide. Our current checkout process in the app and during your stay is to text me when you need trash pick up. We used to have a dumpster close by but the city has removed it. Im sorry you had to dispose of your own trash. I would have gladly grabbed it for you. We do have a monthly insect service but yes it is difficult in the tropics. The mirror is cracked at the bottom but most people are just happy to see a full length mirror. We take a lot of pride in our unit and recently updated it all and furnishing, paint, and new a/c. We also have the unit priced well under most of our competition to help people such as yourself that want to do a multi island tour on a budget and allow short stays. We certainly hope you will return again. Some guests have found that when renting a car on st john helps becuase the local companies allow parking on their loys overnight.

Lovely place
Lovely studio. Clean and organized. In the middle of the city. Good sunset view. Comfortable bed. Cozy beach theme. Parking included, otherwise parking is a nightmare in St John. It included beach chairs and coolers, did not include snorkeling gear nor umbrella (not a complaint just fyi). TV included Netflix. There is a lot of noise in the morning, but the worst was rosters literally outside the window crowing at 5:45AM every morning. That was the worst. It's not the owners fault, it seems like the locals are used to them. This is a con for being so close to the restaurants and bars which are all walking distance.

Lovely place!
Stayed in 2023 for a week and it was delightful which is why I rebooked this year. A new event center is just downhill from the VRBO and the music is beyond loud until 3:00 am! Good thing it only happened the first two nights! Other than that the place is great, walking distance to everything!

- Sharon C , Posted: 06/01/2024

Julie's place was perfect! We'll be back!

- Krista B , Posted: 01/23/2024

What an awesome location in Cruz Bay. We really enjoyed our time here. Easy walking distance to everything. Grab a cab to the beaches or just walk a minute to the dolphin market or to the restaurants for a bite to eat. ❤️

- Elizabeth F , Posted: 07/19/2024

This property was sooooo amazing, I'm hesitant to say a word so the secret doesn't get out! One of the best AirBnBs I've stayed in. The view here is far better than what you'll get at the popular Grande Bay Resort and honestly took my breath away. Julie was very responsive when I had questions and gave adequate directions on how to get to the property and access the studio.

- Kim D , Posted: 11/06/2024

Great Space
This was my 5th rental on STJ and my favorite yet. The layout was spacious and well-outfitted The location was very easy and the noise was not egregious, but as expected for Cruz Bay.

- Marissa B , Posted: 11/13/2024

It was a great place in a fantastic location. Market, bars restaurants minutes away. Nice balcony for an evening nightcap.

- Tom B , Posted: 12/04/2024

Thank you so much we had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed Cayo Sereno !!
