Absolutely Beautiful! From the moment we walked in the front door until the day we left. The house is updated and very roomy. If I could I would move right in. Marble kitchen , stone and marble spacious bathrooms with full amenities. It was like a fairytale to wake up with such a view out the back two balconies , sipping on coffee while laying in the hammock or simple sitting in there oversized chairs. We were a 16 minute drive to the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. Restaurants are also about a 10 minute drive , we grilled out one night , played monopoly, sipped on wine , drank some local beer as we sat surrounded by a beautiful garden , such serenity. It's perfect for a work retreat or a family get together as the area is spacious enough to give people privacy if needed. #Stjohnvillaman..The gardens and house are by far a step up from the Westin Villas where we stayed last time. The pictures don't do justice , this Sweet Home is Gorgeous-Can't wait to return !

This place was exactly what we wanted. Beautiful, spacious, and views everywhere! The host was very responsive and gave us local recommendations that were spot on. Our group of ten had plenty of space and everything we could possibly need for our week there. We will never forget this island, this trip, or this home!

All I can say about Alexi's home is wow. This is one of the best Airbnb's and experiences I have ever had. I was there with my 8 best friend's for my bachelorette party and everything was perfect. The house is 100x's more beautiful and special than the photos. Each room has an en-suite bathroom. There is a gym, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need - down to gorgeous plate ware. The fixtures, furnishings, bathroom products, towels, and beds are all top notch. And the view! Walking out onto the deck every morning was pure heaven. The house is super secure, private and very very spacious. The pool is small - but perfect for just floating around. The beach area is very charming - we didn't go in the water because of sea urchins and rocks - but it was stunning to look at and walk to. And the villa is close to town - which made everything convenient.
And Alexis made the whole weekend special for me by making sure the house was perfect for a bachelorette celebration. Her house manager Tanji was also phenomenal - so helpful and kind. I was I was still at Seagate villa right now!

My husband and I stayed here in June 2022. The home is beautiful and the view is spectacular! The location is very convenient to grocery stores and restaurants. We had a wonderful time and would definitely rent again!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property. The location is very close to Cruz Bay and only a few simple minutes away from the car ferry dock. The home is open, airy, and inviting. The two tables for dining and massive living room are the perfect setting for your family gathering. If traveling with a group of couples each room has its own full bath and comfortable beds, one of the rooms also features an outdoor shower which is a great touch in this island setting. The modern touches, perfect views, pool, and private pathway down to the beach are all reasons that we will return to this home in the future.

This house is INCREDIBLE! Everything from the beautiful interior, beyond comfortable beds, outdoor shower, cleanliness, stunning view, pool and beach access, grill, workout room, close proximity to Cruz Bay, quiet neighborhood, to the great communication with the host, the beauty and value of this house cannot be beat. Thank you for an amazing stay, we can't wait to come back!

This home is so beautiful. It has amazing views and access to a small rocky beach that my boys loved going down to and looking at the rocks. The kitchen is spacious and had all of the amenities needed in order to cook a real meal. We have been avoiding booking airbnbs lately because they are so expensive and there is so much you need to do in order to check out when you leave. The check out process here was so easy and we felt very calm on our last day. We had a very magical vacation.

Thank you so much! We really enjoyed having your family here with us. We try not to make leaving any harder than it already is. The house was very clean when you let and I am glad you guys enjoyed the villa. I hope the boys enjoyed paddleboarding without needing to leave the villa. Its so great being right on the ocean! See you again soon!

Our stay was incredible — the home is beautiful and comfortable, the views are gorgeous, proximity to town is great (driving not walking), the pool and bay/beach access were perfect — especially with young kids, and property managers were responsive and super helpful. Highly, highly recommend!

This place was beautiful! Looks better than the pictures. Fantastic view of the water. We had a party of 8 and everyone had their own space. Lots of water toys and nice pool. Next time we'll rent a car. Alexis was great about answering any questions. Wonderful memories were made. Best Airbnb yet !!!!

Thank you! Hopefully, we will see you again back on St John in the future.

Villa is gorgeous, clean and pristine. Tatiana was pleasant and informative. She met us at the dock and we followed her to the villa. We found a complimentary bottle of wine and charcuterie board upon our arrival which was awesome. The Seagate is not easy to find so she sent a pin for us to locate it. Pool was clean and perfect temp. There's a path to the Sea in front of house which we used every day along with the kayak and paddleboard. The house is quite spacious with modern furnishings and lighting. All beds were large and very comfortable. My teen granddaughters loved the bunk room and gym. There is space to congregate as a family and also space for privacy when needed. Kitchen is well stocked with whatever one might need to cook. The fridge stopped working and David was there immediately with a new one. Service is impeccable! Booked massages at the house. Went to different beach every day. Always been my favorite island and now my favorite villa. Will book again!

We had 10 people ages 5-73 for a beautiful week in St. John. The house is large with plenty of space to spread out. The house was as described and we all enjoyed plenty of time in the pool and relaxing on the decks.

This is an amazing home with all the amenities you could ask for! Very comfortable and cozy for a large space. We had five adults and six teens but never felt cramped or crowded. The view is unbeatable and it really is close to everything even though you have plenty of privacy. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. We hope to be back!

Perfect 1st Time USVI Stay
The property is more spacious and remarkable than the rental photos make it look. The outdoor living spaces, pool, 1 outdoor/bathroom shower, extra bedrooms downstairs, fully-stocked kitchen (we like to cook at home), and great communication with the hosts and even greeter upon arrival were all wonderful! Admittedly Chocolate Hole isn't the best swimming/snorkeling location, but that doesn't detract from what we all agreed was a 5-STAR stay. Highly recommend for a large family or group!
- Jonathan R , Posted: 08/10/2023
Seagate + Chocolate Hole = great family vacation!
We visit the USVI frequently, St John is our fav by far! This trip we brought our kids and a couple of significant others for a total of 7 vacationers. Our primary goal was getting myself and my daughter scuba certified...we met that goal. Secondary was to have a restful and relaxing vacation. Seagate on Chocolate Hole met that goal and more. The property is exactly as advertised and professionally managed. Our greeter was flexible and went above and beyond to make us comfortable with the house, property, and St John.
The house was perfect for my family of adult "kids". We weren't on top of one another but we're able to connect when we wanted. Loved the hammock, pool, and path to the water. Snorkeling in the cove is great for turtles, rays, and a variety of reef fish. Previous trips to chocolate hole also included small nurse and reef shark spottings.
Kitchen was well outfitted and the availability of beach chairs and SUP were nice. The driveway is not for the faint of heart to go up backwards, if you have 2 or more vehicles, make sure you allow for turning around one at a time, you can thank me later (completely doable to reverse up the driveway, btw, just need strong nerves �)

We loved our stay and wish we didn't have to leave! And thank you for the cheese tray!

Fun spot!
Great space with plenty of room for everyone!

The home, grounds and view are beautiful - even better than the pictures. It was a real treat to have private access to Chocolate Hole bay for snorkeling, kayaking and paddle-boarding, as well as lounging around their small sandy beach area. Host (David) and greeter (Kelley) were available for every need and question and even gave extra assistance when we had car trouble. The welcome gift in the fridge was a really nice touch. House was spotless. Note that the kids' bedroom opens to the outside, on a different floor than main - this might be tough for parents with very little kids. We would love to some back to this fantastic property again if we can make it back to St. John.
- Mark P , Posted: 07/20/2024
Wonderful experience! The property was exactly as shown/described, had everything we needed and more, and the manager was super-responsive. It was so nice to have the charcuterie board available upon arrival. Book this property—you won't regret it!

My family of six spent a an amazing week at SeaGate Villa. The views were amazing and the house was beautifully decorated. The location was perfect and my youngest daughter loved that she had access to the beach from the house. Also, Alexis responded very quickly to our questions.
- Shelley F , Posted: 08/12/2024
The SeaGate is such a beautiful place to stay in St. John! We were able to follow the greeter to the home, which made it easy to find. The house was IMMACULATELY clean when we arrived. The view from the balcony was breathtaking, and we loved being able to walk down to the water.
Julie was very responsive and answered all of our questions. I appreciated her calling me beforehand so we were prepared for the tropical storm that passed through during our stay. We also learned that having backup power is essential for a trip to St. John during hurricane season. Half the island didn't have power during our time there, but we didn't lose it once thanks to the Tesla backup power.
The only thing I would note is that the room with the bunk beds is ONLY accessible from the outside (there's not access from the main floor, you have to go outside and downstairs.) This would be a cool option for teens but I didn't feel safe with my young kids staying in there alone.
Overall we had a great stay!
- Amanda B , Posted: 08/25/2024
Beautiful place with lots of room and a spectacular view! The owners had someone meet us at the ferry, making it easy to follow and find. Kitchen was stacked with everything we needed. Lots of room to hang out and play games. Owners were very responsive to any issues or questions. Would recommend!
