St. John, US Virgin Islands- 2 Bedroom w/ AWD Vehicle, Pool, & AC above Cruz Bay

We needed a stay for one extra night before our departure. I booked this stay and received a message from the owner that it was an error and they don’t do one night rentals. However, he then said they could accommodate us (2 couples, 2 kids). I received a message after the stay requesting a 5 star review and to directly contact them with any concerns, but this stay was so bad that I feel mislead by their 9.7 star rating. The condo was SO uncomfortably hot. The two bedroom AC plug in floor units were insufficient to cool it to anything resembling comfortable. My husband killed one cockroach inside despite always having the doors and screens shut, so even though it’s on the top floor there’s a definite sealing issue. The beds felt very cheap and uncomfortable, and I had to sleep on a towel because the pillow had visible mold and had a strong odor of mildew. The “pull out couch sleeper” is very misleading…they were small and the most uncomfortable surface. The showers looked dirty, and I found a toe nail clipping next to the bed. It felt like one step above camping, which was very disappointing for a 650 fee and 9.7 rating. Fair warning: we’ve stayed at many properties on the island and will never return to this rental or complex.

The property is beautiful. However, I don’t think it’s quite large enough to accommodate 8 adults. The futons are quite small. I think it’s a great spot for a family. My friends and I were getting noise complaints before 11pm almost every night. One of the neighbors who live in the same complex threatened to call the police? I’ve stayed on Saint John many times, In many different locations and I’ve never received one noise complaint. So if you’re a group of adults, and anticipate getting rowdy, this probably isn’t the place for you. We also had brought a lot of food down to the pool area to grill but not one of the 4 grills down there were working and the pool light is broken. Aside from that, the space is beautiful, the jeep is an excellent perk and the hosts are kind enough to pick you up and drop you off to the ferry in Cruz Bay. The hosts were very responsive and gave us grace on our “noise” complaints, which I appreciated also.

This was a great and convenient location on St. John. The house was stocked with everything we needed for a great day on the beach. It made everything so simple and fun — the Jeep was a fabulous bonus. Our kids loved the spiral staircase, the deep swimming pool, and the view from the deck. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Palmy Daze so much! It was a lovely condo for just the two of us but the loft and couch would have worked out fine if our kids wanted to join us. The view from the deck was glorious and the we miss the warm trade winds blowing through the palm tree right off the deck. The jeep was super convenient plus! The driveway was initially a bit scary but we got used to it after a day. Trevor was very helpful picking us up and dropping us off from the ferry. What a wonderful stay. We will be back!

Our stay started out super convenient as the property manager Trevor picked us up right away at the ferry and took us to our condo earlier than check in time. He gave us a great overview of the island and things we would need. This place came with a jeep which was such an added bonus. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. It also had a sun shade which we desperately needed every day at the beach. Had chairs and coolers and floats too. Any questions I had the property managers responded immediately. They also were helpful in helping us plan our return ferry back to st Thomas airport.
