We really liked the house. It was set up well with the master on the main and bedrooms on the lower level. There were two balconies and we spent a lot of time outside in the breeze. The view was great. Our only disappoint was after we got home and our insurance was dinged for repairs to the refrigerator meat drawer. The drawer cover did not stay on as the clip on the right was broken. I would suggest looking over the property carefully at check in and signing up for the insurance.

My husband, kids and I had a fantastic stay. Mark was incredibly helpful with providing us recommendations and ensuring we had everything that we needed. The place sits up on a mountain so the views were spectacular & there was a constant breeze. The space inside the house was perfect with 3 teenagers. The local restaurants/beeches and grocery stores were only a few mins away. We will certainly stay there again.

As other reviewers have noted, Mark was an excellent host and Flanders Villa a beautiful property. Plenty of space for everyone, gorgeous views etc etc. Things about the villa that we will miss the most: -constant amazing breeze. We were there during the “hot“ season and other than noticing it during our hikes, did not bother us at all. Air-conditioned bedrooms in the villa get cold very easily/quickly and keeping sliders and windows open in the main area kept it breezy and comfortable. -gorgeous views, pics describe it perfectly. -all the wildlife! Goat family arrived nightly just below our balconies every evening, most adorable sounds come out of these funny little creatures. Iguanas roam freely and sunbathe in the treetops. Anoles skitter over everything, heaven for this nature loving family. Pearly eyed thrushers (had to Google this friendly bird) rarely left our vicinity when we sat outside. -outdoor showers were a delight, my boring indoor shower at home saddens me now. -pool was small but perfectly relaxing after a day at the beach. House had everything we needed and Mark was quick to answer the one or two small issues/questions we encountered. If I had to come up with a gripe, I might ask for one of the bathrooms to have stronger lighting if you are obsessive like I am and want to look closely for blemishes before you go out or feel a chin hair you need to pluck but your 44 year old close-up eyesight is starting to fail you. If we can afford to return soon, I will bring a lighted make up mirror and leave it under one of the bathroom sinks ;-) One other thing to note, we chose to stay in Coral Bay over Cruz since our vacation priorities are more around uncrowded beaches and hiking/nature than shopping and restaurants but if you fall in the latter camp, might want to park yourself in Cruz instead. There are still a decent handful of good restaurants in Coral Bay for sure but as we had read ahead of our stay, “island time” is definitely a thing and there were meals where we had one restaurant in mind and ended up having to do not a second but a third choice and once even a fourth lol because of unexpected closings, missed food deliveries or short staffing. It happens and we roll with it but maybeworth noting. Lastly we brought two suitcases full of food and did not regret, things like pasta crackers peanut butter tuna… Definitely saved a lot of money there as even something like a bag of Doritos costs about seven dollars at the markets.

We spent a wonderful 2 weeks at this property and had a fantastic trip. The pool is an amazing option, in addition to the world class beaches. We traveled with young children and would echo the other reviewers that plastic gate locks are helpful. Mark was beyond helpful and proactive. We more than enjoyed our stay!

This was our first time in St John and this house was perfect for our family. Having separate bedrooms each with a bathroom and air conditioner was a plus. The views here are spectacular!

Well equipped kitchen with everything you need. Spacious rooms with balconies overlooking Coral Bay with an excellent breeze. Mark stayed in touch with us, met us, and took us right to the house. A great time was had by all.

The property was perfect for traveling couples. Gorgeous open kitchen / living area to hang out - not to mention beautiful patios and pool. Bedrooms were very private - like we all had our own villa.

Great property with stunning views of Coral Bay! Works well for a bigger family. Mark is a gracious and accommodating host. He went above and beyond to ensure a great stay. Nothing beats the sunrise here. Very clean, everything you need for beach and pool.

Great

This is the perfect villa for 3 couples. We each had our own room, with killer views, with en suite bathroom. The beds were super comfy. The pool and large pool deck were perfect for hanging out after our mornings at the beach. Nothing like floating while overlooking coral bay. The great room had everything we needed for meals and hanging out together. Easy parking for 2 Jeeps with just a little jockeying to turn around. we loved the location with just a short drive down the hill to Salty Mongoose, Dolphin Market etc. If we had anything to complain about it would be the lighting-seemed a bit dark inside. It certainly wouldn’t stop up from staying here again though!
