Southern star Villa, chocolate hole, St. John
We absolutely loved our stay at Southern star Villa located at Chocolate Hole in St. John. We were a group of five adults and there was plenty of room for everyone to comfortably stay. The unit was beautiful and very well stocked. The property manager was extremely responsive and very quickly answered all of our texts and questions and provided helpful information About the rolling blackouts that are happening right now in St. John. We can highly recommend a stay at Southern star!

Graduation celebration trip
We were a group of Mom’s and sons celebrating high school graduation. We were happy to have Southern Star as our home base the 5 days we spent on the island. The hosts were always available and helpful from booking to check out. Wonderful experience!

Don’t miss visiting St. John!
The villa was perfect for our party of six. Nice view, comfortable furnishings (including the beds) and enjoyed the local wildlife (deer, chickens, geckos and iguanas). The location does not accommodate walking to downtown Cruz Bay and with limited parking downtown, we used local taxis. The location of the villa is quiet and great for relaxing. Four in our party were over 70 but were able to navigate the stairs for the two upstairs bedrooms. The rental team was very responsive to our questions/requests.

Wonderful Oasis
Had a lovely time with friends in this beautiful property. Was an excellent place to escape the world and disconnect for a bit. Wonderful hosts who were available and communicated throughout our whole stay.

nicely appointed inside - as long as you don't go out on the porch or for a walk around the property
No pool. There's a small beach, but it was usually crowded with small boats, THE SMELL! We were unable to have our morning coffee on the porch(es) because of the stink that smelled like a toilet had over flowed. Even when we went out for dinner, the stench would still be there when we got back. Owner was pleasant. Road needs paving. I'd not stay here again.
