Wonderful place to stay!
We had an amazing time staying at “Be As You Are.” The location was perfect. Close to the grocery store and restaurants. The kitchen was fully stocked and had more than we were expecting. The beds were so comfortable and the rooms were set up perfectly. The villa definitely made our trip perfect!

Great stay, they aren’t lying about the hill
10/10 stay, perfect distance from the night life of Cruz Bay. They aren’t lying about the hill! My group ranged from 23-25 and we still had some trouble some nights. The property managers were great and got me contact information to a local taxi service which was $6 each to get us from Cruz Bay to the VRBO, can’t argue with that. All in all, a great stay and would 100% do it again!

Be As You Are Villa was Amazing
We had another fantastic stay on St. John, this time bringing a few friends who were visiting for the first time. We chose this property because of its convenient, walkable location to Cruz Bay, making it easy to enjoy dinner, drinks, and shopping without the need to worry about parking. The house itself was beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. The pool was a big hit with the kids, and the four bedrooms provided more than enough space for our group of seven. The host was very helpful, and the check-in process and communication were seamless. We would definitely stay here again! Also, this property had two washers and two dryers (not shared with other units) that came in super handy for towels and clothes.

Beautiful Property with Top Notch Care
Seven of us stayed at the property for a 40th birthday trip. The unit was gorgeous and a great size. The location was close to downtown Cruz Bay and had a beautiful pool perfect for watching sunsets. The hosts also went above and beyond to make it a perfect stay!

Such a fun stay!
This villa had everything we could need for 6 adults and 2 kids (ages 3 & 4). Updated and clean. The pool was great and right down the steps of our front door. View was amazing. And we love the location. The hill was too steep for the kids to walk to town , but the adults could walk down. We always got a taxi back up :) the property managers were great and so easy to communicate with. We will stay here again!

Late Jan ‘24 vacay
Our family and guests really enjoyed the villa and its location in Cruz Bay. Close to restaurants and shops and fun to navigate the hills. Check-in was efficient and all in our party loved the unit. Each had rooms and plenty of space to feel comfortable. Great ocean and sunset views. We would love to come back! Thank you to the owners and property managers.

Great property and experience.... the hill it is on was very difficult to manage walking and driving for some of us less-than-fit seniors. Not for the faint of heart. Otherwise a great place.... nice quiet neighborhood the week we were there.

Everything you need
From the moment we booked they were responsive. Prior to us departing for vacation Kelly connected with us and offered to book our ferry (which we already did but wow if I knew) the Villa literally has everything you need. Honestly everything was perfect. The only downfall for some of our family was the the hill. It’s steep and if you’re not in shape it’s a lot but didn’t both us too much. Would definitely book here again!

Excellent villa
This villa has EVERYTHING you need! From beach chairs, coolers, beach towels, toys, umbrella. We didn’t need a thing. We actually brought entirely too much because we’ve never stayed in a VRBO that had all the amenities as home. Property was very clean, with comfy beds, 2 washers and dryers (reason we shouldn’t of brought so much), stocked kitchen with everything you need including spices. The ONLY negative thing I could say was the hill is atrocious!!!! I’ve never seen anything like it…. But EVERY location is on steep hills. You won’t be disappointed!

A week in paradise!
From the moment you wake up, this property gives you every feeling of paradise. The gorgeous views of the island from every window combined with the beautiful decor and comfortable furniture of the house was absolutely amazing. We went for our sisters wedding, and 9 adults stayed so comfortably in this home. There were plenty of towels, blankets, toiletries, and anything you would need to make your stay comfortable. The beautiful deck overlooking the bay and the pool had us relaxing no matter what we were doing. The location of this home was perfect! We were less than a 10 minute walk from downtown Cruz Bay, which meant that we never had to worry about parking. We were also a very short drive (or a longer walk) from the grocery store, which was so convenient! Additionally, I can't say enough kind things about Shelli, the property owner, and Kelly, the property manager. When needed, they were both so responsive and helpful. Shelli specifically worked with us to ensure we would have a successful visit, even during the craziness of Covid-19. She kept us up to date on the travel restrictions as they were developing, ensuring we could travel without any problems. I would recommend this property to anyone, and if I travel with a large group again, I will absolutely look to stay here. Thank you for making the trip of a lifetime that much better!

Beautiful Home
This villa is located in a great location. Close to restaurants and shopping. Checking in was easy but we never got the code to open the door and when we finally got in touch with the property manager, she seemed aggravated and stated she text it to me prior - I felt a bit crazy since she argued with me, so I had my family check our text & emails and it was never sent to me, so we did have a hard time getting in that evening. Other than that - the stay was awesome; property manager was helpful otherwise and it was a gorgeous view.

Be As You Are Villa was perfect for our family getaway.❤️
We had 3 generations staying at this Villa. The accommodations were wonderful as well as the help. Kim met us at the ferry and helped with our luggage. All questions were handled in a prompt manner. Coffee on the terrace was gorgeous and it also was a perfect view to watch the kids swim in the pool. I would certainly suggest a jeep because that hill was intense. Great daily cardio for those that can do it! Lots to do right in Cruz Bay. The island was super friendly. Looking forward to staying again in the future. Thanks again for the memories!!!❤️🌴☀️

WE as We Were!!!
This house was amazing. It was fully equipped with everything by abundance. The location was awesome. The Hill was major but we figured out several other ways to get to Cruz Bay that were not near as bad as "The Hill" to downtown. All our neighbors were so nice too. Ricky the driver that Kelly recommended was great. We ordered from Starfish Mkt before arriving and had our online order delivered prior to arrival and that worked out great as well. Hope to return to this Villa to Be As You Are!!

Christmas is St John
Very nice property, well maintained, walkable to downtown Cruz Bay restaurants. Property manager was very helpful. There was no hot water at the property on the first day… Kelly was able to get a plumber out to replace hot water heater, days before Christmas, to rectify the issue. My low rating for location is driven by the fact that this property sits on top of an extremely steep hill (4 wheel drive vehicle at a stop slides on the hill). I have never seen anything like this in my life. All roads in St John are hilly… but this one takes first prize. Parking is an absolute hazard. I gave up trying to park in the space provided and opted to parallel park next to an abandoned vehicle adjacent to the property for the week.

Perfect girls trip
My group of friends stayed here for a delayed college graduation trip! We were greeted by Hannah who gave us some great restaurant/beach recommendations. The owners provided everything we could possibly need—plenty of towels, beach chairs, coolers, speakers, toiletries, blow dryers, hangers, etc. Beds were comfy and there was plenty of space to hang out for our group of 10. The view from the porch is stunning and it’s a short walk to town. The hill is steep but doable! We loved Sellie, our driver, who was also recommended by owners. There were a few minor issues with electricity/plumbing and Kelly was helpful with. We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend to anyone!
