We just left St. John after staying in the Honeymoon Suite at Island Abodes. The Honeymoon suite was compact but perfect for just the two of us. The screened porch and attached deck provided an excellent view of Cruz Bay and a perfect place to watch the sunset. The efficiency kitchen (small refrigerator, toaster oven and microwave) allowed us to eat breakfast before heading to the beach. We ate on the deck one evening after ordering take out from Sam & Jack's. The room was clean and clearly had been updated since the storms. There was some construction noise but that is common throughout the island and by evening was gone. Self check-in/out was easy and Brittany even allowed us to check in early since no one was in the suite before us. We will definitely consider booking again.read more

We had the pleasure of staying at both the Down Yonder Pool villa and the Honeymoon Suite during our visit. The Down Yonder Pool villa is perfectly equipped with necessities for cooking a meal, down to the the luxury of having beach chairs, sunscreen and bug spray. It was also nice having Keurig coffee pods provided for coffee every morning. The villa was spotless and Brittany responded within 15 minutes every time I had a question about anything on island. The Honeymoon Suite is budget friendly and chic! We loved the screened in porch and the sunset at both places were to die for. We had the luxury of getting to spend some time with Brittany, Robert and RJ at a birthday party at the Penthouse and that unit had just been completely renovated and it was absolutely stunning down to the furnishings and all. Their family is so sweet and all their friends made us feel welcome at a party that was just for their friends/family but they choose to include us since we were staying right next door! Thank you and Merry Christmas! 🎄 🌴read more

Brittany, Robert and RJ, this was our third stay in your beautiful villas. I simply cannot express how happy we are each and every stay. We have choices on what type of villa we rent. Hands down you guys are the best. You are so quick to respond to any question or request. Renting thru a Management Companies you sometimes do not get the same type of quick response. Additionally, everything in the villa is in top working condition. The bedroom AC rocks! Your villas provide us with the comforts of home. Comfy beds and sheets are important to me and yours were amazing. Your villas are always spotless. The welcome basket and beers are such a treat. The views are awesome from Down Yonder. My cousin and I were enjoying star watching. Thanks Robert for removing the solar light so we could enjoy the start gazing even more.read more

We stayed at the garden suite and loved it! It’s so cute and private, very easy to get to but you do need a car. Loved the large deck and outdoor space. Brittany and Robert are fabulous hosts that do everything to make sure you have a wonderful stay. Very gracious hosts and RJ will steal your heart! We will definitely return!read more

We stayed in Down Yonder Pool Villa in July 2018. It was our second stay at Down Yonder (1st stay was February 2017), and we loved it again! The house could not be better for either couples traveling together or a family. The first time we visited with another couple. This time we brought our 2 kids with us. Having the large great room and kitchen that open up directly out on to the pool deck and patio is a perfect set up! The kids literally ran from the great room to a cannonball into the pool as soon as we arrived! The bedrooms are both large and comfortable (the AC works REALLY well in the bedrooms and the great room), both bathrooms are large, there is a full size washer dryer, the kitchen is MORE than completely equipped, and there are plenty of beach accessories to borrow. They even stock plenty of beach towels and tons of sunscreen and bug spray for guests to use. They have really thought of everything! We loved hanging out on the patio watching the view of the water, and the kids were really happy with the Roku streaming TV (we visited during the World Cup and they didn’t want to miss a game). The location is really convenient to town and there is plenty of parking and turn around space on an easy, flat driveway. There are no stairs to enter the villa or get out to the pool. Just the easiest, most fun place to stay. Couldn’t recommend it more! Thank you Island Abodes- Brittany, Robert, and RJ!read more

This was my first visit to St John. I was lucky enough to experience 3 of Island Abodes newly renovated suites. Honeymoon suite was awesome. I had a view of water and beautiful gardens.....even from the shower! I couldn't believe when I walked in, there was a welcome note from Brittany and Robert along with coffee for the Keurig, sunscreen, mosquito spray, umbrellas,a cooler, chairs and towels for the beach and a gallon of water to get started. The king bed was so comfy. A nice kitchen with everything you could need including a microwave and toaster oven. You could sit outside on the screened in porch or lounge on the beautiful deck. I also stayed in the Papaya suite which was under the Honeymoon suite in Sunset Serenade. It had all the amenities as Honeymoon even the awesome view from the shower. It also had a cute bar on the screened in porch to eat or drink your coffee while viewing the beautiful water and gardens. The last 3 nights I stayed in Down Yonder Villa. It was a fantastic 2 bedroom 2 bath home with a great kitchen and large den with a sofa sleeper. From all areas you had a view of the ocean, beautiful gardens and a great salt water pool. Again the house had all the previously mentioned amenities. All places were close to town, eating, and shopping. They all had TV, WiFi, and washer/dryer. I visited 3 different beautiful beaches(my favorite part) recommended by Brittany and Robert. The water and beaches were so much prettier than Florida. I can't wait to go back and visit 3 more! I wish I was there today!! Thanks Brittany, Robert and RJ for a wonderful, very needed, vacation....M Anthonyread more

My wife and I stayed at Island Abodes' Honeymoon Suite last August and again just last week. The location is incredible with stunning views overlooking Cruz Bay, especially at sunset. The personal touches Robert and Brittany add to their properties make all the difference, not to mention they are wonderful people and so easy to deal with. If you are looking for location, convenience and coziness at an economical price, then one of their suites will be sure to please. We will be staying again with Island Abodes.read more

We absolutely loved our stay at Down Yonder! We stayed post hurricane Irma and Maria. My husband, 2.5 year old and myself were traveling and looking for something family friendly. We have stayed in rentals before with a child and this was by far the best experience! Brittany and Robert thought of everything! The home was baby proofed in the master bed, they left changing table, pregnancy pillow, baby toys, pack and play with extra mattress, baby towels, baby dinnerware, high chair...literally everything you use at home and would have needed was there! It was so thoughtful and thought out!! The home itself was also great for kids, didn’t have to worry about steps or dangerous corners. The pool was a must for us for evenings of staying home, being able to walk right out to the pool was great, the doors going out to the pool were heavy enough too that we didn’t have to worry about our daughter getting out!! That was such a comforting feeling!! My aunt and uncle live on island and had stayed a couple nights with us too. The space was perfect for our family and my aunt and uncle. All kitchen supplies you could need they had, even the condiments you always hate buying because you feel like you waste we’re already there!! Aside from the house there were beach toys, beach chairs, towels, umbrellas and coolers. Bug spray and sunscreen provided too!! The location was perfect! Close to town and easy access to the other side of the island. Literally anything you needed or could want was there! Brittany and Robert literally thought of everything!! Most house experiences we have stayed at were mediocre and had the bare minimum, this home and the hosts exceeded our expectations. While we didn’t need Brittany or Robert for anything during our stay they checked up on us via email a couple times to see if we needed anything. I’d recommend this home and these hosts a 1,000 over!! Thanks for such a wonderful experience!!read more

Brittany, Robert and RJ were great hosts! We stayed at the Garden Suite and were one of the first post hurricane guests; it was located close to Cruz Bay and had a beautiful view of chocolate hole; many lazy hours spent on the deck watching the iguana in the tree and taking in the island sounds under the ceiling fans; it has all of the essentials with the kitchen and living quarters; I would recommend a Jeep to explore the National Park, beaches, and towns of Cruz bay and coral Bay; highly recommend island abodes!read more

Just returned from a week at Down Yonder Pool Villa in March 2018 (post hurricane) and we can not wait for our next trip. We have rented many homes on our travels, on St John and other places, and this home was by far our favorite. We are a family of 4 with two kids aged 10 and 12 and this home’s layout was perfect for us. (We could have easily slept two more on the fold out sofa. ) This home is so well taken care of- clean and everything in good working order. You can tell it is managed by the home’s owners, not just a rental company. Every little touch was thought of. We loved the location- a stunning view, close enough to town, but just far enough away to be peaceful It does sit back from a road, but we did not find the road noise to be anything to note, just a car here and there. There are other homes nearby, but we felt like it was very private! On to the particulars…… Post Hurricane: We were unsure what to expect, but the island is ready for visitors. The beaches are still stunning, the trails are ready for hikers, and most stores and restaurants are open. (Not all, but plenty are!) The devastation to homes and parts of the island is heart wrenching, but every visitor helps the economy of the island- so go now!! Kitchen: I cook, and am typically disappointed with rentals because of lack of cooking supplies. Nothing worse than trying to make scrambled eggs in a old yucky pan.. This kitchen is equipped! Great blender, gas stove, a sharp knife, a nice selection of good pans, a crock pot, and a gas grill. Stocked with salt, pepper and olive oil. A keurig coffee machine with coffee, decaf, and green tea. (And a regular coffee pot in the cabinet) And of course, the kitchen has a great view! Bedrooms: Both king beds were super comfy and the air conditioning worked great. Cotton sheets (I am picky about this…) Plenty of closet and drawer space in each. Bathrooms: Both stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and bath gel. Sunscreen and bug spray provided. Lots of bath towels in each. The second bath has a full sized washer and dryer with detergent. The master shower has a big frosted window which you can slide open giving it an outdoor shower feel that we loved! Beach Stuff: I think I counted 8 big fluffy beach towels, light portable beach chairs, a beach umbrella, sand toys and two coolers We were set! Pool and patio area: The pool is clean and well maintained. Chaise loungers for sunning, a dining table and that big shaded circle chair… heaven. Landscape: The owners have put a lot of time and effort in to this. Even post hurricane, the landscaping is stunning. Wifi/TV: Worked great while we were there. Were able to find our team’s march madness game on sling tv Our verizon cell phones worked great at the house. Book keeping: I booked and paid on the Island Abodes website. Everything was smooth and easy and communication was excellent! Brittany emailed us a nice welcome packet with all the info we could need. Having been to the island before, the self check in process worked great for us. If you would feel more comfortable with an escort to the house from the ferry, you might mention that ahead of time. I honestly cannot think of a con for this house. (except that they wouldn’t let us just stay forever!) Many thanks to Brittany, Robert and RJ for their hospitality!read more

This was the perfect spot. Great for one or two people. Everything was really nicely done and clean. The pictures are very accurate. I loved having a king sized bed. The indoor living area was just enough and the outdoor area was spectacular! It is surrounded by lovely gardens and is very peaceful. With the ceiling fans outside and a breeze, I was able to comfortably sit out there in the middle of the day and read or work on my computer. I will definitely be a regular to the Garden Suite for future trips to St. John. Thank you so much to my hosts, Brittany, Robert, and Paige who were so easy to work with.read more

We stayed at the Penthouse at Sunrise Serenade the week of 6/3-6/10. This was our first experience renting a villa/condo that was not part of a complex or resort. From the first inquiry, until we left yesterday, the communications with Island Abodes were outstanding, including a multi-page document that spells out everything. I was immediately reassured and comfortable. Brittany and Paige both responded very quickly to any random questions I may have had about the property or St. John in general. When we arrived at the Penthouse after following the excellent instructions, we were thrilled. It looks exactly the same in person as in the pictures, which is to say, it is spacious, clean, and has an unbelievable panoramic view. The tiled covered porch (much too large to be called a balcony) that extends to the deck, is where we spent most of our waking hours at the villa. Looking over Cruz Bay and over to St Thomas and the other islands never gets old. So many things are provided, such as great beach chairs (Coleman in bags with shoulder straps, just like the chairs we used at soccer games, but sand chair level), a cooler, noodles, k-cups for the Keurig, toiletries, sunscreen, etc, that it made it easy to get established and going. Other thoughtful touches were a couple of local beers in the fridge and a welcome basket with snacks. The shower was wonderful, and you even had a view from there! AC in the bedroom was perfect, and having a washer and dryer available was very helpful. My husband loved it and said if just he and I returned, there is no where else he would want to stay. Even as we were on the ferry back to Red Hook, we could still spot 'our' penthouse high on the hill. If we return with our grown kids and need more space, we already looked at another Island Abodes property that has more room. Highly recommend!read more

Thank you for a wonderful stay on St John! We are frequent visitors to St John and usually visit with several other people. In February we had the opportunity to visit with just the two of us. Small (and less expensive), intimate and private accommodations are hard to find on island. We stayed at the Garden Suite. It was amazing. It is small and intimate yet had everything we needed (and wanted). It was close to town and the main road yet the vegetation made you feel like you were all alone surrounded by rustling leaves, birds and a gentle breeze. The patio was huge, had a chair for every mood and dining (and cooking) among the trees. Brittany was available and helpful when needed yet not intrusive. Next time we are on island as a couple we will look to stay at the Garden Suite!read more

We appreciated the big rooms, the cavernous great room with kitchen and living room space. Enjoyed the pool and deck and the views outside. It is far enough from town that it's private and quiet and yet close enough to town we can hop in the car and go to the store in a 10 min drive. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.read more

Robert and Brittany were very communicative and quick to reply both prior to arriving in St. John and during our stay.

From the breathtaking views off the back porch of the Honeymoon Suite and well maintained garden on the property, to the sampling of local beers stocked in the fridge on arrival, Brittany and Robert were very accommodating and helped to give us a truly memorable experience. I had mentioned at booking that I was planning to propose to my girlfriend on this trip and Brittany was available to answer any questions and offer helpful tips and advice along the way and always responded quickly to any questions I had. It is safe to say although this was my first trip it will certainly not be my last and we will definitely book with Island Abodes for our next St. John adventure.read more

We just returned from a long wedding weekend in St. John and consider ourselves lucky for finding the Honeymoon Suite at Sunset Serenade! We met both Brittany and Robert, the owners and managers, who were so kind and helpful. They have taken diligent care of the property, and Robert was there several times on the property tending to the landscaping. The photos don't do the place justice! The views from the deck were some of the best we found on the island and we found ourselves rushing to get back to the room by 6:15 for the sunset. I think the deck may be actually larger than the bedroom, a ratio which may be most important for finding a place to stay in the islands :) The place was spotless, the bed incredibly comfortable, and we had everything we needed and then some. Thank you Brittany and Robert, and we cannot WAIT to return again someday!read more

The property was very clean and exactly what we needed for our vacation. The best part of staying with Island Abodes is the owners are amazing and super accommodating and will go out of there way to make sure you have a great vacation. If it is your first time on the island, they will answer any questions you may have and prep you on what to expect once you arrive to the island.

Brittany and Robert have a wonderful property on St. John. Stayed in the two bedroom house with the pool and it was beautiful. Loved the pool as we used it every day during our 9 day stay nice to have a grill for cooking some meals in. We were close to town, gas and groceries which made for a great combination. Thank you so much for an amazing stay.read more

Robert and Brittany ROCK big time! The time we spent in their 1 bedrm apt was wonderful, and their flexibility with schedules made our stay very memorable and easy. We will most definitely stay there again next time. St. John is our most favorite vacation spot, and this place just made our experience better than ever. Thanks so much!read more

We had the pleasure of staying at the Down Yonder Villa on our last trip to STJ. What a gem! Our group consisted of 2 families of 4 (4 children 3 and under) and the house was perfect. We loved that the master suites were on opposite sides of the villa to allow for plenty of privacy. We spent most of our time swimming in the beautiful pool. The view was awesome. We cooked at the villa for nearly every meal and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Robert and Brittany were fantastic hosts and promptly responded to any questions or requests we had. Can't wait to go back again soon!!!read more

My husband and I stayed in the 1 bedroom unit at Sunset Serenade last week. It was wonderful. Very clean, a comfy bed and had all the accommodations of home. We loved the beautiful view of Cruz Bay. Brittany and Robert were WONDERFUL hosts. While we were on the island we kept hearing horror stories from people we met about their accommodations from the places they were staying at. We kept telling them to visit the Island Abode website for their future visits. No complaints and WE WILL BE BACK.read more

In March my cousin and I took a girls trip with our kids for over a week to St. John. Our accommodations were amazing! Let me elaborate why. First of all the setting is gorgeous! Blue tranquil waters to cast your eyes at from any angle of Island Abodes. One step out onto the deck and you are in paradise. Flowers blooming, breezes blowing, roosters faintly heard in the distance and sailboats seen for miles. The units are nicely decorated and clean. Each have precision privacy so that no views are obscured, yet you aren't looking at other guests. The owners Brittany and Robert were so kind as to make sure we had everything we needed. Brittany checked us in, but later Robert came by to water plants outside and even left us some fresh papaya from his tree. When I mentioned that Thai green papaya salad would be amazing with fish. he immediately cut us another down. He offered us fresh herbs to use in our cooking and asked if we needed anything additional. We mentioned we could use a garlic press and blender half jokingly, and later that day he delivered not only those items, but several other specialty cooking items. The kitchens are stocked nicely!! My cousin is a professional chef and we were able to cook every dish with ease. The kids loved the indoor/outdoor floor plan. We spent most days at the beach and evenings on the patio. Brittany helped us book excursions while on the island and as a result we had an amazing time. On a side note, we had our best day on Honeymoon Beach kayaking, paddle-boarding, and playing on the beach. The beach hut smoothies are super yummy and staff charming. (I can't say the same for the staff at Caneel...) If you are considering a visit to St John, be sure to inquire about Island Abodes availability. We will definitely be back!!!!read more

Why stay anywhere else on St. John? Brittany and Robert accommodated a large group, putting us in one of the bigger rentals. Breathtaking ocean views, spotless and airy rooms, and a fully equipped kitchen for us to use. Open the doors at night, and the breeze and sounds of the island lull you to sleep. It felt very private, it's truly paradise. I got a tour of some of the other rentals, they are all super clean and have an island feel. Brittany and Robert were so helpful in giving us tips on where to eat, and what to do while we were there. Can't wait to go back!read more
