Amazing property, amazing views, amazing amenities

Everything was perfect at Villa Capiz! The house was filled with everything we needed for a stress-free rental. Beach towels, coolers, beach chairs, even stainless steel cups with lids! The owners were super helpful leading up to the week and throughout. They have contacts for everything! Taxis, boat rentals, jeep rentals… you name it. We will absolutely be back as soon as we can!

Not your typical rental property

Truely special home with a magnificent view. The details of the home were immaculately selected and placed. The outdoor living spaces were perfectly put together. Property management was prompt and very helpful in getting our group settled. Our group was 2 families total of 7 people and the home accompdated us perfectly. St John island is an amazing place. We felt safe traveling freely anywhere on island. The roads were a bit crazy but made it an adventure. We did not feel the roads to town or beaches were walkable so expect to drive most anywhere. The kitchen was very well equipped with anything we needed for cooking or grilling. Home even included beach chairs and coolers for our daily beach trips!Overall we had a wonderful week and thoroughly enjoyed the island and this property. settled. settled. St John

Amazing Home with Amazing Views

We had a great time at this home. We ended up switching locations, then also had to extend our stay due to traveling issues. The property managers and owners were absolutely amazing and accommodating. The house was super clean and in amazing condition. The house has a very cool design and decorations and the view and pool area are amazing. We would definitely stay here again.

Family Get-away

We had a wonderful week at Villa Capiz. The house met all our needs for a week get-away with our three adult children. Great to come back from day excursions exploring the island to jumping in the pool and cooking nice dinners together while enjoying gorgeous sunsets. Beautiful home.

50th birthday

We celebrated my husbands 50th with his sisters and their husbands. The house has an amazing view! The house/living area wasn’t air conditioned but had a breeze with the doors and windows open. Bedrooms were comfortable with a private AC unit. Aaron and Robyn are great with answering any questions. We will definitely be back again!!!

Memorable stay at Villa Capiz

Villa Capiz was just as advertised. The house and grounds are beautiful. The location was perfect...10 minutes from all restaurants and shopping. The beach chairs and coolers were appreciated too. Robyn was flexible to meet us earlier when our travel plans changed and responsive with any questions. We will stay here again on our next visit to St. John. Thank you!

Amazing

What an absolutely perfect place to stay! Not only is the Villa itself gorgeous and functional but the view is beyond stunning. There was an island wide blackout for our first 2 days and the solar panels and Tesla walls kept everything running perfectly, and the property managers were in touch with us the entire time keeping us updated. We didn't even notice because we were out enjoying the island, and when we were at the villa we were just caught up in the stunning view and beautiful pool. We will absolutely be renting Villa Capiz again when we take our next trip to the island!

Incredible Stay in St. John

Breathtaking views from this gorgeous home on St. John. Perfect for a family or several couples, 3 well appointed bedrooms. Cooked breakfast every day in the gourmet kitchen and made use of the pristine grill with a sunset view of St. Thomas to the west. Very large pool for the island plus a hot tub that was great in the evening. Nicely appointed home with landscaping that made it feel like a private oasis. It will be difficult to return to St. John and not stay at Villa Capiz.

Incredible!!

Villa Capiz is far and away exceeded our expectations. The house has everything you need and is better than pictured if that's possible. Endless hours spent outside on the beautiful pool deck with some of the best views I've had while staying on STJ. We will be back!

Million Dollar View

This property is every bit as advertised. This villa delivers great sunset views and views of St Thomas. It's convenient to Cruz Bay and every other beach on this end of the island. The Villa is well stocked with beach chairs, toys, coolers and more to save you the hassle of bringing or buying. A special thanks to Tori and Keelan who are the best hosts on the island! They very kindly had our place fully stocked and saved us a trip to the grocery store so we could arrive and grill the first night in. Thank you!

Hot and humid.

Den and kitchen not air conditioned. I understand that is common in St John but humidity and heat was very uncomfortable most of the time. Power outages occurred during our stay for most of the week. Managers did their best to use backup solar to help. We turned off ac when we were out to conserve. Even with ac on at night could not cool bedroom below 76.

Absolutely beautiful, the hilltop view is breathtaking. Had everything we needed for our day to day living, did not do any cooking, so can’t address that, but many options for dining nearby. An added bonus was the beach chairs, beach towels and coolers, used them daily. You feel isolated because of all the foliage around, but there actually houses all around, not a bad thing because everyone is quiet and respectful. Loved the pool and the many options for outdoor seating, upstairs and downstairs. The only thing that gave us a problem was the area immediately adjacent to the entrance was gravel and difficult to turn vehicles around, but otherwise an awesome property and would not hesitate to stay there again!

Perfection!

I don’t even know where to begin. Villa Capiz is a gorgeous home. The views are breathtaking! I honestly saw the most beautiful sunset of my life one evening. The house has so many beautiful touches. The pool is wonderful. The kitchen is fully stocked. We cooked the entire stay and never lacked any type of utensil, serving bowl, pot, etc. we also used the grill one evening. Lauren and Tori were available for all of our questions. We will definitely be returning to this special place. Thank you for sharing your home.

Fantastic Home!

Although it's been almost 2 months since our St John vacation at Villa Capiz, the villa still shines bright in my mind. Looking out at the vistas from the decks is an experience unmatched on the island. This property is unique and the attention to detail is evident everywhere you turn. The large landscaped yard keeps everything very private and makes it easy to appreciate the tropical island atmosphere. Although we didn't bring our kids on this trip, they will come next time and they'll really enjoy the pool and hot tub. This trip was 2 couples, and there are 2 master bedroom suites, perfect. The third bedroom is on the upper level, as is a third bathroom, and the house can easily accommodate 6 guests. I can't say enough about how beautiful this property is, and how much we enjoyed our time here!

Outstanding Property!

Just returned from a family vacation to St. John and wanted to share our fantastic experience at Villa Capiz. The house istself is spacious and well appointed, and the grounds are amazing. Peter met us at the ferry and took us up to the house and gave us a detailed tour of the property, went over important information about the area, and even gave us some great restaurant recommendations. Peter even connected with us at the end of the week with helpful information about the airport, ferry schedules, etc. Thanks Peter! Lots of great features about the house but the views steal the show, the sunsets are breathtaking! This house is great for families and couples, and makes a great starting point for your daily adventures on St. John. I highly recommend this property, and hope to be back soon.

Villa Capiz.....a True GIFT on Gift Hill

Start to finish, there was NOTHING unpleasant about our stay here ! The owner Debbie was a pleasure to deal with. She was patient with my unpredictable last minute travel plan (changes) and responded quickly and friendly to all my questions and emails. The house manager Nancy was equally pleasant and helpful during our stay. As for the property..... What can I say ? It really is paradise ! The house had everything we needed. The view is absolutely STUNNING ! St.John is one of my favorite places on the planet, and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. It was a much needed vacation and I would not have changed a thing. Thanks Deb for another GREAT vacation memory.

Beautiful Property With Spectacular Views!

Villa Capiz is a wonderful, tropical paradise with incredible views of St. Thomas and the sunsets. Robin/Aaron, our hosts, were outstanding as they communicated with us prior to our arrival and were very helpful from start to finish. Aaron met us at the ferry dock in Cruz Bay, took us to the jeep rental place, took our luggage to the villa and gave us a detailed overview of everything regarding the villa. The villa is extremely nice, has a large, refreshing pool and the kitchen is fully stocked. It is located in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to the restaurants and beaches. The beach chairs, towels and cooler were much appreciated and an added bonus. The only con which prevented this from being a 5 star rating is the two king size beds in the lower rooms. One mattress is okay and fairly comfortable to sleep on, but the other one sags badly in the middle and needs replacing. Our friends could not sleep on it and moved to the smaller room upstairs with a Queen bed after the first night. The birds in the trees are also pretty loud all night, but I put a fan on high by the bed to drown out the noise. Overall, Villa Capiz is a beautiful place which we truly enjoyed, but we would likely not stay there again unless the mattresses on the two K/S beds are replaced.
