Great stay in Chocolate Hole

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful apartment on the lake at Chocolate Hole. The property was beautiful with lots of wildlife to enjoy. We particularly loved the hummingbirds and lizards and the resident cat Lulu! The space was great for two people and it had easy parking on a level road which is rare on St. John! Easy drive into Cruz Bay. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

4 night stay

Property manager and Ausra were very responsive in answering questions. We found the property to be clean however had an odd odor inside the apt. Felt maybe it was a mix of smoke and musty smell. All of our clothes reaked of it upon leaving. The bathroom sink drain ran extremely slow and could have used more lighting in the kitchen and living room. Shower and Hot tub were nice. We did not use the kayaks.

This villa is quiet and beautiful! Only minutes from the hustle of Cruz Bay but you feel cozy in your own little heavenly oasis. The property has several patios with ample seating, a hot tub, and access to the water. There are a couple of little walking trails from the villa (the "beach trail" is the better one) but not much walkable other than that. Roads in St. John are a bit rough but the rental they offered us managed them without issue. The hosts and their property manager were outstanding in their communication and helpfulness. They offered suggestions about local businesses and just went above and beyond to make sure our stay was pleasant. 10/10!

Fantastic location, accommodations, and communication

My husband and I celebrated our honeymoon at the Villa Isabelle and it was the best experience we have ever had? The hosts were incredibly accommodating, and the property is stunning! We did not utilize the rental car available, but it was on the property and is very nice. The location is perfect and stunning. We loved using the kayaks and paddleboards to adventure over to Chocolate Hole bay several times. Thank you for the amazing experience and we look forward to returning for our 1 year anniversary!

Beautiful St. John's

The owners of this property have done a wonderful job on the grounds and the apartment was just perfect for two. Everything we needed for a relaxing few days on this beautiful island. I can't say enough great things about this little spot. Great location but still private, clean, beautiful views, and very gracious hosts. Would definitely stay again. - Matt & Teresa

Hidden Gem!

I booked this stay as a solo traveler on short notice, so that I could be near friends staying at the Westin. The property is unique and lovely, with a cozy and well-equipped interior, expansive outdoor space and gorgeous views of the water. Ausra was professional, kind and responsive. Perfect spot for a couple or solo traveler, although I recommend a car rental unless you enjoy walking and don’t mind the hills :).
