Stayed 4 days at Papaya I and 5 days at Star View. Papaya I is the lower level of a 2 storied building while Star View is a 2 floor condo. Both are great. If you want to see a spectacular sunset everyday, stay at Star View. On New Year Eve, I could also watch the fireworks from the upper... More

We really enjoyed our stay in Star View. It is a stand alone cottage on the other side of the pool from Star Villa. It is in a great location just up from Gallows Point, about a 5 min walk to Cruz Bay. The villa has a living area & full kitchen downstairs and the bedroom & bath upstairs. There... More

our third year staying with bob and marlene in their star villa complex. they have about 5 or so villas on the edge of Cruz Bay, up past Gallows Point. the accomodations are nice and bob and marlene are a pleasure to work with. Gallows Point store offers a bagel breakfast and other sundries you might need for your villa.... More

I visit St. John, United States Virgin Islands seven or eight times a year on business, and usually stay at Star Villas (vacancy permitting). The rooms in the various units have always been clean, the views sensational, and the decor in general (bamboo furniture, etc.) provide the guests with a real Caribbean ambiance. From the pick-up at the ferry dock... More

I wish I had seen the review from trv08 on Feb 12 2008 before I booked - as it was spot on. Regrets. - I can certainly validate all the reviewer’s comments and I guess everyone’s expectations ‘are’ different as nothing has changed since - and the owners’ vitriolic,defensive, non-apologetic response is indicative of the lack of insight and low...

We chose Star Villas for a friend's wedding on St. John. We stayed at the Star of the Sea, a 1 BR, 1 Bath. Price is VERY reasonable, especially considering the very pricey accommodations available on St. Johns. The location is perfect, about a 5-10 minute walk to downtown Cruz Bay. The cottage itself is charming and unique. It was... More

My husband and I stayed in "The Nest." This place does not look like any of the other pictures on this site (and is not listed on starvillas.com) so it matters which of the villas you are reading the review for. The Nest villa was nice and clean and had been recently renovated. So recently I guess, I noticed bathroom... More

When you've done your homework, and you know what St. John is all about, THIS is the place to stay. If you're looking for a resort or all-inclusive experience, keep searching. Star Villa was everything and more my sister and I needed to celebrate my 'milestone' birthday. The villa has 2 airconditioned bedrooms, 2 full baths, a full kitchen, and... More

As mentioned in other reviews, Bob and Marlene are great hosts. We had flight delays and they picked us up late at night from the St. John's Ferry, which we both really appreciated. We stayed in the Star Villas, which was a one bedroom, one bath condo-like villa. My recommendation to anyone who stays in the Carribbean, please bring bug... More
