Perfect place for two in St. John!

My daughter and I enjoyed a fantastic stay at Blue Marlin. So cozy, so comfortable. Amazingly clean, ideal set up for being able to make some meals there, but a very short walk to Cruz Bay for access to dining, bars, taxis to the beaches. It had everything you could ask for in order to have a private space to relax. Jackie was so helpful and made it easy to book, easy to get there and even though we really didn't need much while we were there, we knew we could reach out at any time and she would help. I couldn't recommend the Blue Marlin more!

Walkable, Relaxing, and Close to Everything!

We spent 10 incredible days at this rental and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The location is ideal—just a short walk to Cruz Bay, where we enjoyed great restaurants, shops, and easy access to water activities like snorkeling and boat tours. The property was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The hosts were responsive and helpful with local tips. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy the best of St. John without needing a car every day!

Perfect getaway in a great location!

Stayed at Blue Marlin in May. It was a terrific property - clean, plenty of room, AC - in a perfect location! There's a nice view from the living room and porch looking out over Frank Bay. Two minute walk down the hill to Gallows Point (coffee shop and general store) or go another three minutes and you're in Cruz Bay - having an amazing cocktail at DRINK ST JOHN!

Blue Marlin

Blue Marlin provided what we were looking for: a clean home base from which to explore the island, kitchen facilities to prepare meals, proximity to the town and transportation. The property management team were quite organized and helpful, and communication was prompt and clear. They met us at the ferry, gave us a brief orientation to the town and delivered us to the unit. Livingroom furniture is much more comfortable than the bamboo set shown. It's a 2 bath unit (not 1 as shown). The newer bath (shown) is lovely; the master bath (not shown) was clean but needs updating. We also felt the steps from the bedroom area (not seen in the pictures) were hazardous in the dark of night; a plug-in night might help. Over all, we enjoyed our stay at Blue Marlin.

5min walk to town, do not pass it up!

After being to the island a couple times and going by myself this time, I wanted something close to downtown Cruz Bay. This place was perfectly located, 5 min walk to town (slight hill on your way back but very manageable, just past Gallows point) which I walked nightly. Jackie (who was awesome) was my host and set up a private cab from the airport to Red Hook ferry and then met me at the dock in Cruz Bay to drive me to the apt and showed me around (which saved me a walk with luggage or renting a Jeep the day I got there which would have been a waste of money since I got in at 6pm).The apt itself was very clean, great for 1-2 people, the pictures are very accurate. the smaller bathroom is a little tight but the other was much more comfortable with a pretty large walk in shower. I’d say there is nothing overly fancy about Blue Marlin (not a bad thing), but had everything I needed, was in great shape, very clean, vey safe neighborhood, and the price for that close to town is almost unheard of. Beach towels, coolers, and chairs were available and used daily. The rental company is very professional, and stayed in contact with me via email a couple times before my visit and even called me at one point to talk about the upcoming visit. I highly recommend using the company, and highly recommend Blue Marlin! Do not pass on this place, enjoy!

Second stay in 11 months!

Enjoyed our 2nd stay in the past year. Have family living on island & this is VERY convenient to where they reside, as well as to everything in Cruz Bay. The villa is comfortable and very clean. Refrigerator is nice & cold, love the gas cooktop, ceiling fan makes the kitchen very comfortable, even made mini-cupcakes in the toaster over (brought my own silicone muffin pans). Would love it if the owner included a couple larger than cereal bowls (to mix salad in). The large window in the kitchen provides a nice view of the water - you can watch the car barges come and go. The wall-mounted ductless a/c unit is in the bedroom and makes sleeping comfortable. Open the curtains that separate the bedroom & living room to let the a/c flow thru, turn on the ceiling &/or floor fans and you will be cooled off in no time! One note about the bedroom - it has a low ceiling (about 6'3"). We had no issues with that though (husband is 5'10"). There is a 2nd, smaller bathroom a step away from the bedroom with 2 small windows (one glass block) so there's natural light. The shower in this smaller bathroom also has decent water pressure. A couple other nice amenities are a medium, soft-sided, insulated cooler, beach chairs, and pool noodles that you can take with you to the beach. There's a driveway for you to park your rental vehicle, but we rarely rent one. We get our exercise from walking (bring a small umbrella to shield you from the sun!). From Blue Marlin villa, it’s a 5-min walk to The Beach Bar and to Lovango Rum Bar (best pizza on island; crust is yummy, doesn’t taste like cardboard! Charcuterie boards, salads, paninis, & desserts are delicious, too!)…an 8-min walk to Cruz Bay ferry dock and Cruz Bay Landing…a 9-min walk to Quiet Mon Pub and Extra Virgin Bistro…a 10-min walk to Dolphin Market…an 11-min walk to The Roti King…a 15-min walk to Mongoose Junction…an 18-min walk to The Marketplace/Starfish Market. If you’re feeling adventurous, a 30-50 minute, slightly hilly hike along the Lind Point Trail ends at the beautiful Honeymoon Beach. Remember to bring water & snacks, and wear your sneakers/walking/hiking shoes and bathing suit! No restrooms. You can also take a Safari and pay a fee (about $10 round trip per person) to take the beach shuttle from Caneel Bay to Honeymoon Beach. Conservation, respect, and kindness are key to St. John, USVI remaining one of your favorite places to kick back and relax!

Close to cruz and comfortable

Visiting St John for the beaches and the Beach to Beach swim event. This unit was close to town, quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. I wanted a week of open water swimming and relaxation and we found a nice place to stay. We decided to not rent a car becausee st john relativly small island with lotsmof taxis/safari trucks. For most this doesnt work and i am sure next time we will rent a car. But no regrets. If you arent up for a little 10 min walk up the hill get a car. Unit met allnour needs and manager was fantastic.

Our stay at Blue Marlin in February 2025 was very good. The king size bed was very comfortable. It was great to have to have two bathrooms in this small unit. The laundry set up was very convenient (shared with one other unit). The kitchen and bbq were both very well equipped. The unit supplied beach chairs and beach coolers, and we used those on our beach trips.We had some issues on our first day (key sticking in the front door, TV remote not working and damaged front gate), but Jackie very promptly corrected them. We appreciated the very quick service. We spent lots of time just looking at the water from the kitchen windows and from the private front porch. Overall,if we visited St. John again, we would stay again.

We ended up being upgraded to the Casa Blanca which is upstairs and has a private pool. It was wonderful. Only issue was the neighbor was adding a room or building on and they worked until 9:00 some nights. Probably because of the 86 degree weather.

Perfect location

The property is just up the hill from Cruz Bay, far enough away that you do not hear the bar crowds at night, but not so far as to need/want a car/taxi even after having a large meal with several drinks. The property is small but has two full bathrooms, A/C, towels for the beach and bathrooms, pots, pans, 25oz. drip coffee maker, microwave, toaster oven, ice cube trays, cooking range, but no oven. King-size bed, a couch, two reclining chairs around the television, a four-person kitchen table, satellite TV, and reliable, wireless internet. The property manager was friendly, and prompt with replies and warned us the evening before a several-hour-long pending, island-wide power outage. 10/10, would recommend.

Great location

First time to St. John’s. We wanted a location close to everything and this fit the bill! We didn’t need a vehicle but could walk everywhere or take a taxi to the beaches. We also took the city bus ($1!) to the other side of the island to go to Salt pond beach. Accommodations were clean and comfortable. A little outdated but that isn’t important to us. Enjoyed watching a peacock in our driveway! Only barrier with not having a vehicle was getting to a grocery store. If you have trouble walking uphill you would need a vehicle. Jackie (the manager) was wonderful! Super helpful, responsive and very nice! Hope to be back!
