Great place to Stay!

This is a great place to stay. It's not a fancy resort, Just a two bedroom apartment. If your going to spend your time exploring the island and the waters around then save your money and stay here, not an expensive resort!

The address is 13C Contant road. It is one half of the upper floor of the building. New construction going up in the neighboring property. Expedia's map has the location on the wrong part of Contant road. The road is quite steep. Backing out and turning around takes practice. Otherwise, the facility is good & clean. We appreciated the cooler, the beach towels and chairs, etc..

Second time staying there

We stayed again at contant farms, after having stayed last winter. It was just as great as we remembered. We didn’t mind walking up the hill daily, but if that’s a dealbreaker for you, you may want to look elsewhere. But for us, it was the perfect place to stay. We will certainly stay again in the future, given the opportunity.

Great value and location!

This spot was great. We had everything we needed, and the hosts were so helpful and friendly. They provided water and a fruit bowl upon our arrival, which was very kind. There is a major construction project going on next door, but it didn't bother us at all.

Great Stay in St John

Convenient location and great value!!

We enjoyed our stay immensely and would definitely return to this rental! The owner is very sweet, left fresh flowers, a fruit bowl, and a couple gallons of water. We had hot water, A/C, and a super convenient location just a couple of minutes from downtown Cruz Bay. We will probably be back at some point! :)

Wonderful Base for Exploring St. John

We loved our stay at this convenient 2 bedroom apartment. We were able to eat our breakfasts at the apartment and make lunches to eat when we were out hiking. We ate at restaurants most evenings. The apartment was clean, and it was the perfect size as our base for hiking, exploring the ruins, and enjoying the beaches. St. John is a beautiful island. Thank you, Mr. Prince, for your hospitality and for making us feel comfortable and welcome.

Duplex at St John

Loved the small quiet home away from home. We had no problems while we were there. Stayed cool with the window ac. Full kitchen we didn't use. Balcony views where the car ferries come in/out. Small parking area. One of the two bedrooms has twin beds. It was prefect for us!

Everything you need!! Beds were comfortable. Full kitchen! Short walk to Cruz Bay and taxis- no need to get a car. The kitchen cabinets were old, some tile in the bathroom was broken, otherwise in excellent condition. If these small things were fixed, I bet Mr. Prince could get 500- 800 a night, which is typical for Cruz Bay! There was an air conditioning unit in both bedrooms and a natural breeze that came in from the kitchen. Stayed nice and cool. If needed, this duplex comes with a generator. I felt very safe in the neighborhood. Another home on the street had 10-15 old cars in the front yard- so a bit like a junkyard. Mr. Prince could not be a kinder man!! Always ready to answer calls and transport us from the ferry ! If granite countertops, luxury bathroom tiles, and a neighborhood with an HOA are important to you; please pay 800 a night elsewhere. Otherwise, it’s a diamond in the rough and I advise to book here!

Comfort in Cruz Bay

Mr. Prince’s place is perfect for a small family or couple. We were in St. John for a wedding and enjoyed having a crash pad right in town. We rented a Jeep to explore the island- parking is available in front of the apartment. Many of our friends opted to use taxis, but we learned that a jeep is the way to go especially if you do not like to wait for a taxi. The supermarket is very close by, as well as a gas station. The views of the island from the kitchen and patio of the apartment are excellent. We are early risers, so we did not mind the local roosters in the morning. Overall we would return to this rental, it is affordable and clean.

mr prince was lovely and available. the apartment was roomier than we expected, had plenty of closet and dresser space, bathroom was clean, plenty of bath and beach towels, beach chairs, cooler, noodles, a grill, stove.. everything you could need. there was even bug spray and dish soap, and mr prince left us some drinking water in case we hadnt gotten any yet. it was dark when we arrived, and he met us at the gas station so we could follow him to the apartment. my kids loved the view. thanks so much, mr prince!

Disappointed….

Prince was amazing. He picked us up and also brought us to the grocery store! The communication with the owner was great. As for the place, we were disappointed. The pictures did not show certain details. The shower was moldy and there was rust around the drain. The outside porch was dirty and the all of the beach chairs and floats were not usable. The grill was immaculate! I still think it should have been much cleaner and the tub should have been in the pictures. I would not stay there again unless changes were made

Our home away from home

Our family (a couple and a 1-year old) stayed for one week at Mr Prince's house on Contant hill, and we had our best time ever in St John. The property is a two bedroom (one with a queen bed and one with two singles), and a large living room/kitchen with a balcony overlooking the back side of Cruz Bay, i.e. the other small bay where the car ferry docks. The flat is very clean and has everything you need to be in your home away from home: effective AC, everything you need to cook meals, wi-fi, linen, towels, soaps, even mosquito repellent and sunscreen. It is perched almost at the top of Contant hill, which means you have to negotiate a 200m hill with 20% grade, but that's perfectly feasible, day and night (it's well it and safe), if you're just a little fit. For context, we only used a taxi the first and last day because we had large bags and baby stuff, but went up and down fine during the whole week. Immediately down the hill, there's a mall with a well-stocked supermarket, pharmacy, and a coffee/gelato place that was our favorite breakfast spot, Giovanni's. Downtown Cruz Bay is a 15 minutes walk with no other significant hills other than the one by the house. The closest beaches are either Cruz Bay itself (with a lineup of restaurants right on the sand), or the Westin in the opposite direction, which we walked to every evening with the baby - one mile downhill, and you can take the taxi on the way back which will drop you at the bottom of the hill.Highly recommended!
