Spacious rooms, very comfortable beds, very clean, gorgeous views. Even some condiments in the fridge and spices in a cabinet. I really liked that there were a bunch of ice packs in the freezer and beach chairs to use!!
The view from the balcony was beautiful. The house was perfect for our needs. The location is great being close to Cruz Bay and right off of Centerline Road. It was extremely helpful to have managers pick us up and drop us off at the ferry. He shared great insight into what we should do on the island. Having the car made it stress free and helpful. St Johns is breathtaking. Would come back again in a heart beat!

Thank you so much for your kind words! This means so much to us! We would love to have you back anytime!
This was our first visit to St. John and a very long journey for us traveling all the way from the west coast. Our 8-night stay at Palmy Daze exceeded our expecations. The unit was very clean upon arrival and communication with the owner and the propery manager were very prompt. The location of the unit is great being only a few minutes from Cruz Bay and not having to rent a car separately made the whole process so much easier. The kitchen is stocked with basic needs like S&P, olive oil, and a few condiments in the fridge. The beds are very comfortable and the layout of the unit worked perfectly for our family of three. Our teenage daughter had the entire loft to herself, which she of course loved. The pool is lovely and the grounds are lush and beautiful.Dena, the property manager, is GREAT! She responded quickly to my text messages and picked us up from the ferry dock as well as took us back on the day of our departure. She also had great suggestions for things to check out while on the island and kept us updated on if we'd be able to get into the unit a little earlier since we arrived on the island so much earlier than the 4 PM check in time. We highly recommend Palmy Daze and would stay here again in a heartbeat!
This was a great and convenient location on St. John. The house was stocked with everything we needed for a great day on the beach. It made everything so simple and fun — the Jeep was a fabulous bonus. Our kids loved the spiral staircase, the deep swimming pool, and the view from the deck. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
We had a fantastic time at this condo. The communication with the property managers was fantastic! It was very clean and a ton of space. The A/C in the bedroom was a nice touch. The proximity to town is great as well. We would definitely return - getting a car with the rental is an INCREDIBLE perk!
We had a wonderful time at palmy daze. The beds were new and comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and the pool was clean and peaceful. Town was a quick trip away and the views from the back deck were beautiful. Coming in to the house’s location, we were a bit skeptical due to an abundance of abandoned cars lining the streets but the house was exactly as pictured and was clean and quiet.

Thank you for your review. Most of the back roads on STJ have broken down cars from the natives/locals parked by their homes. It’s kind of part of the island. Glad you enjoyed our wonderful condo.
We spent four days in St John and loved this property. Very convenient and great views. We liked staying up in the hills a bit instead of the more crowded Cruz Bay. But just a quick 5 min drive into town. Was huge plus to have a car with the property and Dena was very helpful. Condo easily holds 4 adults and was comfortable.
Nice and clean villa with comprehensive amenities!
My family stayed here for 5 days and it was great! Overall it was very clean and homey, and the host Garet and property manager Dena were super kind and helpful!
Free Jeep included in the rent also makes this such a sweet deal, which I don't think you can find anywhere else on St.John.
With so many things going on with my life, I really hope I will find another chance to visit this beautiful island and stay at this place again soon!

My stay here was nothing short of excellent. The property was clean and looked just like the photos. The host was nice, accommodating and the addition of the Jeep to use made it easy to get around the Island. I would definitely recommend this property for a stay at ST. John.

This property was very clean. Well stocked for beach activities. Location is a little tricky to find but we made it. The driveway is a little bit of a challenge but we managed without issues. Communication with the host and owner were great!
My second time visiting and it won't be my last 😍. Quick and clear communication, clean and accurate pictures, very attentive property manager. This is what I set the bar for any other properties I visit in other places.

We were a group of 5 adults and 1 6 yo kid. The fact that the property came with a car big enough to hold all of us was a steal. The property itself was in a good location just 5-10 minutes away from Red Hook. Fold out sofa in the living was surprisingly comfortable. All in all we would definitely stay at the property again.
We love this property. The AC in the master bedroom is a nice touch but wasn’t needed. Short 7 minute drive to downtown Cruz Bay and the beaches of North Shore. Paddle board and fins that were at the condo are amazing! So much fun for our kids. And all the beach chairs were great. The Jeep wrangler is perfect for the island and saved us a lot of money. Will definitely stay again!!

Beautiful view. Gorgeous palm tree right outside our deck. Plenty of fans. Well equipped kitchen. Including the car was fabulous. Dena and Garret are both great.
I simply loved St. John and this listing was great.

Thanks! We’re happy to meet guests at the ferry. :)
Thank you again. I had a wonderful stay at your property everything was absolutely flawless. The check-in went super smooth. I was very grateful that Trevor walked me through the house showed me where everything was located. What a nice addition being able to use a Jeep during my stay as well. Thank you again. See youNexto operate
The highlight of this condo is the view, very beautiful views all around. Dena, the PM, picked us up from the ferry so that was a bonus. She was very communicative and stayed on top of things. She was very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, we experienced a terrible power outage so we had no power for 90% of our short stay so that was very uncomfortable, but that was not in anyone’s control. The location from the downtown area is close 5-7 min drive, the property is tucked away up in the hill, private and secluded, yet easy to navigate, it’s hilly, but they provide a car so that was super helpful. The condo itself is clean and well kept for the age of the property. The rooms were cool due to the numerous windows and cool breeze in the evenings. The AC would have been more than sufficient. We spent most of our time at the beach so the power loss wasn’t so bad (my son had a harder time ).If we decide to visit St John’s again, we would definitely stay here again. (Hopefully with power!) Dena really kept us posted on everything going on in the island and I was appreciative of her responsiveness and island tips and recommendations. We felt safe and cared for here. It’s a beautiful property that I would recommend to other families, but it will be harder for elderly couples due to all the stairs and even the second bedroom (loft) has circular stairs, so better for teenagers.All in all an excellent time despite the power outage (which means no water and no flush).

We are so glad you enjoyed our home despite the power issues. Fortunately, the pool is close by for when we need to flush some water... We have purchased a battery generator to help power fans and the fridge during outages. FYI.
Dena was very kind to pick us at the ferry dock - The car is definitely is huge bonus as it can get difficult to find one on the island - The apartment was clean and well equipped (well except only AC in 1 bedroom) The road is a little noisy.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Palmy Daze so much!
It was a lovely condo for just the two of us but the loft and couch would have worked out fine if our kids wanted to join us.
The view from the deck was glorious and the we miss the warm trade winds blowing through the palm tree right off the deck.
The jeep was super convenient plus!
The driveway was initially a bit scary but we got used to it after a day.
Trevor was very helpful picking us up and dropping us off from the ferry. What a wonderful stay. We will be back!
Great condo and close proximity to area attractions
Our stay started out super convenient as the property manager Trevor picked us up right away at the ferry and took us to our condo earlier than check in time. He gave us a great overview of the island and things we would need. This place came with a jeep which was such an added bonus. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. It also had a sun shade which we desperately needed every day at the beach. Had chairs and coolers and floats too. Any questions I had the property managers responded immediately. They also were helpful in helping us plan our return ferry back to st Thomas airport.
We so delighted staying at this property. It was it better than described, and for us, the icing on the cake was the loaner beach chairs, noodles, coolers AND car. We appreciated that the kitchen had a variety of pots, pans, "Tupperware" so we could do food prep at the condo for our afternoons on the beach. We loved evenings at the pool. We left a few canned goods and not-quite-empty bottles of booze behind to help start the next guest on their vaycay. Communication with the owner was easy and helpful. I highly recommend!

This rental is awesome, and you can include use of the car for not much extra per day! We were picked up at ferry and dropped back off at the end of our stay, added service we found to be very helpful and it offsets the cost of including the vehicle. Deck space in the evening is heaven, beds very comfy, everything spotless and useful, beach chairs another cost effective (and provides freedom) added touch. There is nothing a would recommend the owner and manager change about this perfect rental offering on St. John. We'd be very likely to return here if we ever come back to the island.
