This is a magnificent house in a great part of the island. The views and breeze are some of the best we have seen in our many times to St. John. Can't recommend this place enough and the entire staff for the property make it very seemless.
We had the best time staying at Maria Breeze and will certainly be back soon. The villa was very clean and in a great location, minutes from town and beaches. Communication with the property manager and check in were seamless.

We had an amazing vacation staying at Maria Breeze! The views were breathtaking and the house was a perfect place to relax and everyone had ample space to spread out. Everything about the check in process was easy and team was very responsive. Would definitely recommend and hope to return! Thank you for letting us stay!
This home was perfect. Clean, comfortable for seven adults and two children. The five king bedrooms with baths allowed everyone to have their space. The common areas (living room, dining, pool and decks) were equally spacious and appointed with all we needed for a relaxing getaway. The host was very attentive to our requests, some at the last minute. I highly recommend this home.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Holly! We're pleased to hear that the home worked so well for your group and that you found everything to your liking. It’s great to know our attentiveness made a difference during your stay. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway soon!
The house exceeded our expectations. The en suite layout was perfect for our group. The breeze on the veranda in morning and afternoon was quite pleasant, coupled with the views …. Simply amazing
Maria Breeze and Book VI were fantastic! The house is perfect, and the service was above and beyond.
St. John was awesome (not cheap!!!), but unforgettable. The house is great for couples. Would stay there again in a second!

Well thought out design. Bedrooms are spread out and entered from outside. All with private baths and AC. Amazing views. Pool is gorgeous with beautiful plants.
Main building has well-stocked kitchen and living room. No AC in main butting which was quite hot on a few days in mid-June.
Good parking spaces; nice laundry set up; outdoor freezer for ice bags.
Management company was highly professional.
Definitely recommend this home.

Thanks for staying with us and we are happy that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you all again next year! We have 14 different villas of different sizes to meet any groups needs.
We celebrated my husband's 60th birthday with 4 other couples and I had a hard time finding a place that we all could have our own suite that wasn't outrageously expensive-Maria Breeze is amazing for this reason. We booked the house for a week and we initially thought maybe the kitchen was small but it worked out perfectly for our 3 nights in for dinner because we were all able to sit at the large table that it outside on the patio. We spent our mornings overlooking beautiful great Cruz Bay on the large patio that easily accomodated our party of 10. At night we had cocktails outside and had fun watching the night snorkelers in the bay. The beds are all kings and very comfortable with bedding and towels that were plush. The management team was very responsive when one of the locks on the doors broke and they had maintenance come out that day to fix it. Everything was amazing at this wonderful house and we have rented many. We plan on coming back and staying here again!
The property is located in a very nice neighborhood atop a tall hill with excellent views. The house was well appointed with modern appliances and refreshed updating. Each bedroom had it's own outside entrance so privacy was not a problem. Brendan and his team at BookVI were great and very quick to return a call or come over if there was an issue. Our only one suggestion is that the pool was freezing, as it was in the shade most of the day, we jumped in but quickly got out. Overall it was a wonderful villa and we would definitely rent again.

Maria Breeze and Mark Shekleton are the Best!
We have been coming to St. John since 1995 and have stayed at many different villas with many different villa management companies, including Seaview Homes. But after this year, I think Maria Breeze and Mark are our favorites. I had been looking at Maria Breeze and when I read that the villa had been updated, I booked it. All of the bedrooms and baths have been refreshed and the exterior decks and fencing has been updated. But the best thing about the villa is its location, views, and never ending breezes. My husband and I stayed for almost 3 weeks, the first half with another couple who we travel with and the last 10 nights with my daughter, her husband, and their two adorable kids, 5 and 2. The home is perfect for couples and families and we really can't wait to come back! I can't end this review with a shout out to Mark Shekleton. He is a rock star when it comes to villa management and the very few issues that we had were solved instantly with no muss, no fuss. Mark, you were tops!

A beautiful home with stunning views. Layout of the home allowed for together time by the pool & dining area but private space in your own separate/detached rooms. Home was up to date, clean, safe and a lovely place to relax. Quiet spot but close drive to Cruz bay for dining, shopping, etc. A great trip had by all!!

Hello Elizabeth,
Thank you again and happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Villa Maria Breeze.
Island Regards,

Overall we very much enjoyed our stay at Maria Breeze. We spent most of our time out on the great porch enjoying the breeze and beautiful view. The house overall was very clean but the kitchen drawers and cabinets could use a little cleaning. Some dishes and silverware were put away dirty and inside the drawers and cabinets were dirty.
Villa Maria Breeze was everything we could have hoped for. Breath taking views, comfortable beds, space to spread out, lovely decor…a very well kept property. Mark and Linda were incredibly responsive to our needs as they arose.
The view from our property was amazing!!! Property manager was extremely attentive to our needs and weather issues. Would definitely come back!!!

We had a fabulous week at Villa Maria Breeze! The location and house exceeded our expectations! Plenty of space for a large party of friends/family. Beautifully appointed rooms, all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay (including high-end bed linens and large, fluffy bath and beach towels), and a view to die for! There were plenty of beach chairs and two coolers for use at the beach. Lots of games for evening fun! The property manager was super helpful and on-call when needed, and brought us snacks and beverages for our arrival. Terrific hospitality all around! Many thanks for a wonderful vacation!

We stayed at Maria Breeze for a week with two 50 somethings and 6 young adults. The house is as beautiful as the pictures Sunsets were spectacular from the deck. The pool and all deck space were comfortable and great for relaxing after beach time. We will be back!
