Love this property

This home was perfect for the four of us. The house was very clean and comfortable...especially the beds! The house was also very well provisioned. The outdoor living are was great - both the deck and the pool area, and of course the views were spectacular! The rental agency was very courteous and responsive. I highly recommend this place!

The view and the pool set up make this a perfect Villa

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house, view and pool make this a perfect place for family or couple. The pool is the nicest one we have had at any of our villa stays. It was warm and sunny each day. The house has just what you need to make things comfortable and homey. It is a good location - high above the hills but not hard to get to.

Amazing view!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Amazing view! Great location. 5 minutes from downtown to all shopping & restaurants. My husband & I here with 3 teens, a 10 year old. The bottom floor was a perfect spot for the teens. My only concern was part of the railing on the balcony of bottom floor was missing & a board had been placed there. I assume this was temporary & they were in the middle of repairs. Other than that small repair everything was amazing. Would definitely stay here again!

A wonderful stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at Ballena Blue. Spotlessly clean, strong AC and WiFi, comfortable beds, lots of towels, and everything you could need to cook a gourmet meal in the kitchen including sharp knives. Location was good for getting into town. The turn onto the street was a little harrowing the first couple of times but then we got used to it. Driveway was easy to navigate and had ample turn around space. The views were spectacular and the pool was well maintained with great outdoor furniture and big grill that had plenty of propane. The owners/catered to left us some much appreciated provisions. I would highly recommend the home for adult groups or families with older children.

The Best Location and Unbelievable View!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent 5 amazing days in St. John. The villa was everything and more from the breathtaking views to the pool area. The villa was just the right size for us and our friends. The villa provided all the items we needed for our beach outings, which was a plus, so we did not have to rent them. The kitchen has everything you could need if you cook at home. One of the things that was important to us was the generator and air conditioning. This villa offered both. The villa was secluded but offered easy access to the road that could take you into downtown or head to the beaches. There were beautiful birds that were always chirping and iguanas that were hanging out or sleeping in the trees. It was so cool. The villa’s management company, Catered To, was awesome from the beginning working with Vernesta on setting up the right villa and accommodations, to our arrival being greeted at the car ferry by Jhelisa who took us to the villa, showed us around, making sure we had everything we needed. Then on our last day we were checked on to make sure we had a wonderful stay. The villa had a book that was great for information about St. John, the different places to visit and see and restaurants. We cannot say enough about the villa and what it afforded us. We will stay here again.

Lovely home with Beautiful views and fantastic pool !

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Ballena Blue for a week in July. It was a beautiful home, immaculately clean, with every single thing you might need. The home is beautifully furnished, the beds are very comfy, the kitchen is well stocked with every necessary item. The pool is just beautfiul and overlooks the bay. There are coolers, plenty of beach towels and 's located about a 7 minute drive to Cruz Bay, so is far enough away that it's wonderfully quiet at night. The management company is excellent. They met us in town, escourted us up to the home and gave us a detailed tour, explaining how everything works. I would not hesitate to stay again, and I highly recomend anyone who is considering staying at Ballena Blue to book it and stay as long as you can ! It's perfect.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family had a wonderful week at Ballena Blue. It was the perfect size for the five of us (our family of four plus grandmom). The house was clean and well maintained. The first day we noticed that the kitchen disposal did not work and that the kitchen sink drained slowly. Within a couple of hours maintenance arrived and solved the problems. The house was better than the pictures. The views were amazing. The kitchen was well stocked with quality utensils, pots, pans, etc. The landscaping was beautiful.While there my two teenage sons did there open water checkout dives with Low Key Watersports. They ran a great dive operation. Our favorite restaurants were La Tapa and Windmill Bar (we ate there twice). Also, I highly recommend a rum tasting at Bajo el Sol.I would absolutely recommend Ballena Blue. I hope to return soon.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The villa was exceptionally well maintained and clean. It was equipped with everything we needed. All the bedrooms are larger than average. Everything is even nicer than the pictures. The driveway parking is flat and spacious. Walkway to villa has only a few steps. We rarely spend time at the pool but this pool was so pretty and inviting we spent two afternoons there. The patio is large with a great view and is wonderful for morning coffee and happy hours. We loved this villa and hope to be back.
