Loved our stay at Windridge, the views are amazing! The hot tub wasn't working during our stay but we were given a partial refund because of that. Home is clean. Hosts are very helpful, they delivered water during a power outage. We would love to visit again in the future!

This property was incredible. It has great view of Coral Bay and is in close proximity to the National Park. St. Johns is the best USVI and we would highly recommend this property. The driveway is pretty steep, but manageable and the private outdoor shower was really cool. He outdoor patios are a highlight. We give it a 5-star review, across the board.

Windridge has everything we looked for in a St John cottage: great views, excellent lounge chairs for star gazing, hot tub, functioning TV, dishwasher and W/D. Even though the management company is off island, they sent a local person to resolve an issue when the island wide power outage caused some breakers in the box to trip off. The driveway is exceptionally steep but we got used to that.

Brilliant

One of the best places we stayed ever in the USVI. Absolutely gorgeous view from the terrace, clean house, amazing yard, quiet neighborhood. We just love this place. Be aware of curve roads us and down to get there and house is on the hill, there are some mosquitos. But it is absoluitely worth to stay there! Buy groceries, so you could cook home at least at morning to go to the beaches early to get parking. Thank you to the owners, we were happy there. Igor & Marina, Chicago, Il, April 2025.

So the views are awesome, during the day, but my favorite was watching the moon and the stars shining on the water. Its a really nice place. We got in the hot tub almost every night ( because we didn’t go out very much, it was so nice there at the cottage. The only thing to complain about was the roads. Takes some getting used to driving on the left side of the road. We plan to go back and hope to stay at the same place. The outdoor shower was really nice too!! Highly recommend!!

Perfect View

The location had the perfect view and even though it was hot, the lower deck had constant wind which made for wonderful mornings/afternoons. Once the sun was behind the mountain, the top deck was wonderful (we used it almost every day for cocktail hour and dinner. Communication with the property manager was easy and could not have been better. We were there in the off season so some locations in Coral Bay were closed, but grocery stores were still open and we didn't feel we missed out on anything, Cruz bay was only about 30 mins away. The north side of the islands was closer and absolutely amazing!

We had an incredible time on St John celebrating our 20th Anniversary. Our stay at Windridge played a huge part in making this trip so very special. Our hosts Karen and Emma went above and beyond, finding us a taxi driver to bring us all the way to the property when our flight was delayed by over 4 hours and we arrived after 10 pm and couldn’t get our rental car after 8. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and we enjoyed coffee during sunrise every morning, cocktails on the sundeck every evening. The shady patio area was just a magical spot to enjoy dinners in, followed by a dip in the hot tub. The outdoor shower was a highlight, and the big treefrog who lived in the seashell, the little geckos, and the giant hermit crabs who’d visit just added to the charm. The interior was comfortable, clean, and offered beautiful views at every turn. We appreciated that Windridge was fully stocked- the kitchen had everything we could need, and there were beach chairs, mats, coolers, pool noodles, and beach towels available to use. We also appreciated having a washer and dryer. Windridge was a wonderful home base to return to after exploring the stunning beauty of St John, and we’re so thankful to have had this experience!

Perfect Place to Explore St John

My wife and I absolutely loved this property. We woke up before 6 am every day to "take in" the amazing sunrise over the British Virgin Islands from the beautiful deck. We loved exploring the island, but when we were at our VRBO we loved spending time on the deck. This includes spending peaceful nights gazing up to the heavens; virtually no light pollution...it was a spectacular star gazing experience every night. We felt very much at home with everything we needed. Karen was a very gracious host and helped make our 40th Anniversary getaway very special. As advertised, you'll need a Jeep to traverse the steep road and driveway, but I felt comfortable driving it after a few times. We weren't sure about the outdoor shower when we read about it, but we loved it! It was a new experience that added to our adventure AND it was very private. We loved snorkeling, hiking, kayaking and paddleboarding on St. John. We loved coming back to Freemans Ground after a big day. I'm so happy that I picked this place...and I can easily "transport" back to see the gorgeous views.

Perfect Mix of Water and Woods

My husband and I came to celebrate 21 years of marriage. I considered another rental that was more of a tree house setting. I love the idea of being surrounded by lush landscape. My husband wants to see the water. This house was the perfect combination. We spent most of our time on the lounge chairs overlooking the water. However, the private patio, outdoor shower, and hot tub gave you a totally different vibe on the back patio surrounded by lush trees and island wildlife. We only needed the top floor and it was the perfect size for the two of us. The kitchen had plenty of the basic cooking ingredients like spices, oils, vinegars, etc. My only word of caution is the driveway. You absolutely need a Jeep or 4x4. It took me a few days to get used to the incline of the driveway. Take it slow and low and you'll be fine. We stayed in October and there was only the bar in Coral Bay as a dining option. Miss Lucy's, the swim up Taco bar and Skinny Legs were all closed. The upside was we felt like the island was all ours some days. We had Denis Bay and Reef Bay totally to ourselves on the days we went there. If you go to St. John for nature and adventure, this house will surely please you. It's quiet yet close to great trails.

We stayed for two weeks this summer and had a wonderful time. The house is well appointed and the view of Coral Bay is beautiful. Because of the location you will always have a breeze which is nice in the evening. We would definitely consider returning. Communication with the property managers was easy and they were responsive and helpful.

The View! The View! The View!

We visited Estate at Freeman's Ground, overlooking the boats in Coral Bay and the mountains beyond the first week of March. The home was perfect for the two of us. It has unmatched views from the deck - perfect for watching sunrises, sunsets and everything in between. The home was very well provisioned, with a well-stocked kitchen (including a full liquor cabinet of leftovers which we added to when we left and a cabinet full of spices), as well as everything we needed for the beach. Personal, artistic touches were everywhere, including an antique sewing machine with drawers filled with notions from the time. Every room overlooks the water, including a cozy reading nook which doubles as another bed. My favorite was the outdoor shower (no indoor shower), which was a work of art, with a three-sided stone enclosure with embedded shells. The hot tub was also great after a day at the beach. The home was convenient to the beaches and restaurants and we felt more like locals being on the quieter side of the island. A wonderful slice of paradise!
