Missing Be As You Are!

Our family of five enjoyed the perfect five night stay at Be As You Are. This villa had everything we needed from beach supplies, kitchen supplies, toiletries, linens, the list goes on!!! We loved the decor and view from the balcony. My cousin and her family stayed in a different unit so the pool area was a fun spot to hang out and our villa was big enough to accommodate all 11 of us!I would 100% recommend this villa for all listed above as well as the great location!!! Thank you for a great stay!

Our family and guests really enjoyed the villa and its location in Cruz Bay. Close to restaurants and shops and fun to navigate the hills. Check-in was efficient and all in our party loved the unit. Each had rooms and plenty of space to feel comfortable. Great ocean and sunset views. We would love to come back! Thank you to the owners and property managers.

Incredible villa and experience!

The villa was so nice and comfortable for our group of 9 including 2 families. Spacious and accommodating with privacy if desired. The decorations and included amenities were incredibly thoughtful and greatly appreciated. Communication was top notch! Great recommendation for our local taxi friend, RICKY! The hill was no joke but manageable for our entire party, young and old. Loved it - thank you!!

Great stay, they aren’t lying about the hill

10/10 stay, perfect distance from the night life of Cruz Bay. They aren’t lying about the hill! My group ranged from 23-25 and we still had some trouble some nights. The property managers were great and got me contact information to a local taxi service which was $6 each to get us from Cruz Bay to the VRBO, can’t argue with that. All in all, a great stay and would 100% do it again!

Such a fun stay!

This villa had everything we could need for 6 adults and 2 kids (ages 3 & 4). Updated and clean. The pool was great and right down the steps of our front door. View was amazing. And we love the location. The hill was too steep for the kids to walk to town , but the adults could walk down. We always got a taxi back up :) the property managers were great and so easy to communicate with. We will stay here again!

Be As You Are Villa was Amazing

We had another fantastic stay on St. John, this time bringing a few friends who were visiting for the first time. We chose this property because of its convenient, walkable location to Cruz Bay, making it easy to enjoy dinner, drinks, and shopping without the need to worry about parking. The house itself was beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. The pool was a big hit with the kids, and the four bedrooms provided more than enough space for our group of seven. The host was very helpful, and the check-in process and communication were seamless. We would definitely stay here again! Also, this property had two washers and two dryers (not shared with other units) that came in super handy for towels and clothes.

Everything you need

From the moment we booked they were responsive. Prior to us departing for vacation Kelly connected with us and offered to book our ferry (which we already did but wow if I knew) the Villa literally has everything you need. Honestly everything was perfect. The only downfall for some of our family was the the hill. It’s steep and if you’re not in shape it’s a lot but didn’t both us too much. Would definitely book here again!

Excellent villa

This villa has EVERYTHING you need! From beach chairs, coolers, beach towels, toys, umbrella. We didn’t need a thing. We actually brought entirely too much because we’ve never stayed in a VRBO that had all the amenities as home. Property was very clean, with comfy beds, 2 washers and dryers (reason we shouldn’t of brought so much), stocked kitchen with everything you need including spices. The ONLY negative thing I could say was the hill is atrocious!!!! I’ve never seen anything like it…. But EVERY location is on steep hills. You won’t be disappointed!
