Panoramic Sunset Views: Grand Upper Villa with Huge Dining Patio Elevate your St. John experience in our "Great House" Upper Level. If you are looking for the "Wow" factor, this is it. Boasting soaring high ceilings and an expansive architectural design, the Upper Level of Mandavilla is a majestic hillside retreat designed to capture the best panoramic views and refreshing trade winds in Cruz Bay.
The "Grand" Difference While both our villas offer luxury, guests choose the Upper Level for its sense of scale and premier outdoor space:
Soaring High Ceilings: The open-concept living area feels incredibly spacious and airy, perfectly capturing the tropical breezes.
The Ultimate Sunset Patio: Our oversized covered balcony is significantly larger than the lower level. the perfect "outdoor living room" for hosting family dinners as the sun dips below the horizon.
Full Chef’s Kitchen: A large, fully-stocked kitchen flows directly into the dining area, making it the ideal choice for groups who love to cook and socialize together.
Work with a View: Stay connected with high-speed Starlink Internet, perfect for streaming or taking video calls with the Caribbean Sea as your backdrop.
Space & Comfort Two King Suites: Two spacious bedrooms featuring king-sized beds and private baths, designed for ultimate rest.
The Pool Oasis: Step down to the tropical shared pool—a perfect sanctuary for a refreshing dip after a day at the National Park.
Walk to Town: Enjoy a 15-minute downhill stroll into the heart of Cruz Bay for world-class dining and shopping. (We recommend a Jeep for the "tropical workout" back up the hill!)
VIP Arrival & Support We take the stress out of island travel. We coordinate a complimentary ferry greeter to meet you at the dock and guide you (or your Jeep) to the villa. Plus, our on-island manager can assist with pre-arrival grocery stocking so your vacation starts the moment you land.

We recently stayed in the upper unit of Mandavilla with a group of four adults. While the property has potential with incredible views and nice overall amenities, several issues significantly impacted our stay.One of the bathrooms had no hot water. Although the maintenance team was responsive, it still took four days to resolve the problem. During that time, repair tools were left throughout the bathroom when workers were not present, and the light fixture had been removed for wiring related to a new water pump. This made the space unusable and required us to adjust our plans for several days to allow everyone time to get ready.We also experienced a power outage one evening. We specifically chose Mandavilla because it was advertised as having a functioning generator, but we later learned the generator had been out of service for some time—information that was never communicated to us.In addition to these issues, several aspects of the property were in poor condition. The grill had seen better days, and the deck boards surrounding the pool were hazardous, with rotting wood and exposed nails.I attempted to address these concerns with the owner, but she was not receptive and stated, “That’s just the way it is in St. John.” Based on our experience, I would not recommend this property.

Family Vacay
The view and outdoor living space were amazing! Furniture and decor were nice and the kitchen was very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Great location...easy ride into Cruz Bay and about 15-20 to some of the best beaches I've ever been to (Maho, Trunk, Cinnamon). Loved it and would go back in a heartbeat!

Perfect stay in St John
This property exceeded expectations both in terms of location as well as in the quality of the villa itself. The views are phenomenal, and having two suites with king beds was great for our group of two couples. Also, being just a few minutes from Cruz bay allowed us easy access to some good restaurants (Morgan’s Mango and High Tide), as well as the ferry landing. I would say having a car is essential, as the walk up and down the hill to town isn’t very fun, but we had a car so it was a non-issue. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great Views & ease of access to Cruz Bay
We were abolutely blown away with the view and openness of the property. It was extremely quite outside of construction work across the mountain (not the fault of the property). Everyone was extremely quick to communicate if there was an issue, with the only issue was I couldn't figure out how to connect the bluetooth speaker! AC and fans in the each bedroom worked great and made the night enjoyable. Extremely easy to navigate through the island and great location. I would recommend a car just because it is so easy, however you could walk to town as it's a quick straight shot.We will be back.

Mandavilla is a magical spot!
We really enjoyed our stay at Mandavilla Inspired. The home is nicely appointed and the deck and view is to die for. Emily and Matthew were very accommodating and the little things such as picking up provisions were very helpful . We enjoyed our evenings and mornings on the deck enjoying the views and time together. The pool is also quite large for St. John and plenty of chairs and floats for all. Location is great too, quick drive to Cruz Bay and the North Shore Beaches. They mention in the listing that it's walkable to town. This is not really accurate. My husband and I and our three boys are quite fit but did not feel safe walking the steep, narrow hill at night. Just did seem very realistic to us. Only other complaint was that the pull out was quite uncomfortable. Our third son opted to sleep on it not pulled out, which was fine for him. However, if we had 6 people that might have been a problem. An egg crate or something similar might alleviate that issue. Truly though it's a wonderful spot and we really enjoyed the home.

Nice quaint ocean front house
The view. The view. The view. We didn’t most of our time sitting outside on the patio enjoying the sound of the ocean waves. The house was nice - 3 bedrooms & 3 full bathrooms. We used the washer and dryer. Very clean. Incredibly pleasant stay.

Birthday Getaway
I planned this getaway to celebrate my Birthday with my husband, my best friend and her husband. The house was absolutely perfect for us...with a bedroom on one side and the other side and the living area in between. We spent the majority of our time, while not out sight seeing or on excursions, either in the pool or out on the lanai. And the view of Cruz Bay was just the icing on my Birthday Cake!!

Relaxing Retreat
We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at the Mandavilla property. Everything was clean and ready when we arrived. The pool was so inviting and we used it every day & some evenings. They balcony was was amazing! We spent so much time and there was so much fan cooled area to enjoy. Wait, did I forget to mention the views? They were stunning. We wished we'd brought our adult son and his girlfriend and will be looking to do so when we can in the future. Thanks for the hospitality!
