We just returned from a week at Battery Hill.. Sand Dollar unit. Very nice and clean. Affordable, great view and close to town.

Not really St. John, but top of my list is Lovango Beach House fomerly "The Love Shack"! On St. John proper it would have to be Orion's Hill.

Each of the 4 places we've stayed had great things about them. None are undesirable in the least - I'd be happy to try any of them again. That being said, ranked from "fabulous" to "wonderful" in descending order:

Casa del Sol
Caneel
Grande Bay
Westin

I like that Grayson Dave! Fabulous to Wonderful

My favorite was Cocolobo out on Reef Bay. Not the villa itself more the area and the views. Also, because we had a full moon the week we were there. No AC--I love that- my husband not so much- but the sliding glass doors around the bedroom were open and you could hear the waves crashing down on Reef Bay all night with an amazing breeze. At one point during the night I woke up and the moon was right outside the sliding door. It was gorgeous!!
We had all of our children there with us. Everything was just such an adventure!..Every switchback, every donkey, every fish while snorkeling- it was just an amazing vacation way back in 2003. Great memories!!

We've only stayed in 2 villas.

Island Horizons was the most beautiful - villa and view.

French Cap was the most fun - great view and we had much more fun there (different couple with us...)

Vistaero. Stayed there twice and when I can finally plan another trip, will stay there again.

Gallows Point for just 2 people - beautiful view, great location with easy walk to town, very relaxing. Vistaero for a big group - spectacular view, large open spaces.

I agree with Grayson Dave- have only stayed in a few different places (and a new one coming up in Feb) but they all rank in the "fabulous to wonderful" range- mostly because they are all on STJ and the rest is gravy.... love Caneel and Westin (and their proximity to the beach), but I have to say there is something about a villa- any villa! Kalorama was AMAZING but a unique trip- usually that falls above my budget. Can't wait to check out Colibri in Feb!

The best villa we've rented was Sol Inclination in Skytop...the views were absolutely killer. The only downside was the drive. Upper Fish Bay isn't close to anything, not either town or any of the beaches so we got sick of the drive. But those views...holy buckets!

We just rented Bay Rum Breeze this past August and it would come in second.
