Caribbean Villas

Views make Seacove one of St. John's best villas

St. John villa, Seacove.  June 2009

 We recently returned  this past  June, from our stay at the villa Seacove on St.John, in the gated community of Peter Bay, and  I have to say, the views from the villa were incredible.

That is the only word to describe what was one of our best vacations ever. Peter Bay is so private, with its own beach, which is just a few minutes' walk from the villa. We never wanted to leave Seacove, because the views were some of the 'best’ I have ever seen (having traveled extensively throughout the Caribbean).

Seacove has everything you could want, from the open air feeling of the main living area, to the privacy of the library/media room, to just relax and unwind, after a hard day at the beach. The tile work throughout is extensive, and is complimented by the  locally made light fixtures carefully placed throughout the villa’s  main living areas.  This gives the house a warm and cozy feeling.

One of my favorite outdoor areas was the courtyard, where a tropical water fall surrounded by lush vegetation made a beautiful backdrop, for picture taking with the family.  The views from the main level balcony, were just amazing.

From the moment we arrived, we knew this was a special place, and Chuck, our villa escort made sure we were comfortable with our surroundings and went over the audio and video components thoroughly, so we could enjoy every aspect of the whole villa experience.

Kudos to McLaughlin Anderson, and their team of professionals, for making this a trip we’ll remember, for years to come and  hope to be back, in the not too distant future.

6th visit to St. John the charm at Delfina

St. John Villa, Delfina.  April 2009

Villa Specialist Bonnie Todman received a glowing trip report from these special guests. These repeat renters to St. John felt embraced by the warmth and care of their island managers as well as the ambiance and style of their chosen villa this time around, the beautiful Delfina...

Dear Bonnie,

We send our most sincere thanks to you, to everyone who is a part of your team, and to the owners of Delfina. We appreciate the free day that made it possible for us to make this trip as well as the great service provided by your team. Also, thanks for arranging the trundle bed for the 10 year old - it worked out very well, he loved the games!

What a warm welcome from Chuck as he led us to the villa! The presentation of the villa was enchanting, each room with the lights glowing, ceiling fans cooling the air and music drifting through the home. Our group was thrilled as Chuck took us on a tour and made us welcome. Then as we unpacked and settled in, we realized how much of a home it really was, with everything we could possibly need already there - from spices in the kitchen to band aids in the drawer.

My daughter and I loved changing the table linens to a different theme each day. The freshly baked carrot cake, and grapes, and water, and beer, and coffee, and diet/regular cokes, and chips and flowers made our first morning a dream come true as we sat on the balconies eating breakfast and looking across the bay at the most wonderful blue color of the water with the warm sun on our faces.

This vacation, for all of us, was wonderful. The villa made it so special that we happily came home from the beach (getting out of the water is very hard to do) to live in luxury and jump in the hot tub and cool off in the wonderful infinity pool. And the final touch with the balloons to celebrate my husband's birthday, the whole picture was perfect and so was the look in his eyes.

The memories will live forever in all our hearts, and when things get crazy busy I will go back to St. John and be in the water again and sit on the balcony of Delfina and take a breath of the cleansing air. Thanks, again, for your contribution to the best of our 6 visits to St. John.

Ginger Thomas - Just What We Needed

St. John Villa, Ginger Thomas.  February 2008

"We had a fabulous time at Ginger Thomas and St. John. I had not been to the island in about 6 years and it was just as wonderful as I remembered. The beaches, snorkeling and hiking were fantastic. We enjoyed great meals also while there. They built that new shopping/food mart since I was there and that is a great plus. So many of the places we went hadn't changed which was great. The additional building didn't bother me at all. It's my favorite island of all.

The house was just wonderful. Just what we needed. I have nothing but high praise for it. I had stayed next door at Mandavilla before and I think that area is a perfect location - secluded but close to town.

Your staff was great to work with. Everything went really smoothly and that certainly adds to the enjoyment of the trip. I have given your company's name to several people and I would certainly book with you again.

Thank you again for facilitating a great trip."
