This is my second time here and it is a beautiful place. I love it here. The island is stunning as is the property. Jacqueline is an amazing woman with a lot to teach to you about life and living in St John.

Upon Arrival to the Island I was greeter by a lady full of smiles and life. This was who she was throughout.. When told what needed to be done, all the materials and supplies were on hand. The main task was cleaning the Villas which are three. This was done whenever guest left. There was other tasks to do that were not overwhelming. I learned so much about plants and we went to a plant sale as well. All in all, the host is a wonderful person and the accomodations were outstanding. Would highly recommend.

The guest house is a wonderful place. Jacqueline is amazing! Her property is gorgeous. Jacqueline is an excellent communicator. All tasks were explained and any questions answered promptly and professionally. St John USVI is a beautiful island. The weather is fabulous. Rainbows, breeze, views, hiking, beaches, boat excursions, etc, all available if you want or desire. The people are also very lovely on St John, very friendly and welcoming. Jacqueline was very generous in helping me to have a great experience, and she will do the same for you. Thank you Jacqueline, so much.

Jacqueline is amazing! Every morning there were clear goals set for the morning. Sometimes we would work together and sometimes I worked independently, depending on the task and need. And of course, it is always good to be flexible, even with our lists. Jacqueline is fun, energetic, encouraging, and passionate about her home and St John. She loves the guests who come to stay. She appreciates them and appreciates the WorldPackers who help everything run smoothly. The accommodation is amazing - a comfy room with a beautiful view. A great experience!
