    a guest from Allison Park, Pennsylvania recommends this vacation rental

    We had a wonderful time in St. John. We could not believe how well stocked the property was. It was just like walking into our own home. We've rented houses before but always found they were lacking something, but not Unicorn! It was wonderful having all the beach chairs and snorkel equipment, as well as coolers for our trips to the beach. In addition, our greeter was very helpful and spent a lot of time going over things including restaurant recommendations. Viva was very accommodating and helpful. My teenage daughter loved staying in the guest house. The location was a little far from the beaches, but the island is so small it's really not a big deal. Can't wait to go back to St. John!

    Peggy T from Evanston, IL recommends this vacation rental

    Loved the villa!! Beautiful view! The open air kitchen was fun, after a bird ate a banana we realized all food needed to be stored away. A fabulously well stocked kitchen, could not have asked for better!!! Loved the outdoor shower and the smell of the jasmine tree in bloom. Beautifully decorated. Loved the Barefoot Contessa cookbooks, my favorite!

    We had the most amazing week on St. John. The island is beautiful and the villa and its location could not have been better. The villa was beautifully furnished and equipped with everything that you could possible need. From the first call we made to VIVA to the greeter when we arrived to the information packets we were given, VIVA was so professional and helpful! WIsh we were back on beautiful St. John!

    We have been coming to St John for the last 8 years and this stay at Unicorn was one of the best. The villa had everything that we needed during our stay and the views of different bays were spectacular. We also enjoyed the pool after spending the day at different beaches. I would highly recommend this villa.

    Jane N from Locust Grove, GA recommends this vacation rental

    The house is very well decorated and the views cannot be beat. The kitchen is well stocked, plenty of books to read and movies to watch. The open air kitchen and eating area became a problem with the driving rain that we experienced on several of the days. Due to excessive rain during the week, we had bugs in the eating area, all of the outside rugs and cushions stayed wet and the floor were quite slippery. The small cottage flooded one day and the damp odor in the bedrooms was distracting. I will say that candles were available and we used them to reduce the odor. Given a beautiful sunny week this house would be great.

    • Manager Responded on 11/16/2010

      Thank you so much for your feedback. The weather over those several days broke many precipitation records and iwas a bit excessive. Unicorn has that great open air-dining room which gives you a bird’s eye view of the harbor and sunsets and is fantastic when the weather cooperates. We did offer to close the shutters on the dining room area to secure from rain but understandably you didn't want to lose the views. We’re still glad that you enjoyed the villa’s other amenities… and hoped that you got a chance to enjoy St. John even in the wet weather. We do agree with you on the views-they are awesome!!!! Please also note that the Unicorn owners are updating outdoor furniture. That furniture is due to arrive this week-they are also adding rocking chairs to the upper decks, small tables to the balcony and upper deck, a chaise lounge ottoman to the external sitting options. We do hope that you return to St. John soon and get to visit Unicorn when there's not so much rain. Hope to see you soon... The VIVA Team!

    We highly recommend this villa. The location was perfect for our stay; it is very peaceful and private, and the views are incredible. Yet, it is not too remote; we visited Cruz Bay and the North Beaches daily. The villa was very clean and updated; plus the kitchen is fully equipped. We look forward to staying at Unicorn again soon.

    Unicorn is a beautiful, private and upscale villa. It is furnished with comfortable and top-notch amenities. The location has a wonderful view and makes you feel as though you are waking up in paradise every morning. The car ride to this villa is a little rough, but you get used to it quickly. The roads are rugged and narrow with a couple of switchbacks. The villa is equipped with everything you need, from utensils in the kitchen to snorkel gear in the shed. The pool is so relaxing. The beds are ultra comfortable and the guest cottage is really cute. You will enjoy your stay at Unicorn!

  •  
  • Lloyd and I had a great time, were very relaxed and will defintiely come again and definitely stay in the same house! We just love it and it had everything and more you can ask for! We hope to see you all again soon.

    Unicorn was great. I read reviews that the location was difficult to get to, but after touring the island, Unicorn was very accessible with the jeep. The furniture and general decor were excellent and we loved the fully stocked kitchen--everything from Calphalon pans to a coffee maker. Pat was our greeter and she was also excellent--gave us so much information and was very friendly. Unicorn's view was also AMAZING. We loved to watch the deer play in the salt pond below and lost count of how many birds dived into the ocean for fishing. Overall a great exprerience. We would stay at Unicorn again.

    We were happy with the location due to the privacy. Be aware this means you will have to drive everywhere and at night it can be a bit spooky. Since we are not bar people, it is not an issue at all for us. Otherwise can't say enough good things about the tasteful decorations, fully equipped kitchen, beautiful views and cross breezes, and quiet!
