Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed Reef Madness. The property was perfect for us. It had everything we needed. The spectactular views seemed to improve everyday. Thank you for sharing your home!
Thanks so much for your feedback!
my husband and i stayed here for our honeymoon. it was pure perfection!!! we were so in love with this place and will for sure be back! it was totally clean and beautiful and offered such amazing views of the island!!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing your feedback with us! The VIVA Team
We have visited St John at least a dozen times over the last 9 years having rented at least 7 or 8 different villas over that period. Reef Madness rates among the very best experiences we've had. I highly recommend it!! It is a small villa but the layout works really well. It's a great spot for one couple, but it can accommodate 2 couples nicely. It is very romantic, private and has nice views of Coral Bay. The owners clearly know what a Villa vacation is all about. The pool area is intimate and the iPod-ready stereo and outdoor speakers are set up so you can hear your vacation playlists without having to crank it up too loud... (One suggestion I would make is to trim back the vegetation growing up beyond the infinity edge pool. The point of the infinity edge is to see "infinity" beyond the edge of the pool, so seeing bushes grow up 2 feet beyond the start of "infinity" sort of misses the point). I have to say, we were very happy with everyone at Viva. Our greeter was lovely and very professional and the villa was well stocked with all everyday items we needed... Also worth mentioning; the welcome basket was thoughtfully put together with some wonderful goodies. Yes, I know it's a small thing, but it kind of reflects the care that Viva seems to put into their work. .. I can't say that for all the villa rental services we've booked through over the years (hint: some of those places come up ahead of Viva in a Google search) Oh, and about the drive up to the house?? It shouldn't bother an experienced St John villa renter but it could be a little unnerving for a first timer.
Awesome!! Thank you for your feedback! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at our villa and we look forward to having you back again! The Viva Team!
We had a wonderful experience with Viva and Reef Madness. We coule not have asked for anything more. All of our expectations were met. Thank you so much!!!
Awesome...thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We value your input and appreciate that you took the time to complete our Guest Satisfaction Survey. Our guests' commetns are very important to us and we're so excited that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you back soon! The VIVA Team
We went to Reef Madness for our honeymoon. We could not have picked a better place. All details from start to finish were perfect and Viva did an amazing job with seeing to that. Many thanks to all. We will be back. I highly recommend having chef Ted come and prepare dinner too. He was fantastic! And the house offers the best ambiance for a romantic setting. Highly recommended to all our friends and family.
Awesome! I'm delighted you chose Reef Madness for your honeymoon and look forward to having you back for your Anniversary!:) Ted is awesome and highly recommended. Thank you for your feedback!
Overall everything,the location ,the vistas,beaches, were all something we will always remember and hope to make an annual event! We love St John!Its a fabulous getaway. Things which could have made the experience even better and for other guests: It would have been extremely useful to have a list of restaurants which were actually OPEN.I realize it was September but.. At the villa-several things did not work which for this quality of villa really should be.Dishwasher,ice machine,front left burner of the stove.We also found the air conditioning units in the main house and bedrooms very loud. Every time the first floor bedroom unit came on it woke us up. We will be back!
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your most recent stay at Reef Madness. We’re so happy that you enjoyed your visit! a. Thank you for your suggestion of getting lists of open restaurants..this list comes out late in the Season and often changes but we do provide this information to guests upon request. Because the list changes, we’ve found posting it in the villa’s restaurant guide a tiresome process of constantly trying to keep updated. b. Dishwasher/ice maker-earlier in the month, we had a series of brownout/surges that impacted both appliances. We are still waiting on parts to be shipped from the mainland but made sure to send a bag of ice out to the villa. Additionally, the refrigerator has an ice machine that is functional. Regardless, we understand this inconvenience. c. Stove-the stove is functional. The burner cap may have been shifted when cleaning. It has to be completely straight to function optimally. We’ve informed both housekeeper and maintenance staff to include this check of the burner cap in their checklists and also have informed out greeters to avoid this miscommunication in the future. We’re so happy to have your feedback and the opportunity to improve our services at Reef Madness. We look forward to having you back soon to enjoy a completely functional ice maker and dishwasher! The VIVA! Team
Reef Madness is a beautiful villa. We enjoyed our stay very much. The driveway and Seagrape Hill are definitely not for the faint of heart. We believe the view was worth it though. We did have a few hiccups. The half bath toilet leaked, the ice maker stopped working and leaked all over the kitchen, and landscapers showed up when they had been asked not to. Viva was very responsive to problems. I've stayed with another on island villa company that was not, so that was much appreciated. I would stay here again if it were only my husband and I - there just isn't enough comfortable seating in the living area for more than 2 adults.
Thanks so very much for taking the time to provide us with your feedback and we apoligize again that the ice maker went ' kaput' during your stay and the toilet ran...we're still awaiting the arrival of the part for the ice maker but the toilet running was immediately repaired. The views at Reef Madness make the journey up SeaGrape Hill well worth it...and we often say that once you visit St. John, guests can all be certified as 'expert drivers'. We hope you return to our island paradise. The VIVA Team
We could not ask for a better view of Coral Bay. The house was beautiful. Paved road to the house is a plus. We are already planning another trip back next year.
We would love to have you return to Reef Madness! Ask about our repeat guest discount when staying at the same villa for a second time! We look forward to your return. The VIVA Villas Team
This was our third stay at Reef Madness. This one-of-a-kind island home was as beautiful as ever. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can hardly wait for our return.
Thanks so much for yoyur feedback. We're already blockng the dates for your return! The VIVA! Team
Thanks so much for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your recent stay. The VIVA Team!
What a great place to stay. We really had a great time. Loved the view from Reef Madness.
Thank you so much for your feedback. The VIVA Team!
We've been going to St John for over 10 years but never stayed at Reef Madness. It was everything we hoped for. Great house with a beautiful view. Fantatic pool. House has all the extras and little things you can think of. I would highly recommend this villa. It has been the best house we've rented since we starting vacationing in St. John.
Oh ...we're blushing! Thanks so much for providing us with your feedback...you've made our day! We look forward to being your island hosts on your next visit. The VIVA Team!
Beautiful location! Lovely home on paved drive. Beautiful view of Coral Bay. Downstairs shower could use a serious scrub!
Thanks so much for your feedback! We will address the lower shower. THE VIVA TEAM
We loved it! Everything in the villa is high quality and it's obvious the owners put their heart and soul into it. The full house air conditioning was a major plus. We had an issue with the downstairs bedroom air conditioning and within hours Viva had it fixed. From the photos of the living area, we didn't expect it to be cozy but it was. The leather sofa was extremely comfortable but an additional soft chair would have been nice. When others said the drive up to the villa was difficult, we laughed because we're used to St. John roads and villa driveways. They weren't kidding!! Seagrape Hill road is the steepest drive we've ever encountered. It took awhile to get used to but it was well worth it knowing what waited for us on the top of the hill.
Thanks so much for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your recent stay at Reef Madness. The owner's poured much love and detail into Reef Madness and we're honored to be the representatives taking care of this priceless investment of their life-long journey. We're also thrilled you had a fantastic time and look forward to your return visit. The VIVA Team!
The villa is perfect and so comfortable! Great views of the bay and mountains. This was our first visit to St. John and this was a great location for exploring the many beaches on the North, South and East End for hiking, snorkeling and relaxing. Many of the nearby restaurants are really good, so no need to go back to Cruz Bay for dinner & the local grocery stores have everything you would need. Viva service was perfect and the welcome basket was much appreciated. We will be back!
Thanks so much for your feedback! See you soon...The VIVA Team!
This villa was beautiful. It was well equipped and perfectly decorated. The infinity pool was wonderful for cooling off or jumping in after a day at the beach. The drive up the driveway was hard to navigate but it was worth it once arriving at the house. The only thing I would have wished was that there were more couches or lounge chairs to accomodate 4 peoeple watching tv. I would stay there again.
Yeah! Thanks so much for your feedback...
Well, close to heaven being on top of that hill...just pure relaxation. Came back home feeling like melted butter. Ahhhh.......
We're love to hear that...melted butter huh...that's a first for us but we'll take it :) thanks for your feedback.
An absolutely beautiful spot and a lovely home. The views from the villa's porch and pool are amazing.The owners have thought of everything-great kitchen with all amenities and the most comfortable beds!
We agree...thank you for the feedback!
This was our second stay at this beautiful home and it was even better than the first time. The drive up to it is not for the faint at heart, but once you are in the home, you never want to leave. The owners have done an amazing job. Viva Villas provides fabulous service and PROMPT responses to any and all concerns. We will be back.
Thanks so much for your feedback. We thrilled that you enjoyed your visit to St. John and to Reef Madness. We look forward to your return visit! The VIVA Team!
Just want to thank Viva (Jillian) and the owners of ReefMadness, everything was great - cant wait to get back!
Thank You so much for your feedback!
This home is beautiful and has lots of privacy. We enjoyed everything about this home and place. Highly recommend a vehicle rental. Plan on coming back!
Thank you for giving your time to tell us about your recent vacation at Reef Madness. We are working everyday to provide our guests excellent service and a unique vacation experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and it is being shared with operations team and the villa owner so we can continue to make improvements. We look forward to having you visit with us again! Sincerely, The VIVA Team
Thoroughly enjoyed the villa, the view, the pool, the banaquits & the bed was very comfy. The owners did think of everything.
Thanks so much for yourfeedback! Reef Madness is a slice of heaven...
We have traveled to STJ many times. We both love the Coral Bay area and have been looking forward to this trip since Reef Madness first was listed as a rental property. The home owners have furnished the home with every item you could need for a vacation on STJ. The view is simply awesome. The pool is the perfect size to float around and take in the view. The interior is as beautiful as the view outside. We look forward to a return to Reef Madness.
Thanks so much for your valued feedback. We look forward to your return visit soon! The VIVA Team
Thanks for your feedback!
The Reef Madness Villa was amazing! The view from the pool and patio was incredible and size and amenities in the villa were perfect. We definately want to visit St. John again and stay here!
We just love the beauty and comfort Reef Madness offers. This villa is one of our absolute favorites on St. John.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback about Reef Madness. We agree, Reef Madness is impossible not to absolutely love! Please do return soon!
We stayed at Reef Madness for 5 nights in late May 2010. Although the weather was not cooperative, the villa was spectacular and a perfect spot to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Between the infinity pool and the villa's excellent air conditioning system, we were very comfortable. We highly recommend Reef Madness.
THANKS FOR YOUR FEEDBACK!!!!
Reef Madness Villa was a treat to stay in. We would like to make it a yearly destination! The view has little comparison--it was breath taking. The drive up Seagrape Hill might be the only thing that some folks find daunting. The villa's decor and "flow" was beyond measure. One of our favorite villa pastimes was swimming over to the infinity pool edge and watching the happenings in Coral Bay. We would give Reef Madness the highest rating possible.
Thank you so much for your feedback. Please return soon!
This is a fabulous villa. We shared with long-time friends. The house is immaculate, the kitchen well-stocked, and the pool is the highlight of every day! We spent at least 2 hours in the pool each day, with frozen drinks in hand! The location right above Coral Bay couldn't be better.
Fantastic! We're so happy you enjoyed your stay with us. Most guests love the fact that you can float (or stand) in the pool with those awesome views of Coral Bay Harbor and Bordeux mountain in the background-those direct views of Coral Bay Harbor are one of the many things that make Reef Madness special. Please return soon! The VIVA Team!
Fantastic property, great location and perfect views...thanks for your feedback!
We stayed at reef madness in July and returned in January--obviously we love it--only depressed that we won't be able to return in the next 6 months!!! Strongly suggest reef madness!!!
Thanks for your feedback. Please come back soon!
We have vacationed in St John for the last 10 years and this is by far and away the nicest villa we have ever rented. The owners thought of every detail, everything was clean and neat and VIVA's service was excellent. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Thank you for your feedback. Reef Madness is an awesome property and the owners do think of every intricate detail when stocking the property. We even had holdiay decorations this year! Please return soon! The VIVA Team!
We're so happy that you enjoyed your visit!
The house was amazing. The town of coral bay offers several bars and restaurants and the house is about a 10 minute drive from the north shore beaches and 30 minutes to Cruz Bay. Don't forget to rent a jeep or other 4 wheel-drive car- its a must for the driveway and off road beach trails. The house had everything we could want and we were very happy and comfortable. Thank you!
Every attention to detail, comfort and hospitality...just need a gourmet and fresh food delivery service and you would truly be in heaven! Hummingbirds, bay view and mountain breeze...very resortative to mind, body, and spirit.
Beautiful, well-appointed villa - owners thought of everything - very comfortable and private accomodations with fantastic pool & views! The steep drive up the hill to the villa was a little daunting at first, but we quickly got used to it.
what a wonderful experience we had at reef madness for our honeymoon. Viva was nothing but professional, friendly, and very helpful. St. John and Coral Bay speaks for itself!!!! We can not wait to return!!
Very nice house in excellent condition with all the amenities you would need - I would definitely vacate there again!
The only reason we may not recommend this property to a friend would be that if everyone knew what a vacation find this is, we would never be able to book this property again for our return trips to St. John. We can't wait to come back!
Best vacation and villa ever. We are already trying to come back.
Only drawback was the driveway. Very steep and the last switchback a bit difficult and tough on the vehicle. Other than that the house was beautiful and the view was excellent.
This was our second stay at Reef Madness and we enjoyed our time there just as much this year as last. The view, the pool, the furnishings, the maturing gardens etc. are all contributors to a great location to get away from the real world for awhile. We've vacationed in six other Caribbean islands but St. John is our favorite. We like the Coral Bay area for it's proximity to both the north shore and south shore beaches, unique little eaterys, and the addition of a nice little market in Coral Bay is a plus. The island roads are "fun" to drive, torture to run and always give us something to talk about. It is for us an ideal place to perfect the art of doing nothing.
