We had a wonderful vacation visiting St. Johns and staying at Eaglesnest. The location was perfect and the view was breath taking. We loved waking up in the morning and watching the sun rise over the villa. The only issue we think needs improvement would be the bedrooms. While at Eaglesnest, we all had numerous bug bites from both the beaches and at night in our rooms. I feel it would be very helpful if each bed had a netting that enclosed it to protect people while sleeping. We were very happy with how well the kitchen was stocked with utensils, first aid items, and every ammenity needed. The living room could use a new tv which is extremely dated and didnt work 100% for us. I realize that watching tv is not first on the list while on vacation...but watching the morning and nightly news, along with our children winding down at night, was something we liked to do. Otherwise, we were extremely happy with our greeter, the general location of the house and ammenities included.
Thanks so very much for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your recent stay at Eaglesnest. We're extremely happy to hear that the villa was well stocked for your stay. Mosquito netting requires lots of hardware and not all guests like to feel enclosed so instead, the villa's owners have screens on all doors and windows. We will inform them of the 'dated television'. Hopefully for your next visit, we can have a new one in place. The VIVA Team!
Eaglesnest is a beautiful home situated well above the water at the mouth of Gread Cruz Bay. Lovely views. Substantial amenities, including a pantry with sunscreen & bug repellant, as well as a first aid was nice to have enough room to put our grocieries in the pantry,and plenty of plastic containers to store leftovers. These things are almost never provided in the homes we have rented in St.John. Overall a lovely stay.
Thanks so very much for your feedback. We look forward to your return visit to St. John and hopefully ...to Eaglesnest! The VIVA Team!
We had a great week on St. John. Our only complaint was a broken air conditioner in one bedroom that should have been discovered before we moved in. We had to put 4 kids in one bedroom because of the heat. They fixed it in a day or so and everything else was great.
Thank you for your feedback. We deeply apologize that you experienced this. This is always helpful for us to improve our services. We value your opinion and hope to have you stay with us again for future vacations.
The villa is very conveniently located. You can get to the gas station, market, and shops/restaurants in Cruz Bay within a few minutes. Breezes on the porch were great and seemed to keep the insects away. Covered parking is a nice bonus. We will definitely return next year to this villa.
Thanks so much for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your recent stay at Eaglesnest. We agree that the location is fantastic and the views and breezes and covered parking are all positive attributes to Eaglesnest...and look forward to your return visit. PS-we're adding more landscaping later this year and just got other inside 'goodies' as well!!
Very nice, my family really enjoyed eagles nest.
Thanks so much for your feedback. Please return soon! The VIVA Team
This is the second stay for us at Eaglesnest. This property is a great value. Yes, the property is a bit dated with it's interior decor but location and layout more than make up for that. After almost 20 yrs of villa rentals, this one is in our top five and Viva Villas is #1 for us. Very attentive to clients needs, wishes and concerns.
Thanks so much for your feedback. We are humbled by your response. The VIVA Team
We really enjoyed staying at Eaglesnest. It's a perfect family home. The location near town is very convenient. The views from the decks are incredible. The home is really well equipped and was very comfortable for 6 people. This is our favorite on St John.
Thanks so much for your feedback George. We look forward to your return visit! The VIVA Team!
Thanks for taking the time to provide us with the feedback for your recent stay at Eaglesnest Kathleen. We're so happy that this year...like other years at the villa was fantastic and we look forward to your return. The VIVA Team!
Overall the house was fine. We suugest room darkening curtains or blinds in the upper level bedrooms, unless you like to awake at dawn!
Thanks so much for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We've experimented wirh dark colors/ shades of curtain materials but that left those upper rooms super dark throughout the day and that was not liked by some guests...we'll keep researching options that would be satisfactory to all guests.
Eaglesnest is perfect for two couples or a family of four; the Eastern bedroom has the most spectacular sunrises imaginable; close to town, good driveway, no complaints.
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your recent stay at Eaglesnest. We agree that the villa is in a super location, love the ease of use the villa's covered carport provides and also agree that the sunrises are quite spectacular. We're so glad you've seen the positive aspects of Eaglesnest "shine through" and would welcome your return visit to Eaglesnest and to St. John. Happy Holidays from the VIVA Team!
IF THE UNIT HAD A HOT TUB IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A 5! THE WEATHER WAS NOT AS GOOD AS PAST YEARS - BUT THAT'S UP TO THE CREATOR.
Thanks so much for your feedback! We will inform the owners the request for a hot tub!
There were only a few negative things about the house. If I owned it, I would purchase a new refrigerator as it is one of the first things you see. Also, we got bit by some insect during our whole stay and we hoped it wasn't bed bugs - but they loved our legs the most. We used bug spray but it didn't seem to help. I still itch.
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback of your recent stay at Eaglesnest. We welcome your suggestions on how we can improve our services and the amenities at the villa. While the refrigerator functions perfectly, there is one rust spot we’ve observed and will be painting it over as soon as possible. We will also forward your request to the Eaglesnest owners-its important that they do not miss your suggestions as well. On St. John, we have “sandflies” and perhaps one of those bit you-it does itch. We regularly check our mattresses for bedbugs and will be even taking a further step this Season by installing protect-a-beds at all homes. Thank you again for your comments and we look forward to your return visit to our lovely island. The VIVA Team
We had a wonderful time at Eaglesnest. It was even more beautiful in person than on the internet. We were also pleasantly surprised by the goody basket and supplies that were provided. The property is in a wonderful and convenient location. We also appreciated the covered parking and relatively level driveway. I would highly recommend Eaglesnest to anyone looking for a vacation property on St. John. The staff was great and wonderful to work with. They took prompt care of any concerns that we had. Just couldn't have been happier with our choice!
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your stay at Eaglesnest. We're thrilled that you enjoyd your visit and that the villa met your needs and more! The VIVA! Team!
Fantastic!! Thank you so very much for your feedback...
We loved it! great taste, and clearly been updated. The house has every kitchen untensil/gadget necessary to make it a home away from home. We only wished the interior were airconditioned because we ate at home so often and when you use the oven it gets hot, but the breezes on the porch/pool were wonderful. easy trips to market, town, all the best beaches. We loved it!
Thanks so much for your feedback!
Eaglesnest was a great value. It has ample space, including substantial covered decks and a well equipped pool area. The panaramoic view spanned all the way from the Westin beach on Great Cruz Bay across the Carribean to St. Thomas. It was great to conclude every day with dinner for six on the upper deck, prepared in the well-equipped kitchen.
Thanks for your feedback
We just spent 9 nights at Eaglesnest with our 3 children (22, 18 & 7). What a great house! It was perfect for our family. We loved floating in the pool and spending time on the deck. The location is ideal (very easy to get to town) and you will not beat the view! I was also very pleased with the customer service from Viva. Every person we came in contact with was friendly and helpful. I would absolutely stay at Eaglesnest and use Viva again in the future.
Yeah!!! Thanks for your feedback. We look forward to your return.
During our 2009 stay on St. John we were able to preview this villa and we are so glad that we chose it for our 2010 stay! The location was outstanding (we love the proximity to Cruz Bay) and the villa was very comfortable (the breeze on the deck cannot be beat)...well appointed and clean. We enjoyed it so that we have already reserved it for our 2011 Caribbean vacation. VivaVillas were easy to work with and quick to answer our needs. You would not be disappointed if you rented this villa and/or any villa thru Viva!
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We look forward to your return visit in 2011!
My husband and I got married in St. John in April, and we stayed at the Eaglesnest Villa. It was AMAZING! It blew us away, the location, the pool, the view, EVERYTHING. We are definitely going back. We hope that we will be able to bring our kids there one day, it would have also been perfect for an entire family.
Thanks for taking the time to provide us w/ your feedback! We enjoyed having you as guests...the almost a fullyear that we've gotten to know you both has been a pleasure to the entire VIVA Team and we look forward to the opportunity of assisting you in the future.
Dylan was a great driver who should be recommended to all guests
Thanks for your feedback, Charles. We look forward to your return visit next year at Eaglesnest!
Enjoyed Eaglesnest and highly recommend the villa. Great views, convenient location and very good amenities. The Villa is comfortable and well equipped. All we had to bring was our bathing suits and snorkel gear! Also appreciate Viva Villas. Their website is one of the best. They were easy to work with and provided helpful information which made our trip easier and more enjoyable.
Thanks for your feedback. Eaglesnest still is one of our favorites here on St. John. The VIVA Team!
If we return to St John, we will return to Eaglesnest. The house is very well-situated: close to Cruz Bay so it's easy to get to restaurants and grocery stores, but it feels far away. The view is gorgeous and the outdoor space is superb. The decor in the indoor space feels a bit dated, but who cares? The situation is fantastic and the layout works very well -- central kitchen and great room with bedrooms on either side. Worked perfectly for our family of four with children ages 3 & 5. Viva was also great. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your feedback. We're so happy that your stay was perfect. Please return soon! St. John awaits!! The VIVA Team
Better than the pictures on the website. Very private and quiet. Definitely going again next year.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We're excited that you enjoyed your visit to Eaglensest. See you soon! The VIVA! Team!
The only negative comment would be that the pool was cloudy almost the entire time we were down there.
Thanks for being a repeat guest of Eaglesnest. We're happy that you enjoyed your recent visit! We're sorry to hear that the pool was cloudy and are looking into it ASAP!
Thank you for your comments. We're happy that you enjoyed your visit at Eaglesnst and in St. John. We do agree the carport at the villa makes for easy parking and optimal coverage and privacy. Hope to see you again soon! The VIVA! Team
This was our second stay at Eaglesnest and probably won't be our last...need I say more? It is a very clean and comfortable. It has spectacular views and is very convienent to town.
We had a wonderful vacation. Eaglesnest worked out great for our trip. I thought I read that the lower bedrwoom had a mini fridge and microwave and it did not. We had to make some changes to who was sleeping were because of that but everything else was great. I would def, stay here again. Great value, this isn't a new home but it is in good condition. The view is priceless.
While the property has never had these added amenities in the lower bedroom, they are worth considering. We will pass along your suggestions to the owners!
This home was perfect for our family. It had a beautiful(warm) pool. Views were amazing! Great location to town. Home was fully stocked! Viva Villa agents were the best I have ever delt with.. warm/friendly/always available. Loved having the car port for the days it rained! Cleaning service was included (once a week - this was wonderful!!) The ONLY reason I did not rate the general condition a 5 was because the living area was a little small - furniture was rather outdated and there were bar stools at the kitchen counter that you could not use b/c they were too small. However the dining area had a very large table with comfortable chairs. The 2 large decks made up for the small living area - as we spent most time outside enjoying the pool or breath taking views!! It was nice to have wireless internet access too! Bedrooms were air conditioned & house had plenty of ceiling fans. Full size washer and dryer in separate laundry room. It was also nice to have the close line available on the first floor deck to hang towels. Would have liked the grill to be by the pool -- it is off the kitchen area. Overall we loved staying at Eagles Nest and would highly recommend to anyone!!
We gave top ratings to all questions, but wanted to give much higher ones - especially to the property manager and the location/view. Instead of a 5, we would like to give those double or more!! Could not be happier. This was our 3rd time at Eaglesnest and we look foreward to more return visits.
We love Eaglesnest but my husband and I stayed in the bedroom by the pool this time and had a problem with mosquitos in our room. Our guests who stayed there last year had the same problem.
Thanks for your feedback. We will look into this immediately.
The Viva team did an outstanding job of pre-sale, pre-visit, and visit planning and logistics. The property was well represented and better than I expected (i.e. not over-sold). The materials about the area were complete and helpful. And - best of all - the value (yes even in this economy) was outstanding. Congratualtions and thank you!
We had a great time. One thing we would suggest is to replace the beach chairs as they are old and keep slipping. And the sliding door on the downstairs room needs to be replaced it keeps slipping off the runner. Other than that it was great.
