We had a great stay at the Salty Turtle! The property manager was super helpful and showed us around the property once we arrived. The house was super clean and beds very comfortable.

We selected the Salty Turtle based on the reviews, location, and amenities. It did not disappoint! The house was fabulous and exactly as advertised. The pool and deck area were amazing with fabulous sunsets. While the roads and driveway were a bit challenging - very steep and narrow, after a few days we had it mastered. Definitely plan on coming back!! ##### Roberta (Bobbi) H. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily W. 1 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Villa The Salty Turtle had all the comforts of home, with some exceptional twists. The pool was stunning and very much welcome after a long day on the beach. The housekeeper Nellie was extremely kind and gave us some great advice. Good food is found on the island. The roads were dicey at best. We loved our stay! ##### Emily W. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul V. 10 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Salty turtle Very new and clean property. Pretty pool was not used much by us due to a couple of rain days but when landscaping is fully completed it will be really really nice. Like many places in St John, you need a jeep lol, but we will certainly come back to this property ##### Paul V. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Don S. 17 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Soooo relaxing We had 4 people in our group and it was just right. Even though it is a three bedroom, I think 6 people would be tight. The pool is amazing! It really surprised me that it was over 6’ deep. The property is not finished yet. There is wood temporary railing still up, the patio ceiling is partially finished, the sliding door from the living room is VERY difficult to open/close (it almost feels like it is going to break and cut someone’s hand). Would I stay here again? Absolutely! Even with the updates/repairs needed I would definitely stay here. ##### Don S. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Benjamin M. 4 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Luxury living with all the amenities The Salty Turtle might be the best value on the island. This cute little gem was just what my family needed. Unlike so many other tropical homes this one is not an empty tile and concrete box. It’s got plenty of plush furnishings and rugs and everything is of fantastic quality. The handover was simple and straightforward and Nelly was more than accommodating. The pool was a fantastic bonus and the location was right above Cruz bay with a fantastic water view. Check out the whole St John inventory and it becomes quickly clear that this is one of the best. Especially considering the price is right in the sweet spot. ##### Benjamin M. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sarah b. 6 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great place with a gorgeous view! We had a lovely stay at this property! Very clean, comfortable, and so cute! The view in itself is worth the stay. Great location, just a few minutes drive to the market and to town. The one thing I wish I'd known smis that the listing said there was a pool area with a lounge and said you could lounge by the pool and watch a movie, etc... the pool was recently just finished and the landscaping/lounge area are still being constructed, so non-existent. Definitely should have been noted. Therefore the pool area wasn't used much. Also, the roads are pretty steep and windy getting up to the property, so we were glad to have had a Jeep. We didn't know before we had already rented, but the property owner or management have a referral for a place right in the island to rent from. We will definitely go that route next time! Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would love to come again when the construction is finished! ##### sarah b.

This property is a gem- so close to shopping and restaurants and north shore beaches. The house itself is well set up with everything you need and comfortable sleeping. The real show stopper is the outside area. We came back every evening and enjoyed the pool and the sunset- easily the best part of our stay. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6095b8f3-5728-4abc-939f-218d535d0019-1752059638096.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Susan W.

Of note the house does not have window blinds- only very minimal solar shades that let in surrounding property lights at night and allows sun to wake you up as soon as the sun rises. If you need dark sleeping rooms- this is not the property for you. ##### Marian A.

I have stayed in many vrbos that the listing and photos exaggerate the reality of the property. This home is was the exception! This property exceeded my expectations in cleanliness, and beauty. It is generously equipped in the kitchen and with beach chairs and coolers. We also appreciated the nice beach towels and fluffy bath towels. Having a washer, dryer, grill, and dishwasher for our use was very nice, too. Our family of five didn’t want to leave. After very busy days out hiking, snorkeling and exploring, this home was the perfect place for us to return. I can’t wait come back to this property! ##### Lissa P.
