Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amber B. 28 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mixed review I have mixed feelings about this VRBO. The good: the unit itself is very nice. The beds are great, bathrooms great, kitchen etc… and it was all clean. I have no complaints about the interior of the unit. So if that’s what you’re looking for, then this is a great place.The bad: for the price, I expected a lot more from the pool area. We never even ended up using it because it just wasn’t clean. Even when they cleaned it, it wasn’t clean. I tried to clean it myself but ultimately, it just wasn’t worth the efforts… the patio chairs are old and need replaced or at least a good cleaning… The beach chairs offered are stored on the patio uncovered so they’re not something I was interested in using (they were of course dirty and salt water in the air doesn’t do favors for anything). That same patio has two chairs on it but they also needed a good cleaning. Basically, everything inside is fine, everything outside was less than stellar in my opinion.Hosts are responsive and kind, no complaints with the service either. Location is close to everything but if you have a vehicle just plan on tight parking (that’s the entire island though) Would I stay here again? That would completely depend on what else is available. I really like having private a pool to use so if I found something else with a pool, i would probably try that first. ##### Amber B. Stayed 10 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peggy S. 12 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cruz Bay Wonderful condo We stayed at Stella Maris about a month ago for several days. We can’t wait to go back. This condo was perfect in every way. Super close to Cruz Bay and the water front restaurants, High Tide and The Beach Bar. You definitely could walk from the condo. We are seniors and we decided easier for us to take a vehicle. The condo was super clean! The beds were very comfortable. The rooms were spacious. The living room and dining area were perfect for the four of us. The pool was right below us and was refreshing after a long day of site seeing. It was nice that someone before us had left a bunch of snacks and drinks in the fridge. If you are planning a trip to St. John, I definitely recommend that you stay in the Cruz Bay area. We stayed a week on the other side of the island in a villa, high up on a hill/mountain overlooking Coral Bay. Yes it was gorgeous. But we ended up spending too much time driving back to Cruz Bay to the restaurants or the North Shore Beaches. Next time we go, hopefully we will stay at Stella Maris again. Thank you Bridget for sharing your little piece of heaven. ##### Peggy S.
