Absolutely Stunning House in St. John

5 of 5
Submitted: April 22, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
My family of four were lucky enough to stay at Starstruck for a week. We couldn't have asked for more -- the house was well stocked and appointed, pool was a pleasure, hot tub with views of a starry night etc. And, as others have said, the view from the house is unparalleled. It is literally take your breath away.

I think its also worth mentioning that the house is well located -- on the hills above town which gives it nice views/breeze but you are only 10 minutes from being in town or from getting to the north shore beaches.

We hope to return one day.

Perfect Vacation

Our family just returned from a week stay at Starstruck. From the oldest 72 to the youngest 12 everyone absolutely loved the house. The layout of the house is really nice in that it gives everyone plenty of space to spread out and a wonderful living area and full length deck area at the back of the house to enjoy the great views and sunsets together. Jay could not have been easier to work with and has a genuine concern for his guests. Location was great, just a short drive to Cruz Bay and many great beaches. I would highly recommend Starstruck and hope to be back soon.

We loved every day of our stay in Starstruck. Views from the veranda are beautiful and it is a perfect place for breakfast or dinner at sunset. The layout of the house is great with four bedrooms, well equipped kitchen and leaving area. The vila offers full privacy. The pool is big enough for short lap swimming.

We would highly recommend and we'll stay at Starstruck when we return. Yvonne and Przemek

Best Villa

Submitted: March 22, 2012 Stayed: February 2012
My wife and I stayed at Starstruck for 2 weeks. Have been to other villas, but this was definitely the best. Privacy was one of our concerns and the pool area was perfect. The home decor and cleanliness were excellent! Would highly recommend and we'll stay at Starstruck when we return.
Thanks,

So Excited!

I am leaving for St. John in just over 2 weeks and I couldn't be more excited to stay at the Starstruck Villa! Jay has been so helpful with guiding us through our planning. He has helped us with rental cars, where to grocery shop, and how to get over to the island from St. Thomas. The 8 of us girls are excited to leave freezing Boston/Cape Cod and get down to Starstruck to enjoy all it has to offer!! The reviews below are so great it makes us look forward to this trip even more! I will definitely update my review once I am back and I'm sure it will be a glowing one just like all of the others.

Lovely Villa

5 of 5
Submitted: November 15, 2011 Stayed: November 2011
Stayed at Starstruck for a girl's week. The house was lovely and well-appointed. Everything was clean and well maintained with the tiny exception of a few of the beach chairs. It was wonderful to have air conditioned bedrooms! The view from the back of the house was spectacular! Jay was beyond helpful, advising us on rental cars, restaurants, beaches, etc.
Know that you WILL need a rental car and that the driveway is very very steep - we were told most cabs will not drive down. Also the roads on St. John can be quite challenging - so have a brave driver in your group!

Starstruck - Birthday Celebration

5 of 5
Submitted: July 28, 2011 Stayed: February 2011
For several years I have wanted to vacation in St. John with our family, so for my 50th birthday, my husband surprised me with a family trip to St. John to celebrate my birthday. Starstruck was the perfect villa for our family and could easily have accomodated another family of 4 had we been vacationing with other family or friends. The villa was beautifully appointed, there was not a detail that was overlooked inside or outside. Our daughters age 20 and 23 loved the privacy of their bedroom, as did we!! The bathrooms are gorgeous and spacious, complete with stunning views! We spent most of our time at the villa on the porch drinking in all the views as we had our coffee, or enjoyed drinks and appetizers before dinner. When we did manage to tear ourselves away, we had everything we needed for the beach - cooler, chairs, snorkel gear, and towels. It was great not having to worry about renting or purchasing those beach necessities. There are no bad beaches on St. John, they are all beautiful. We also had a wonderful day on the "Bad Kitty", our first stop was Virgin Gorda, lunch, snorkeling, and then the last stop of the day was to Jost Van Dyke home of the Soggy Dollar bar. We loved our time on St. John, the villa was perfect and we look forward to returning again soon.

We just returned from our first trip to St. John and stayed at Starstruck for all 7 nights of our vacation. Starstruck far surpassed our expectations. The house is absolutely beautiful with a perfect layout. The gorgeous kitchen is fully equipped, the great room is beautiful, the furniture is beautiful with plenty of dining seating options. The pool is fantastic. Each bedroom is gorgeous with a huge beautiful bathroom and they are all separate from one another, providing a great deal of privacy. The pictures cannot do justice to the views from the balcony, great room and bedrooms – you even get the million dollar views from each shower. It is just breathtaking.
Starstruck is in a wonderful location and provides awesome beach chairs and snorkel gear, there are even lounge floats for the pool! Jay is a great guy. He was meticulous with building, decorating and stocking of Starstruck and it shows. He was extremely responsive to all of our questions.
We are already trying to pin down dates for our next stay at Starstruck. I can’t say enough about our stay here. The memories will last forever.
