Some excerpts from the website of Holiday Villa Great Expectations that might be useful
While there are numerous St John villas, only Great Expectations has 7 spacious air conditioned bedrooms, 7-1/2 private bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers, 3 swimming and wading pools, 2 hot tubs, and 1 private basketball and tennis court plus free WiFi, dual sunrise & sunset views and amenities of a first-class villa. For your St John vacation, Great Expectations is one of St John's most popular villas for families, couples, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and other special celebrations. You can count on great value at Great Expectations by contacting the owners directly; we can offer you our lowest rates and tell you about our specials including "Grandparents Stay Free" and "Bride and Groom Stay Free" as well as discounts for rental cars, photography, catering, and boat rentals especially arranged for our guests. Great Expectations is one of the most popular vacation rental homes on St John for friends and families as attested to by the comments from our previous guests including one of our favorite Guest Book entries "...the best damn villa on St. John!"
Great Expectations is one of St. John's most popular villas for couples vacationing together as well as families with children of all ages. Perhaps best of all, when we do not have to pay a rental agent fee, we pass the savings directly onto our guests with special discounts and offers including "Grandparents Stay Free" and "Bride and Groom Stay Free"! Great Expectations is different than most private villas which usually have just one Master bedroom for the owners with the best amenities and views, and smaller, less desirable bedrooms designed for the kids often located on a lower floor with low ceilings and little or no view. In contrast, Great Expectations was architecturally-designed to have, not one, but four equal Master bedrooms, each with private patios and spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea.
Each of the 4 spacious, air-conditioned Master bedrooms has a private bathroom with double sink vanities and indoor/outdoor showers. Each has high cathedral ceilings with skylights, ceiling fans and sofit lighting adding to the sense of spaciousness. Each is furnished with custom-made teak furniture from Bali including a California (extra long) King-size bed which can be converted into 2 Twin-size beds and each bedroom can comfortably accommodate a foldaway bed or portacrib for children (no charge when staying in the same room as parents).
At Great Expectations no one is in a less desirable bedroom on a lower level as all 4 Master bedrooms in the Main Villa are on the same level in 2 buildings separated by the Great Room in a third building with a large living room, gourmet kitchen, and indoor and outdoor dining areas. An exercise room, The Club Room has a trundle bed (two twin beds) and can be used as a 5th bedroom for one adult or a couple of teenagers (perfect to get away from the others and vice versa).
Great Expectations is framed by the extraordinary "double" east/west views with both the sunrise and the sunset afforded this remarkable site. The villa is located on the south shore of St. John, less than a 5 minute drive on paved roads to town (Cruz Bay) where the ferry arrives from St Thomas and 10 minutes to the famous, white sand beaches of the U.S. National Park. There are 2 beaches within walking distance of the Villa. The closest beach for swimming and fabulous snorkeling is just a short walk (or drive) to Chocolate Hole - a sandy beach with calm, protected water on the west side of the villa. Great Expectations sits about 100 feet above Hart Bay beach which is accessible by a path from the villa. It is a very secluded beach; you cannot get to Hart Bay by car or even boat as the coral reef comes right up to the shore so it is worth the visit. Guests not wishing to venture down to Hart Bay beach can still enjoy from the Villa the magnificent views and listen to the waves breaking on the beach below.
The villa is equipped with all the amenities of a first-class villa including free WiFi and cable TV, custom-made teak furniture and carvings from Bali and, we think, very tastefully decorated with original paintings, sconces and even a native mural (written-up in the local papers). Our solar energy panels and our graywater irrigation system, make Great Expectations one of the only Green St John villas. Great Expectations does not pretend to be fancy, just very, very special! This might be why a guest of Great Expectations was answering the phone: "Heaven"!
