St. John Annaberg Plantation Hotels

"The views from the deck are stunning, a perfect place to hang out next to the pool and the patio at the rear of the property. Everything was very comfortable and the owner suggested a local boat rental place that was very helpful. A little bit of an issue with water pressure and temp but Leo helped get the temp back up. Only other issue was locking ourselves out of our bedroom one night. It took multiple tries to get the right pressure on the door etc. in order to get back in. "

"Host was very welcoming. All items were as described. And in working order."

"Absolutely stunning view any time of the day. The cottage was very comfortable. We had all that we needed for a wonderful place from which to explore St. John."

"Everything was wonderful! Great view, house & host. "

"Our host, Jill met us on the rode and drove us to the cottage. I'm not sure if we would have found it on our own even with GPS. The cottage is nestled in the woods in a beautiful setting. The cottage itself was very nice and comfortable and cozy with a wonderful view of Coral Bay. Plenty of storage space for clothes. The 2 wrap around porches were a great place for morning coffee or sunset happy hour. Being on an island we lost power a couple of times but not for more than an hour or two. Also be aware there are a number of steps to get to the cottage. Overall, a great find."

"Loved the view. The cottage was stocked with everything we needed "

"Very pretty place to stay with wonderful views! Only downside was the washing machine didn’t work. I would definitely stay here again."

"This is a truly wonderful place to stay, and we had an amazing vacation. The property itself is beautiful—the view from the deck is stunning (though slightly less private than the photos appear, but not a problem), the kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, the king bed is comfortable, the outdoor shower is a fun touch, and we enjoyed all the wildlife around the property. The property manager was also wonderful and worked hard to make our stay enjoyable.That said, I think the listing details are a bit outdated and could use an update to better manage expectations. We switched to (and splurged on) this property specifically because the listing mentioned a heated saltwater pool in addition to a hot tub. In reality, there is a hot tub and a regular (unheated) pool. The pool also did not seem to be saltwater. While this didn’t ruin our stay and is understandable, it was disappointing since the heated saltwater pool was a major factor in our decision and the higher price point. I personally didn’t use the pool since it was a bit chilly for me, but my husband enjoyed a refreshing post-beach dip most days while I sat out and enjoyed the view with him. We realize now all we really need are those beautiful St. John beaches anyway.Overall, we loved staying here and would absolutely recommend it to others. If a heated pool isn’t important to you—and you don’t mind the adventurous (but totally manageable) drive up the switchbacks—you’ll have a fantastic time. Great location too."

"Mandevilla is great!! Beautiful home and views over coral bay, five minutes to the beaches, and a quick drive into either town. Have stayed here twice and will again for sure."
