This is a Caribbean gem, with an open living plan, fully equipped kitchen, and furnished in lovely, bright island decor, with a queen sized master bedroom and a queen size bed in the expensive loft bedroom.

Perfect place on a perfect island
This was our first ever trip to the VI, and My wife and 2 college aged daughters absolutely loved our stay at Harbor View! Well appointed as advertised : we used the beach chairs and yeti backpack cooler, and/or smaller, soft cooler everyday on our visits to the stunning beaches all over the island. At the end of our long beach days, we lounged in the lovely pool and deck area enjoying the great view of the harbor and town - as we did every morning and evening from our own little porch. A note : getting a large, packed, suitcase ( or 2 in our case ) up and down the spiral stair case to the loft room is, admittedly, a challenge. HOWEVER this is NOT IN ANY WAY A COMPLAINT. , as we knew the layout beforehand and expected it would be. We made it happen, just used proper caution ( if it’s too much for your party, you might want to shuttle your contents up there as needed, or some other solution). The loft room itself is quite roomy, well decorated and has its own bathroom. A 5 minute walk down the hill puts you in the heart or Cruz bay…another 5 minutes to Mongoose Junction. It’s a steeper , slower hike uphill back home, but we found it a good way to walk off dinner and/or a few drinks. Property caretaker, Tammy, was terrific about communication from Check-in through check out, and at any point in between. We are grateful to the owners for sharing their beautiful home on this beautiful island. We hope to be back one day.

The new standard
In the twelve years of visiting STJ, this slice of heaven just became my forever favorite. The pictures can't do it justice. It's somehow spacious and cozy. Decor is tasteful and lovingly curated (per my designer sister), with little pieces and choices that let you know someone cares. Everything is bathed and gorgeous light during the day, without it getting hot. The layout is amazing! While the spiral stairs won't work for everyone, they are such a beautiful way to access the spacious loft. I was floored by the full bed and bathroom. Plus, the loft is bright with natural light, consistent with the rest of the space. It's not an attic. Beyond this, I love the dedicated areas for eating, relaxing, chatting, and taking in the morning sun and afternoon breezes. Additionally, guests seem to care --- no loud talking, music, or banging. I had the Carnival Festival village for all that goodness! Finally, I can't say enough about how charming and hepful Tammy the property manager is. She was available and always had answers, almost neighborly in her responsiveness. I'm a fan. This is a gem. Cheers to the owner!

Harbor View - Great Visit!
We've stayed at Harbor View at Battery Hill multiple times and never been disappointed. Our visits are up to 3 weeks now and the host has always been great! The site manager keeps you informed and responds quickly also. The place has everything you need for comfort inside and for trips to the beaches, including coolers, chairs, and towels. Harbor View is out go to place on St John as we love the view of Cruz Bay and have easy access to town, shopping, and groceries. We will definitely stay here again! Mark & Kim J

This condo was fully appointed! We didn’t need to use the dishes no one wanted. Every dish looked new! Ha! Everything worked and we had no issues! The space was clean, close to town and exactly as described. We didn’t rent the upstairs but did take a peek and it so inviting!!! The breeze came with the place too! No need for the air although it was nice to have that option. Thank you for having us! We hope you’ll have us again!!

My mom and I stayed a week at this beautiful spot before Christmas. The owners have truly thought of every single thing imaginable that you would need when here. We did not cook, but the kitchen was fully stocked if you wanted to do so. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of linens provided. Great porch for coffee or cocktails, looking out over cruise bay and the town. Place was very spacious and comfortable for the two of us. We will definitely book again!

Great Place!!
This was the absolutely best place for the four of us to stay (myself, husband, adult son and his girlfriend). The location is perfect - just a short walk up a very steep hill from town. This allowed us to go into town without the hassle of looking for parking. The view from the unit is just beautiful. There is a small pool just steps away from the unit. Amenities are amazing - beach tent, Yeti backpack cooler, beach towels, beach chairs, spices, coffee, tea, jugs for cold water, books, games….etc! We would definitely return to this unit if opportunity arises. Loved our stay here!

Great property
We were lucky enough to find a booking here for a quickly planned trip. The owner and manager were very prompt in responses to us about this space given another booking property was deemed unavailable after we booked our airfare ! This property is as advertised that it’s all recently renovated , everything is absolutely spotless , modern and comfortable. There is an amazing view of Cruz Bay from the patio - we are going to miss having our coffee there !! It’s close enough yo walk to town if you want to - understanding its on the top of the hill 😀. Check in and check out were very clear with great communication with the property manager for all questions. It also includes a parking space if you have a jeep rental. This property is a great base for a vacation exploring St John !
