“A lovely place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

We spent a week at Starlit escape with our parents and young kids and we were enjoy it every minute. The house is incredible, lovely furnishing and with an impressive tower from which you can see the green slopes of the island and a piece of the ocean as well as stars (if it's not cloudy).

The house is equipped with all the things you need to have a very relaxed time with kids and for eldest one (books, movies, guides). The pool is lovely, the right size and depth. The yard is beautiful as well.

The owners are great and very helpful and kindly gave us tips about beaches.

Keep in mind that the road to the house is bumpy, but you get used to it very quickly.

We would back to this place again

“20-30 minutes from everything!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2011

Make sure you rent a jeep or some other off roading vehicle if you are staying at Starlit Escape. All the needed items are here - towels, cooking utensils, flashlights, internet, tv, dvd player, great tour books, etc. Unless you are a monopoly or chess fan, bring your own games (if you think you will play them) and if you think you will watch movies you may want to bring your own movies.

Everything is super clean and gorgeous at Starlit Escape. Breezy and airy and fans in every room, even the bathrooms (which I SO WANT to do when i get home!). It's very close to almost all of the east side beaches. No real need to go to cruz bay with so much great stuff nearby. Found the two markets to be relatively the same prices, but we stopped at Food Market on St. Thomas for most of our non perishables. Lilly's had 1.50 gallons of water, but we got frozen chicken at love market.

Rooftop deck at Starlit Escape is super awesome for eating dinner and watching the amazing stars.

Hammock is great, but make sure to bring bug spray.

We stayed at Starlit Escape in May and not much fruit on site; we did manage to hack off a pineapple that was yummy. Flowers smell awesome! Just a quick jaunt around the grounds is a beautiful sensation for the smelling senses.

Things I wish I brought with me to St John: camping water filter, ziplock bags, granola bars, socks, dvd to burn pictures onto so i don't accidentally delete or lose them, visor/hat, hmmm...

“Truly a Starlit Escape!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 March 2010

What an amazing home to spend our 20th aniversary. The villa was perfect for our family. Having everyone under one roof was a comfort to me. From the fresh pineapple each morning to the happy hour tower every evening made our days complete. The beautiful furnishings, and extra touches made us feel at home. Nothing was over looked. Plush towels, beach chairs, coolers, and beach bags made our 10 day stay so enjoyable. We hope to return one day. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

“Truly a great place to escape it all!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2009

We spent the week of spring break in St John at the Starlit Escape. We could not have been happier with our choice to rent the house! It had EVERYTHING that we needed to have a nice relaxing week and it really felt like our home away from home. We spent many nights chillin' on the patio enjoying the cool Caribbean breezes and taking full advantage of the grill and kitchen. After spending the day at the beach, it was nice to come home and take a dip in the pool. If you are looking for a quiet, secluded location this is your place! It is about a half hour drive from the ferry docking station which is where most of the shops and restaurants are located. We didn't mind this one bit since there is a local market just around the corner from the house and a handful of places to eat nearby. You can be to any one of the amazing beaches on St John within just a few minute drive (note that practically anywhere you stay on the island you will have to drive to a beach since there are not any massive resorts along them).

Jared was very helpful in making sure we had everything that we needed and to make our stay the best it could possibly be. The house was spotless and furnished quite nicely. It was the perfect spot to spend a week with my mom and sister catching up on life. We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit St John.

“One of Our Favorite Vacations!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2009

We stayed at the Starlit Escape for 2 weeks in April 2009. The villa was well equipped and absolutley spotless!! The happy hour tower was a fun and secenic treat to be enjoyed by adults and children!! The pool was great for cooling down and relaxing and the hammocks were the perfect touch. Jared and Angie are very pleasant and hospitable, they went the extra mile for us!! They are knowledgeable about the Island and can give great guidance on what to do and where to eat, do not miss ZoZo's - it is by far the best restaurant on the Island and in fact one of the best meals my family has ever had!! There are many great places to eat in Coral Bay close by the villa, such as The Shipwreck Lounge (very fresh fish), Sweet Plantains, Miss Lucy's and The Donkey Diner for Breakfast. It was nice knowing we had Jared and Angie within reach for any questions or advice we needed. My family agrees that we would retrun to St. John again and return to the Starlit Escape Villa!!
