This seriously might be reason enough alone to go there instead!

We were just there and had SO MANY car issues. Seconding the nail down the car first rec. Also even prepaying for your airport car res still doesn’t help, they still made us wait multiple hours.

Big +1 on the rental car issues. BTDT at the St. Thomas airport. If you are going to go to St. John, better to see if you can find a rental on St. John and take the passenger ferry over. That way if there are issues at least you are on St. John already and can take a taxi until a car is available, vs. stuck at STT.

Op here we have been there twice before. We went for the beautiful beaches and to relax. Loved having a private villa and cooking food there


Can you please stop using the word "villa"? It's obnoxious. You're not going to Tuscany. House is fine. Thanks.


Villa is the commonly used term for the rentals on St John. Please educate yourself.


Doesn't make it any less ridiculous.

We've been to both. Out of the two, Harbour Island has better beaches and food. For food, we enjoyed:

The Landing
Dunmore
Coral Sands
Sip Sip
Acquapazza (surprisingly better than expected).
