Quick weekend getaway
We loved everything about our stay here. The place was perfect for a quick weekend get away for two. The view is beautiful and the place had all you need for the beach. The only thing we found was that the shower was cold and the main bedroom light was out, but everything else was great. We would recommend this place and will stay again someday. Thanks for a great stay.

Amazing place. Lovely shower/coffee-drinking view. A little dicey getting to town on foot, and not always easy to locate a taxi from here, but the place itself is perfect. Super comfy bed. Would stay here again (but also would rent a car) 😊

Nice little place.
My daughter and I stayed here for two nights. It was not as close to the "action" in Cruz Bay as I had imagined but it is very close to the Westin (we booked an excursion leaving from there). Note that St John is very hilly and the roads to this property are no exception. Just be prepared - I'm glad we only had to do it for two days.

Cozy, quiet and beautiful
The property is located on a hill side just east of cruz bay. I read on the description it is on a very steep road being from Colorado i underestimated that. It is one of the steepest roads ive ever seen and is not to be taken lightly. The papaya suite appears to be the cheapest and smallest of the properties. If someone is staying in the honeymoon suite i believe you would be able to hear the guests above you. It was clean cozy ,no washer and dryer. No privacy within but no visible neighbors.

Fake Scents we’re Unwelcoming
Place was as pictured. Thank you for the two beach towels to borrow. However, upon opening the door, we were gassed with all the artificial scents that are used to spray and/or apply/clean the room. What are you trying to cover up? When you walk into a place that smells really bad you cannot not wait to get out. It’s like we paid for a Marriott but got a Motel 6. Fake scents are endocrine disrupters =bad for our health.

A Welcome Relief
A welcome relief after an unanticipated start, Avis (STT) gave our Jeep away. With our free-wheeling plans dashed, we had to use taxis. In the unit was a list of Taxi contacts along with other useful info. All the taxi drivers we contacted were very helpful, especially Moses.
The unit was delightfully quaint and very clean. In the refrigerator we found two “welcoming” St. John Brewery beers, just what we needed. Each night we’d watch the sunset and each morning enjoy breakfast on the lanai. We loved the variety of hummingbirds in the evening around the property and the well-stocked grocery store nearby. Plus local hosts were very responsive to our questions.

The Papaya Suite is a cute, comfortable unit not too far from Cruz Bay. The property is hidden away so it’s very quiet and dark at night. There will be animal sounds and maybe animal sightings. It was very clean and had a nice little kitchenette.
It is theoretically walkable to Cruz Bay but it is up a very steep hill. I wouldn’t recommend walking unless you’re in decent shape and definitely not with luggage. Also, St. John is not very pedestrian friendly (few sidewalks) but sometimes nice people will offer you a ride.
One warning, the lock on the door to the inner room didn’t always unlock when I turned the handle. I accidentally locked myself out. Luckily it unlocked after a few minutes of jiggling the handle. I would leave the keys in the screened room.

We had an excellent stay in the Papaya suite! Like a few other reviewers have said, we wish we'd gone with the Honeymoon suite (Papaya is below it) for the better view and open air deck. Papaya has a screened in porch and the deck above it extends to partially block the view of the sky, but it was still really nice (woke up to a view of a rainbow one morning). The unit has a very comfy bed, beach chairs, cooler, sunscreen, coffee, a toaster oven, microwave, plates/cups/utensils, and a lot of towels!
A few things to note:
*Bring earplugs. The tree frogs are loud and they might keep you up. We were used to them by the 3rd night and I miss them now.
*If you're going to drive on the island, get a jeep or something with 4WD. The roads up to the property are STEEP. We rented a mid-sized sedan (given a Chrysler 300, which was RWD and probably the worst choice to drive on St. John) and we could make it up the roads but spun the tires each time. We also couldn't park in the gravel parking lot (almost got stuck trying to back up), so we just parked on the road. It rained 1 day and we didn't take the car anywhere, it wouldn't have handled the hills when they were wet.
*We walked into town for dinner each night, then took a taxi back up. The taxi was $7/person back up. We found the best way to direct taxis was to say we’re next door to The Hills. Heads up that taxis are hard to get after 10PM.
Overall, really nice stay and would definitely recommend. Thank you for having us!

Did not like that the unit is directly under another unit. Walking into town is only for those who do not mind jumping out of the way of traffic. Other wise, the unit was very clean and well equipped. The property managers promptly responded to a problem with a power surge and resolved the issues promptly and professionally.

Great affordable vacation place for two!!
Loved all the extras. Beach chairs, beach towels, cooler, bug spray and sunscreen. Our friends stayed at the Hills next store... Which made this smaller and more affordable for a party of two ♥️ We also LOVED the scenery of from the porch shower and screened in porch.
Thank you! We will be back!!

We really enjoyed sitting on the porch every morning and evening. Beautiful view!
The property was very clean and had everything we needed. I didn’t realize there wasn’t a stove for cooking but we did work around that easily with the grill, microwave and toaster oven.

Morning😍. Sitting at the counter with my coffee looking out over the bay. My favorite part of my day at home is morning looking over my backyard, but the view from Papaya Suite was hard to beat. Went to all of the stores hunting for Kcups for the Kuerig. None to be found. I finally looked in a kitchen cupboard and found a supply. It is the little things that make this place perfect.

Gorgeous views!
Wonderful, cozy suite on St. John. Amazing views for morning coffee, and even a decent sunset view when the clouds cooperate! Fabulous comfortable bed, and enough kitchenette items to make a little breakfast before heading out for they day (toaster/microwave/blender).
A small warning: The hill to the house requires confidence! We rented a small vehicle, and driving it up the hill is NOT for the faint of heart. Renting a 4WD vehicle may be for the best, but the little Toyota Yaris survived.
