Chocolate Hole holiday villa

We are about to return to Meritage for the fourth time -- our sixth trip to St John. Why? We love it there. It gives us everything we need in a vacation. If you have been to the island, it goes without saying, just look at any photo. But why Meritage?
You arrive in Cruz Bay and are greeted by Gus(property manager) who will get you situated at the house,orient you to the house and island,(where to eat,buy food,help you with car rental(if you haven't done that before arrival)and help you to schedule anything else you may want during your stay).
Within minutes you arrive. The house is beautifully decorated and laid out just as it should be. The rooms all have private entrances on different levels or directions , which is great when you need your down time. They have all the amenities and AC...which is important really only for sleeping after days at all the different beaches . There are multiple comfortable seating areas to gather and gaze out at the ocean. This is just a great place to go to reconnect with friends and family but still have spots to read and rest.
It is easy to find food and beverage for great vacationing. There are many fine restaurants (ask Gus) all easy to get to but you can also just pick up supplies for your own barbecue,or take out from Joe's BBQ. My favorite is: Returning to the house after a day in the sun and salt. and easing back into the pool(wash off that salt please!) to get rid of the heat that felt so good all day. The spectacular sunsets with the islands in silhouette. Or maybe the hike down to Hart Bay to look for seashells. Making Key lime pie from the tree outside the back door (the ripe ones are on the ground).Taking an all day boat ride,snorkeling and beach bar hopping (ask Gus). Getting a massage in your own room (ask Gus) No he doesn't do THAT! but he can help you arrange it. Watching the iguanas in the tree tops below. This property has everything for a memorable, relaxing vacation: necessities, well thought out amenities, and aesthetics. Everyone that has joined us there wants to go back including those returning with us in November. If you want the home sweet home feeling in the islands, this is it. Thank you, Thank you!
