“My family of four stayed at the Amore Loft Apartment from June 3-6, 2021, and it was perfect for us. The beautiful building was just steps from town, and we felt right at home as if we were visiting relatives. Everyone was so kind and helpful. I highly recommend it!”

“We stayed at the Artistic Villa Loft Apartment for a week in January 2019 and loved it! Donald was incredibly welcoming, even with our late arrival. The room was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The location was perfect—just a short walk to Cruz Bay. We rented a car for a day to explore the island, but taxis to the beaches were always easy to find. Thank you for a memorable stay!”

“We had an amazing week at the Amore Loft Suite! Days were spent exploring St. John’s beautiful beaches and evenings enjoying the vibrant nightlife—just a quick, easy stroll back to the loft. The Amore Loft is perfect for couples or anyone looking to stay close to the action in Love City. The Artistic Villas staff was outstanding— helpful, friendly, and dedicated to making our stay comfortable.”

“We stayed at the Ocean Garden Villa and loved everything about it—spacious, clean, and beautifully organized, with a stunning garden surrounding the property. It’s perfect for a family with kids or two couples and just a 15–20 minute drive to the famous North Shore beaches. Thank you for taking such great care of us. We hope to return one day!”

“Staying at The Beach Villa or the Amore apartment in Cruz Bay is always fantastic—we love our time there! Trunk Bay holds a special place in our hearts (my husband proposed there), and the town’s restaurants, especially La Tapa, offer amazing food and wine. Every year, we return for six days of pure paradise. Thank you, Debbie and Donald!”

“Looking back at our pictures of the Beach Estate, we’re already planning our next family vacation! The trip was fantastic, and your website perfectly captured the beauty of the villa and its surroundings. After hearing cautionary tales about internet bookings, we were thrilled to find everything as portrayed. We can’t wait to return! P.S. The dock by the water was perfect for morning coffee.”

“Brent and I are still glowing from our unforgettable St. John vacation celebrating our 35th anniversary. Having stayed on the island six times, this was our best experience yet, thanks to your beautiful villas and warm hospitality. After a challenging year, the serene environment of the Beach Estate was incredibly rejuvenating for us. We’re so grateful for the care and artistry you put into everything, from the villas to the personal connection you shared with us. We can’t wait for the sconces to arrive, and we are already inspired by your landscape design. Brent has been transforming our home with his new “Donald Schnell style!”

“None of us can stop talking about our phenomenal time in St. John. Chris and I never imagined our wedding would happen in paradise, surrounded by our best friends—it still feels surreal! This trip was truly unforgettable. We just celebrated our one-month anniversary with champagne in our new glasses. While it’s nice to be back home in New Orleans, we left a piece of our hearts in St. John. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality—we hope to return soon!”

“We had the pleasure of staying at Don and Deborah’s Beach Villa and it was perfect for our group of 10 friends. The home exceeded the pictures with its stunning location on Great Cruz Bay—a rarity in St. John. The gorgeous pool, inviting hot tub, and beautifully landscaped grounds made every moment special. We loved cooking dinners and dining outdoors on the elegant Italian stone table. The villa’s location was convenient, and every room was impeccably designed. This was our fifth trip to St. John, and it was by far the best home we’ve stayed in. Donald was incredibly accommodating. We can’t wait to return!”

“The Beach Villa is our family’s favorite for our St. John trips. All three generations have been happy with the accommodations and the perfect location. The Schnell family makes every effort to ensure their guests’ comfort. We asked for a new DVD player, which appeared within an hour. We used the vast stone and shell hot tub every day and night. This is a well-maintained, true island-style home with mature gardens and a sandy beach, which we loved. It has an entrance to the water through the Stone Grotto path (our name). After 24 trips to St. John and eight different villas, the Beach Villa has everything for a comfortable stay. We’ll be back.”
