Windwardside Still Has It
This was our first time back at Windwardside in many years (having often stayed at another villa in the area based on Windwardside), and our first time back on St. John since the 2017 hurricanes. At this stunning and peaceful villa, you would never know there had been a hurricane. Everything is pristine and in perfect working order, and the captivating landscaping is as beautiful as ever. Like many guests, it was hard for us to leave Windwardside in the morning, and we usually chose to prepare our own dinner there in the well-equipped kitchen. To us, Windwardside is the true personification of luxury. It may not be the most expensive villa on St. John, or have the most bedrooms, or look like a Park Avenue apartment, but it has simple, tasteful, harmonious architecture, a serene and stunning setting, absolute privacy, and is extremely well managed. It's nice to know that it has become a home away from home for so many satisfied guests. We can't wait to return.

Thank you, Benjamin.  I am so happy to hear how much you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed your detailed review.  Guests can describe the feel of Windwardside much better than I can and i think you hit the nail right on the head.  That is what we are striving for!  We appreciate what wonderful care you took of our home and look forward to welcoming you back.
