This place was amazing. It was great to have coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. The host was very responsive and answered ALL our questions. Definitely coming back and even got to speak with Marcia’s mom. First class!

Wonderful Winter Escape
Stowaway was a great place to stay on St John. It’s a beautiful hilltop property with spectacular views of Cruz Bay and was the perfect space for two couples. The owner provided a lot of helpful information ahead of our arrival and was very responsive. The unit came stocked with bathroom essentials & beach bags, chairs and towels. It was close to Starfish Market for a few groceries (bring your own bags) and town restaurants (5 min drives). Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic Nine Nights at Stowaway at Upper Deck Villa's
I have been vacationing in St. John for 35 years; I must have stayed in 15-20 Villas. Stowaway is one of my favorites. For a single person, two people, or two couples, it is perfect. The view is absolutely fantastic. The interior is lovely, clean, and well-kept. Two fantastic bedrooms upstairs. The Villa is equipped with everything you will need. This property is so convenient for everything. Marcia is a fantastic, helpful, and communicative host. What more can I say than I have already booked for the end of 2024 into January 2025, doubling the time I will be staying.

Amazing stay at the Stowaway
We just returned back from a week long stay at the Stowaway and it was a trip to remember. From the minute we booked, Marcia was incredibly helpful, offering a full list of things to visit and do in St. John. The pictures online don't do this place justice! The views are simply stunning, there are two decks one on each floor. The villa is up a steep hill, very tranquil and quiet. It is a very close drive to town, we would drive in every night and park in a lot. We rented a Bronco in St. Thomas, and drove it over on the ferry as Marcia recommended and it was wonderful advice. We will be back soon and stay here. We had our three young children who really enjoyed the place as well. She has everything and more in stock! It's a great place!

Great place to stay on St John. Comes stocked with bathroom essentials & beach gear. Owner provided much helpful info ahead of our arrival and was very responsive to any issues that came up once there. Being a two-story unit with stairs, not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Road up to unit is steep, windy, & not well-marked but the payoff is spectacular views.

Charming place with beautiful view
The host was wonderful and had lots of great suggestions for snorkeling, eating, beaches etc. the air conditioning in the bedrooms was great and I loved the open plan with incredible views off both the upstairs and downstairs. There was a nice pool but we didn’t use it since we stayed out hiking and snorkeling each day. The drive up was quite steep and I am glad we rented a Jeep . I would definitely stay here again!

Stay at Stowaway
Fabulous views to the southeast over Cruz Bay from bedroom deck and lower, main floor deck. Is fairly high up mountain. All amenities, appliances worked well, except mosquito screens, some of which don't actually close inside from outside at screen rollers. May be the best bedroom for sleeping I've ever encountered. Landlord was very nice, helpful and friendly, a great welcome to St. John's. Would stay there again, next time.

We stayed at Stowaway for a week in January 2023 and had a wonderful time! The villa had everything we needed and the rooms were very comfortable. The breezes and view on the first floor are just amazing - we really enjoyed the sea air! The kitchen is fully stocked, pool is clean and quiet, designated parking spot is a bonus. Check-in was a piece of cake - Marcia was an excellent host and checked on us a few times during our stay to see if we needed anything (which we didn't - everything was there for us!). We're already checking our calendar to book a few weeks at Stowaway - one is never enough!

Breathtaking views while having everything we need!
Our stay at Stowaway was perfect! We loved having a full kitchen with all the supplies we needed to eat breakfast and often, dinner at our place. The beds were very comfortable and a perfect set up for a family of 5. The pool down below was a wonderful way to cool off when we didn’t make the trip down to the beaches. The best part was the view! It was spectacular and I will never forget it. Marcia was very communicative and open to texts whenever we had a question. She even provided us with a list of restaurants and things we had to do for our trip. I couldn’t be happier with our choice to stay at Stowaway (once we got used to the drive up :). Thank you Marcia!
