Great stay
We had family stay here that came in for my daughters wedding. The house is very spacious. Nice pool and good snorkeling in chocolate hole. Little beach area below villa.. watch out for the sea urchins entering from villa. Saw a huge lobster! Overall they enjoyed their stay. The great room does not have ac, but there are lots of doors to open that will let in the breeze from the ocean. Close to town and stores, not walking distance.

Quiet Comfortable Home
Ciellodonna is a quiet property close to Cruz Bay. What can I say. . .amazing deck and pool views . . .large, comfortable living areas. . .lovely air-conditioned bedrooms.
Snorkeling from the property is awesome. . .tangs, stingrays, turtles etc, but getting in and out is challenging (boulders and sea urchins abound). If not up to the challenge you can drive to the sandy area for easier access.
The management company were great about answering questions.

Beautiful and convenient location.
My overall impression is highly positive, the pool, however, is a little sketchy.
