Really great communication, attentive to detail and clearly wanted us to be happy with the whole experience. Provided a ton of info around things to do and restaurants to go to. Helped with a person to help with cooking and tidying up daily as well as a driver to help us get around for the week. Both were excellent!

Our stay at the Villa Caribbean Jewel was perfect in every way for our party of nine. Ginny was a great host: responsive and supportive. Her recommendations for restaurants and car rental were invaluable. The Villa itself was beautiful ,spacious, and equipped with every amenity, with spectacular views of the ocean shoreline by day and the stars by night. The hidden gem in our stay was Ursula. Not only did she keep the place spotless, she also prepared several luscious meals for us - chicken and ribs, goat and oxtail currys, apple pie and quiches. We came back from several beach days to find fresh guacamole in the fridge. Our stay exceeded all our expectations, it was as if we had our own private resort. We highly recommend staying at the Jewel of the Caribbean.

Beautiful week with gorgeous views

We had a great stay at Ginny’s house! The house is spacious and the views are amazing! Ursula is a lovely addition and she cooked us a delicious meal on our first night and a cake for my birthday! You’re staying on a mountain and the road in is part of the adventure! We easily traveled to beaches on the French and Dutch sides. Ginny’s recommendations were great and plentiful. Truly a week in paradise!

Amazing time!

We stayed at the Jewel for a week with 4 adults and 4 young kids. We had the best time, if not for the adults wanting to explore the island the kids would have been fine swimming and hanging out at the house. The view is incredible, the house provides everything you could need, and Ursula was so kind making us a meal for the evening we arrived, pina coladas, muffins for the kids. We will only stay at the Jewel when we return.

A gorgeous retreat

Our family spent a wonderful trip at the Jewel with its amazing view of the ocean and St. Barts in the distance. The house had so much space for our family and each bedroom had its own bathroom and balcony for privacy. Ginny was very helpful with suggestions that made planning our trip a breeze and Ursula was always available to help with cooking or cleaning.We felt very safe as the house is in a gated community and far from main roads - highly recommend having a car as it is a drive to get food and sightseeing.

This house is exactly what we were looking for! The views and ocean breeze are amazing. All long beds with private bathrooms made it just as comfortable for our guests as it was for us.

I booked the Villa for myself and 11 close friends to help me celebrate my 60th birthday.

In addition, Ursula (Villa staff) was an absolute gem. She helped us navigate all the amenities, as well as show us trails and give so much support.

Fantastic Stay on One Friendly Island

My friends, family and I had a blast at this Jewel of a place. Ideally located with perfect views, the home provided the perfect getaway with enough room for us all to be comfortable and happy with our stay. It was only made better but the onsite staff member, Ursula, who helped to guide us with everything in the home and even made recommendations for restaurants and other things to do. We couldn't be happier with our stay - except that it was only one week long. We could have stayed forever. Thanks again for helping to make our group getaway a successful and relaxing one. Five Stars!!!!!

First time to the island, and so glad we stayed at the Jewel! From the minute, you pull into the driveway you feel like you are in paradise. The house was very clean, and plenty of beds for our whole crew. Ursula is such a gift! She was so helpful, offering advice, and even cook us dinner one night!.

Anniversary getaway

It was more breathtaking than the pictures and descriptions. It was absolutely a wonderful time. The housekeeper was magnificent and available for accompanying us around the island to show us all the places to go as well as going to the market with us. Without her we would have never gotten around as well as we did. The view of the ocean from the balconies or from the pool just allowed your mind to leave everything behind. The communication with the host was great as well. Cant say enough about it. Definitely paradise!

10 Days in Paradise

Our group just loved everything about our stay at The Jewell. Ginny, the owner, kept in constant contact with me prior to our arrival, so there were no surprises. Once there, Ursula, the on-site host was delightful. She checked on us every day, and was there to do whatever it was we needed. She cooked us a delicious barbeque chicken and ribs dinner one night, and was also great help in assisting me prepare a taco meal on our last night there. The location is great for the beautiful beaches at Dawn Bay and Orient Bay, and it was only a short car ride into Philipsburg. I would highly recommend staying at The Jewll for anyone who simply wants to relax and enjoy a very scenic stay in Paradise.
