My husband and I visited STJ the week before IRMA. We had the greatest time, and fell in love with the island. String of Pearls was the perfect location for... read more us. We were close enough to town, yet felt like we had our own quiet space to enjoy when we wanted.
The open concept helped it feel bigger and also feel connected to the outside. The view is beautiful.
The hot tub was not working at the time, and the pool was getting drained for maintenance. We did not miss not having either. The mosquito's were crazy bad on the deck.. but we still tried to sit out there any time we were "home". We felt so comfortable here.
The closeness to the Westin seemed appealing when we booked this villa.. .We walked down once for drinks.. The property was gorgeous. We felt a little like we didn't belong. Almost like they knew we were not guests there! Nothing bad.. just a weird vibe.
Again, great location, beautifully furnished. We will choose to stay here again when we visit STJ. We absolutely fell in love

  I have never been any where like this. String of Pearls has everything you need. The view is amazing, place is cozy, relaxation is just what any doctor would order.... read more We thought we would have to rent a car to go anywhere - but with the Westin just past the neighbors house - we caught the cabs to take us to the beachs, the tour of the island and to the town/resturants/grocery store. Not many places to rent there that are right on the water - this one is right on Cruz Bay. Even though there are houses on each side - your privacy is not disturbed! There is a pool on the property now that was nice. Anyone wanting to get away and relax - this is the place! Owner is wonderful too!!

  My wife and I stayed at The String Of Pearls for our wedding / honeymoon in 2008. It was the best week of my life. I am planning our 10... read more year anniversary and we are going back. The owner at the time, (and I hope still) BJ, was amazing. She also was the witness at our wedding. She bought my wife flowers to wear in her hair. We were not really ready for everything (emotionally we were but we were unprepared) and BJ was there to cross the T's for us. She also drove us to and from the ceremony at Cinnamon Bay. Oh and the villa itself is pure bliss. Great view, hot tub, stocked fridge, and as I said it was the greatest week of my life. If you don't like The String Of Pearls, then you are just plain crazy. Thank you BJ for everything and I look forward to seeing you again next June!! We will be contacting you very soon!!
