We ADORED our stay at Villa Cin Cin!

Look no further for the perfect place to host your next family trip or friends getaway in paradise. Everything about this villa is amazing from the bedrooms to the outdoor showers (!) to the kitchen area (that had everything you could ever need) and then of course the infinity pool where we spent most of our time. I caught myself multiple times not being able to tear my eyes away from that view. It's like it's straight out of a fairytale book. Christine, the owner, is beyond wonderful and property manager, Crystal, couldn't have been more helpful. Crossing my fingers and toes on the possibility of being able to stay here again in the future!

Vacation at Villa Cin Cin

Our family (a group of 11 people) had an outstanding vacation in St. John at the Villa Cin Cin. The villa is located in Ditleff Point, probably the nicest location on the island. It is a beautiful villa with all the amenities a family would need. The property owner and the manager were great. It was truly a luxury experience. I highly recommend this property.

Wonderful Covid getaway

Our group of 8 friends had a fantastic time at this property. It is a beautiful home and pictures do not do it justice. It is a mere 5 minute walk to the best snorkeling beach on the island. We saw sharks, turtles, rays, etc. all from the comfort of our own private beach. This home is truly a gem and you will not be disappointed.

Awesome Villa with amazing virws

The owner was very thorough with all the details on the house, the island, jeep rentals, and places to dine. Crystal, the property manager met us at the ferry and led the way to the house which made it very easy. The house is amazing. I loved that all the bedrooms were the same so there was no fighting over the “best room”. The sunsets were fantastic and the kitchen was great for us to cook together.

Phenomenal property!!!

This was the best property I’ve ever rented! The owner and manager were great to work with and very detailed with the rental process. The house is perfect for a large group as it has five true master suites. It also had every amenity necessary. Pictures don’t do the views justice…..they were even better in person! Make sure you rent a Jeep as the hills are fairly steep but manageable. Stay at Villa Cin Cin….you won’t regret it!

Space for everyone!

This was absolutely perfect for our big family (20). Each family had their own suite. Well stocked kitchen. The green space we enjoyed every night, with lots of corn hole tournaments and the downstairs bar set up. The game room was also a big hit. The views are magnificent! The upstairs balcony was awesome at night. We would go every year if we could. I highly recommend this property!

Reason to Leave

There is only one problem with this villa….it’s so perfect, it’s hard to manufacture reasons to leave. We spent 7 days at CIn CIn and the most frequent trip away was to go to the grocery store so we could eat at the house. We found good beaching, snorkeling, yacht watching, villa watching from CinCin. Perfect setting and ownership!

Villa Cin Cin was amazing. It is even better then the pictures. There were five couples on our trip and there was plenty of room to spread out. The house manager was easy to communicate with. I spoke with the owner several times before our trip. She spoke to me like we were old friends. She gave us great recommendations and answered any question we had. We diffently would go back.

My wife and I have "hosted" a family vaca every year for the last 10, all over the country. Everyone had the best time yet here. In fact, my wife and I enjoyed it so much, we rented it again in November, only this time bringing close friends. The references for catering, food delivery and water equipment were great. used all quite a bit. Crystal (though a bit tough to make first contact as she can be quite busy) did a fabulous job with all the platters (and the lasagna) cant wait til November, we'll order pretty much the same things...wonderful stay

Castle in Paradise

An architectural dream perched on a mountaintop with views from every room of the spectacular sunset and sunrise. The week we visited, July 13-20, 2019, the water was pretty swift down at the beach even for experienced paddle board and kayak riders. The Lime Out (floating Taco Bar) is a must . Best tacos and frozen drinks ever.The outside bar and lookout tower were favorites and the infinity pool and hot tub overlooking the ocean and cliffs, superb! Christine is awesome! all furnishings and fixtures Restoration Hardware, sublime!

We took a family vacation with our daughter, children, our son, his wife and new baby and our son’s in-laws. The accommodation were perfect and had us all our own private spaces with equal luxury in each suite. The views were amazing, the pool was perfect and the patio was so comfortable. We ventured out to some of the beautiful beaches and took a day cruise at Ron’s the island. However, we are all so content to stay at the villa! There was no reason to leave! Crystal was so helpful upon checking in and departure, and the owner and I keep in touch during our stay. It was a perfect vacation and we hope to return! Thank you all!

The home is stunning! The views are amazing!

This home is stunning! Views are incredible! Our only issue was for the price per week, it would have been nice to have housekeeping change sheets and clean overall home. I would also recommend for the price that trash removal is included throughout the week. We were told to take our own trash to some location, or pay extra for them to do so. We just thought that was odd. Otherwise, the home was perfect and the manager was easily accessible!

Fabulous resort vacation with a family touch!

We had a wonderful 3-generation family vacation at beautiful Villa Cin Cin; all 10 of us loved it. It is in a spectacular, secure location. The beach inside Ditleff Point has quite a variety of sea life — good snorkeling close by. The house has every convenience and amenity and is fully equipped for our entertainment and cooking. The way it is laid out, it is perfect for families or 5 couples to be together —or have privacy when wanted (eg, a private porch off each room.) Outdoors, we loved the infinity pool, spa, sun deck with chaise lounges, covered porch with couches, dining table and chairs, grille, bar with mini fridge. Jeeping around St. John is very easy. Christine and her staff are the BEST! Mr. Piper, the house manager, was very responsive to our inquiries. The lasagna dinner waiting for us on arrival day was homemade and really delicious, so thoughtful after a day of traveling. It was a fabulous resort experience with a family touch!

A dreamy time on Ditliff

We had a fabulous time at Villa Cin Cin. We have been coming to St John for the last 20 years, and have rented many different villas, in Peter Bay, Chocolate Hole, Gift Hill and Coral Bay. Villa Cin Cin is the most amazing villa that we have every stayed at. It had it all: full A/C, pool and hot tub, sleeper sofas in all bedrooms, TVs in all bedrooms, an amazing kitchen and huge table for our clan of 12, and beach access just down the road. Ditliff point is so special, with almost 360 views and privacy. Christine, the owner, reached out to me via telephone at booking, and again closer to the time of our stay. She was an amazing host and a wealth of knowledge about the island. Crystal was great and always very responsive when we had questions. My husband, niece and I are runners, and loved running in Fish Bay- less traffic and less hilly than most other places we have ran in St John. We are already looking at next year for another stay at Villa Cin Cin.

About the host

What makes this property unique
