Our stay in St. John would not have been what it was without the villa. It is clean, SO close to town and overlooks the ocean! The porch swings were my favorite spot. And the water pressure was amazing for getting the days sunscreen off. Being able to walk right downtown through what we dubbed “the lizard trail” was so convenient and fun. Thank you Emily for providing a safe oasis

We had a great stay at Stay Salty. Kelly and Emily were very proactive with their communication and picked us up from the ferry dock and drove us and our luggage to the unit and got us checked in. The unit was plenty spacious for two people and had everything we needed. Very well appointed and had great beach materials (chairs, coolers, snorkel gear). The wrap around patio had a great ocean view and was peaceful to spend time on during the mornings. Bed was comfortable and AC worked great. Location was close to Cruz bay (ten minute walk if avoiding the large hills, faster if you decide to trek up a large hill). Fantastic parking spaces. Great value for the price, would stay there again!

Stay Salty was a wonderful choice! Close to everything, all the amenities (+) we needed, very clean, comfortable, and decorated. Loved hearing the roosters in the morning while having coffee on the deck.

Kelly was great at helping us navigate to the Airbnb, as she waits for you at the ferry exit and you just follow her in your car. Super easy to find the Airbnb and get checked in!

We loved Stay Salty so much we came back two years in a row—and we’re already plotting trip number three! The villa has the perfect mix of island charm and comfort, with everything you need to relax after a day of adventure. The view is stunning, the space is spotless, and being within walking distance to town makes it so easy to pop down for dinner, shopping, or a sunset cocktail. It really feels like a home away from home. If you’re looking for the perfect spot to enjoy island life, Stay Salty is it!

Emily's Stay Salty condo was as comfortable, well equipped and original as it looked on the pictures, and a perfect base for our St John adventure. Location is very convenient allowing a short walk to the town where all the actions is, but also very quiet and private at night. Although we never got to needed it, was surely reassuring to know that the place was covered by a power generator. Having snorkeling equipment, coolers and beach chairs at our disposal was definitely a big plus that added an extra layer of convenience and saved us some money. Eimily's suggested places to visit were of big help. We went to most of them and everytime with pleasant results. We highly appreciated Emily's hospitality and will surely consider to come back in the future! David & Susana.

Everything was wonderful for our first trip to St. John! Stay Salty was so close to all that we wanted to do and was great for our family of 4! The hosts were beyond helpful, too!
