Fantastic house!
Ard Na Mara, St. John villa review
Everything is new, location in Virgin Grand Estates is great. Villa is very roomy, bedrooms are very large, especially the master suite. All WiFi, TV, etc. is flawless. Outside areas - grill space, huge table on deck for outdoor meals, pool - are all awesome. Pool is more of a plunge pool than a big pool you could dive in to, but we knew that going in so it was fine.
We would definitely rent Ard Na Mara again!
Very good experience working with Betsy and WhereToStay.

Fantastic villa!
Ard Na Mara, St. John villa review
This villa could not have worked out any better for our party of 6! Beautiful villa with an amazing view; the layout allowed us to spread out, and not feel on top of each other. The villa is located not far from Cruz Bay, and just a beautiful place. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a great experience working with WhereToStay and Betsy. Everything was very organized, Betsy was very responsive, and we felt very prepared to head to the island. We will definitely look to work with WhereToStay again when we head back to the island in the future (hopefully sooner than later)!

Wonderful Stay
Ard Na Mara, St. John villa review
Ard Na Mara was a beautiful villa with a great view. It is well kept up, has great amenities (pool, ensuite bathrooms, beach chairs and towels, and an outdoor kitchen and grill). We definitely recommend it to families and groups of friends.
Shawna and Sharon arranged all our transportation and gave great advice on things to do. We hope to use their services again for another trip as it made everything easy.

Fabulous villa!
Ard Na Mara, St. John villa review
We loved staying at Ard Na Mara! This villa is exquisite with everything you need. Wonderful views from all rooms, beautiful landscaping and furnished well! We honestly can’t think of anything that could have made our stay better. We loved the porch, the pool, the outdoor dining and especially the garden dining area off the side of the house that felt like you were in a jungle! The palms were beautiful as were the banana trees. Every room was furnished beautifully - especially the gorgeous dining table - comfortable beds and plush linens & this villa was extremely clean. We had tons of privacy & everyone has plenty of space to spread out & enjoy those views. The neighborhood was very safe & had great walking areas & just a short drive to Cruz Bay. This villa is the best choice for privacy if traveling with other couples and teens because of the house set up & privacy! We also loved that Nidia met us at the Jeep rental and guided us to our villa - she also gave us a wonderful tour of our property and presented us with a delicious food basket. Nice touch! We truly can’t wait to come back!
Our experience working with Shawna was probably the best customer service we have ever had - she assisted us along the way and made sure we had everything taken care of. From food delivery to jeep rental to making sure our house was the perfect choice for our family. She answered “many many” questions & always gave great recommendations for nice dinners out to excursions.
The set up of the “where to stay” website is great and it gives a great summary of our vacation along the way to be sure we were prepared with all documents needed ahead of time - it was very organized which was extremely helpful! We will definitely be using Shawna again & we highly recommend her & “Where to Stay”!
