“Dear Mrs. Harris
We apologize for the delay in expressing our gratitude for all you did to prepare the home for our use at Christmas. Thank you for all you did to stock it and decorate it for our convenience and comfort. The 4 cousins loved their bunk room. Christine and Andrea loved the home and the island. Christine wants to go to college at the University on St. Thomas! We look forward to another visit soon and we hope to see you then.”

“My wife and I recently stayed at String of Pearls for 10 days. This is a great vacation home with the perfect location. The owner has outfitted the home with everything and every amenity you’ll need to relax and enjoy this beautiful island. With the upscale finishings and private location, spa, deck and patio directly on the water in Great Cruz Bay, you won’t want to leave. The Westin St. John Resort is right next door. The home is an easy walk or short 3 minute taxi ride to downtown Cruz Bay and all the local waterfront bars and restaurants. Don’t pass up the locals at Woody’s streetside bar or Johnny’s BBQ. The local beaches on the Northshore are spectacular world-class spots. The owner of the home (BJ Harris) is super friendly and laid back, she made us feel right at home, just ask her for anything you need or want to know! This wonderful villa vacation was the best spot in the Virgin Islands.”

“BJ: I wanted to thank you again for your help the week of 6/27/10. We were the residents at Calpyso Del Sol with the broken SUV. We didn’t rent from you, but you were kind enough to jump our car, escort our friends to the villa and even loaned us your powerpack. This type of service definitely encourages me to work through St. John Properties the next time we visit St John. We greatly appreciate your help.”

“We had a great time in St. John ! The food was wonderful, the weather delightful and the scenery gorgeous but the best part of our trip was our accommodations. The String of Pearls was so charming and the location the absolute best! Alec and BJ took care of everything and made us feel so special. I have recommended the String of Pearls to all my friends. We will definitely be returning to St. John in the near future.”

“Our first trip to St John was for our daughters wedding. She was engaged here the year before and just had to have here wedding on the beach at Trunk Bay . The whole trip was nothing less than spectacular. I was so lucky to find St John Properties (internet search) to help me find a villa. Barbara and Alec were very knowledgeable and the villa they helped me select was ideal for the six of us. Glenmar has a beautiful view from the deck and all the comforts of home. The forty people who attended the wedding all agreed that St John is a beautiful island with wonderful, friendly and helpful people. The beaches and the scenery are out of this world. Even though we were there for the wedding, it was the most relaxing vacation I have ever had. If you have never been here before Spend a half day touring the island and then spend the rest of your vacation relaxing on any one of the beautiful north shore beaches.”
– Bill Russell ,Salem, MA
“We just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank Alec and BJ for a wonderful vacation experience with St. John Properties. This was our first vacation together and my girlfriend and I both have said it was the best vacation of our lives. Obviously, when you go someplace new and try a service for the first time you aren’t sure what to expect. We want to let you know that our expectations were exceeded at every turn. The service, the island, the accommodations, and the thoughtfulness were off the charts. WE WILL be back soon and WE WILL go through St. John Properties. Due to your outstanding service and the way you run your business, you have just obtained customers/clients for life. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We will see you again soon. Best,”

– Gayle Dahlman, Port Washington, New York
“We have done business with BJ Harris and St. John Properties for over 15 years. Our rental property was managed by them to the delight of our renters. When we decided to sell our property, there was no one else we would consider. They are an extremely knowledgeable and professional organization and have been on St. John for many years. One thing that we have always appreciated is the caring that the staff has shown for us and their clients. We trust them explicitly.”
– Jack & Marie Pohlman, Madison , CT
“We have been fortunate to have BJ and her staff as our rental agent for our home on St. John for 15 years. We couldn’t ask for more welcoming people to make our guests feel comfortable in our home in Paradise. Our guests have repeatedly praised their reliability, helpfulness, and resourcefulness. If you want to know what to do and where to go in the Virgin Islands, ask BJ. She is past president of the Virgin Islands Realtors Association and knows everyone who is anyone in the Virgin Islands.”
