Perfect for our family vacation
Our family of 12 stayed for an awesome week at Eminence on High in December.
First, the location is amazing! On top of the Bordeaux mountain ridge at over 1,000 ft elevation, it was 8 degrees cooler than at sea level. The view to the north and east is incredible! The first few days we experienced what the locals call the “Christmas wind” and up there it was blowing hard. After that we had a nice constant breeze. The wind and cooler air would be even more appreciated in warmer months.
Located in the middle of the island, it’s closer to some of the snorkeling spots we like and easy to get to anywhere on the island. The road up is good except for about the last 100 yards, so you do need a jeep.
The villa itself is stunning. Everything was clean when we arrived. It has beautiful décor, nice furniture, comfortable beds and sheets, plenty of towels, a good washer/dryer, complete cooking supplies and lots of dishes in the main kitchen as well as the party room. There are two refrigerators, a wine cooler and an ice maker. Lots of beach towels and chairs. The heated pool and hot tub were much appreciated on the colder days. We loved the party room for our evening meals and hanging out; the stove in the party room wasn’t working but that was just a minor inconvenience.
We look forward to having an opportunity to stay again at Eminence on High Villa.

Slice of Heaven
The house was beautiful. Pictures didn’t do it justice. Yes the drive up is very bumpy, but our Jeeps made it up with no issue. The views and pool were fabulous. Unfortunately the hottub was still out of commission and would have been nice at night as the pool is too cold. We would definitely stay there again. Plenty of room to spread out, kitchen and amenities are great. We did have a strong storm one day that brought water in from the ceiling and the windows in the main hallway. There also seems to be some water damage in the 1st floor bedroom closet. Only other issue were some mice that left their evidence in the mornings. I don’t consider this an issue because you are literally within nature in this home. We saw tons of frogs, birds, unique bugs including a few tarantulas living inside the bromeliads outside. Enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of frogs and wind through the palms every night. The kitchen A/C was a MUST and I’m so happy we purchased it extra. It works VERY well. The solid wood windows and furnishings are astonishing. Overall just really really missing our time spent here and hope to visit again soon! We got ready for our wedding here that occurred on Peace Hill and I’m so happy we chose this home.

A perfect week in paradise
We had a wonderful time at this villa. The views were breathtaking! Highlights include sunrises from the master bedroom wraparound balcony, family dinners in the indoor/outdoor second kitchen at the massive table, and cooling off in the pool.
As for communication, the property manager and owner were both extremely responsive and helpful. We loved that there were plenty of beach towels and beach chairs, which we took with us daily.
Only callouts were that the hot tub, 2nd kitchen stove/grill top, and 2nd kitchen garbage disposal didn't work unfortunately, but we made due with the outdoor grill!
Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful Home
Gorgeous home with incredibly views. Hot tub is not functioning and if it were there is an extra charge to use the hot tub and to have the pool heated to a point that you would want to swim in it so make sure you're aware of the extra fees and order before you arrive. Other than that the place is amazing.

Wonderful
We stayed for a week. The home was perfect for six couples. Do you have to heat the pool their ice cold otherwise. It looks like it’s the highest spot in St. John so we had a lot of wind up there but the view is simply stunning and the property is absolutely wonderful.

A very nice home with gorgeous views. Has everything one would need. Great seclusion, but with that comes a little more distance to stores and restaurants. Very happy with our stay and would absolutely stay again.

Better Than Advertised!
The property is absolutely stunning and was great for two families. The cooks kitchen was such a nice touch…incredible appliances! Views are spectacular and breezes were welcome in the afternoons. We appreciated all of the details and extras!! Of course the road up to the house is bumpy but aren’t they all?!😄
Would definitely stay again!!
