Our stay at Blue Marlin in February 2025 was very good. The king size bed was very comfortable. It was great to have to have two bathrooms in this small unit. The laundry set up was very convenient (shared with one other unit). The kitchen and bbq were both very well equipped. The unit supplied beach chairs and beach coolers, and we used those on our beach trips.We had some issues on our first day (key sticking in the front door, TV remote not working and damaged front gate), but Jackie very promptly corrected them. We appreciated the very quick service. We spent lots of time just looking at the water from the kitchen windows and from the private front porch. Overall,if we visited St. John again, we would stay again.

Overall, it was fine. The front gate and a lamp never got fixed, and the furniture in the picture is not the furniture in the apartment. It is a good location and a short walk to town. It was adequate for what we wanted.

We ended up being upgraded to the Casa Blanca which is upstairs and has a private pool. It was wonderful. Only issue was the neighbor was adding a room or building on and they worked until 9:00 some nights. Probably because of the 86 degree weather.

Blue Marlin
Blue Marlin provided what we were looking for: a clean home base from which to explore the island, kitchen facilities to prepare meals, proximity to the town and transportation. The property management team were quite organized and helpful, and communication was prompt and clear. They met us at the ferry, gave us a brief orientation to the town and delivered us to the unit. Livingroom furniture is much more comfortable than the bamboo set shown. It's a 2 bath unit (not 1 as shown). The newer bath (shown) is lovely; the master bath (not shown) was clean but needs updating. We also felt the steps from the bedroom area (not seen in the pictures) were hazardous in the dark of night; a plug-in night might help. Over all, we enjoyed our stay at Blue Marlin.

Perfect location
The property is just up the hill from Cruz Bay, far enough away that you do not hear the bar crowds at night, but not so far as to need/want a car/taxi even after having a large meal with several drinks. The property is small but has two full bathrooms, A/C, towels for the beach and bathrooms, pots, pans, 25oz. drip coffee maker, microwave, toaster oven, ice cube trays, cooking range, but no oven. King-size bed, a couch, two reclining chairs around the television, a four-person kitchen table, satellite TV, and reliable, wireless internet. The property manager was friendly, and prompt with replies and warned us the evening before a several-hour-long pending, island-wide power outage. 10/10, would recommend.

Great location
First time to St. John’s. We wanted a location close to everything and this fit the bill! We didn’t need a vehicle but could walk everywhere or take a taxi to the beaches. We also took the city bus ($1!) to the other side of the island to go to Salt pond beach. Accommodations were clean and comfortable. A little outdated but that isn’t important to us. Enjoyed watching a peacock in our driveway! Only barrier with not having a vehicle was getting to a grocery store. If you have trouble walking uphill you would need a vehicle. Jackie (the manager) was wonderful! Super helpful, responsive and very nice! Hope to be back!

Nice place for 2 in a great neighborhood. Easy 5 min walk to downtown Cruz Bay, taxis, ferry, etc. Jackie not only met us at the ferry and took us to the property, but also did a quick drive around town and made a pit stop at the grocery store so we could get some food and our bearings. Best, and most friendly, service we've ever had!!

A great location, but the hills did make walking to town bit of a challenge, however its just a few minutes by car so not a big deal. There should be some warming regarding the very low ceilings. My 6' husband hit his head several times.

My husband and I stayed here for a week. This was our 4th trip to St John and this part of the island is the best to stay. Short walk to town for dinner each night (only a couple hills from this spot!). Condo was exactly as described and pictured. Clean and supplied everything we needed. Jackie from property management made it super easy to check in and help with any questions we had along the way! Highly recommend

Second stay in 11 months!
Enjoyed our 2nd stay in the past year. Have family living on island & this is VERY convenient to where they reside, as well as to everything in Cruz Bay. The villa is comfortable and very clean. Refrigerator is nice & cold, love the gas cooktop, ceiling fan makes the kitchen very comfortable, even made mini-cupcakes in the toaster over (brought my own silicone muffin pans). Would love it if the owner included a couple larger than cereal bowls (to mix salad in). The large window in the kitchen provides a nice view of the water - you can watch the car barges come and go. The wall-mounted ductless a/c unit is in the bedroom and makes sleeping comfortable. Open the curtains that separate the bedroom & living room to let the a/c flow thru, turn on the ceiling &/or floor fans and you will be cooled off in no time! One note about the bedroom - it has a low ceiling (about 6'3"). We had no issues with that though (husband is 5'10"). There is a 2nd, smaller bathroom a step away from the bedroom with 2 small windows (one glass block) so there's natural light. The shower in this smaller bathroom also has decent water pressure. A couple other nice amenities are a medium, soft-sided, insulated cooler, beach chairs, and pool noodles that you can take with you to the beach. There's a driveway for you to park your rental vehicle, but we rarely rent one. We get our exercise from walking (bring a small umbrella to shield you from the sun!). From Blue Marlin villa, it’s a 5-min walk to The Beach Bar and to Lovango Rum Bar (best pizza on island; crust is yummy, doesn’t taste like cardboard! Charcuterie boards, salads, paninis, & desserts are delicious, too!)…an 8-min walk to Cruz Bay ferry dock and Cruz Bay Landing…a 9-min walk to Quiet Mon Pub and Extra Virgin Bistro…a 10-min walk to Dolphin Market…an 11-min walk to The Roti King…a 15-min walk to Mongoose Junction…an 18-min walk to The Marketplace/Starfish Market. If you’re feeling adventurous, a 30-50 minute, slightly hilly hike along the Lind Point Trail ends at the beautiful Honeymoon Beach. Remember to bring water & snacks, and wear your sneakers/walking/hiking shoes and bathing suit! No restrooms. You can also take a Safari and pay a fee (about $10 round trip per person) to take the beach shuttle from Caneel Bay to Honeymoon Beach. Conservation, respect, and kindness are key to St. John, USVI remaining one of your favorite places to kick back and relax!

Cozy and Great location!
Blue Marlin was the perfect place -- close to the ferry, restaurants, and shopping, as well as taxi service! In the 20 years we've been visiting St. John, we've never rented a car, and prefer to use the local taxi services to get us to and from the beach. Blue Marlin is clean, spacious, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. From booking to checkout, Jackie and her team were quick to respond. We also appreciated that Michelle met us at the ferry and took us over to the villa. A+ experience all around!!!
