Mountain oasis
We loved our stay at the On The Whim property. I would definitely not stay again without having rented a vehicle. It was very costly going back and forth into town with 5 people. Overall the trip was great and the stay at the property was everything that we could hope for. Until next time….

I want this to be our little secret...
I selfishly don't even want the world to know about this place! It was truly perfect in every way. The property is very well thought out with the lower level (private) 2nd bedroom if you travel with another couple, infinity pool, deck with the BEST views of Coral Bay and ocean breeze......and an outdoor shower. Kitchen had everything we needed! Very clean (I'm overboard on this) and big thank you for not using smelly cleaning products - we both have allergies to scents and we both felt great. We were also able to get a workout with the adjustable dumbbells downstairs while looking over the bay. On a Whim checked all the boxes for us and it was SO hard to leave. I want to sit on this porch every morning for the rest of my life with coffee in one hand - it was that perfect. These owners have created a little slice of Heaven - so thankful they shared it with us.

Perfect Quiet Location
My husband and I were looking for a quiet spot near Coral Bay for our 10 year anniversary. On a Whim was perfect! The house was fully stocked with everything. The pool and view were amazing. The driveway was easy to access (in comparison to others on the island).

Beautiful spot on St John
The property is amazing and was well equipped. Check in process was easy and the property manager was responsive and engaged. Restaurants and beaches are just a short drive but the house is quiet and secluded. We will be back!

Amazing stay at On a Whim!
Recently spent 5 days at On a Whim. Nicole and Marshall have certainly found a slice of paradise here. We had iguanas, other fun lizards, and so many birds! The pool area got a lot of use, and is beautiful. The views are wonderful and the flowers added beautiful bright colors to the outdoor area. The covered deck was also amazing, when the rain would move through. Inside the house was amazing as well, the bed was very comfortable and the living space was too. We spent the majority of our time outside, but it was great to be able to come in and sit for a movie too. The home has everything you need, the hosts have done a great job of thinking about all the things someone may want or need! We would love to stay here again, and would recommend On a Whim if it suits you. We only used the upstairs as there were just two of us, but the lower level bedroom was perfectly appointed too. It has a mini fridge a coffee maker and a TV, a second couple would have been very comfortable traveling with us. The driveway can be intimidating, but was totally fine for our rental and my nerves, just take it slow and you will be fine. The power was out on the island several times, due to some repairs taking place by the utility, the Tesla wall worked great, we never lost power at the home. I can’t speak highly enough about this home, I can understand why Nicole and Marshall fell in love and made this beautiful place theirs!! Congrats and look forward to another visit!

Perfect anniversary getaway
Stayed here for our 10 year anniversary and it was absolutely amazing. Private and peaceful, away from the chaos of the harbor, but still within 15min of the best beaches we’ve ever been to. After a long day of hiking and beaches, the private pool was the perfect way to unwind. We will absolutely be coming back!

The Perfect Vacation Home to Enjoy St. John!
What a PERFECT experience! The owners are so friendly and helpful and the property manager was fantastic. The location of the property, view, and amenities could not have been better. I was so impressed with what was provided to us - plenty of supplies so that we did not need to buy anything (dish soap, toilet paper, paper towels, etc). They also had so many items available like beach chairs, snorkles/masks/fins, beach towels, and more. We will definitely rent this home again and suggest to others we know visiting St. John.

Perfect stay!
Excellent home for a perfect week long vacation. Close to Coral Bay and Skinny Legs — our favorite for burgers and Pizza Bar in Paradise. Only 15 minute drive to gorgeous North Shore beaches. It was just 2 of us and we loved the privacy at the end of each day of adventure. Great covered deck and lovely refreshing pool — both equipped with plenty outdoor seating. Loved the umbrella for extra shade at the pool. Bed was very comfortable. Communication with owners and with Dwight, the house manager, was clear and timely. And Dwight even picked us up at the ferry and drove us to our Jeep rental in Cruz Bay — a treat especially because it was raining when we arrived. And even more important: when our Jeep rental broke down on the road near Miss Lucy’s and we could not get through to anyone at the Jeep rental, we were able to text Dwight, who drove to the Jeep rental company and got the owner of the company to contact us. Thank you, Dwight!!
