Argonauta Villa Reviews

04/ 23, 2007
We have stayed in Argonauta 5 or 6 times. It's our favorite house on St. John !!! We reserve it a year in advance to get the time we want. (we stay for 10 or 11 days).

The main house has the master BR & Loft. Each floor has a bathroom. The stairs to the loft is a spiral staircase. Dangerous for small children or drunks in my opinion.
The upper BR in the "pod" has a regular entrance door on the same level as the main house. It also has a screened covered deck area with a beautiful view but no stairs to pool level and of course a full bath. The lower level BR entrance is sliding glass doors on the pool level ( and full bath).

All BR's have king size beds and A/C. There is a small safe in the upper pod BR.
Besides the pool, there is also a hot tub, washer & dryer, 1/2 bath and wet bar.
The view is one of the best on St. John. Rainbows in the mornings and beautiful sunsets over St. Thomas at night.

There are screens in all the windows and we have never had a problem with bugs. Just a little lizard from time to time.

Argonauta is a 4 bedroom villa and has spectacular views. It has views of St. Thomas, on a clear night you can see St. Croix. The furnishing are nice. We rented through Vacation Vistas, specifically, Lisa Durgin, who is so helpful. The beds are so comfortable with spectacular views. It has a private pool and spa as well as a wet bar. Stayed there the past two years and will be staying there May 2006! Arlene

Argonuata is a lovely 4-bedroom house with unobstructed views over Pillsbury Sound to St. Thomas. The kitchen is recently updated with granite counters, bar stool seating, a gas stove, and a large, well powered fridge.
Argonauta is surrounded be expansive decking, all covered and outfitted with outdoor fans. Generous seating is available in multiple locations on the deck--from chairs to hammocks.
The pool area is equipped with a wet bar, stereo, and lots of shady umbrellas. Updated laundry facilities are on pool level.
Each bedroom is different. In the main pod, there are two: one bedroom is reached via a spiral staircase. There is a nice view and a full bath if you can handle the stairs (very steep!). The second bedroom (also with full bath) is behind the kitchen, with no view, but opens directly onto the main deck, so is best for anyone in your party with mobility issues. **new screened doorway gives a bit of view and glass mirrored closets make it much brighter**
The best bedroom is in the seperate "sleeping" pod, across the way from the main living pod. This bedroom has two sides of glass doors overlooking Pillsbury Sound and Great Cruz Bay, as well as wrap around decking. A full bath (with ocean views from the shower) is behind this bedroom. A fourth bedroom is below this bedroom, opening directly onto pool level.
Argonauta is beautifully landscaped, with multiple mature flowering plants/trees. There's also lots of privacy. It's a wonderful villa, you will definitely enjoy yourself if you stay here. liamsaunt
