"This is our second trip to your beautiful Villa and we really feel at home. The view is incredible and the sound of the waves hitting the shore is so relaxing. We love this home so much that we will definitely be back." "WOW - Your Villa is absolutely amazing! The view is spectacular. The snorkeling and kayaking right out front was also terrific. We will definitely be coming back." "Absolutely wonderful place. St John is great but your special place with so many unique touches made it perfect. Thanks so much." "Thank you again for a wonderful 4 weeks in your beautiful home - we loved it even better this time. You both are wonderful people and we look forward to seeing you again in 2008!" "Your home is a true Sanctuary! The whispering sea, magnificent view, luxurious hot tub and pool. Look forward to returning next year." "We loved Sanctuary and St John so much we look forward to coming back soon." "We had an amazing time at your beautiful home. It is truly a "Sanctuary". We will be back." "This is the nicest Villa we have ever stayed in! We loved our time here. Thank you for sharing your movies, music, and books. What a nice thing to do." "Last year when we left here we never imagined we'd make it back so quickly. Everything was perfect and peaceful. If only we could bottle it up." "Great starry nights - We loved the view and the pool, as well as the ample supply of great music and movies." "WOW! What a fabulous week we have had at Sanctuary - The perfect name for the perfect place." "Your home is perfect - I would not change a thing. The peace that surrounds you as soon as you enter is hard to describe. You seem to really care about the people who stay at Sanctuary. It has been good for my mind, body and soul." "Absolute Paradise! We based our first trip to St John from your beautiful home. I doubt there is a better place on the island. Thank you so very much!" "This is the best house we have ever stayed in. The view is absolutely incredible. We will miss the sound of the ocean. We are sad to leave Sanctuary - can't wait to come back again." "Thanks for sharing your home with us. It instantly felt like home to us - but better!" "Your gracious, well appointed home provided the perfect setting for enjoying all the island has to offer. We look forward to future stays at Sanctuary . . ." "Thank you for the pleasure of enjoying your beautiful home for 3 weeks. We loved every amenity - the coziness, the view, the sounds. Your home is truly a Sanctuary." "We needed some time to kick back and recharge, and we found that here. Convenient to the rest of what St John offers, but tucked away with just the right dose of natural tranquility. Kudos for the Pool Suite, the pool, the iguana, the landscaping, the views, the home theater, and especially the pelicans. Hope this peaceful feeling lasts until we return." "Serenity, beauty, and timeless quality. The setting and design of your home demonstrate the care and thought that went into Sanctuary. "Thanks for allowing us to experience all of the beauty of your home - it was outstanding. Counting the days until we can return. Your home rejuvenates ones soul!" "Blessings abound at Sanctuary. An infinite number of stars in the night sky - a visit from the resident iguana that we named Charles Ignatius - sweet songs from the local bird families - the walk down to the magnificent beach." "We wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for sharing your beautiful home with us. A week at Sanctuary leaves us peaceful and rested. Magical moments abound - from eagle rays to island smiles.
Thank you!" "It was so delightful to spend a week at "Sanctuary". The moment you enter through the stone archway of this retreat, awe-inspiring beauty surrounds you. This is quite the place to get away from it all and relax. Your senses are soothed by all the natural beauty. Waking to the sounds of nature. Water sloshing, birds chirping, inhaling pure salty air and gentle warm breezes as they tickle the outdoor chimes. Sunlight dancing on the opalescent turquoise water. Hummingbirds, mourning doves, flowers in yellow, red, and peach. Blue skies and beauty everywhere. Thank you for creating such a heavenly place for people to enjoy." "We enjoyed mornings with coffee on the veranda, evenings in the hot tub. We all slept like babies with the ocean lulling us to sleep." "We can definitely see why this is called Sanctuary. Thanks for such a beautiful vacation home." "What a beautiful and magical Home! It was my first time on St John and I can see why my friends come every year. There is a special energy here. Between the water, the stars, the music and the rum, this was by far my most memorable vacation." "We found Sanctuary on the internet and thought it looked perfect. When we arrived we found it was even better than expected. Snorkeling in the bay was so much fun. We loved having the ocean so close to our door." "To actually be here and enjoy this beautiful island and your wonderful Sanctuary is truly a week not to be forgotten. We thoroughly cherished every minute and every awesome view. Your home is so lovely and so comfortable and inviting. We have taken away an unforgetable memory, and we thank you." "What a very special place you've created at Sanctuary. It truly made our time on St John something we will never forget. Kayaking across Rendezvous Bay, gazing across the Caribbean to St Croix, or soaking up the sun on Sanctuarys decks are some of our memories. Early morning sunrises with a cup of coffee and late afternoon sunsets with cocktails, we watched from the deck as cruise ships passed by knowing their accommodations paled to what we have at Sanctuary." "Thanks so much for allowing us to experience St John in your lovely home. The views and the house itself were incredible and made for a very relaxing stay. St John was absolutely perfect and staying at Sanctuary made it 10 times better. Sanctuary is my dream home." "We had a wonderful recharging and invigorating week at Sanctuary. From the ever-swooping pelicans to the early morning kayaking across the bay, it was all perfect. I loved being amused by geckos and hummingbirds. The house is elegant and tranquil, the plantings gorgeous and the view sublime." "The pictures of Sanctuary on the internet don't do it justice. The views are the best I've ever seen. Sanctuary is the perfect family retreat." "This was our 4th trip to St John and definitely my most memorable. John and I celebrated our marriage here, and Sanctuary was the perfect setting. Being able to stay at the villa for the wedding and honeymoon kept us stress free. I always dreamt of my perfect wedding and your home exceeded all my wildest dreams. I can't thank you enough for opening Sanctuary to us." "Thank you for a wonderful week in your beautiful home. The views are spectacular! We've stayed in many other homes on the island but have never been provided with so many extras. This is by far the most incredible Villa we've stayed in and can't wait to come back." "We loved staying in your beautiful new home. You've done a wonderful job with everything, including your charming details. We hope we are blessed with the opportunity to visit again." "Thank you so much for allowing us to celebrate our wedding and honeymoon in such a grand location with unparalleled beauty. We enjoyed your truly good taste in movies, books, and music, as well as your skilled craftsmanship in stone work. There is simply no better way to experience our first trip to St John. We are sure it will not be our last." "Sanctuary is beautiful, peaceful, quiet; Zen-like in its simplicity but attention to the little details. Beautiful sunny days interspersed with quiet thin rain. The native sounds and smells. St John is something special." "We fell in love with St John and this beautiful home. Much good energy in the design and flow -- air, wind, sea. Town is much fun, funky, friendly. We had a great time driving to many different beaches, snorkeling, hiking in the National Park. Your hot tub under the stars at night is something special. Thanks for making the perfect home away from home." "Ed and CJ -- Thank you for opening your beautiful home. Grant and I will never forget it. Sanctuary has such wonderful detail. We hope to come back." "It's hard to put into words how great our stay was in Sanctuary. It was a perfect location, close to Cruz Bay but also nestled in an ultra private part of St John. The design of your home and amenities were fabulous! The family thoroughly enjoyed all that St John has to offer; snorkeling, hiking, baking in the sun, eating, drinking, kayaking, and simply creating good memories. Thanks so much for opening up your home to us and we hope to return soon." "Ed and CJ, I just had to add -- this was the first trip in a long time with the whole family -- we could not have picked a better home to stay in. We loved everything about it. Pool and hot tub at night were beautiful. The views (we went kayaking to Ditliff Point) were beautiful, and the snorkeling -- as well as in front of Sanctuary. The sound system is awesome and the grill -- very cool!!! I love all of the harmony with nature that your house provides, very good 'chi'." | | ||||
