The simple necessities of of tranquility are pre-set at Moonswept
March,2024
My recent Moonswept encore took place during High Season when a rare window opened in the Villa's crowded calendar.
Together, Terre, and Garry, possess an unerring eye in fabricating the consummate accommodation for one's fantasy getaway.
The simple necessities of tranquility are pre-set at Moonswept.
Two brief logistical mentions for the interested: When considering an on-island 4WD vehicle (one of those Calabash necessities), research and experience has, unequivocally, given Destiny Car Rental (https://destinycarrentalvi.com) top spot on my queue. They are also THE most competitive and fair-priced rental car company I've ever engaged.
And this: If timing aligns, the return to STT via the Crown Bay Ferry is a maritime delight. Rather than the Cruz Bay-Red Hook run, followed by a 35 min overland, jammed-van trek, this option offers a St.John farewell of expansive breadth. On fair-weather days, the sea and sky, dotted with soaring Frigate Birds, offer an exhilarating finale to what (hopefully) has been a rapturous stay. https://www.interislandboatservices.com/ferry-trips/crown-bay-to-cruz-bay/

Our stay at Moonswept Villa met our expectations and more! The view is amazing. We are now spoiled and not sure we can experience St. John at a lower elevation. Thank you for a well appointed house. the pool and hot tub were wonderful and used daily after long hikes (Reef Bay Trail) and snorkelg excursions. Looking forward to our next visit.

We know what it takes to keep renters happy and you outdid yourselves again.

Returning after 15 years was as great or better than our first stay. So pleased to find your beautiful home still waiting for us. Plus the hot tub addition is so nice! So fun to re-visitall the beaches knowing that hurricanes can change things; each one was perfect.
The Calabash Market was very nice as were the staff there. Rhumb Lines Restaurant was a special pace to discover and celebrate our 49th anniversary. we know what it takes to keep renters happy, you outdid yourselves again.
Take care and thank you,

An opportunity to invigorate our relationship
January 12,2024
There have been so many great descriptions of Moonswept Villa that I do not believe I could provide any better descriptions to top them. We come to MSV to relax and recharge. And this is one of the best places to do that. Not onlydo we recharge and relax but we have a beautiful island, a beautiful home, fantastic people and a view that we do not tire of to achieve that. This also provides us with the opportunity to re-invigorate our relationship.
Thanks for the opportunity to make this happen.

Once again Moonswept has worked its magic healing on us.
December 7,2023
Dear Garry and Terre,
Once again Moonswept has worked its magic healing on us. My dad died a few weeks ago and my heart was broken. I was in desparate need of rest, healing and comfort. As we leave this morning, I feel a renewal of spirit and rest for my soul. This has been our happy place of peace since 2009 and continues to be our Eden. Thank you so very much dear Terre and Garry for sharing your piece of Paradise with us! God bless you and au revoir until next year!
Love, Charlotte and Eric
Thank you for another peaceful stay in a beautiful location.

We had a wonderful time at this gorgeous house. It was perfect for our family.
August 18,2023
We spent the mornings at the beaches and afternoons at the pool. I will never get tired of the view! Highlights included multiple turtles at Maho Bay, a nurse shark at Trunk Bay and the multitudes of fish at those, Cinnamon and Hawksnest. We took a charger to Virgin Gorda to the baths and then went to Willie T’s and snorkeling at the caves. Amazing day! This is our 4th time here to the island but the first time bringing the kids - it was so great seeing it through their eyes! We will be back again! Thank you so much for sharing your house with us!

Listen, if you are visiting St. John, this is the house to stay in!
February 20,2023
Listen, if you are visiting St. John, this is the house to stay in. We were so impressed with the view and all the amenities. We went to many different beaches, trails and mountain tops - nowhere on the island was there a more gorgeous view. The house was extremely clean and well equipped with everything necessary to cook, grill and spend days in the heated pool and jacuzzi without needing to go anywhere should you choose. The owners were downstairs but believe me when I tell you, we never heard or saw anyone at all. It was nice to know that should we need anything, someone was close by. There were coolers, beach chairs, beach towels, etc…they really have thought of everything. We were very pleased and hope to someday return to this very same house.

I don’t usually like to go to a place more than once but this place might change my mind!
December 14,2022
Such a perfect place! Wish we could’ve stayed longer. Moon was amazing and saw my first shooting star as I was relaxing in the hot tub. I don’t usually like to go to a place more than once but this place might change my mind!

Hard to imagine there could be a more spectacular view anywhere on St. John
December 10,2022
What a special treat to stay in the Moonswept Villa with a full moon! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us, Terre and Garry. It is hard to imagine there could be a more spectacular view anywhere on St. John - an island with many gorgeous views. Each morning and then each afternoon after our day’s adventure, we’d look out the window at the wide expanse or sit on the pool deck and be mesmerized by the breathtaking beauty. What a gift to be able to speand a week here!!!
