Eminence On High... Captivates The Senses, Transends The Soul

We had an amazing time at Eminence on High - the house is beautiful with priceless views! The kitchen is very well appointed with two gathering rooms and a wrap around porch to take in the beauty. Our group of 8 cooked in most nights and it was more beautiful and relaxing than any restaurant. Christine was very friendly and available if we needed anything. We highly recommend Eminence on High and would definitely plan another stay here!

The view was stunning and the space was beautiful for our family of 11.The place advertises as sleeps 12 which it does but you have to pay extra for any persons over 6 . So I believe it should be listed as sleeps 6 with additional cost for carriage house which sleeps 6 more . One of the reasons we chose this place was because it had a hot tub . In several reviews it was stated that the hot tub was not in working order . I specifically gave the host 3 months notice that we were interested in the use of the hot tub. We were informed two days before arrival that the hot tub was not working . Granted they sent someone out twice to try and get it working which we really appreciated but to no avail . So it was slightly disappointing to the entire family . They also advertise a chefs kitchen which was beautiful and a lovely space for all of us to hangout , however the chefs stove does not work . We’ve been to many Vrbo places and I feel like this one was stocked minimally . There was one bath towel per person and 6 beach towels total for the 11 of us . In summary it was a beautiful place, don’t get me wrong . The outside space is beautiful and the dining area was perfect for our family . They also provided an escort from the car barge to the villa which was extremely helpful . The road up to the villa is rocky but we expected that and didn’t mind that at all. The communication with the host was excellent and very timely . We enjoyed the proximity to the national forest as well .

The communication with property manager and house caretaker was great. Eddie was a great host and spent plenty of time getting us familiar with the house and all the great amenities. The views are spectacular and the house is absolutely beautiful! We had two families with a total of 8 people and there was more than enough room for everyone. Although the house is not exactly convenient to the hustle and bustle, it is perfectly situated to get away from the busy areas while still being able to easily access the beaches and still fairly easy access to eating establishments and shopping. A Jeep is absolutely necessary, but that is the case for almost everywhere on the island. There is an extra charge for using the ac in the kitchen and dining area (we did not choose to use it), but we did not need it as long as you open up the windows and doors while in those areas. The breezes through the home are perfect and all the bedrooms have ac so you will be perfectly comfortable. We also did not add the hot tub use while we were there, but I would recommend doing that since the pool is a little chilly (due to being shaded most of the day) and the views from the hot tub would a great way to end the day. The huge patios, porches, etc are perfect for taking in morning sunrises and evening moonlit cocktail hours. The house has beach chairs and floats that we used daily. We highly recommend this beautiful home and the amazing staff that treated us so well for our 7 day stay!

We have always wanted to stay in a home on Bordeaux Mountain and this is the finest one by far. The cool temperatures made it a very interesting stay. We went and bought some hoodies for the cool nights. We stayed here two weeks and ended up cooking in all but two nights because the house was so perfect. You must splurge for the heated pool and hot tub! Kitchen is perfectly equipped for any chef to include All Clad pots and pans.

Excellent location. Easy drive to cruz bay or coral bay. Hard to imagine a better property overall in St John. Eddie was very helpful getting set up. No problem.

We have stayed at multiple locations on St John. This house had fantastic views and great outdoor space. Very good breezes and few bugs. The house was very comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. Well located to Coral Bay and the north shore beaches. We'll be back

Loved the house.

The pictures do not reflect how nice the property is in person! Every bedroom is nice and plenty of space to spread out. We had 11 adults and really enjoyed the outdoor area, pool and hot tub with excellent sound system! Propery manager, Eddie, very responsive with any problems or requests! We used Owen as a driver a lot and he also made excellent recommendation for boat rental! Use Local Time for best prices and fun captain!

Beautiful view. The house was very well equipped and comfortable for guests in the main house. The cottage with two bedrooms was not great. We made it work though. Only other complaint was the add on costs for the 4th and 5th bedrooms and hot tub.

Our family of 12 stayed for an awesome week at Eminence on High in December. First, the location is amazing! On top of the Bordeaux mountain ridge at over 1,000 ft elevation, it was 8 degrees cooler than at sea level. The view to the north and east is incredible! The first few days we experienced what the locals call the “Christmas wind” and up there it was blowing hard. After that we had a nice constant breeze. The wind and cooler air would be even more appreciated in warmer months. Located in the middle of the island, it’s closer to some of the snorkeling spots we like and easy to get to anywhere on the island. The road up is good except for about the last 100 yards, so you do need a jeep. The villa itself is stunning. Everything was clean when we arrived. It has beautiful décor, nice furniture, comfortable beds and sheets, plenty of towels, a good washer/dryer, complete cooking supplies and lots of dishes in the main kitchen as well as the party room. There are two refrigerators, a wine cooler and an ice maker. Lots of beach towels and chairs. The heated pool and hot tub were much appreciated on the colder days. We loved the party room for our evening meals and hanging out; the stove in the party room wasn’t working but that was just a minor inconvenience. We look forward to having an opportunity to stay again at Eminence on High Villa.
