About this property

Clean, disinfected and 20 yards from the ocean, Mampoo Hill is a very special island beach house. Relax from the decks with the view and sound of the lapping blue water with gently swaying palm trees in between. Or snorkel in privacy in the "back yard" ocean. And watch dramatic sunsets from the luxurious spa or lounge chairs on the upper or lower deck as the end of daylight glistens off the trees and Caribbean ocean.

Mampoo Hill (designed by the most famous architect on island who also did the iconic Mongoose Junction) was meticulously designed to take advantage of its fabulous, close up ocean views--from EVERY room. This rare, beautiful, open air island home has a huge air conditioned master bedroom with a double dressing area, king size bed, queen size futon couch, library, ceiling fans, TV and internet connection while the guest bedroom has twin beds (that can be made up as a king), a ceiling fan, AC, remote controlled cable TV and a full bathroom. Both have spectacular beach front views. Enjoy a beautifully renovated kitchen, a gas grill, spa, and al fresco dining. Note: Jeep rental is optional and available directly from the owner.

When we travel, we prefer to find places more "away" from the crowds and high-rises. This VRBO at Mampoo Place delivers. The sounds of the ocean, the views all day (and even sometimes at night!) The seashells, iguanas, hermit crabs, and marine life were all fantastic. I was nervous about the iguanas "visiting" but they stayed in their tree and were delightful entertainment. We stayed as a last family vacation with all of our 4 children still "in the nest" and my mama heart stuffed a million memories in with so many smiles! The mosquitoes are nothing to mess with here! They were violent little suckers (and I was born and raised in MN lakes country where they get to be the size of small birds!) Moral of the story; USE THE JUNGLE JUICE. We also had issues with sugar ants, but with an open-air concept like Mampoo Hill, it would be silly to complain, I just think a warning is due that if you don't want to share your snacks with critters of all sizes, shapes, and forms, then you should keep all opened foods in airtight containers, the fridge, or freezer and do your dishes promptly after eating. Taking out the trash daily is doubly recommended for the same reasons (we never left garbage to find out, but I wholeheartedly believe ANYTHING left out could bring in uninvited guests!) The people, the history, the water, and EVERYTHING about this island is magical. I have NEVER had my stress melt away like our two weeks here and I pray we can make it back again.

Our stay was amazing. When you walk in it’s open and has many chairs and sitting areas to check out the beach. Beach was beautiful, it is a rocky one so I recommend bringing good shoes in your bags. They provided us with everything included snorkeling gear. The bugs are definitely present, but they were kind enough to provide us with a great bug repellent, make sure to lather up. The iguanas were great company and fun to watch. Everything was so easy to get to, I definitely recommend you renting their jeep, it made the trip so much more convenient and much less pricey than renting at the airport. Everyone I talked to was responsive very quickly and accommodating. The people in general all around were just so kind.

Why they chose this property

This is an authentic beach front property with beauty and modern conveniences, 20 yards from the ocean on St. John, USVI. This true island home was designed by the famous Glenn Spear who also designed the iconic Mongoose Junction in Cruz Bay. What's not to like?

What makes this property unique

Fabulous, private snorkeling in your own back yard and palm trees within 10 yards of the ocean and house; 1 acre of property; privacy; all the modern conveniences yet a newly renovated "island" home which takes advantage of its views and tradewinds.
