Hi Vanessa,
I read the reviews before we scheduled our visit. Brian’s review said they didn’t leave the villa. “We never even went to a beach. Couldn’t think of a good reason to leave lol. We will definitely reach out to you in the future. Brian, March 2025”. I didn’t understand that. Now I do! After our recent visit, I understand guests wanting to stay right there. I don’t know the words for the view – maybe a thesaurus would help! The view changes continually and is peaceful and inspiring and healing. We did leave every day to snorkel, on both sides of the island, and on our last day even did both sides! It was so wonderful to return from the beach and then sit on the deck and take in the view. The breeze up there was a close second to the view! I had no idea how wonderful the trade-winds would be up on the mountain. The cottage interior was also wonderful. We didn’t cook much but all the stuff needed to was there. And, we appreciated the car vacuum! Courtesy would not have been happy about our sand collection in the Jeep :-). Okay, I could go on and on, but I’ll sign off with – we’ll be back! Thanks so much, Sandie and Craig, Salem VA, November 2025 Vanessa we had a wonderful time. That cottage was spotless and I wouldn’t change a thing. The views are amazing - your house keeper is great she showed us your main house for future visits if we decide to bring our adult kids for a week. We never even went to a beach. Couldn’t think of a good reason to leave lol. We will definitely reach out to you in the future.
Brian, March 2025 The name says it all. The view never gets old and the cottage is perched at an elevation where the temperature stays pleasant day and night with a nice breeze bringing the smell of the ocean. We stayed a week spending time at the beach, hiking and sailing. Whatever we did, it was always nice coming back to the cottage to relax and talk about the day. It is easy to get to and we enjoyed waking up each morning with the sunrise in full view. We will definitely come back, there is too much to see and do in a single week.
Mike Louisville, KY June, 2018 Thank you doesn’t seem enough. Our view from here has been our favorite of all the places we’ve been. Helen and John be proud of what you have created here. You’re awesome hosts and the comforts of home in the cottage make the stay wonderful. No doubt anyone lucky enough to stay here. We look for the day to come back!
Sherri and Vicki. Columbus Ohio November, 2018 Thank you so much for letting us be guest at Faith Full View! This is exactly what we needed to let our souls be rejuvenated. Everything was perfect! We can't wait to be back next year!

We had an absolutely lovely stay. The house was everything we hoped for and everything we needed and would highly recommend. Kelly was a great help as we ended being very delayed on our way there and didn't make it to Coral Bay until almost 8 that night, but she was very responsive the whole way and got us there. If St. John is on our destination list again, I can't imagine anywhere else I'd rather stay.
Clayton, NY, May 2025 I think most of us who are there annually would say we feel like it’s our home away from home. It’s like we own a piece of it in our heart that’s just how FFV makes us feel.
Jen, March 2025 One of the best stays of my life was here at faith full view, the primary bedroom view is one you really can’t put a price on. Wake up, lean up in bed, and you’re looking out at one of the most beautiful views god has painted on this earth.
Nic, Deleware, Sept 2025 Faith Full View is the only place we will stay on STJ. Helen & John are excellent hosts, the villa has everything you could possibly need while on vacation and the location has the most incredible view you will ever see on the island. There is a peacefulness that you feel the moment you walk in and a comfort level that makes FFV really special. You can find a lot of nice places to stay on island but none as special as this. We are already booked for next year and will enjoy our time there each year for as long as Helen and John continue to rent this amazing home away from home.
Jen & Mike Connecticut January, 2020 We just stayed for 4 nights! it really could not be more perfect. We were really able to unplug and enjoy Coral Bay and that side of the Island! Helen and John are the perfect hosts, always making sure we had what we needed but allowing space! We will definitely be returning in the future.
Thank You for everything! Karen Louisville KY January, 2019 This is a really special spot on Earth. Anyone that wants a very relaxed atmosphere with one of the best views I have every seen should stay here. It will be a vacation you will never forget. The owners and Hosts John and Helen Faith are some of the best people you will ever meet. I highly recommend Faith Full View and will definitely be back.
Gary and Deedra York Farmington, Maine January, 2018 We stayed at Faith Full View for a week. EVERYTHING was amazing! This is a great place to relax and get away from your busy life. We loved the beautiful St John beaches, the pool with a beautiful view and found many close restaurants in Coral Bay. This cottage is set up with everything you need to prepare your meals and conveniences to enjoy your stay. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to St John.

Good morning Vanessa, Thank you for sharing Faith Full View with us. We had a wonderful time and it was truly perfect for everything that we needed. I honestly believe that it’s the greatest rental on the island. My wife and I loved it! It is an extremely peaceful and relaxing place to enjoy after a day of exploring the island. Kelly is awesome and does a wonderful job with everything that she does. I would 1000% recommend this place to anyone that would be thinking about traveling to St. John’s. Once again thank you for allowing us the opportunity to stay at Faith Full View. We wish you guys the very best in taking over this beautiful place.
Thank You, Buddy, Pennsylvania, May 2025 Vanessa, we had a wonderful time. The property was absolutely perfect. I was a little worried when I learned that the property had changed owners 2 weeks before our first trip to the island. However, that apprehension was completely unfounded. Faith Full View was the perfect place for us. It was so well stocked and very clean. I can't think of a single thing that could be changed.
Dan, March 2025 Where do I start. A very special place indeed. The cottage was perfect and had everything you needed. This cottage was amazing and the Views!!!!! Wow. John and Helen are great folks and we look forward to our return soon and next stay here. More than five stars.
Chris Bentonville Arkansas January, 2019⭐️⭐️ I’ve stayed at their cottage in coral bay just this September. It’s a stunning property with impeccable views. Worth way more than you give to stay there and they are such attentive and fun owners!!! Will def be back
Nikki Tampa Florida September, 2018 You can ask host John and Helen anything and they are very willing to give you advice or point you in the right direction. Beautiful sunrises to drink coffee to. This trip is #15 to St John and the most relaxing ever. We will be back here! John and Helen are amazing!
Mike and Jan Little Torch Key, Florida December, 2018 This was our second trip to St John and we were really lucky to find Faith Full View. The cottage was perfect for the two of us and the view was breathtaking. We enjoyed starting the day with breakfast on the deck watching the sunrise and ending the day with dinner under the stars. There were lots of things to do including sailing, lounging on the beach or in the water, restaurants and entertainment in nearby Coral Bay. We plan to stay at Faith Full View the next time we are on St. John. Its perfect and we wouldn't stay anywhere else!
