My wife and I took 3 other couples to stay at Great Expectations in March of 2014 and felt like royalty in our very own St. John mansion. The eight of us stayed on the villa's main side (with 4 matching bedrooms, each with their own outdoor shower) and spent mornings sharing coffee, breakfast and stories in the great room. Most days we drove rented Jeeps to the beach and ended up at happy hour, followed by either dinner in Cruz Bay or Coral Bay or we ended back at the villa grilling some fresh fish while watching the sunset. All 8 of us could not have had a better vacation and especially loved the various pool areas, hot tubs and hammocks where we could be together or alone, depending on the mood.
