Guest Testimonials:

Although Kiwi Cliffs is a brand new short term rental, we have already gotten quite a bit of positive feedback from our guests. Please read what our new guests are saying along with what guests from our previous rental home, "Kiwi Villa" - just up the hill from Kiwi Cliffs - have said. As we like to mention about the new "Kiwi", all the amenities and personal touches have remained the same, just the home and views have gotten better!

Testimonials for "Kiwi Cliffs":

"We had an absolutely wonderful time at Kiwi Cliffs. From the property manager who met us at the airport, to the entire week in paradise at the home, our expectations were exceeded. The property is in outstanding shape, and the layout and views are even better than what's shown on the website. The beds and furniture are quite comfortable. The rooms are spacious, and the entire property is quiet. And the pool is breathtaking. We also found the tips book to be quite helpful. We can't imagine staying anywhere else in St. Thomas than at Kiwi Cliffs!"
- Frank, Illinois

"Kiwi Cliffs Villa was a great experience from reservations through receipt of deposit. Working with owners Phil & Alisa was a pleasure and caretakers Eddie & Mary are friendly and helpful as well. The villa itself is laid-out perfectly for being together or for privacy. The location is unbelievable, one of the best views from a villa that I have ever experienced which includes Positano, Italy on the Amalfi Coast. When you are there you will never see another person, it's your own little beautiful world. I never wanted to leave the villa, just wanted to stay in the pool all day staring at the seascape and listening to the water crashing on the rocks below. This place is certainly what you see is what you get, no false advertising here. Also for renting a car, you can't beat the personal family service and quality of Amalie Car Rental. Thanks Phil & Alisa, we hope to come back soon !!"

"Just a quick note to thank you for allowing us to stay at your breathtaking villa. We had a fabulous stay on St. Thomas, and will definitely be back! The ammenities you provide your guests and that fabulous view! WOW... there just are no words! Loved the privacy, the pool... and did I mention the view?! Thanks again... can't wait to go back!"
- Randy & Judy, Florida

"Thank you again for the absolutely, breathtaking stay at your villa! We had our party of 8 come to St. Thomas for our wedding, and Kiwi Cliffs was just the slice of heaven to begin our journey in life together! The views and the wonderful sunsets simply cannot be given justice in any picture. Our family recommends whole heart-idly that this villa is the perfect place to relax and also a perfect place to get married! We will cherish every moment we had there! We didn't want to leave and we are absolutely looking forward to coming back on our next anniversary!"
- Chad and Melissa, Oklahoma

"Amazing, spectacular, simply wonderful. Just a few choice words, I simply cannot describe how much fun we had at the villa. It in my opinion was the best spot on the Island to stay. Right on the side of the cliff looking over the crystal blue water. Watching the pelicans dive for fish in the morning and flying just a few feet over you while you are laying in the pool. We stayed at the villa for 12 wonderful days. With the wedding on the beach and the perfect accomadations at the villa, it was like a dream come true. More perfect than anyone could imagine! Something we will never forget! We are already taking about next year returning for our anniversary. We can't thank you enough for everything. And Eddie was great - he came to check on us and was awesome to just chat with.

What a beautiful house you have with just all the right touches. The pictures do not do the villa justice. You just have to see it, stay there and have a ball. We sure did!"
- Jeff and Kim, Ohio

"I thought it best to e-mail you to express my utter delight with Kiwi Cliffs. My friends and I are very well-traveled and have spent a lot of time in the Caribbean over the years. We've rented villas on many different islands but NONE have come close to providing the beauty, ambience and exquisite comfort of your beautiful home. In fact, we were so taken with the glorious views that we were reluctant to sightsee or even shop in world-famous Charlotte Amalie!

The house is just so perfect for gatherings such as ours -- old friends who haven't seen one another for a while as well as friends who just enjoy each others company. Each and every one of my guests had a ball and in fact, one couple may be interested in renting for a family gathering early next year. We're trying to put plans together for next year to do it all over again and will be in touch with you as soon as we can."

PS. Thank you for your prompt return of the security deposit. It's a pleasure doing business with honest, straight-shooters.
- Collette, Connecticut

"The vacation was wonderful! Everyone loved the house, it was great for privacy. But-- the view, absolutely stunning! We spent most of our time outside when we were home. We found the book you have put together filled with so much useful information. Our personal favorite for food was Indigo of the recommended places close to home.

The ladies are already asking for a return trip to Kiwi Cliffs! I can't wait to return!"
- Patti, Florida

"Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us for the past two weeks...my husband and I had a wonderful time celebrating our one year anniversary. We ate some great food, explored the island for the first time, and enjoyed the stellar weather - what more could you ask for!"
- Shannon, New Jersey

"We have returned from our stay at your lovely villa on the island of St. Thomas and had an absolutely wonderful time. We missed the plane out of Wichita (go figure!) so had to take a cab to Mahogany Run and then try to find the house. That was fun!!!! The others who had arrived ON TIME met Michael (son of Eddie) and Magdalena (Amalie Car) with the rental car and were at the villa when we arrived about an hour and a half behind them. I never met either one during the stay but was told they were absolutely wonderful and helpful. Constantin (Amalie Car) met us at the airport and it was so easy to just turn the keys over to him and walk away.

We had a truly wonderful time there and I am certainly looking forward to a repeat visit. We sailed with Capt Max and First Mate Julie on what turned out to be the best weather day there. I would say that day was the highlight as far as excursions.....which were limited to that and eating out and shopping.

We were good stewards of your property and enjoyed every inch of it. We also enjoyed the daily visits from the iguanas. We only saw one big one at a time so I don't know if there is more than one big guy around or not....but he was enough to get our attention. He evidently hasn't read your material as he would walk the infinity wall to the pool. We tried to warn him........

People have asked us if the property was as good as the pictures and our response has been "Better!" Thanks again for sharing your property with us. It is a beautiful home and we thoroughly enjoyed it!"
- Susan, Kansas

"Laid Back Luxury - 10 days of pure relaxation. The villa was everything that it was represented to be on the web site. This was our second trip to St. Thomas - and we enjoyed the north side of the island a little more because the breezes were very cooling. No need to even turn on the a/c! The pool and deck area is where we spent 90% of our time. You would be hard pressed to find a nicer set up. Amalie Car met us at the airport and their property manager escorted us to the villa.

All in all this was exactly what we were looking for and expect to be back next year."
- Brent, Alberta

"Paradise in Paradise - What can we say other than WOW! My husband and I vacationed at Kiwi Cliffs for our honeymoon and could not believe it was better than the pictures. The views were breath taking and the privacy was wonderful (no fighting over lounge chairs by the pool like at a resort).

One thing, it's really big and for just two people you kind of get overwhelmed at first, next time we go we will definitely invite SEVERAL friends. Another thing, this house has a lot of the latest technological advancements, so if you're not familiar with how these things work, you may find yourself spending a lot of time looking at owner manuals.

We had such a wonderful time here and can't wait to go back."
- Greg, Louisiana

"Kiwi Cliffs Villa is everything that is advertised on the web site and more. To give everyone some perspective, we have rented villas in St. Croix, South Padre Island Texas, San Diego, Old Orchard Beach Maine, York Beach Maine to name a few and this villa was the best we have stayed in. Taking nothing away from our other vacation rentals that were all good to great, but Kiwi Cliffs is a notch above. For our traveling companions this was their first villa rental and they were in awe of the villa, amenities, comfort and views. The views from the villa were dynamic from every angle. The amenities, appliances and extras at Kiwi Cliffs were terrific, abundant and very useful. It was the above and beyond touches that made this villa better than any we had stayed at. Bedrooms were well furnished and very comfortable and the baths were terrific. The indoor/outdoor stereo system was a nice touch, the satellite TVs came in handy to watch the Red Sox clinch a playoff spot.

Upon arrival the property manager was at the airport and most accommodating. He was also available during the week and gave a friendly check in call a couple of times. It was service like this that made our stay much better. We felt very secure at the villa from the complex security to the gated entry of the villa. Both couples came home from a perfect vacation and it was in large part due to Kiwi Cliffs Villa.

Thank You to Alisa and Phil and when we vacation on St. Thomas there will only be one place we choose for our villa location, Kiwi Cliffs Villa."
- June and Wayne, Massachusetts

"We really enjoyed our stay at your villa in November, with it's million dollar view. We left it with tears in our eyes. The place is furnished beautifully & we could not have asked for anything else. We enjoyed our trip to St Thomas & would DEFINATELY stay at your place again. Your villa was well stocked & was the nicest villa we have stayed in all our travels to the Caribbean. I loved the suede cloth curtains in the upstairs Master bedroom & the downstairs Tv room. They were beautiful. The views from the house & decks are beyond description. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful villa. I have shown my pictures to so many people & have given them your web site address. Thank you again for your letters to give us info on the villa & your quick response to our reservation request. We hope to stay at Kiwi Cliffs again in the near future and that the New Year brings you lots of reservations, the villa sells itself without any description !!!"
- Rolf & Jackie, Pennsylvania

"We had a fabulous Thanksgiving in St. Thomas while our kids were on break from school. Kiwi Cliffs was the perfect home to relax after a long day of snorkeling, sailing, and fun-in-the-sun without the crowds of a resort. The view and crashing waves of the ocean was the "stress free" vacation we all needed. My favorite was watching the sunrise from the bed and the view out the shower's bathroom window. Most important, it's central location made it easy for us to explore St. Thomas & St. John with our own car. This trip was "one to remember" ...Magen's Bay, Coki Beach, Red Hook, Trunk Bay, Hawksnest, as you can see by our picture perfect photographs. Tell Eddie we hated to leave without thanking him for his hospitality. You have what everybody wants... island time and memories that never slip away. Hope to visit again soon.

Thanks for sharing KCV vacation home!"
- Marcus and Mary, Florida

"We had an absolutely wonderful time at the villa! It really is an amazing house and I am glad we found your website. ...My husband and I would definitely be interested in visiting again."
- Maggie, Virginia

"We had a incredibly good time. Your pictures on the web of the villa are very accurate - we are still dreaming about the beauty of your villa. You guys have something very special. We would like to return with family and friends next year. Please tell Eddie "hello" - he is the best!"
- Kolin, Cary, North Carolina

"I wanna come back, love your house!!!"
- Brian, Florida

"The house was great, we really had a good time, and Kat (the personal chef) was perfect. She got everything we needed and the quality was excellent. We look forward to renting the house again hopefully in the near future."
- Jared, New York

Testimonials from our previous rental home, "Kiwi Villa":

"Thank you for allowing us to use your wonderful home! The views are breathtaking and the sound of the waves hitting the rocks below just tops off the experience. The house is layed out perfectly for relaxation. We took advantage of all your amenities: DVD collection, Stereo inside and out with cd collection, the pool, beach equipment, and fully stocked kitchen! It was everything we needed. Your website is very useful as well! The views are more spectacular than you can show from mere pictures, but it gives you a good sense of what to expect.

We also took advantage of the reccommendations from your website for restaurants (Old Stone Farmhouse, was the best restaurant we have been to in the caribbean!). Daydreamer day sail and jet Ski rentals, Amalie car rental, Ferry times and rates to St. John! It was a super tool for planning our vacation before arriving and everythng went smoothly. My only suggestion would be to add a map of St Thomas and St. John.

Thanks again for a wonderful experience."
- Jose, Miami, Florida
Note: We have added to our Guest Center detailed maps of Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, Mahogany Run and are working on the St. John map!

"We had a wonderful time at your beautiful Kiwi Villa.........thank you!"
- Darren, Palm Harbor, Florida

"My wife and I went to St. Thomas in May. Kiwi Villa was great with plenty of room for three couples, a large group, or family. The view is spectacular from both the rooms and the large deck area and the kitchen, dining, and living areas are roomy and well arranged. The villa is stocked with linens and towels as well as kitchen items and a Bar-B-Q grill. The pool is a wonderful way to cool off and spend some time outside. Jermaine was our guide from the airport. He was most knowledgeable about the island and very helpful when we arrived at the villa. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return in the future."
- Greg, Hattiesburg, Mississippi

"Just a sad email today because we are leaving Kiwi Villa. All good things have to come to an end. Although the kids are in the pool as I write this.

We had an incredible, incredible stay here. No words can describe it. We can't thank you guys enough."
- Fred and Lisa, Rockwall, Texas

"We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our time at Kiwi Villa. The house is beautiful, well maintained and comfortable. We enjoyed all the amenities. Love the kitchen and the way it was equipped. The bedrooms are very nice....beds were the most comfortable we have experienced on vacation (not like a hotel bed). Your support staff (Jermaine and Eddie) were top notch, very flexible and easy to work with. Despite the problems with the safe, we appreciate Eddie's endeavors to correct the problem. We also enjoyed the security and privacy of being in Mahogany Run.

Basically, our vacation experience at Kiwi Villa beat any previous vacation experience at a resort, time share, etc. hands down."
- Carol and Preston, Fort Worth, Texas

"We had a wonderful time at Kiwi Villa! It was the perfect place for our family vacation... We all left very refreshed and happy (and tan/burnt :) Thank you for making it such an easy process..."
- Peggy, South Hamilton, Massachusetts

"Kiwi Villa is absolutely beautiful and is even more fantastic than we expected.

(In an earlier note) - You have an outstanding website and reservation system. Its the small details that causes potential visitors to have trust in sending payment and reserving your villa. We are very excited and June can't come quickly enough."
- Bobby, Jacksonville, Florida

"I wanted to let you know that we had the most amazing time at the villa, it is absolutely breath-taking - from the villa itself, to the interior decorating, to the view. We could not have asked for more. The pictures don't do it justice!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay there, it's a truly beautiful magical place, and nobody wanted to leave. I can't believe you guys are actually able to rent it out, I'd probably keep it all to myself!"
- Iesa, Wrentham, Massachusetts

"Richard just returned from his trip and had a wonderful time at the villa! I wanted to thank-you personally for all you did with this booking. He said it was the most well equipped rental he has ever stayed in. The villa we clean and very secluded....more than he expected."
- Jalene, Edmonton, Canada

"Very relaxing vacation. Spectacular views and comfortable surroundings greeted us upon arrival. There were two couples in our group and we had plenty of space and privacy. I highly recommend this villa to anyone that is looking for isolation amongst plenty of activities. Havana Blue, Old Stone House and Indigo are wonderful restaurants when you do not feel like cooking. Mahogany Run Golf Course was a pleasant challenge as was the hiking on the island of St. Johns. Enjoy!"
- Jeff and Sandy, Wisconsin

"We had a wonderful time. Your home is beautiful and the view isn't bad either :-) You may want to mention that you can "hear the soft breaking of the waves in the distance" or something of the sort. Driving around the island, there aren't many homes that have that feature. I will definately tell those that are interested.

Thanks again. It was very special. You have put a lot of thought into your villa making sure everything one would need is there."
- Korina, Oconomowoc, Wisconsin

"We've had a wonderful time! We hate to leave :). I can't believe it's already been 10 days!! We would definately come back again. We love the villa. It's not a bad flight from national, although I wish spirit went out of dulles. The kids had a fantastic time as well. I have some great photos of the villa, including a great photo of a rainbow over hans lollick. I can send you some if you want.

Thank you again. The villa was completely well equipped and Eddie and his crew were wonderful and Genie was awesome as well. Back to cold Virginia, boo hoo."
- Alison, Ashburn, Virginia
