Found Hilcrest online and we were very pleased with our stay. Location is great, very clean room and well stocked for all your needs. Great view and Phyllis was very sweet. Our only complaints were that the bed is a bit slumpy and the noise from Cruz Bay at night from the bars is extremely loud. Besides the that we... More

Me and my husband were travelling for a last minute business/pleasure trip and he had to book fairly quickly. Besides getting some miscommunication from an owner or NO communication from owners with places showing availability for our two-night stay, my husband found Hillcrest. Phyllis responded to us quickly...which everyone take note....this will keep you in business..actually responding to potential customers.... More

We just got back from a wonderful vacation in St.John and enjoyed our stay at Hillcrest, Orchid suite. The size of the apartment was perfect for our 2 kids and us. It was clean and stocked well with lots of alcohol, drinks, snacks, and breakfast foods which saved us alot of money. It is on a hill, but we didn't... More

We accidentally booked only one night for our five night stay in St. John, so spent the remaining 4 nights in one of her rooms, last-minute. She was so accommodating! The room was ready at a moment's notice & having a kitchenette made all the difference in our stay here. Being able to make our own breakfast every day really... More

OK.....this is the real deal with Hillcrest. For those people (myself included) who are normally used to staying at 5 Star Hotels this place is not for you. And that is OK. I came to St John with a good friend last year and stayed with Phyllis for 5 days. Our goal was not to stay at a resort with... More

This is the second time we've stayed here and have not been disappointed. It's not the Ritz, but we much prefer local ambience to staying with spoiled rich kids. Phyllis is down to earth and a super innkeeper. She provides you with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hill is a tough climb but after a couple of... More

We stayed in the Front Suite in Early November 2011. The room was clean and well stocked with liquor, drink mixes, bacon, eggs, coffee, and various other small food items. Phyllis was very helpful, even coming to find us and lead us back to the house when we got lost after arriving and picking up our rental car. It is... More

Phyllis, the owner, was wonderful. Our room was stocked with wine, rum, breakfast foods, cold drinks, and even ice cream! We had a nice view of Cruz Bay and the use of coolers, snorkel gear, and free DVDs to watch in the evening. Our room was a little worn and the bathroom needed a little attention, but the outstanding price... More
