Nancy’s Folly is a simply beautiful home and it exceeded our expectations in every way! The views of Rendezvous Bay are spectacular! This home is immaculately clean, spacious, well furnished and well appointed. There is no question that a lot of thought, time and care went into making this home special. The open floor plan, cathedral ceilings and walk-in stone shower with views of the bay are just part of what make this home amazing! Our favorite feature was the patio that runs the entire length of the bay side of the home. It has three large sliding glass doors accessing the master bedroom,and the living room and the dining areas. These doors allow a wonderful breeze to continuously blow into the house. (We did not use the A/C during our visit in August at all.) We enjoyed the patio for breakfast in the morning, drinks in the evening and looking at the stars over the bay at night. It was hard to leave this lovely home and explore the island every day!
So many extras were also provided that made our stay even more enjoyable, for example, there is a good size cooler along with ice packs, beach towels, beach chairs and even a beach umbrella! The kitchen is fully equipped and everything is spotless!
We also liked the location of the home. It is located in a quiet residential area not too far outside of Cruz Bay. This is important because driving in St. John can be a challenge. The roads are narrow, twisting and STEEP! We live in a very mountainous area, so we were surprised by the sometimes perilous roads on St. John! The speed limit on the island is between 10 - 20 miles per hour and trust us, you won't want to go much faster! Being near town is really imperative if you plan to spend time in Cruz Bay, where most of the restaurants and shopping is located.
There are many statues of Moko Jumbies tastefully placed inside Nancy’s Folly. Moko Jumbies are stilt walkers that are important figures in Caribbean celebrations. They are considered healing spirits. Nancy’s Folly was the perfect place for us to unwind, relax and “heal” from our busy lives. This home just has good vibes! We would definitely stay in Nancy’s Folly again and would highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone visiting St. John!
