Grocery a little expensive; The scenery stunning; Hostess is elegant, smart and very nice, drove me with her around and explored the island; Like a companion and on vacation. Highly recommend.

My experience here was great. Jacqueline was a lovely host. Very kind, welcoming and flexible. This was my first WP, I spent 5 weeks and I'm glad that I did! She has a beautiful home and exploring the island was very fun. The tasks and hours were as expected, communication with Jacqueline was open and easy and I always felt that my opinions were heard and my efforts appreciated. Jacqueline ensured that I had what I needed to feel at home and be productive. I'm glad we connected and I'm thankful for the opportunity :)

I'm grateful for the opportunity to spend time on St. John. The island is beautiful, with incredible beaches, hiking, and history. I enjoyed learning about the island and helping at the villa. However, my experience was mixed due to the environment. I arrived during an ongoing situation with another Worldpacker, and that dynamic carried over. At times, communication felt unclear and occasionally overly controlling, which made parts of the stay uncomfortable. I almost left twice. While I value the experience, I wouldn't return. Better suited for someone very adaptable.

“Thank you for bringing your experience to my attention. Your feedback is valuable and I apologize if you felt uncomfortable and wish you could have brought this to my attention while you were here so I could address it. I really appreciated your help and enjoyed having you here. Including shared meals and outings. On your last night, I took you out for a beautiful dinner to celebrate your time here, and we ended the evening with a big hug. I strive to provide a welcoming home for all my helpers
