About Sally JaggarThree couples jointly own Calypso del Sol. We all live in Northern Virginia and have known each other for years. St. John has been the scene of many special events for us...one of the couples even got married on St. John!Sally Jaggar purchased this House in 2005Why Sally Jaggar chose Estate Chocolate Hole and Great Cruz BayWe all LOVE St. John and purchased Calypso to have a wonderful villa to share with others as well as a great place to stay ourselves. We're convinced that St. John is the best island in the Caribbean because it is so beautiful, the people who live there are wonderful, and the island is 2/3 National Park and therefore protected from over-development.What makes this House uniqueAt Calypso, we especially love the fabulous sunsets, the big pool, the screened porch, and the perfect location close enough to Cruz Bay but way quiet. Oh yes, and the birds and iguanas. It's like a bird sanctuary, overlooking a salt pond as well as the ocean.

Beautiful villa and pool. Gorgeous location over looking Chocolate Hole and out to the ocean. House was clean, nicely appointed with everything we needed or wanted. Signature, the rental company, was outstanding. Very quick to respond to everything including recommendations on where to eat. Our 2 week stay gave us a mid stay cleaning that was superb. Try it, you\'ll love it!
We had a great time at Calyspo Del Sol! The house is great for giving everyone their own space with bedrooms/bathrooms and lots of great common areas to hang out as well. We had some very small issues that were resolved promptly by the management company! Our greeter gave us some of the best info on the island also! Highly recommend staying here!
This was our second stay at Calypso and our sixth to St. John, and we had an amazing trip. Calypso del Sol was as nice as we remembered it to be. The master bedroom upstairs and other bedrooms downstairs give a nice separation between groups of people, and yet you can all gather on the sundeck, or porch, or in the great room for meals and drinks. We spent a lot of time on the covered porch watching the sunset in the evenings, and Chocolate Hole and the ocean during the mornings. We used the screened in porch a lot as well, as it makes sitting outside in the evenings quite pleasurable. We typically travel in mid-December. The weather on this trip was the best we\'ve ever encountered - low humidity, just enough clouds for a break from the sun now and again, and cool breezy evenings. As a bonus, there were relatively few mosquitos this year. We also took advantage of the wonderful pool at Calypso, quite a bit. Although we love going to the beaches and snorkeling, my wife and I had two pool days out of the ten we stayed, where we just lazed around the villa and pool. It\'s actually a great way to spend your first day after the long travel, which you can follow up with a trip to town for dinner in the evening. We brought my my wife\'s parents on this trip (their first St. John visit!) and they loved the pool. They weren\'t up for the beach trek every day like we were, so they spent a few more days enjoying the pool and hot tub. We appreciated that Calypso had beach chairs, beach towels, coolers, and an umbrella available for us to make beach trips easy. The updates you made since our last visit in 2015, and since the hurricanes, added a nice touch. We were glad to see the villa made it through the storms without too much trouble. The new furniture was very nice and comfortable for reading and talking. It was nice to see so many signs of recovery on the island from the 2017 Hurricanes, Irma and Maria. Although many of our favorite restaurants were still closed (Waterfront Bistro, Ocean Grill), we found some great alternatives. The Longboard was one of our favorites on this visit - we went several times for the wahoo and hamachi poke bowls! I had several great salads, all with Josephine\'s Greens in them. Also, the Tap and Still had very juicy burgers and great fries for cheap! All in all, it was a great trip, and we appreciate you hosting us for a second time!
Wonderful: had everything we needed. Loved that the other 2 bedrooms were down stairs and the master upstairs. Great house, close enough to everything, wish I had more time to stay I guess that means I need to return,, Thanks for a great vacation.
