The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful with any and all questions or concerns. Close enough to Cruz Bay but far enough it’s quiet. The views are amazing!  Would definitely stay again!! - Shaneon

The apartment is in a strategic quiet location with great sea view. It is well decorated, extremely well kept, clean and very well equipped with whatever you need for a great vacation, from beach stuff to kitchen pots and utensils. Charlie, the local host, warmly  welcomed us on our arrival, with lots of tips and bottles of wine and prosecco. Througout our stay, he has been very responsive to our needs and wishes, while leaving us plenty of privacy. We strongly recommend this property for a great exploration of beautiful St. John, definitely worth the listed price ! - Gianpaolo

This place was great

The best, super helpful

This place was great

Everything was new and the unit was supplied with everything you could need or want - toaster, pots and pans, coffee maker, (even a pizza pan), hair dryer, iron, storage containers, baggies, saran wrap, seasonings, beer, water, soda and ice waiting in refrigerator, etc.  Even the toilet paper was not that cheap stuff usually stocked in Airbnbs.  Air Conditioning not needed but worked great.  Great shower.  Washer, dryer.  Quiet area. Shambles Bar and Grill and Windmill Restaurant short 2-minute drive from rental. The place had beach chairs, beach towels, coolers, hose to rinse feet and equipment, clothesline, nice deck, deck chairs and table, etc. Charlie was super nice and helpful.  This was our 10th stay on St John and this place had more items than any other place.  We plan to return. - Stuart

This place was great

Deanna was very quick to respond to our questions. The place is exactly as pictured. Charles was incredibly hospitable and an all around awesome guy! The place is very clean and in a great location to explore the island. There were cold drinks waiting for us in the fridge and Charles gave us great recommendations and couldn’t have been a better host. Hope to come back soon and rent Deanna’s place again. We can’t say enough great things about this place. - Courtney

We very much enjoyed our four night stay at Takin it Breezy! Very clean, everything we could possibly need, and beautiful deck to enjoy. It was a quick drive to Cruz Bay and very close to the Windmill Bar. Snorkel gear and chairs and beach towels were included and very much appreciated. Charlie was a great host and called us to help us find the property when it was rainy and dark. We would definitely stay here again!!! - Sandy

Charlie and his wife are very nice and welcoming people, the instructions for finding their apartment were very clear. Once there it was even better than we thought. Everything was very very clean and functional. The plus was the fridge with water, beers and other drinks. The terrace with a great layer of sun and the proximity of the famous windmill bar. We park the jeep in front of our door. It was a heavenly place where we plan to return very quickly. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU - Olivier

Absolutely perfect

A rare find, extra special

Will definitely rebook

We have never been so sad to leave a place as we are today. Charlie and Debbie made everything absolutely perfect for our stay. Deanna was an excellent communicator and guide. The location could not be better. A short 10 minute drive from Cruz Bay along a main road made travel a breeze. We could access any part of the island with ease. The Windmill Bar and Shambles Bar were two of our favorite spots and a three minute drive from the house.
This was the cleanest and most well appointed vacation rental we’ve ever experienced. We were able to use their snorkeling equipment and beach gear. Everything was top-notch. The grounds were beautiful. Absolutely immaculate. The apartment cooled off within minutes of turning on the air conditioning. Super hot water for the showers. We weren’t quite sure what to expect with having the owners on site, but it was so nice! They are delightful people. We were able to have as much privacy as we wanted. We will be coming back to Takin’ It Breezy! - Melissa

We had the most wonderful stay at Takin’ it Breezy! From the moment we booked, Deanna and Charlie were both incredibly communicative and personable. It's rare to find such warm and welcoming hosts, which really made the stay feel extra special.
The property itself is just stunning—immaculate and well-maintained. The vegetation around the property is so beautiful and sunsets were magical. The unit was spotless, and it is clear the hosts put a lot of care into keeping everything in perfect condition. The place is fully stocked with all the essentials, and we felt like we had everything we needed to make ourselves at home. It is a serene escape!
We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience, and would 100% stay here again. If you’re considering booking this place, don’t hesitate - you won’t regret it!! - Eliza

I just got back from staying at Taking it Breezy this place is amazing, it was spotless and it had everything that you would need. And the bed was super comfortable. The hosts Charlie and Debbie were amazing, such kind people and very helpful.  I wasn’t able to get to my car rental by 6:00 so Charlie picked us up at the ferry dock and the next day drove us to Cruz Bay to get the jeep. I will definitely stay here again. I look forward to it. - Mary

I want to thank Charlie and Debbie for sharing their beautiful home with us. We have been to the island several times and this trip was even better because of Takin' It Breezy. We loved the location. It was private and surrounded by natural beauty. You do need a car, but driving a Jeep around the island is so much fun. As mentioned, the apartment was perfect! It was spotless, had all the amenities that you would want and very comfortable. It really did feel like home. We are so looking forward to returning. Thank you! - Denise

Takin It Breezy is hands down the place to stay on St John. The on-site hosts are so helpful and kind, you feel right at home when you arrive.

Easily the cleanest AirBnB

HIGHLY recommend staying here

HIGHLY recommend staying here

We were so fortunate to enjoy a week at this lovely property. It is pristine; easily the cleanest AirBnB or rental home I’ve ever stayed at! It gleams. The materials and furnishings are up to date, comfortable and high quality. The property is thoughtfully equipped with everything you need (and more!) to enjoy a great stay. All the modern amenities are here: new ac, fast Wi-Fi, laundry, parking, beach gear, spa shower, new kitchen & grill.  Seriously just need your bathing suit and toothbrush. The deck and views are lovely, and it’s a great neighborhood location near town, beaches and hiking. Only thing better than the property were the wonderful hosts. They are warm, welcoming and happy to share their decades of island knowledge; all while being totally respectful of your privacy. The pre stay guide provided was excellent, as well. Absolutely perfect stay.  Hope to be fortunate enough to return! - Logan

First off, Charlie and Debbie were the best hosts I've experienced on AB&B. Their home was beautiful and exactly as described (actually even better!) St John is an amazing place and Charlie and Debbie were very knowledgeable about the island and provided great tips.
We will not hesitate to return or to recommend  this beautiful home to friends and family. This home is a  perfect places to explore the stunning island from and return to for a peaceful  night. Views from deck better than pictured. Book with Charlie and Debbie, you'll be glad you did! - Stephen

Large deck with expansive views

Friendly and respectful of privacy

Beautiful property with exceptional host!

Taking It Easy was the cleanest space I have ever rented!  Extremely comfortable bed, beautiful new tiled full bathroom, compact kitchen where we easily prepared meals. And  it had a large deck with expansive views; sunsets from the deck were lovely. The front yard with abundant plantings was most attractive.
Charlie and Debbie have put their heart and soul into making this their home and yours while you stay. Charlie met us upon arrival.,  helped carry in our luggage,and explained everything. They had stocked the frig with many waters, beer, sparkling wine, flavored waters  and hard seltzers. These are very generous owners. Deanna is their daughter-in-law and the manager; she was easy to contact and was very responsive to questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! - Lucinda

We had an amazing stay. I would recommend renting a jeep for traveling to and from the property. This property was immaculate with full amenities. The owners live upstairs and were SOOOO friendly and accommodating. They provided us snorkel gear, beach chairs, towels etc. AND when we had to return our jeep early, they came and picked us up from town and dropped us at the ferry AND when my husband left his passport in the unit, Charlie drove it down to us in town! Charlie was always very helpful and responsive. I couldn’t have stayed at a better property. The service really made this place special.- Jean

We had a wonderful stay at Takin' it Breezy. The location was convenient for getting to beaches and into town. Deanna and Charlie provided everything we needed (snorkel gear, beach chairs, etc.). Made our stay on St. John so easy. Deanna's guide book is super detailed. I was a little worried about finding the house because gps is unreliable. Deanna's instructions were very clear, and we had no trouble. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning to St. John again in the future! - Alyssa
