Jared Warren and Angie Gorneau own and manage Starlit Escape. We love it, but don’t take our word for it…here are some unedited comments from our guestbook:
“First, a huge thanks for providing such a beautiful place to stay. The Starlit Escape is just that, an escape. Just what we all needed. The accommodations, the scenery, the personal touches all made this house, this place, feel more like a home for us. Your generosity and kindness are unmatched.”
Justin, Keith, Jose and Megan, FL
“Your villa is a delicious taste of paradise! Everything is so well thought out and supplied, right down to the great kitchen and lovely pool area! We saw a flock of black parrots right from the deck. We had a wonderful vacation!”
Jolene & Kim, Duluth, MN
“Wonderful accommodations—neat house, great pool, super porch! No need for a pricy resort-just sit back, make a nice meal and enjoy a rum punch (or daiquiri) at sunset or under the moonlit sky!”
Joan & Al, Richmond, VA
“Thank you so much for a wonderful escape. Starlit Escape is an absolutely perfect honeymoon to anyone looking for a quiet, private, beautifully decorated place. The pool offered cool, discreet swims. We really appreciated the suggestions and help provided, especially the wonderful massage at our doorstep. That was fabulous! If you ever need a referral, just let us know.”
Michael and Dawnitra, GA
“This is the place to relax—snorkeling, sun and great food (and drinks)! The slow-paced island life is just what we needed, and the villa is wonderful.
Melanie & David, Ithaca, NY
“Thanks for a great place for a retreat! Nice energy on this ‘quiet’ side of St. John. The place is wonderful! Love the pool and porches and the great stars at night! Love all the birds—hummingbirds, bananaquits, cuckoos, etc. Great to have the grill, too.”
Barry’s 3rd Year Energy Healing Class, Wallingford, CT
“We loved it! Great birds right around the house! Cuckoos, kestrels, ani, kingbirds, at least two types of hummingbirds, bananaquits, doves, etc. Wow! We truly enjoyed our time at the Starlit—and special thanks for putting up the Christmas tree.”
Linda & Deny, Stone Ridge, NY
“Great vacation! The house exceeded our expectations! We loved everything. Thanks for the hospitality and all your advice. We hope to come back soon!”
Fran, Ken & Kathleen, Olympia, WA
“Thanks so much for a wonderful stay at Starlit Escape. This being our first vacation with our 20 month old twins, we weren’t sure what to expect. Your thoughtfulness, childproofing, suggestions, and great home made for a perfect and relaxing vacation. We love the island and this location is spectacular. We plan to return to St. John again, and hope to stay at Starlit Escape.”
The West Family, MD
“Lovely house! Nice surroundings. Thanks for a great week in paradise!”

“All you could ask for was right here. Great house, deck, pool and grounds. We’ll be back!”

“We loved every minute of our trip…we were very, very pleased with the house and your service. I would be happy to verify for anyone who’s interested that the pictures you posted on your internet site are actual unretouched photos of the house!”
Ann & Dan, Lincoln, NE
“We found Starlit Escape to be delightful. It is a very clean place that’s located on a flat parcel with a beautiful pool. There is great walking in the area. All of St. John’s beaches are nearby as well as the Virgin Islands National Park. We thought the prices were very reasonable for such a big place.”
Bert & Marie
“Fabulous villa! Starlit Escape is now our favorite home away from home! Very well stocked—right down to the kitchen items, beach towels, games, reading library and bar supplies. The great room is wonderful, the pool is cool, the night-time sky is awesome. Very neat, very clean, much better than advertised. We are so thrilled to be coming back next year!”
Jean, Tom & family, Charleston, SC
