We were disappointed with our first St. John visit at Gallows Point, especially at around $1,100 a night, and wouldn’t recommend staying here. The upstairs unit’s harbor view didn’t justify the price, and the room’s upkeep was below what we expected at this level. The balcony door was visibly rotted, with a broken sweep left outside and several 2-inch screws sticking out. The toilet paper holder fell off during normal use. Several switches were upside down, including the inverted “Lutron” branding, which made the otherwise modern screwless plates feel carelessly installed. There are other signs of deferred maintenance. The structural framing looks appealing, but its exposed gusset plates are heavily rusted. I understand the challenges of a coastal setting, though comparable properties usually treat or paint these parts, and the finish quality difference is noticeable. The design has promise, but the upkeep and attention to detail don’t meet the price point.
