Eco-Luxury Paradise with Amazing Views & Pool

Welcome to Dove Cottage. This is St. John's first eco-luxury vacation rental. I re-designed the house to maximize the views and comfort while ensuring harmony with the environment. Around every corner is an incredible view and a welcoming daybed or chaise to curl up on with a book or a friend.

The north part of the house has a screen porch on the top floor- attached to the master bedroom- and overlooks the outdoor living room and pool area with views of the passing boats on the Sir Francis Drake channel and Tortola and Jost Van Dyke. The south side of the house also has a huge porch, as well as a garden with hammock, and views toward Coral Bay, the Caribbean sea and St. Croix.

I have lived here on and off for the past few years and have had a blast enjoying the house with my friends and family, but now it is time to share this special place with others. At Dove Cottage you are just minutes from amazing beaches and the town of Coral Bay, yet totally private and secluded to have fun and relax on your holiday. Enjoy!

Although we are happy to welcome groups of adults and have had many happy customers, the home is ideal for one couple or a couple with kids due to the attached bedrooms upstairs (NOT suited for 4 adults.) Feel free to contact us to better understand the layout if you are considering booking with more than 2 guests. Please note this eco cottage does not have AC, but is equipped with ceiling fans and standing fans for your comfort.
The villa features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

Just beautiful

The property is just beautiful. Pictures don’t even do it justice. We had our honeymoon and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Although it is farther out on the east end it was worth the drive for the peace and tranquility. We recommend it to everyone looking for solitude and beauty.

Dove Cottage Was Amazing

Dove Cottage is truly amazing. We have been to the Caribbean about a dozen times. The views from the cottage are unparalleled. The location is secluded, private, quiet, and away from distraction. We had never stayed at a property with a saltwater pool before and found it to be an unexpected treat - no chlorine smell, warm and comfortable, and the pool deck is unbelievable. The property is located on the East End of St John, which is a hefty drive from Cruz Bay and many of the most popular beaches. Coral Bay is closer, and does not have the same amenities but is convenient for a quick necessities run. This is not a bad thing - the location means you will have quiet seclusion without tourists thronging outside of your hotel. It also provides what we found to be the most amazing view on the island bar none - when you see Tortola from the pool deck, you will have difficulty topping it in future adventures. Truly mind blowing. Jared and the Unique Island Assets team are fantastic. The communication is easy and fluid, they make sure you are well informed, and will quickly address any questions or concerns. They do so without being intrusive - it was well done all around. We also found that our rental car agency and other services on the island were equally friendly and helpful. We would definitely return to Dove Cottage again, and have recommended it to some of our friends. If you have the privilege to stay here, you will not regret it.

Quiet with a fantastic pool and beautiful views

Lovely property, the outdoor pool was our favorite part. The views from the pool and pool deck were phenomenal. It was on the east end so quiet which we liked but definitely a drive to get anywhere. Spiral staircase was super cool looking but not practical, would be difficult for older people or littler kids. Probably the only thing we would have liked more was having air conditioning.

Relaxing, beautiful property in St. John - worth the drive!

This was our first visit to St. John, and we could not have been happier with our choice of this property. Communication with the hosts was outstanding, the home has great amenities and even greater views and charm. Don't be scared off by the East End location - yes, it is a bit longer drive (though everyone has a drive in St. John), but the northside beaches are less than 30 min away, Cruz Bay restaurants are about 35-40 min away, and Coral Bay is less than a 15 minute drive. The trade-off is unmatched views of Tortola and North Haulover bay to the north and Hansen Bay to the south. (We even snorkeled at Hansen Bay/Pelican Rock and saw some nice reefs, giant turtles, rays, etc.). Although there is no A/C, the hosts provide plenty of fans and natural ventilation and we were comfortable at night even in early June. We would definitely return!

Simply wonderful!

Our family of five (kids ages 3, 11 and 12) loved our time at Dove Cottage. The setting is magical, and the house is very comfortable. We can’t wait to go back! Jared and Keri were wonderful in helping us navigate activities, car rental, groceries, etc. and I was very thankful we had them as a resource. We could not have asked for a better place to enjoy some family time and explore all that St. John has to offer.

Paradise found!

It’s hard to find words to describe our amazing week at Dove Cottage and Saint John. The house was beautiful, clean, and perfect for our family of four (kids ages 7 and 4). All the bedrooms are on the top floor and we enjoyed the evening breeze with the open floor plan and screened porch/windows (all of which can be closed off if preferred). The pool and property were beautiful. The location offers picturesque views from both the front and back of the house. Coral Bay is about a 15 minute drive with several restaurants and small grocery stores. Cruz Bay is about a 35 minute drive. We loved being on the east end of the island because it’s quiet and the views can’t be beat. Hansen Bay beach is a 5 minute drive and the beaches on the northwest part of the island (there are several and they are amazing) are an easy 25-30 minute drive. We snorkeled at every beach by just swimming a short distance from shore and throughout the week, saw stingray, sea turtles, squid and all kinds of fish. We also saw flamingos at salt pond beach. I would highly recommend Dove Cottage (Estate Hansen Bay) and Saint John for a spectacular beach vacation and amazing house, property, and pool. We definitely plan to be back and stay at this property again!

I travel with my husband and kids all over the world. Dove Cottage was the most spectacular place we have ever stayed. Keri and Jared took such wonderful care of us, connecting us with terrific fishing guides, kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkeling adventures. We intended to build in Costa Rica, but after this experience, we will instead focus on the magical East End of St. John.

Staying at Dove cottage was an amazing experience that I can't wait to do again. We have stayed in many different homes and this one had it all. Open air concept, views , comfortable interior, outdoor shower! Kitchen was well equipped, pool was a nice way to relax in the afternoon and we have a 5 year old that lived it too! No air conditioning, but I didn't mind at all. Make sure to star gaze at night, I've never seen a sky so clear. No bugs either :) well, a few spiders, and lizards lol but no harm. I highly recommend spending a vacation here. **this home is on the east end and away from Cruz Bay quite a bit. So if you are looking for a bunch of shopping or stores near by, this would be a tough but beautiful stay! Look forward to getting back next year.

This property is even better in person! We arrived near sunset and the view took our breath away. You definitely need to have a Jeep to stay at this property but this would go for most properties on the island. We had the best stay here. It is a small drive into town, but worth it! We loved that the house is located in the quieter East End of the island. It was nice to feel like we didn’t have other neighbors too close by. We had an absolutely fabulous stay and can’t wait to visit again!

Charming cottage

This was our first trip to St. John. Such a great place to connect with nature. Loved waking up in the morning and hearing the goats that were wandering by for their daily stroll. Location of Dove Cottage was just what we were looking for. We were looking for a place that had views, a pool and privacy. This place had them all and so much more! Loved the outdoor shower! The house was well stocked and not with "well used" items like many other rentals we've stayed at, this includes all the towels too. We were also thankful for the cottage being supplied with shampoo, conditioner and body wash since we were without our luggage for a few days due to the airlines. Very well maintained home. If we are fortunate to be able to return to St. John someday we will definitely stay at Dove Cottage again!

Unforgettable week

We are just returning from a week at Dove Cottage. I booked this trip as a surprise for my family (husband and two boys 18 and 12). As amazing as St John is, the house made the trip. The views and peacefulness you get at Dove Cottage are perfect for a family getaway. The only thing to note is there is minimal privacy for adults in the master bedroom area. Obviously, a small adjustment to the unique and serene atmosphere Dove Cottage offers. We will be booking again for our next trip!

a MUST stay!

This was our fourth trip to St. John and by far our favorite house! The pool and wildlife who came to visit us each day at the pool were amazing; the outdoor showers were the BEST, and the house size was perfect for our family of four (two adults and two teenagers). The spiral staircase is no joke, as others have commented, but we managed it fine and used the back staircase to move in and out. Do note that the upstairs bedroom for the adults is not conducive to privacy since the two small rooms are an offshoot of the main bedroom. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed and Jared was very responsive. We did need to ask Jared for an add'l fan b/c our week was super hot with not a lot of wind so if you are someone who can't live w/o A/C then rent knowing the crosswinds make all the difference. Another aspect we appreciated based on all previous stays in the ease of getting in and out of the driveway - this was smooth and not a high slope - our past driveways were dicey and frankly scary. It was hard to leave this house and St. John!!

Once in a lifetime views!

We absolutely loved this beautiful home! The views truly take your breath away from every corner of the house. We enjoyed sunny days wading in the pool and watched a rainstorm under the back porch. Even in August, the house was perfectly comfortable (lots of air flow & fans). We can’t say enough good things about this house—you have to see for yourself! One note, location is secluded and ~30 minute drive to Cruz Bay/beaches, but we didn’t mind the peace & quiet!
