Perfect for the two of us

We loved our stay here near Coral Bay. The view was incredible and the space was perfect for the two of us. It was the most convenient that the owners provided Beach chairs, towels, a cooler, and floaties for us to use at the beaches each day. The home was clean and we enjoyed using the tv in the evenings after exploring all day. Highly recommend!

A perfect stay

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here! Clean, comfortable, easily accessible and in a great neighborhood. The view from the porch was fantastic. We even got to watch a meteor shower laying out on the porch one evening. Dry functional kitchen that allowed us to easily make breakfast every morning before heading out for the day. We certainly recommend it and will return!

Allison and Juan have a great, quiet place in Coral Bay. Great people, great view, etc etc. my wife and I have been coming to St John for many years. This little spot is perfect for a quiet, small rest in between days spent on the beach forgetting the rest of the world. We will be staying here again. Allison, thank you for your hospitality.

Dreamy escape that's perfect all around!

What a lovely, colorful, and perfectly located property for exploring the east end of St. John! We hung out at three amazing beaches during our stay: Maho, Francis Bay, and Hansen Bay. Close to restaurants and grocery store. The property has a wrap around deck with a gorgeous view of Coral Bay. It's nicely appointed with lots of amenities and small conveniences. Love this place!!

The Perfect Place

Alison sent information about the cottage as soon as we booked. It was nice having all the info up front. The cottage is beautiful in decor and the view looking down over Coral Bay is amazing. Alison stopped by shortly after we arrived to make sure we were all set. The cottage seemed to have everything you could possibly need. Especially appreciated the beach chairs and there were a few refreshments in the fridge. Would definitely stay here again.

This cottage is charming, comfortable and nicely located for the Coral Bay area and going to Maho Bay and Francis Bay beaches. The kitchen is well equipped and is perfect for making breakfasts and lunches. The view from the deck (and the bed) is amazing. The roads to the cottage are fun to drive as long as you're comfortable with keeping left and amazing hairpin turns – You MUST have a rental car! We would most definitely stay there again if visiting St. John.

It would be great if toilet will be cleaned in the middle of the stay when linen are changed. It is not convenient and not customer friendly to turn off A/C each day when you leave the property and turn it on upon return as it is getting too hot in the cottage and it takes too long to cool the place to be comfortable at night.

Perfect Stay!

We had such a great stay! We fell in love with the views! Communication with Allison was fast. The location is perfect, so close to all the spots we wanted to hit - our favorite snorkel spots were Haulover beach (north), Leinster Bay and Salt Pond Bay. Our favorite hike was Rams Head. All these spots were so easy to get to from the cottage!! The cottage was well stocked and it didn't take long at all for the AC to cool the place down! We cooked our all dinners in the kitchen and loved eating out on the deck. Would stay here again.
