This comfortable, colorful, and spacious home has lush gardens, lots of privacy and an expansive deck with a view that is just mesmerizing! (Yes, the rainbow is REAL - the photo has not been altered.) The house is new, completed at the end of 2006, and we keep it in perfect condition. Tracey, our wonderful host, will prepare the house beautifully for you and provide you with a key to your own private paradise! Enjoy breathtaking harbor views and a luscious Caribbean breeze from this cheerful friendly cottage located in slower-paced, historic Coral Bay. Relaxing is easy here. Beautiful white sand beaches for sun bathing, swimming and snorkeling are just a few minutes away or you can stroll over to Crabby's, rent a kayak and snorkel gear and paddle over to a secluded beach not accessible by car.
In the evening you can walk down to the harbor and enjoy a romantic dinner at one of the wonderful Coral Bay restaurants such as Sweet Plantains or Aqua Bistro or stop for groceries and have a romantic dinner at home on the deck.
The owners are artisans and this shows up in this home. This house also has a very lovely paved access and great off the street parking arrangements.
When you inquire and reserve Island Cottage you will work directly with the owner. We make sure your experience is personal and rewarding - all interactions regarding Island Cottage will be with the owner or Tracey our on-island host. When you reserve we will arrange a discount on a car rental for you if you are interested.
Perfect for honeymooners!
Just a few of many wonderful reviews:
'We had the most wonderful vacation in this beautiful home. The house is absolutely perfect--Cindy and Harry have created a lovely, peaceful, and completely comfortable home at Island Cottage, and Tracy set things up so nicely, it was such a pleasure to arrive there after our long trip.' Kate from New York, New York
'If you seek constant entertainment, pool parties, cocktails served all day, dancing in the club or nightly bar hopping, this is not for you! I have a high stress job and I found the perfect get away, not only St John, but this lovely 1 bedroom home. St John is a quiet, serene, laid back island. The people are very friendly and helpful. I found none of the usual Caribbean attitude here. My family takes a few trips every year and after visiting Hawaii, Aruba, St Kitts, Nevis, Nassau, St Lucia and Puerto Rico, this is, by far, the cleanest, friendliest and most beautiful of all the Caribbean islands. 3/4 of the island is a national park.
Now, for the home. It is located on the quiet side of the island, about a 25 minute drive from the port of Cruz Bay. A great drive through the hillsides, passing some of the most beautiful views I have ever seen. The Home sits above Coral Bay, and juts out from the side of the hill. The breezes run through the house all day. Three glass sliding doors open in the living room bringing the outside in. The house is brand new, clean, comfortable, convenient and absolutely welcoming. We are a family of four and we loved it! We grilled out on the deck while enjoying some rum drinks, eating breakfast and dinner on the deck on a table the owner made (very impressive), we played dominoes while watching the ships in the bay, watched the sun rise with our morning coffee and felt like we were in a dear friends home on vacation. Anything you could want was here. 2 minutes to the local food market, 3 minutes to a local eatery called Skinny legs (great burgers and beer) or Aqua Grille (great Mahi Sandwich) and 2 minutes to a local breakfast eatery called the donkey diner (don't be fooled, it looks like a dump, but once inside you are wow'd by the charm and fantastic breakfast. The most amazing part of this house was its view, night and day. I can not tell you how peaceful it was to sit in the hammock, feeling the breezes from the bay, enjoying a good Belgian beer and looking up at the stars at night. I spent hours and hours on the deck, morning, noon and night. It was intoxicating! The owners have thought of everything. If you need a place to connect with your wife and kids, this is it. No distractions. Pure family time in a magical place.' Scott from Jacksonville, Florida
'This cottage is cozy, light and airy and offers breathtaking views of Coral Bay Harbor with sail boats doting the water. There is easy access to many beautiful beaches and the snorkeling was terrific everywhere we went. There are many great places to dine out and two convenient grocery stores just up the street. It won't take long and you won't want to go home, ever. This place is "Life is Good"'
