Just what we needed!

Tom and I are back to reality today, and I’m already homesick for the island!! Thanks so much for all your assistance, and everything worked out perfectly with the jeep rental. Gus is a real find!! What a nice man, and he was so helpful in making our stay comfortable and enjoyable (loved the beach chairs!). The cottage was an absolute oasis—like waking up in a tree house every morning! We particularly loved coming back after a day of exploring, snorkeling and beaching for a soak in the hot tub with a nice cocktail before heading into town for dinner! One morning we walked down to Hart Bay and found FABULOUS shells and all types of coral. All in all, another fabulous and relaxing time on St. John! Many thanks for being a big part of it with your charming Meritage Cottage!!

Just returned from a lovely week at the Meritage Cottage. Unlike some other locations, in this case, pictures don't lie. In fact, it looks even better in person. The views are great any time of day but watching the sun set over St. Thomas, while sitting in our private jacuzzi became a special nightly treat. Gus, the caretaker was great--met us at the ferry dock, helped us set up and gave us some great recommendations for restaurants and activities. The cottage was very comfortable, clean and well appointed. Although it was just one room and a bath, it was laid out nicely with more than enough space for the two of us. The owner was very helpful and helped make our stay very enjoyable. You will need a car but you're only a few minutes from Cruz Bay. Access to Hart Bay takes a little hiking through the jungle--you need to be sure-footed. Cable TV and Internet access were fine most of the time. The gas grille was great when we wanted to eat in. The jacuzzi was a wonderful bonus! Although it's next door to the main house, the cottage offers all the privacy you could ask for. I highly recommend this property!

My husband and I stayed at the Meritage Cottage to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. It was a wonderful place to spend ten days! We were met at the ferry by the manager, Gus, who brought us to the cottage. Gus came whenever we called with a question--he was great! The cottage has everything you need, was very clean, and was very well maintained.. We especially enjoyed the beautiful views from the deck and the hot tub (which we used as a cool tub since it was summer) every day. Gus also gave us recommendations for activities and restaurants. We spent a half day sailing/snorkeling and a full day kayaking/snorkeling. Both of these day trips were wonderful. We highly recommend St. John and Meritage Cottage!!

This cottage is so cozy and tastefully put together that we felt we had found a perfect getaway for years to come. The location allowed us to pop into town in a matter of minutes to go out for dinner or shopping. The national park beaches are only 15 minutes away on the beautiful drive along the ocean. One of the nice things about this cottage was that we spent some nights barbequing on the deck while listening to the ocean waves lapping against the sea shore of the Hart bay, it was so peaceful. It was just the tranquility my husband needed on this vacation to just relax from his stressful job. We love this cottage and of course St. John. We are definitely coming back.

My daughter and I had a wonderful time staying at Meritage. It is very clean and nicely decorated. We love to wake up in the morning and walk to the beach of Hart Bay where we collected many unique seashells. In the afternoon when we came back from the national park beaches we enjoyed soaking in the hot tub while watched spectacular sunset. We found it very convenient to go back and forth to Cruz Bay for shopping and restaurants. I hope to return with my husband when he is not too consumed with his work.

My husband and I have just spent a glorious week on the Island of St. John. Meritage COttage was the icing on the cake!. We could not have been happier with our choice of accomodation. We were met at the ferry dock by Gus, the manager, taken to pick up our jeep and out sipping a cocktail on the deck, overlooking the Caribbean Sea, within 20 minutes. The cottage is actually nicer than the photos on the website look which was a pleasant surprise as we have not always been lucky on other vacations. Gus was very helpful on all our questions regarding the restaurants, nightlife, and special places to visit while we were there. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a special place to spend their vacation on St. John as we definitely will come back to stay at Meritage in the future.
