We absolutely loved our stay at Here comes the sun in Saint John! The property was stunning—beautifully decorated inside with such a cozy feel that made us feel right at home. The owners were incredibly thoughtful and responsive, they truly went above and beyond to make our trip special. And the view… absolutely breathtaking. Waking up to that every morning felt like a dream. We can’t wait to go back!

My husband and I spent a 8 spectacular days at Here Comes the Sun in late April/early May. Sam and Kim are wonderful hosts. The cottage was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for home and beach time. The views here are stunning. It was the perfect spot for a week of relaxation, beach, snorkeling, and St John fun. We’ve stayed in many spots over the past 12 years and this ranks as one of our favorites. We will definitely be back to Here Comes the Sun!

This was absolutely one of our all time favorite rentals! Even more beautiful than the pictures, incredibly clean and well-maintained home with many sweet extra touches, and wow what a view from the deck!! We loved our coffee on the deck watching the sun rise over the islands, snorkeled every morning at Salt Pond Bay or one of the other gorgeous beaches, spent the afternoon relaxing in the best zero gravity lounge chairs, and watched the stars with the island breezes keeping the bugs away. Such friendly and helpful hosts too, thank you!

What a wonderful stay we had. The house is well appointed, clean and in a very quiet location with lots of privacy. And the views were amazing! At night the sounds of the tropics came alive with tree frogs (I guess). It was all around lovely to spend mornings and happy hour on the deck watching the ever changing sky.

We loved our stay at this house. The location is beautiful and the hosts were welcoming. The views are stunning and the house has everything you could want or need while vacationing on the island. The house is a good value, a little dated plus exterior stairs to bedroom area, but the many thoughtful touches and useful extras bring the guest experience to a higher level. If you have concerns going up and down stairs you may want to reconsider. We’ve stayed in several houses on the Coral Bay side of the island and this one didn’t disappoint.

St John is a treasure. It is Great to see there are still unspoiled places left.

The views are amazing. The cottage is beautiful, comfortable and we felt at home. The coral bay side has a feel of an old Caribbean island. The beaches are amazing. We took many hikes and often we ended up at the end of a hike in a beach all to ourselves. We will definitely come back.

The views are incredible and the breeze on the top deck was perfect. Great location for visiting North, South and East beaches. Hiking trails nearby as well. Would definitely book again

The most perfect honeymoon stay we could have asked for. Sam and Kim were delightful hosts that were always available if we needed them and very detailed/communicative. This home had everything you could possibly need, we loved all the personal touches and details put into this house, between the lovely conch shells shower, binoculars, fruit trees, perfect condition kitchenware and beach items that we needed for all out adventures. The location was perfect for us as it was in the middle of everywhere we wanted to go and the less crowded side of the island. Every morning sitting on the deck eating breakfast with that gorgeous view was a dream. Thank you so much, we look forward to our next trip here!

Amazing week on St John

This was our first time to St John and this home did not disappoint!! Communication with the property manager was easy, Emily was super helpful and quick to respond. The owners were so kind and welcoming. The property was perfect for my husband and I to take a break for a week. It had everything we needed and incredible views. We loved the quietness of Coral Bay and will 100% be back again!!

Great Location and Wonderful Place to Stay

We love this part of St. John. It has beautiful views and is close to some of the best beaches on St. John. The house is great! It was very clean and really comfortable. It came with all kinds of nice little amenities and Emily; the host was very friendly and helpful. Rhumb Lines which quickly became our favorite restaurant is just a few minutes away and there is a good little pizza place called the Salty Mongoose it is also just down the road. We would happily stay here again.

Very pleasant stay on this property for 8 nights on St John. Many beaches that were very clean and teeming with snorkeling attractions on the island. Property was clean and had a great view. Bed was comfortable and a/c was adequate. Would stay there again for sure.

As the title says this place has it all. The views are spectacular. It is very well maintained and extremely clean. This is our second time staying here and won’t be our last. Emily is extremely responsive. Evenings on the deck with the wind and beautiful view made our stay. My wife is already missing her time here. Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

Beautiful View and All the Comforts to Enjoy St John

Loved the view from the deck and the property's landscaping. The cottage is neat, tidy, and well equipped. Very comfortable and in a nice location to enjoy the beauty of St' John's quieter Coral Bay, eastern and south-eastern locations. Communication from the owners and property manager was excellent. Be sure to pay close attention to their guidance on parking, visiting St. John, and use of the property. Their advice was right on. Loved our stay here and hope to return!

Amazing Views

We sooo enjoyed our stay at Here Comes the Sun!! Sam and Kim were wonderful hosts and provided great advice for our stay and adventure. The need to rent a 2 door jeep is 100%accurate. Sam and Kim provided all the extras to make our stay super fun and comfortable. From the cooler and floating chairs to beach umbrella and bugspray, everything was perfect. Hikes, vistas and beaches were all amazing. Only advice to other travelers to St John would be to bring your hiking poles, and watch your step!
