Amazing Stay

We loved our time at Colleen and Roger's beautiful house! Tons of space, it had everything we needed, and we really appreciated Roger's suggestions for places to go on the island. It was a great location - quiet but still a short drive to everything. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful secluded getaway in Coral Bay

This property was a wonderful part of our week long stay on St John. The owners were gracious, helpful, and very quick to reply and help with questions. The property was gorgeous - clean, well cared for, well supplied with the essentials, and had the bonus of a lovely hot tub to soak in at the end of the day. I can't recommend this place highly enough!

Garden Paradise

What a wonderful villa, tucked away in the trees, surrounded by beautiful flowers, and abundant wildlife. Very well appointed and beautiful inside and out. Colleen was a wonderful host and full of information about the island as well as all of the plants around the property. Already looking at dates to go back. We highly recommend Travleler Palm Cottage!!

About the host

Hosted by Colleen Brooker

Colleen was born in South Jersey and raised in Vermont. Roger was born and raised in Trinidad. He fell in love with sailing and one day sailed to St John with friends. We both loved traveling. We met on a little Vitran bus on St John. Roger took me sailing around ST john and the BVI on his 39' sailboat "Storyteller". We were married on St John and our first baby was born in Coral Bay,
We moved to Calais Vermont in 2005 when we had our second baby. We bought a project and fixed it up. We missed the VI and moved back in 2008. We moved onto our 50' sailboat "Storyteller". We got to sail down island with our boys to Trinidad. We moved ashore in 2013 and began finishing the house. We hope you enjoy our house!!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this house, even as it was, an unfinished project. We saw so much potential. Colleen lived in this neighborhood when she was traveling through in her twenties and fell in love with it then. Tucked away and quiet but yet close to Coral Bay. One of the only large plants it had was a big Travelers Palm in front. The flat protected land was perfect for gardening. We loved the fact the land already had mango trees and Soursop trees bearing fruit. We finished the house with the new design in 2017. We designed the upstairs bedroom with the help of an architect. It was inspired by the book "Caribbean Style".
Roger was here for Hurricane Irma. He stayed in the house with good friends.

What makes this property unique

We are off the beaten path a little but close to everything. The peaceful location is on a dirt road, yet walking distance to Coral Bay and the harbor. Surrounded by trees with lots of birds. There is a nice cooling breeze through the valley. We grew lots of fruit trees on our little 1/2 acre. There are mango trees! We planted a lot of coconut trees. The new deck is lovely. The grill is out there too....great place to barbeque. We added the hot tub last year. After a day of hiking or at the beach it is so relaxing to sit in there.
