****Hurricane Irma devastated the island of St. John. Fair Winds was spared, but the island needs a lot of work before it can accept visitors again. We hope to be able to welcome visitors after February 1st, but it will depend on whether power has been restored. Please email for more details. ******
Fair Winds Cottages is a cozy vacation property situated mountainside overlooking Coral Bay. The villa offers truly spectacular views as well as privacy. This delightful home is the perfect location for a honeymoon or romantic getaway. For couples vacationing together, the guest house provides connected, yet private getaway with fully-equipped accommodations.
The main house, with its open floor plan, provides a living/dining area as well as a kitchen. It is connected to the master bedroom via a private deck with excellent views. A second building, connected to the main house by decks and a lighted tropical garden pathway, also offers full accommodations. It has a living/dining area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom similar to the main house.
The Main House can be rented alone for 2 people, or the Main and Guest can be rented together for up to 4 people. If just the Main House is rented the Guest House will remain vacant and locked.
All rentals run from Saturday to Saturday.
Guestbook comments from the manager
"We have loved our stay here at Fair Winds. This is our 10th trip to St. John and we've rented many houses all over the island but none with a view that
compares to the one here! It's like Camelot...gorgeous weather all day and rain during the night. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.'

All and more!
Remote, private, inspiring, beautiful, romantic...this place is everything as advertised and more. We will be back!
Fantastic views! Great house!
We rented the main house for a week. All of the photographs are accurate and don't do justice to how beautiful the views are. The house was well equipped. The separate bedroom was a nice retreat and the outside shower was very enjoyable. Keep the Bananaquits sugar feeder full and they will entertain you every day. This is just a few minutes drive to the restaurants and grocery stores in Coral Bay. Due to the steepness and ruggedness of the road, a Jeep or other 4-wheel drive vehicle is necessary.
Couldn't have been better
Fair Winds was my best booking yet on St. John, and we've stayed 7 times. We shared this spot with my bestie and her hubby from Los Angeles, cooked our own gourmet meals and ate on the deck when we weren't enjoying the island restaurants. The tree frogs noises were amazing to sleep with at night and house was super comfortable, fun, and the views, simply amazing. We took a private charter to the USVI and spent a couple of days with Captain Phil on his boat. What a great trip and the price was right. My friend's husband is not much of a vacation guy but he's been asking to go back! Brian and Margaret are great managers. For us, this was equal to the trip of a lifetime.
Great Getaway!
This cottage was perfect for our family of 4. We have 2 teen daughters who were able to enjoy their own personal space which included all the amenities of an efficiency apartment and their own hot tub! The main cottage was just a few steps away. The view of coral bay and the surrounding islands from the wrap around porch was like no other. We enjoyed the full sunrise every morning. The breezes, surrounding horticulture, tree frog symphony, and starry nights were both peaceful and invigorating. There is an amazing climb up a windy dirt road....4 wheel is a must!! We landed in St. John, rented a Jeep, did a grocery run, and took the car ferry to St. John. Margaret and Bryan were extremely helpful in getting us to the house and answering any questions we had during the week. The hiking, beaches, sailing, relaxing and tranquility can not be beat at St. John and Fairwinds Cottage is a phenomenal place to vacate!
Once in a Lifetime view!
The Amazement and adventure of our drive to the top of Calabash Boom, was equally matched and exceeded by our view at the top! The pictures shown here, although beautiful, cannot adequately describe the wonder. This beautiful villa and accompanying guest house are perfectly appointed for relaxation, light entertaining and a soak in the jacuzzi after the beach. A quick trip to the market for easy breakfast foods,snacks and ice pretty much equipped us for our stay. This is the perfect getaway spot for a family of four or a getaway with a few friends. If you arrange to stay here they will be your best friends for life! MUST visit Trunk Bay and Waterlemon Cay (Swim out to island to snorkel!) Enjoy!
gorgeous
The ideal place to be on St. John's for the view, the accomodations, the beaches, and snorkeling. Very desirable if you want to be on the quieter side, and we enjoyed the local feel of the restaurants. Managers Bryan and Margaret were helpful with travel arrangements.
Map
Tranquil, tropical getaway, cooled by prevailing Trade Winds and located a mile up a dirt/concrete road. Spectacular 180 degree views of Coral Bay, the East End of St. John and the British Virgin Islands. Memorable sun and moon rises over the Bay. Convenient to beaches, restaurants, shops, grocery stores, hiking trails and boating.
