Thanks so much, Jared. So often, I wish that I could review my guests in writing instead of just doing the rating method. I want to thank you for being respectful in asking for permission for you to have your 2 local friends visit you at the cottage. I have to know exactly how many extra people are coming by and when so I am aware of extra possible activity. Due to insurance purposes, there has to be a limit in number of people that are visiting. You were so respectful of our contract and are very appreciated for that! It doesn't happen often, but when it does, we have to get/give written permission. I am so glad the 2 of you had a wonderful stay at Stone Cottage and I look forward to seeing you again!

We had such a wonderful stay! The place was absolutely spotless and so clean, which made us feel comfortable right away. The host was amazing—so welcoming, helpful, and easy to communicate with. Everything was just as described, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and welcoming place to stay!

Stone Cottage and Ms. Sherri are the gem of the island. This trip was our first family vacation and I truly believe it was only amazing because of Ms. Sherri! We went to different beaches nearly every day and the local food scene is spectacular. Swimming in the private pool after every day at the beach was amazing. The flora and fauna by the house makes it feel other worldly. I can’t recommend this cottage enough. I haven’t had a hard time sleeping since being here if that tells you anything. We will be back soon!

It was wonderful to get your text yesterday letting me know you both got home safely and that you had a wonderful stay at Stone Cottage was so appreciated. For me, knowing that you had stayed on island in the past and were familiar with our terrain was comforting. I hardly knew you were at the cottage for your whole duration! Though you didn't mention it here, I do look forward to seeing you both again!

Sherri was in communication with us from the time we made the reservation and throughout our stay. She was a wealth of information and a pleasure to work with. You certainly feel her love for the place and the island. I have a hard time putting into words how amazing this cottage was. So much glass, with the most amazing views of lush tropical vegetation, humming birds, the water, and an amazing breeze. We could not have asked for anything more! It was just perfect! We will definitely be back! We miss it already!

I had a great stay—the property was exactly as pictured and described. It was picturesque and quiet, and the private “cocktail pool” was a nice bonus. “The Shack” was a quick 4-minute drive for great drinks/meals, while a gas station and grocery store were likewise just minutes away. Sherri was highly responsive and very helpful. She even greeted me at the airport and led me to the property so I wouldn’t get lost. (A car is essential on the island.)

Though I am not allowed to disclose anyone's identity, we were honored to have you stay at Stone Cottage while you worked on your new book! It was gratifying to know that you accomplished exactly what you set out to do in a peaceful and tranquil setting with dips in the pool for your breaks. I couldn't agree more with you that it is essential to rent a vehicle. Due to our hills and curvy roads, even if something is only 1 mile away, you will not want to walk it, ha ha! Also, taxi's don't work here like they do in the states. You have to plan any outings in advance and their rates are not cheap by any means. It is best to rent a vehicle so you can come and go as you please. Thank you so much for your kind review!

We were blessed once again by having wonderful guests! I enjoyed our moment when you had asked if I could sit and talk for a bit. I never want to overstay my welcome, but it was so easy to chat with you both and I could have talked forever, ha ha! I liked how you wanted to know more about the island and the locals and what life is like here. Culture is a thing and it's awesome when people are interested. I know you like to go different places each time you travel, but I do hope we get to meet again someday! Who knows, maybe that family trip in 2028 if you rent both houses. :)

Fantastic stay! Very private, and the view is stunning. The property manager Sherri goes above and beyond to ensure you have a perfect stay. It is everything thing described! I will say, if you go in the winter months the sun never shines on the pool so it stays quite chilly. The hummingbird feeder makes the porch experience wonderful with all the hummingbirds. We had a great time!

Thanks for your kind and honest review, Stacey! You are very right about the pool. The concept when built, was for the pool to be a "garden" pool with foliage to the back that looks so pretty and inviting. Later, the original owner/builder had wished he had built it out to the front of the house more. The pool will definitely cool you off in the winter months, lol! I'm glad you enjoyed the hummingbird feeder! When full, it also attracts our local island Bananaquits as well. It's fun to watch them and the hummingbirds haggle over the feeder! Sugar is always kept in the cottage for guests to make more sugar water if needed and of course, for your own needs as well! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at Stone Cottage!

About the host

Hosted by Sherri Merritt

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Sherri and I am the property manager for both Stone Cottage and Rockworks since 1999. I'm happy to announce that I am the manager for our owner, John Feola, who is dedicated to keeping the villas and property in tip top shape. We have been in business for 23 years now and never had an unhappy guest. Both owner and myself live here in St Thomas and are available for all of your needs 24/7. I hope that I can be of service to you.

Why they chose this property

Stone Cottage is truly a get away from it all. Located in a tropical lush setting where houses are not on top of each other, our little St. John, so to speak. If you have 4wd, you can drive to a secret beach that many have never seen, it is very secluded and surely has no amenities. One of our favorite spots for sure! If you don't have 4wd, you can hike over to this beach from the rocky Dorothea beach below us, but be sure to take water and snacks. One guest calls Stone Cottage her tree-house as you are surrounded with foliage and an awesome view of Inner and Outer Brass Islands. There is peace and tranquility here!

What makes this property unique

Depending on the time of year, you may even get to sample Mangoes, coconuts, bananas, plantain, passion fruit, lemons and limes, and even avocado, but I cannot guarantee that they will always be available. We always share with our guests if they are! :)
Another benefit is that we, ourselves are available for any needs or issues you may have. We are hands on, but only if you want us to be!
