Waterfront Beach Cottage in Protected National Park Waters - Estate Zootenvaal
This one bedroom/one bath postcard perfect cottage sits on a gentle grade across the calm, protected waters of the US Virgin Islands National Park. Estate Zootenvaal was well known for 4 cottages that share a private sandy beach. The 2017 hurricanes destroyed these cottages and but now they are back, better than every. Everything about this cottage is all brand new, including Solar Panels and Tesla Batteries for backup in case of power outages. The house is elegantly furnished and well equipped with everything you'll need for a perfect vacation. Enjoy the cooling trade winds and panoramic views while you relax on the porch or explore Hurricane Hole in the provided 2 man kayak. The gated private beach with lounge chairs and tables are perfect for reading a book or taking a swim or snorkel in this beautiful bay.

Elopement bliss
My wife and I had our elopement on St. John and it was everything we had hoped for. We had a lovely private ceremony on the private beach shared by the property.The property itself is located just outside of coral bay and this is hands down the best rental we have ever stayed at. It's close enough to the ocean where you can hear the relaxing sound of the ocean waves day and night. This cozy cottage makes you feel at home from the moment you walk i.

Perfect post-elopement getaway!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Beach Cottage after our recent elopement on St. John. A peaceful, beautiful escape, we loved sitting on the porch listening to the waves. Dorothy and Fernando are lovely hosts! The cottage is very well stocked with everything you'd need, and impeccably clean. Being located just outside Coral Bay, the cottage was a wonderful home base for exploring St. John. Would love to stay at the Beach Cottage on our next visit to St. John!

Wonderful Stay
We immensely enjoyed our five night stay at the Beach Cottage Zootenvaal. Our visit followed a pleasant, but active week at another location with a larger family group. So, the tranquility of the Beach Cottage came as welcome change of pace. It was breezy on St John and there was no need for air conditioning. The sound of waves breaking was a constant backdrop, perfect for sleep. The house is located a convenient mile from the restaurants and shops of Coral Bay. The Brown Bay trailhead is a short walk from the house. We cooked each night and found the kitchen to have everything we needed. Lastly, but certainly not least in importance Dorothy and Fernando were excellent hosts. We look forward to a return visit in the not too distant future.

Very comfortable and peaceful location!
We were celebrating our 33 anniversary and third time at STJ. Very peaceful, quiet location on very comfortable, clean and well-stocked house! Can easily hear the waves from the comfort of the porch. Also worth the short walk to the private beach because there is shade as well as sun and a gazebo there for comfort no matter the preference of the person (I am a sun lover and my husband prefers shade!). Very much worth the stay!

The property is a wonderful and relaxing getaway! The property is located on the quiet side of the island and is perfect for those seeking some R&R. The private beach is a great perk, and kayaks are great for getting out to snorkel. Dorothy and Fernando are wonderful hosts and very responsive! Would definitely come again!

Perfect place to unwind
A perfect place for the wife and I to just relax. Everything from Fernando picking us up in Cruz Bay to the beach house being more than we expected....(the pictures don't do it justice)...we throughly enjoyed ourselves. Fernando and Dorothy are the perfect hosts. If your looking for a quiet getaway with a 5 star beach house this is the place!

Perfect for us!
Estate Zootenvaal is a fantastic place! Comfortable, well appointed and the location can not be beaten. It was exactly as described. Dorothy and Fernando were very accommodating and couldn't have been better hosts.
We wanted the quieter East End with easy access to the restaurants and shops of Coral Bay. This location was perfect for that. The private beach and the balcony overlooking Hurricane Hole made for a most relaxing stay. We will definitely return.

A beautiful week in paradise!
This property was an absolute gem! So much thought and detail went into this beach cottage to make it the perfect home away from home. Dorothy was extremely attentive in keeping communication lines open and was a wealth of information in helping us navigate the island. Don't look any further for a place to stay on St John, because this property was perfect!

My wife and I loved this property, and the owners. They simply covered every detail and are so very friendly as well. The property is lovely in every way. We fell asleep to nothing but ocean sounds every night. We also enjoyed all that the Coral bay side has to offer and we drove to Cruz bay when we wanted. If you are looking for a beautiful home, excellent caretakers, and serenity, book this property!!!

We had a fantastic stay in St. John! The house is exactly as it's presented online; extremely clean, great natural light, stunning views. And the hosts were amazing with tips on where to eat and what to do around the island. The house was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking;
and had chairs and a cooler for going out to the beach. The location is super convenient near Coral Bay and easy to get to! It is very quiet at the house and we spent many mornings and evenings watching the water from the porch. I would highly recommend this property to friends and family!

My husband and I have been coming to STJ twice yearly for 20 years, and this is one of the finest rentals on the island. It is well-outfitted, easy to get to, new construction, and best of all, it is right on the ocean. It is all you could want and more! We will definitely be back!

Couldn't ask for much more......
Sooo glad we chose to stay on this part of St. John (minimal development)....on the edge of the National Park within 50 feet of the water's edge. The property was immaculate, inside and out, with every amenity. Decor was really nice, atmosphere was very serene. Air conditioned bedroom was very comfortable. Loved having access to a two person sea kayak. We used the porch for all meals and for most of R&R time between hikes, swims/kayak trips. We would highly recommend this for people who are interested in making most of their own meals while living in a comfortable, serene setting with easy access to many of the eastern Island beaches and trails.

A memorable destination
Zootenvaal cottage is beyond spectacular. We were carried away by so much beauty; the jewel box interior, mesmerizing view, gentle breeze, lighting on the bay, colorful sunrises, lush green hills and star lit nights. The location is ideal, close to activity but far enough to enjoy a peaceful rural setting. We saw wild donkeys and a few deer in the hill in back of the house. There’s much to do for the adventurous, but we kept it simple. The 3 grocery stores in Coral Bay were close and had what we needed. Enjoyed early morning trips to Francis or Maho Bay. The rugged landscape of the private beach was lovely and a contrast to the popular beaches. No crowds. Needed water shoes but the water was clear and refreshing. Good snorkeling as well. Dorothy and Fernando were warm and gracious, and it was a pleasure to get to know them! So grateful that they created such an exceptional masterpiece!!

Amazing property!
We celebrated our 25th anniversary with a weeklong trip to this beautiful cottage. It was the perfect place to stay. The location was super quiet in Coral Bay yet close enough to get to any of the beaches relatively quickly. The view from the back porch was amazing (even better than the pictures show) and there was so much wildlife around to watch - donkeys, goats, mongoose, pelicans and deer - that it was hard to leave everyday! We spent every waking hour we were home on that porch, sipping coffee or cocktails and enjoying the ocean breezes. This was the cleanest and most well-appointed rental I’ve ever booked and beautifully decorated. The bedroom was nice and cool at night with the AC and the bed was comfortable as well. We felt at home the moment we walked in and appreciated the wine, cheese and crackers Dorothy and Fernando left for us. They were wonderful hosts. If you’re looking for a rental near Coral Bay this is the one. We hope to be back!

Spectacular views and host
The views are truly incredible. There are of course other homes around, but looking out off the covered front porch you see nothing but green and blue and hear nothing but the waves breaking at the shore just ahead and the occasional car passing by. We loved watching sailboats coming in to Hurricane Hole in the distance, morning and evening kayaking, and relaxing on the private beach.
The property was well appointed with a proper kitchen, spacious shower in the bathroom, and comfy bed. Everything was very clean and well organized. We were happy to call it home for a week.
The owners, Dorothy and Fernando, were terrific. We unfortunately did not have a chance to meet Fernando in person, but it was a real pleasure meeting with Dorothy. She was very responsive to any needs we had, gave us great tips for hiking and dining and beaching, and was genuinely invested in making sure our stay was the best it could be.
10/10!

Great location and an Amazing stay
This was our first time visiting St John in USVI and we were hoping to find good place to stay and we found this gem of a place. Dorothy and Fernando were amazing hosts and we cannot thank them enough for letting us part of this experience.
We enjoyed all the amenities and loved all the conveniences and care that was put into this place. This site is very close to most places and I would recommend a 4x4 to check out the eastern part of the island. This is a secluded and very quiet place to stay which were looking for, away from all the intense atmosphere at Cruz Bay. We were also not so far from Coral Bay which has the grocery stores and restaurants. We would recommend going to Salty Mongoose for pizza or the fried rice at Wok on the Beach. If you need to do some grocery shopping, I would suggest the Calabash Market.
Thank you for the coffee and Thank you very much for letting us stay at your property and we will definitely recommended this to all our family and friends. We hope to come back soon as we have lot of things we missed in this trip,

Om værten
Vært: Dorothy Micheletti
Fernando is Italian and I come from Colorado. We have lived on St John for over 20 years. Our first home, was La Dolce Vita, also in Coral Bay and also on the water. We used to short term it and do charters on Fernando's beloved "Fernando's Republic", which sadly sank in 2017.
Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted
Zootenvaal is a very special property on St John and especially on the East side of the island facing National Park Waters. The property has a gentle slop with grass lawn, very rare for St John!
Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt
Private shared beach between 3 houses.
