We have just spent 9 days in the peace and quiet at Catus Flower Cottage. It's fully equipped with all that is necessary for an extended stay. The hosts are super friendly and helpful. They are there for you should you have any issues but also give you your own space should you desire. We really enjoyed our stay here and hope to return in the future.

Great property, beautiful island. Hosts were available for any issues. Having the pool was nice especially since it was hot. It would have been nice to be able to use it past 7 given the heat but we did use the hot tub at a lower temp. We would definitely stay again!

The house was clean, well kept, and perfect for us! The kitchen was well-stocked and maintained, the bed was comfortable, and our hosts were welcoming. They gave us space to enjoy the island, but were available for questions and shared some fresh fruit from the garden, which was also beautifully kept. The house had menus and recommendations for all the local restaurants and beaches too, which was quite helpful for exploring. Absolutely recommend Cactus Flower for a refreshing stay!

We had a fantastic stay in the cactus flower cottage in the Fish Bay area—such a beautiful, peaceful setting surrounded by lush tropical landscape. The property itself was wonderful, especially the dark and cool bedroom, which made it so comfortable to relax and get a great night’s sleep. The deck was absolutely beautiful and a perfect spot to unwind and take in the surroundings. We also really appreciated having access to a washer and dryer—it made the stay even more convenient. Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable experience, and we would definitely come back

Air conditioning in the bedroom was nice and cool. It was quite warm in the living room during the day even with all fans going. I really liked the porch to sit on. Bed nice and comfortable. When sitting outside make sure to use bug spray lots of mosquitoes. Loved the hot tub. Pool was very small. Convenient to town. Loved the sweet and friendly cat! Would stay again.

Tina and Joe have created a peaceful nook that has everything you need plus extras to enjoy the island! We loaded up our jeep everyday with nice beach chairs and a cooler they have at the cottage and enjoyed the ambiance of the outdoor shower to rinse off the day! Porch was amazing for coffee and wine time!! Very clean, no problems checking in or out, they have a generator too but no power issues while we were there . Hope we get to come back! Tina sent spot on helpful tips on how to navigate things from taxis to groceries which made traveling easier for our first trip. Many thanks for a great stay!!

Second time staying in the home. I’ll say to anyone traveling to the area, this is the go to!! Home was far enough outside of town that we didn’t feel like true tourist (we were, but you get it). The host were very communicative and helpful through the check in process and our leave day. Pete the cat was also a wonderful host while the owners were away

We loved staying at Cactus Flower! It’s in a great location tucked in the hills just a few minutes away from Cruz Bay, and easy access to the North Shore beaches. The cottage is charming, peaceful and comfy—the hosts have provided everything you could need. Highly recommend!

A hidden gem.

Great cottage for a couple with access to a refreshing pool and nice hot tub for starry nights. Easy access with paved roads and a quiet neighborhood made it a relaxing stay. Quick drive to the beaches, restaurants, and groceries.

Truly an amazing cottage in paradise

I'm so glad I found this gem on Vrbo. My boyfriend and I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The cottage was clean, comfortable and perfectly located. We truly felt like we were in paradise! The hosts where so kind and accommodating. We can't wait to come back!
