Disliked: Communication

We loved our stay at their house and our own private cottage! The view is wonderful and the hot tub was fairly private with beautiful surroundings. Something which should be noted is that a four Wheel drive vehicle is nearly required for this place. Communication was a slight issue while we were there. The bug zapper was much appreciated!

Nice place to stay in St. John

We had a great stay at this place and appreciated the king size bed. Its a quick drive to Cruz Bay and many beautiful beaches and snorkeling. The place is well stocked with beach gear (beach chairs, cooler, floaties) too :)

Our 62nd National Park

Lovely Stay at Ayiti Cottage

Book it! Everything was picturesque and perfect from the breathtaking views of Fish Bay, great communication, and excellent host hospitality, this is the perfect little cottage for a getaway for two! It was nice to be a little apart from the buzz of Cruz Bay, but still a convenient 7 min away!

Great place

Great place. Responsive owners who live next door. Ample space for 2 people. Nice outdoor area including deck with a great view and a hot tub. Clean, everything needed for cooking, chairs and cooler. Only thing I'll say, which is a St John thing overall, have a 2 door jeep. Very least have ground clearance, 4x4 would be preferable. You won't get around this island and up and down this driveway without it. It's worth it though. Have fun!

Beautiful Home, Beautiful View, Wonderful Hosts

This was the perfect home away from home. As a single, solo female traveler, I felt comfortable and safe. I woke up to a beautiful sunrise every morning and the sounds of birds chirping. What a relaxing week on island.

Private getaway in a remote location

The apartment is very comfortable and quiet and the hosts are very welcoming. The view from the terrace is gorgeous ! We are comfortable driving on twisty roads with steep descends and four wheelers drive is needed. Overall lovely !
