The gardens feature palms, fruit trees of all types and tropical flowers for your enjoyment. The cocktail pool is just a few steps from your master king bedroom for a romantic dip for two. Fully air-conditioned and well equipped with everything you need and furnished with bright, cheerful tropical colors. Enjoy Stone Cottage in all its simplicity.

You both were a joy and I loved what your wife wrote in the guest book on how it was the most relaxing vacation she had ever had. Being that you are regulars to STT, I know I will have the pleasure of seeing you both again! Thank you so much!
Everything that was promised was true lovely stay.

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!
The cottage is beautiful with a spectacular view. It is stocked with all the essentials and is very clean. Loved the patio area and enjoyed the pool. Sherri is a wonderful host and was always available. Loved our time there and will definitely be back

We appreciate your wonderful review and I most definitely am looking forward to seeing you both again! I'm so glad that you both enjoyed the cottage and your travels around the island. Hope life is treating you both well now that you are back to the grind, ha ha!
The Mountain View at Stone Cottage was very impressive! House was clean and Sherri was very responsive! Thanks again!

Thank you very much for your review, Weston. I am glad that you both had a wonderful Honeymoon!
Too cute on the mountain view! That made me chuckle. That is one of the nice things about St Thomas. There is a view from everywhere! There are very few flat spots, that is for sure. Many Blessings
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 had an amazing time. The house was beautiful - better than the pictures! Sherrie was so helpful and interesting to talk to! Very willing to help in any way she could. The house was well stocked, very clean, very private, there was nothing that we needed while we were there! Cannot say enough good things about our stay!

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!
Sherri was a wonderful host and really does think of just about everything. Wait no, everything. Stone Cottage is a wonderful place of sanctuary and so close to Maegan’s and Hull Bay beaches.

Thank you for your kind review, Kevin. My favorite part were the warm hugs that I received upon meeting you both and at the cottage! I'm so happy that you had everything you needed and had a wonderful visit!
This was the cutest, little house to stay at. It was perfect for our week vacation and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It had a great view!

Thanks for your short and sweet review, Michael! It was nice to have you back 10 years later and who knows, maybe you'll be staying at Rockworks next time! Until then, Cheers!
My husband and I stayed here for 25th wedding anniversary. It’s hard to even know where to start on how amazing this place is. The view is absolutely gorgeous, the accommodations are top-notch and the location is great. But the thing that makes it stand out the most is Sherri. She is the perfect host. I read a lot about how wonderful she was, but was a little concerned because sometimes when people live near the property, you see them a lot. Sherri is the perfect combination of there the second you need her, but you do not see her otherwise; Which to me is perfect because on vacation and you want to be able to relax in the space and not worry about someone always watching. Sherri has done an amazing job of providing privacy, while also being there the second you need her.Everything about our stay was perfect, and I would highly suggest this precious cottage. It is absolutely the perfect couple get away!

I'm so happy that the two of you had a wonderful 25th Anniversary and you enjoyed your stay at Stone Cottage!
Privacy is of utmost importance to us as well as for my guests. I do live on my own property west of the villa property which does make it nice for me to just walk over if needed. Otherwise, I am off in my own little world, ha ha! If I ever need to communicate with my guests in person, which is extremely rare, I always text or call first to make sure that it is ok with you. (that might only happen during hurricane season and if we have an impending storm as to keep you informed).
I was also happy to secretly help your husband with directing him on purchasing flowers for the occasion to have there upon arrival and make a little heart of rose pedals on the bed. That's a little treat for me to be able to do!
Thank you both for your kind review!
We don’t know where to begin. Let’s start with Sherri. What a fabulous host and just a beautiful person. We got so lost coming home from dinner the first night and Sherri patiently talked us home. Stone Cottage is absolutely adorable. The decor is very tropical and inviting. The bed was so comfortable. Sherri has stocked the cottage with anything and everything you could imagine. There’s a grocery store a mile away that was super convenient. We had such a wonderful week and plan on going back … If you have the opportunity, book Stone Cottage. You’ll absolutely love it!!

I want to start with you too! Big hugs right from the moment I met you both at the car rental agency! It is so awesome for me to be able to see my guests through the whole process from inquiry/booking to seeing you in the cottage to seeing you through your visit in any way that I am needed! Because your flight was delayed and it was dark when you got to the cottage, it certainly makes getting around that first night difficult, lol! If I had to, I would have gone looking for you, but you were close enough, I was able to talk you through it. I want your experience to be positive! You were ole pros after that, ha ha!
I'm so happy that you enjoyed your visit and I look forward to seeing you again. I can't thank you enough for your kind review! :)
The process went smooth for me. I loved the ambience and secluded poor. Sherri was inviting and answered all questions I had! I would forsure stay here again!!!!

You both were such a blessing and very helpful with the extra communication from me due to the passing of Hurricane Erin that was north of us, allowing me to secure the outdoor furniture in case we got some wind gusts. I'm so thankful that you didn't have to vacate and that we did not get this storm! I couldn't have asked for better guests! I look forward to seeing you both again, my friends!
We stayed at the cottage for our 40th wedding anniversary and it was amazing Sherry the host is the absolute best she will help you with anything that you might need, she goes above and beyond!!

5/5 – Peaceful Getaway with Everything You Need!We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home! The location was incredibly private and quiet — exactly what we were looking for to relax and unwind. The house was spotless and fully stocked with everything we could possibly need. Sherri, the incredible host goes above and beyond with all the details. We enjoyed fresh avos and star fruit from the yard. Don't miss dining at Oceana, night cruise on the Flying Frenchman & shopping at Tradewinds. Best beach was Magen. This is a very special home & island. Sherri clearly put a lot of thought into making the space comfortable and welcoming. Thank you for everything! We especially loved the VIEW!!!! If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of home (and more), this is the place. We can’t wait to come back! Will & Lisa

I'm so happy to know that you both enjoyed your 36th Anniversary at Stone Cottage! I didn't know about your anniversary until after you left and when reading the guest book! Man, I wish we had avocados year round, lol! It is a treat to be able to share them and other fruits when they are producing. Thank you for your lovely review, Lisa. I do hope we get to see you again someday!
Love the house! The house was super cute and accurately described in the listing. Sherri the property manager was great from the booking, arrive, duration, and checkout. Definately will have return stays here in the future.

Our 6 nights at this property were everything we expected, and more. The location is very private with spectacular vistas and quite comfortable furnishings. Our host, Sherri, was responsive to every pre-trip inquiry, with wonderful recommendations and suggestions.

About the host
Hosted by Sherri Merritt
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!
