Tietoja majoituspaikasta

Tuulenpuoleinen: Hiljainen, upea näköala, poreallas, tyylikkäästi sisustettu, rehevä puutarha

Windwardside Main House on intiimimpi ja perinteisin kaikista kodeistamme Coral Bayssä. Suunnittelu muistuttaa menneisyyttä Karibialla, mutta mukavuudet ovat moderneja ja suunniteltu mukavuudeksi. Mieheni (saarella eläkkeellä oleva rakentaja) ja suunnittelin tämän kodin. Meillä on vuosien kokemus tarjota saaren vierailijoille epätavallinen kokemus, joka vie heidät päivittäisen elämän ulkopuolelle, mutta on mukava ja vieraanvarainen koti poissa kotoa. Talon viimeisimmät remontit ovat lisänneet sen kauneuteen ja viehätysvoimaan.

TÄRKEÄÄ TIETOA HINNOISTA JA POLITIIKKOISTA: Vuokrattavana on sunnuntai-sunnuntai. Meillä on kaksi hintaa: sesongin ulkopuolella 16. huhtikuuta - 14. joulukuuta ja huippusesongin aikana 15. joulukuuta - 15. huhtikuuta. Hinnat ovat korkoosion mukaiset. Ainoa lisämaksu on 12. 5% hotellivero. Emme kerää vahinkotakuua. 20 vuoden suhteemme vieraisiin ovat opettaneet meille, ettei tämä ole välttämätöntä. Varauksista, siivouksesta tai palvelusta ei aiheudu ylimääräisiä kustannuksia. Jos sinulla on lisäkustannuksia pyydettäessä yksityiskohtaista tarjousta, se olisi mainossivustolta, josta löysit meidät. Calabash Cottages on vakiintunut yritys, ja tiedot vuokraamomme löytyvät helposti.

Autonvuokraus: Koska Expedia on ostanut Homeawayn ja VRBO: n, olemme nähneet liitetiedoston mainoksien alareunassa heidän kannustaessaan vieraita varaamaan autonvuokrausta sivustonsa kautta. Ainutlaatuisen sijaintimme takia suosittelemme sitä voimakkaasti. Tarvitset 4-pyöräisen ajoneuvon. Olemme tehneet liiketoimintaa yli 20 vuoden ajan erittäin luotettavan yrityksen, Courtesy Car Rental, kanssa. Uskomme heihin tarpeeksi, että pidämme pois komission antaman toimeksiannon ja sovellamme sitä alennuksena autonvuokraukseen. Keskustele kanssamme autonvuokrauksesta ennen varauksen tekemistä. Tärkein intressimme on asiakkaidemme tyydyttäminen. Mutta se, että suuret yritykset ovat äskettäin ottanut haltuunsa mainossivustomme, rakentavat viestinnän esteitä. Meihin voi aina ottaa yhteyttä suoraan.

Peitetyllä kuistilla on neljä, kahdessa korituolissa ja kaksi mahonki-istutustuoleissa, jotka perustuvat samaan vuosia sitten käytettyyn malliin. Sokerilinnut tikkautuvat ulos, kun uppoaat iltapäivällä tai illalla kannella. Kaikki Coral Bayn kotimme sijaitsevat riittävän korkealla vuorella hyödyntämään jäähdyttäviä kaupan tuulia. Tämän kodin ainutlaatuinen suuntaus tekee siitä ainoan talomme, josta voit kuulla pehmeän aaltojen liputuksen rannalla lahden poikki.

Vieraamme rakastavat makuuhuoneen erottelua oleskelutilasta. Se on ainutlaatuinen Karibian kokemus, jonka avulla voit lopettaa päiväsi ihailemalla yötaivasta. Taivaallamme ei ole valoa pilaantumista, joten meillä on loistava tähtiäyttö kuun pimeänä. Päivinä, jolloin kuu on täynnä, näkymä porealtaasta on uskomattoman romanttinen.

Keittiömme on pieni, mutta erittäin hyvin varusteltu. Windwardside (yhdessä naapurimaiden vierasmökin kanssa) on aina ollut minun valintani, kun olemme käyneet perheen luona, joten se on hyvin asetettu kaikille aterioille, joita haluat nauttia huvilan mukavuudesta. Löydät kaikki tarvikkeet, joita tarvitset ateriasi valmistamiseksi kotona, mukaan lukien korkealaatuinen kaasugrilli. Niille, jotka haluavat pitää tauon ruoanlaitosta lomallaan, on lukuisia ravintoloita muutaman mailin päässä huvilasta. Henkilökuntamme kertoo mielellään tarjouksista sekä Coral Bayn että Cruzin lahden alueella.

Windwardside jakaa kiinteistön naapurimaiden vierasmökin kanssa. Heillä ei ole muita mukavuuksia paitsi pysäköintialueella, ja paksut trooppiset lehdet peittävät ne visuaalisesti toisistaan. Muista lukea entisten vieraidemme arvostelut, jotka voivat vakuuttaa, että lomastasi tulee yksityinen.

Windwardside pyrkii kaikin puolin suojaamaan kaunista ympäristöä, joka tekee siitä niin erikoisen paikan. Suurin osa voimastamme tulee diskreettisesti sijoitetuista aurinkopaneeleista. Suihkureidemme harmaa vesi kierrätetään kauniiden trooppisten puutarhoidemme kasteluun. Käytämme aina luonnollisia puhdistusaineita, mukaan lukien pyykkisaippua. Kun lisää vaihtoehtoja avataan, jatkamme vihreän ympäristön ponnistelujemme lisäämistä

Viehättävässä erillisessä makuuhuoneessa on pylvässänky ja se avautuu rentouttavalle verannalle. Täytä kahvipannu edellisenä iltana ja yllättä kumppanisi kahvalla verannalla romanttisena tapana aloittaa päivä. Makuuhuoneessa on täysi kylpyamme suihkulla, joka sijaitsee suljetussa suihkupuutarhassa, joka on avoin taivaalle, mutta täysin yksityinen. Jos sää ei salli sitä (harvinaisuus St. John) on myös sisäsuihku ja kylpyamme, joka sijaitsee olohuoneen ulkopuolella.

Henkilökuntamme on pitkään Calabash Cottages -tiimin jäseniä ja tekee parhaansa auttaakseen sinua suunnittelemaan täydellisen loman alusta loppuun. Toivomme näkevämme sinut pian!

Tropical Oasis

It truly was a tropical oasis in every way. So many times you are very disappointed but not at Windwardside Villa as it exceeded our expectations and more.We had traveled to St Thomas before but not St Johns...and there is clearly a huge difference between the two with St Johns overwhelmingly the superior experience. The villa was a great launch point for daily adventures but a welcome retreat at the end of the day. All the amenities of home in a beautiful, breath- taking setting. Susan and her team left nothing for chance and were attentive to every detail. We are booking our return trip to Windwardside villa / Coral Bay now and hope to make it an annual affair.

Absolutely Beautiful!!!

This was our first trip to St. John and the Windwardside Cottage was everything as advertised plus some. The villa was spotless and offered all the amenities of home. We spent most of our days at the beach (we actually visited 8 beaches in 7 days) soaking up the sun and snorkeling. We had originally planned not to cook much on this trip but we so looked forward to returning to the villa after an active day on the island that we prepared most of our meals there. When they say that you need 4 wheel drive to get to the cottage they are not kidding, but this all part of the allure of staying at Windwardside Cottage. I have to tell one experience I had. We lost power for a few hours Wednesday evening and I awoke because it got a little hot with no fans operating. I went down to the main cottage and laid down on couch in the screened room because it was a little cooler with the breeze coming off the ocean. Well, with the island being so dark, the stars were just amazing. I laid there gazing for an hour or better and saw 3 shooting stars!!! Susan and her staff made our vacation seamless and stress free from the time we stepped off the plane till we reluctantly had to return home. If you are considering St. John for a vacation then don't think twice about the Windwardside Cottage. I know this will become an annual stay for us.

Paradiso a St John

Sono stato per una settimana di vacanza con tre amici e non avremmo voluto andarcene più!!! La vista e' stupenda e la casa, suddivisa in tre edifici, quindi con la massima privacy, lo e' altrettanto! Ogni sera al rientro dal mare ( e che mare ) ci si rilassava nella Jacuzzy ( ce ne sono addirittura due!) con un drink! E non ci sono vicini o rumori se non quelli degli uccellini! Fantastica vacanza!!! Serve una jeep per raggiungerla, ma sull'isola tutti affittano Jeep!

Everything we could have dreamed!

My husband and I just spent a week at Windwardside Cottage for our honeymoon. We decided on this villa because of the wonderful reviews, the detailed description and the wonderful things we had heard about the island of St. John. Additionally, we decided that the quiet Coral Bay side of the island would fit us better than Cruz Bay. Well, I can say that it is absolutely a gem. The villa is everything you see in the pictures! The lush landscaping, the privacy, the lovely hot tub, all of the balcony and deck options. We started every day by having a cup of coffee on the balcony off the kitchen which has amazing views in the morning, and all day! Then, we would make our plan for the day. We so enjoyed Salt Pond Bay that we spent 3 of our 7 days there. The Ram Head Trail hike that starts at the end of that beach has such beautiful views and is just long to feel like we got a little work out in and earned our beach time. We loved using all the of the supplies that the house had-- beach chairs, cooler, etc. We would then make our way back home, shower and either cook at the house and soak in the hot tub or meander to one of the restaurants around Coral Bay. The food on that side of the island is VERY casual. Aqua Bistro has some nice fish options. But in order to get a fancier meal, you will need to make you way to Cruz Bay, which is not a big deal at all. We loved Morgan's Mango. Besides Salt Pond Bay, the other beach we really loved was Cinnamon Bay. It has everything you could want to spend the day. We went for the little walk around the ruins before we went to the beach. You can rent kayaks or any other water equipment. There is also a small store and a restaurant with sandwiches burgers etc. It wasn't crowded, and the beach was spectacular. There is nothing bad to say about Windwardside or St. John in general. We did have one maintenance issue, but it was addressed and fixed within the hour. The only challenge is the drive up to the house. And it really is a challenge. Other reviews have described it as steep or bumpy. And that is an understatement. It is super bumpy! It is completely worth it, but I wish someone had described it more because we were kind of shocked the first time we did it.

Batting 1000 for three years running

We have stayed at Windwardside Cottage for a week every year for three years now. We just got back home and are already planning our next week there. Each year, the cottage has provided a comfortable and convenient home base from which to explore the wonderful island of St. John. We travel with another couple and there is plenty of privacy for everyone as well as delightful common space for meals and relaxing in the hot tub or on the porch. The views of Coral Bay are great! If you've never been, you can't imagine how delightful it is to wake up and see such beautiful ocean, sky and flowers right from your bed! We prefer to cook at home and enjoy quiet meals -- the kitchen has everything we need. The whole facility is every bit as lovely and well-appointed as it looks in the online photos. Everything is clean and good working condition when we arrive. If anything breaks or needs attention, the staff is quick to respond. The drive up the mountainside from the main road is a bit daunting the first time -- you really do need a 4-wheel drive vehicle -- but you'll quickly acclimate to the roads. It's well-worth the drive! What we learned on this trip is that some rental companies send new guests to their residence with only directions. In contrast, a staff member from Calabash Cottages will meet first-time guests at the ferry, take them to the car rental pick up, then by the grocery if desired and finally lead them directly to the cottage and show them around. What a lovely welcome. We couldn't recommend a place more highly!!

Vacation of a lifetime!

After first arriving in St. John for the first time we were blown away by the scenery. After meeting Brian at the ferry, who kindly greeted us, look us grocery shopping and to pick up our rental car. We followed Brian back to the house which at first we thought the road leading up was never going to get us there. Then, we arrived and it was the most beautiful place! We loved the privacy, the views and of course cooking dinner on the grill almost everynight. We would return to this house 100 times over again. It was not buggy and we loved using the hot tub at night after dinner with a rum punch in hand. The accommodations for daily beach lounging and snorkeling was just icing on the cake. Plenty of towels, snorkel gear options, coolers and chairs. We had the time of our lives visiting all the beaches and swimming with all the fish and sea turtles. We would wake up every morning to a beautiful sunrise shinning in through our bedroom screen doors. Most relaxing and mind soothing vacation we needed after a long winter in Maine. We can't wait to rent this house again. If you don't mind driving a mile or two up the half paved, half dirt road to get to your dream vacation destination, this is the place for you. Our pick up from the airport in St Thomas was arranged for us to and from and we never had to worry about planning our taxi service. Someone was always there to meet us with a welcome sign. I hope the next couple can enjoy this place as much as we did. If your looking for a laid back and relaxing tropical getaway, this is it!!!!

Windward Side

This villa is absolutely beautiful! The views from every window are outstanding and we especially loved the outdoor shower. The property is very clean and very private...a perfect spot. Susan & Diane are great and make sure everything goes smoothly from the pick up at the airport, car rental and meet and greet. I highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a luxurious spot to relax. We will definitely rent here again and again.

Outstanding Property

My wife and I recently returned from a week at Windwardside Main House. Because of the reviews we had read we had very high expectations, but the property actually exceeded those high expectations. For starters, Susan's team was very professional and excellent to deal with. The property itself is private, clean and well maintained and has lovely furnishings and landscaping and wonderful views. In a word - romantic. We spent our days exploring the beautiful island of St. John, but at the end of each day we looked forward to returning to our retreat on the mountainside. I highly recommend this property.

Even better second time around!

We stayed in the small guesthouse two years ago for our honeymoon, and couldn't wait to come back. This time we stayed in the main house and once again are counting the days until our return. Susan and her team leave nothing out...every detail is covered from the beautiful furnishings to providing us with all the information we needed for getting to and around the island. We loved it so much we recommended it to some friends who stayed there a few weeks before us. We went from there to Tortola, which was nice, but it wasn't the same because now we are spoiled!

Wonderful place to stay in St. John

We can't say enough good things about our stay at Windwardside Main House. You always wonder when you rent a place to stay if it will look as good as the pictures. Well, this place was even better than we could have imagined from the pictures. The customer service provided by Diane and Fitz throughout this process (from making the reservation, through the day we left) was superb. Fitz met us at the ferry, took us to pick up our rental car, took us to the grocery store and then to the house (and was very patient while we gathered our goods at the store). Diane checked on us after a couple of days to ensure we didn't have any questions or need anything. I've never had quite an experience like that when renting a property on vacation. The house had all the necessities for cooking, had beach items (towels, chairs, coolers and snorkeling gear), was quiet, and had spectacular views. The grounds were beautifully planted, and we could sit on the porch in the morning with our coffee, taking in the view and watching all the birds. We were concerned about renting a place that didn't have air conditioning in the bedroom, but we quickly got use to it, and the ceiling fan and breezes through the screened doors and windows made it very pleasant (an added plus to having no glass windows was being able to listen to the beautiful symphony of the night creatures..it was wonderful!). Some might think the drive up to the house is a bit daunting, but after a couple of times doing it, you become a pro. We were sad to leave such a beautiful place, but hope to be back very soon, and will definitely plan on staying here again. --Donna & David

Perfect Villa/ Exactly as Advertised

If you love to drive around in a Jeep and spend your days in the water snorkeling and swimming, you will love St. John and Windwardside could not have been more perfect. The description is very accurate and it is even more spacious and has more amenities than we expected. The property was clean and has a nicely stocked kitchen. The hot tub is great for relaxing with a drink after a long day of swimming and it has a great view of Coral Bay. Also, there is a gas grill so you can cut back on restaurant expenses (typical price for dinner for two with 1-2 drinks easily exceeds 60 bucks). The owner's customer service was flawless and extremely quick with communication. The island intro with Brian was completely on-point and he provided great insight into how to get the most out of your stay for what type of vacation you are seeking. He probably chatted with us for an hour or more with a map and helped guide us to more casually local type restaurants and great snorkeling spots that aren't overhyped (instead of Trunk Bay, go to Jumbie). He also put us into contact with the boat Pirate's Penny for the obligatory boat trip to BVI and snorkeling (great trip and great crew... 10 person boat instead of the 50 person hoards on the booze cruise). Also, there were several great guidebooks in the living room for trails and snorkeling. We cannot wait to refer our friends and family to Windwardside and hopefully they will be bringing us back with them. best beaches for snorkeling: Salt Pond Bay/ Waterlemon Key/ Brown's Bay/ Jumbie Beach best beaches for swimming/ playing in water: Francis Bay/ Jumbie Beach favorite hike: Ram's Head favorite restaurants: Hercule's (Cruz Bay Carribbean/ Curried Chicken platter and pates are good... most affordable restaurant of the trip) Pink Corner (Coral Bay Carribbean/ great local food) Skinny Legs (Coral Bay Burgers/ yeah, it's burgers, but they are good ones and this is the place if you want to party in Coral Bay) Donkey Diner (breakfast food is good/ never tried pizza) Aqua Bistro (good food at reasonable (for St. John) prices Miss Lucy's (Coral Bay... only had the conch fritters as meal, but they are easily the best on the island... we had them at several places that were not great) Rhumb Lines in Cruz Bay if you're craving Thai really, the food on most of the island is above average and there is no fast food, so at least you can see where restaurants are so expensive

wonderful

My wife and I spent two wonderful weeks at Winwardside, and were completely in love with the house and its landscape. Photos are quite accurate...I was sold on the beautiful brickwork of the patio...and this quality carries through the cottage's ceilings, finishes, and furnishings. Spent many mornings and evenings in the hot tub and showered outside with the fantastic view. Breakfast on the porch, dinner on the patio...there are so many places to sit with a book that we only used lounge chairs on the patio in our second week! St John is exquisite. Period. We can not recommend Coral Bay (and the east side) enough for its out-of-the-way, intimate feel, friendly locals, great beaches and snorkeling...Fresh fish for the grill directly from the fishermen, live music, killer BBQ. Driving to any other location on the island is no big deal. Excellent customer service from initial booking, jeep rental, pickup, recommendations, follow-up calls to see if all was going well. We are considering renting again and including the guest cottage for a full-family trip on St John.

Just As We Imagined

My girlfriend and I booked this trip several months in advance, knowing that come September, we'd be ready for a vacation. If we only knew how true this would be. After a miserable travel experience from New York to St. Thomas, all of our frustration and contempt for a certain airline and rental car agency melted away once we were greeted by Bruce at the ferry dock on St. John. Upon arrival, Bruce arranged for a local (and reputable) car rental agency to open after they had closed for the day to rent us a car for the week. Since we arrived a little later in the evening than originally planned, Bruce suggested we stop at the market to do a quick provision to hold us over for the night. He guided us there, patiently waited as we scrambled to pick up some essentials, and showed us to the house. After giving us a quick tour, he answered all of our questions about the best places to snorkel, good restaurants to try, and beach suggestions. Words cannot express how grateful we were for this experience - certainly a welcomed and relaxed way to begin our vacation, and something that Bruce went out of his way to do for us. It was truly appreciated. The house and grounds are just as pictured and described - absolutely lovely and perfect. Those unfamiliar with St. John (I had been several times before this trip) should note that the island is very hilly (as seen in the pictures). The road up to the house takes a relatively confident driver if you're used to driving on flat roads and highways as I am, but a few trips up and down and it becomes almost second nature (like driving on the left). Some suggestions for those thinking about renting Windwardside: 1. A lot of people probably think a hot tub is useless in a tropical climate. Incorrect. We used the hot tub every night to watch the stars, drink some wine, and relax. It's definitely a perk. 2. Although you share a parking area with a nearby cottage, this place is absolutely private in every sense of the word. It was nice to be here and just be by ourselves. 3. Coral Bay is far less busy than Cruz Bay. We found many of the restaurants and shops closed while we were there. This was fine with us, as we had to get adventurous and creative a few times for meals. One night, we stopped at a local fish stand and bought some filets and conch that was pulled out of the ocean earlier that day and grilled it back at the house. It was delicious! Thank you Susan, Diane, and Bruce! We hope to be back soon!

Loved Windwarside Cottage

My wife and I stayed at the Windwardside Cottage for two weeks. We had a fabulous time. The cottage was almost exactly as depicted in the pictures. Everything was spotless and freshly made up for us. The cottage was very spacious which we greatly appreciated. The separate bedroom/bathroom was a bit odd at first, but we easily got used to it and actually liked it. The main house has everything you could possibly want and was so relaxing. We enjoyed the hot tub on a daily basis just after we came back from the beach for the day. Having not one but two outdoor showers available was luxurious. We made our breakfast each morning and ate it in the roomy and airy dining room and sat on the outside patio each night talking and star gazing. The views from almost anywhere on the property were gorgeous. Susan and Diane were wonderful to deal with before we arrived and were in contact with us during our stay to see if we needed anything. They had someone waiting for us when we got off the ferry in Cruz Bay who escorted us to pick up our rental car, go to the supermarket for a quick shopping, and then take us to the cottage. Simply great service. BTW, the folks at Courtesy Car Rental are wonderful to deal with and the discount that Susan arranges with them is not trivial. The road up to the cottage was a bit challenging at first - perhaps because we arrived at night. But by the light of day it became just part of the fun of staying at the cottage. Staying in Coral Bay was divine. There are more than enough very good restaurants to keep you happy for several days. The cottage is just a short drive to all of them, as well as to Salt Pond Bay which is a wonderful beach to visit and has some good snorkeling. The cottage is also a 10-15 minute drive to several other East End beaches, Hanover, Haulover, Vies that are wonderful, not crowded and also have good snorkeling. Staying close to Coral Bay is absolutely the best decision we made. Driving to the famous North Shore beaches, such as Maho and Trunk was easy and not too far away. Susan also helped arrange our pick-up at and return to the St. Thomas airport by Dynamic Tours. It went very smoothly. All in all I cannot recommend the Windwardside Cottage highly enough. We have a place to return to on St. John.

Wonderful last-minute getaway

We rented Windwardside cottage with five days notice after finding their discounted rate on Home Away. Diane did everything possible to help us get to the house. We were met by Bruce who gave us a thorough introduction to the island and escorted us to this great house atop a rough but fun dirt road. If you're confused about the "two house" thing, don't be. This is just like renting a two-story house -- with bedroom/bath upstairs and livingroom/bath/kitchen/dining room downstairs. It's just that the stairs are open and the floors aren't directly on top of each other. The house has everything one could think of - we cooked in breakfast and dinner and packed lunch to take as we explored the island in our 4x4. The kitchen lacked for nothing and the dining room was stacked with a great library of books and DVDs. Reading years of guest comments and perusing the St. John books helped us decide what to do each day. The views from the porch and hot-tub are as described. The place is extremely private - we could occasionally hear but not see the couple staying at the guest house next door. I would recommend following the owner's recommendations regarding transportation to the island and auto-rental on-island. We were picked up by a Warren of the transport company (holding our name when we got off the plane) and within 45 minutes of landing we were on the Red Hook Ferry. 20 minutes later, we were met in St. John by Bruce, who took us the car rental place, explained the three-road town, took us to the grocery store, and led us across island to the house. He gave detailed 4x4 instructions and made sure we knew the "must see" places on the island map. Really amazing service! The couple staying that the guest cottage next door went their own way, using taxis, renting on St. Thomas and taking the car ferry -- all were mistakes and, though they landed on St. Thomas at the same time as us, they arrived at the house seven hours later. We didn't eat much food on the restaurant, but do recommend Coral Bay standby's The Tourist Trap (lobster rolls) and Vie's (conch fritters). For beaches, we recommend Little Lameshur (gorgeous and private), Salt Pond (hike the Ram's Head trail and snorkel) and Maho - shallow, and easy for learning to snorkel. We swam with sea turtles there.

We had a wonderful Honeymoon!

We LOVED our stay at the Windwardside main house. The pictures are very accurate and it is a wonderful place to get away from it all. The location on the east side of the island by Coral Bay is great for those who want to get away from the more "tourist" focused scene in Cruz Bay. We found the people in Coral Bay to be extremely friendly and the restaurants were the best on the island. Plus, the proximity to Salt Pond and Little Lameshur beaches was great since we like less of a crowd. I highly recommend this villa and hope to stay there again in the future. We're hoping to rent both the main house and guest cottage sometime in the future with friends. It's a perfect set up for two couples to share.

Great House!

We have rented this house in St John 3 times and have had a great time every single time. The house is well appointed with everything one would need and more! The birds are amazing and so are the plants. Nice and private but close to beaches and restaurants. The owners are nice, have good info. and will help you make reservations for your rent-a-car.

PARADISE!!!

Windwardside was BEYOND amazing!! My husband and I couldn't have enjoyed out stay any more than we did. The staff was more than accommodating and quick to answer any questions we had, and even brought some groceries for us so we would have something to eat after a long day of traveling. The pictures are very accurate, and the house and view of coral bay are absolutely beautiful!!! We could not have asked for a better place to spend our honeymoon and hope to return someday soon!

Just perfect.......

Amazing view and location......well appointed and extremely comfortable. Driveway was an interesting experience at first, but quickly got used to that and used this lovely villa as a base from which to hike and snorkel much of this lovely island. Particularly enjoyed the porches and their views, and appreciated the kitchen and comfy living and dining areas. Highly recommended.

Windwardside = AMAZING

Stay at Windwardside!!! My husband and I stayed there for our honeymoon and we could not have picked a better spot! The views are breath-taking and the cottage/house is just perfect - comfortable, clean, very nicely decorated. Our rental car was set up for us and we were even taken to the grocery store to get some basic necessities. I would recommend this place 100% - my husband and I are already planning a trip back!

Windwardside Main House

There can't be a more lovely location than Coral Bay, or a prettier property than Windwardside. If anything, the pictures don't come close to capturing the serenity and comfort we felt staying there (but go ahead and enjoy the photos too!) Our vacation time in this well-furnished villa allowed us to re-charge our batteries and escape the pressures of everyday life. Think open-air showers, never-ending flowers, and gentle tradewinds... If necessary for extra visitors, there is a guest house also available. The best part about this get away is turning over all the arrangements to the owners.From transport from the airport to the ferry, to car rental (4 WD is essential), to helpful local greeters who answer every question, make restaurant, shopping, and beach recommendations, all we had to do was relax. Just remember to set your watches for "island time" as you pause to take in all the breath-taking views!

Majoittaja: Susan Brierley

Majoittajan profiilikuva
We are thirty year residents of Coral Bay. We travel frequently and our focus is always on finding beautiful spots to enjoy each others company. That is what we tried to do with each of our Calabash Cottages, My husband is a retired builder and we designed this home together. We built Windwardside in 1996 and have managed it as part of the Calabash Cottages group for over 20 years. Calabash Cottages offers charming and private cottages and villas in quiet secluded locations. Our main focus is to provide an assortment of options for couples in a tranquil setting.

Miksi majoittaja valitsi tämän majoituspaikan

We love Coral Bay and wanted to design a home that did not tower over the hillside but fit into it's natural surroundings. The shape and orientation of this property allowed us to do just that while still offering fabulous views. We love quiet natural settings, tropical gardens and ocean views and we appeal to visitors who are looking for just that.

Mikä tekee tästä majoituspaikasta ainutlaatuisen

Windwardside Main House is a villa that invites lingering. You can hear waves gently falling collapsing in the distance. You'll be amused at the sugar birds darting about and you will find plenty of places to just read a good book. If you want to bring friends along it can be rented with Windwardside Guest Cottage and both groups will still have plenty of privacy. We hope to see you soon at one of our Calabash Cottages.
