Bermuda

"This is the second time in 2 years we stayed at the Meridian. We have been coming to STJ for over a decade and stayed in large villas, resorts, small villas, etc... But last year we found the Meridian and fell in love with this home! This year we stayed for 9 days and had a wonderful time. This house has a special Carribean feel to it and it is warm and inviting. We love this home because it puts you directly into the St John life, from the views to St Thomas, the birds and iguanas that visit, the wrap around porch and great pool . We are a family of five and find that this house of perfect for a family. The house is very clean and everything you would need as a family to be comfortable. The house does not have AC, but we have not found this to be a problem. The doors open wide to the wrap around deck, and there is a great breeze that flows through the house. There are ceiling fans and floor fans. We were there in July and at night we had covers on. It appears that there has been some upgrades or sprucing up of the house since last year. There appears to be new appliances (or they are very clean), a new toaster oven, stove,micro. The interior was painted, new cushions on the furniture and the deck was painted. The pool is perfect for our family and we used it everyday. The pool man came twice during our stay and it was clean and clear! We loved sitting on the porch just LIMIN, enjoying the chirping birds, iguanas, and watching the kids in the pool. We enjoyed cooking on the grill and eating on the porch... WE love STJ, a car is needed to get to the wonderful beaches and Cruz bay, There are groceries at St John Market or Starfish... WE also visited the Westin for one day, because it is five minutes away from the house."

"The views from the cottage were amazing. It was spacious and very well furnished. The location was perfect for me. It was so quiet and peaceful. There are a couple very nice quiet beaches within a 5 minute drive of the cottage. The other, larger beaches are a bit of a drive (15-20 minutes) but the Silly Creek location is perfect if you like to be able to relax hearing only the sound of the water lapping against the shore. I highly recommend hiring Christal, the private chef that Heather knows. She made us one of the best meals we had while on the island and she is such a wonderful person! Silly Creek Cottage is the perfect retreat and I couldn't have been happier!"
