About this cottage rental

Nestled in St. John, this attractive cottage for $266 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. Wonderful location for a family on a budget. Brand new expanded deck with outdoor dining and lounging. Lower level renovated in 2018 with new half bath added and new flooring and deck! Gorgeous views of Coral Bay. Cute little cottage (this is not a luxury villa) sleeps up to 6: two on queen size bed in bedroom, two in king size bed in the loft, and two on the pullout futon. Updated kitchen is fully stocked with all the necessary utensils, plates, cups, and cooking supplies. This cottage sits at the bottom of the lot and thus has many steps (82) down to the unit. This cottage is probably not for the elderly. The cottage has air conditioning throughout, with the exception of the screened in porch and screened-in bathroom - what a view from the full bathroom! The bathroom was also recently renovated with all new tile and fixtures. Relax on the deck and porch while sipping cocktails looking at the boats anchored just below. Plenty of nearby restaurants and beaches to keep you busy all day long! In order to keep our rental rates as low as they are, the cottage only comes with 1 bath towel, 1 washcloth, and 1 beach towel per registered guest per week and linens for the number of registered guests at arrival. The cottage does not include in-stay housekeeping or towel/linen service. If you would like in-stay cleaning services you can arrange that directly with our on-island managers at your own cost. Additionally, if you feel you may need more at your arrival, please ask when making your reservation to pre-pay for 1 additional of each towel per person per week ($50 for 2 guests, $75 for 4 guests, and $100 for 6 guests) and we will add that fee to your reservation. There are several laundromats on the island as well if you would prefer to clean your own towels during your stay. For those who have been to St John before you can rest easy that the road to the house is a concrete straightaway with no switchbacks! Keywords: cottage, view, sleeps 6, air conditioning

Pretty good value as far as the island is concerned. Beautiful location with an incredible view from the deck and nice grill. Great stock of kitchen items and various things like spices, and condiments from previous guests. This is a split level with the loft and kitchen (with futon) together on the upper level and a lower level with the queen bed which is non accessible aside from going outside and down a flight of stairs. Almost everything you need for a stay, snorkel gear, kitchen items etc but beware for longer stays they don’t seem to leave a sufficient stock of toilet paper or paper towels, so you’ll need to get that from town in amounts likely far more than needed. Lot smaller than we expected, sleeping six is definitely a stretch for this place but for the four we had it was sufficient. While it might be standard practice, advertising a place sleeps six and charging almost $200 in extra guest fees for four people is very frustrating. The stairs were a LOT steeper than expected and when it rains, as it often does, they get super slippery and we fell multiple times, once very badly. The door downstairs doesn’t seal well and between that and the other gaps, lots of bugs came in during our stay. Not a major issue, but bothersome and seemingly not a crazy hard fix. Also full of fleas or bed bugs which made things pretty uncomfortable as well. Overall, for the adventurous on a budget, it’s a great place to stay, but if neither of these apply to you, proceed with caution.

The property had excellent views and was in a good location. It was easy to get to the grocery store, many beaches and bars/restaurants. There were a lot of bugs and we both got bit by no see ums quite a bit which made things a little uncomfortable. It would have been nice to have better bug repllant or maybe some candles to light.

The views from the deck are amazing! The cottage has everything that you need from cookware to toiletries and towels. Kat was amazing and made sure that we had everything we needed during our stay. We also used the snorkels that were provided at the property as well as the cooler. We packed lunches to have while at the beach and it was perfect. The only thing that I could possibly say negative about the cottage is the stairs. There are a lot of them so getting luggage up and down can be a little challenging, however, it was manageable and we were fully aware of the steps from other reviews. This property truly is great and was perfect for our family (kids ages 6 and 13)

Family vacation to St John, kids aged 7 and 9. Stairs are no joke but the payoff is privacy, solitude, and amazing views. Well worth it. Kids loved the loft bed area. I loved coffee in the mornings on the deck. Great to come back to AC after days at the beach.

Loved our time here - amazing views, location, and value. Well equipped with effectively everything we needed for a comfortable stay! Only minor complaint would be we wished there were curtains or blinds for the lower level bedroom to block out the morning light (and keep it cooler!). Also a note to future guests: the tile on the screened-in porch gets VERY slippery when wet (don’t ask how we figured that out lol)

Cottage has beautiful location and smartly-equipped kitchen. The deck is amazing and everything it was described to be. Beds are lumpy and not exceedingly comfortable. The toddler bed which had been pictured in marketing photos was in fact not available and a very inadequate, infant sized portable crib for our 3 year old was instead provided. My biggest concern is that we did not hear that the water was not potable until we landed (late) and could not be sure we were even going o get to a grocery store in time to have anything to drink after long parched journey. For a party of 6, this was an exceedingly inconvenient and wasteful (plastic wise especially with limited recycling on the island) "detail" and people should be informed of it with the overall property description to make a fair choice for their party. In contrast to some of the inadequacies, the property manger, Kate, was extremely responsive and helpful!
