Amazing! Spent my birthday here and couldn't be any happier. Loved sitting out on the patio at sunset and sunrise just looking at the view. Drove to many beaches during the day and back to the house for a glass of wine with friends out on the patio. Great view and very quiet!
Will want to go back again soon!

Great house with direct views out into the ocean, a nice sized pool, and very convenient access to Cruz Bay and the different grocery stores, restaurants, and coffee shops!

Clean, comfortable, and dead-ass quiet! Beautiful view of the bay from the pool deck. Don't forget to count the iguanas in the tree!...we saw 14!
Will definitely stay here again! Thanks, Lin!

Myself and two friends thoroughly enjoyed our stay at "Peace of Chocolate". Communication with Lin was fantastic, and our every need was met. Words cannot describe the view from her deck. It seems like we are gazing at a perfectly framed painting-that is how beautiful it is. As we sat on the deck drinking our morning coffee the view of the harbor, dotted with anchored sail boats, and framed by the beautiful grounds and coconut palms, could not had been more perfect. The pool was refreshing, and we had fun spotting the lizards up in the trees and hearing them munch on the leaves while we lounged in the water. The property is so close to the Westin and you can see their beach from Lin's waterfront. There is a nice path that leads you to the harbor and Lin has kayaks available. We did not rent a car and easily found taxicab drivers that would pick us up. If you do rent a car then a really nice feature is that Lin has street level parking for one car available-a rare find for properties set upon a mountain. Her unit is cozy and cute and the beds are fantastic. We can't wait to come back and stay again.

Our Family loved our stay. The grounds of the property have many varied species of colorful, flowing plants and trees. There are hummingbirds and vibrant songbirds, iguanas and other types of lizards too. The pool deck overlooks Chocolate hole bay and is wonderful spot for an evening meal and or cocktail. There are kayaks to use and the bay is paddler friendly. Our host was very friendly and easy to get in touch with.
Very nice place and I would recommend it.

We stayed in Chocolate Chip & it was lovely! Very comfortable bed, beautiful, relaxing pool with views of Westin Bay. We were lucky enough to meet the owner, Lin. She was upstairs, but you would never know it, super private spaces. We were looking for a cooler to hike with and she produced one in about 30 seconds! Easy drive from ferry and easy parking space, level with the road. We’ll be back with our kids and will rent Lin’s whole house, Peace of Chocolate. Thank you!

Perfect location - less than 10 minutes from just about everything in town. Super quiet location and great view. Lin was so helpful - even mailed us a dive computer we somehow lost under one of the beds.

Ms. Lin was beyond gracious, with great communication and offering of tips and hints to enjoy the island. Her hospitality were above and beyond. Chocolate Chip was the perfect place for our family of 4. Ms Lin makes sure you will be comfortable and the view is beautiful. This is on the same bay as the Westin, but is much more desirable and affordable. The kayaks and pool area were a great bonus. Would love to return sometime.

The property is awesome, easy to find, close to everything you would want to do yet you are in your own little world. From the pool to the water access to the iguanas, this feels like home. Another big part of this feeling is because of Lin(owner), she is very kind and welcoming. She is helpful with information and suggestions of things to do and see. We can’t see a reason for us to stay anywhere else in future trips to the island. Thank you Lin for making our trip simply awesome!

My family and I have been traveling to St John for many years. I was looking for a place not directly in Cruz Bay but with a car would only be a 5–10-minute drive. This was the best location and wonderful accommodations. Lin the host was very nice helpful and enjoyable to speak with. I would definitely stay here again. Tina

This was an absolutely perfect spot for my family (myself, my husband, 4 year old and 2 year old). For our family of 4 the living space was great and for toddlers there was a high lock on the main door that went outside so we didn't have to worry about them at night. We were able to spread out easily and slept very comfortably. There were several spaces to sit, relax and eat both inside and outside, absolutely stunning views of the harbor. a pool that kept the kids entertained for hours, a really really cool iguana tree next to the pool (also a very cool thing for the kids) and easy access via a path on the property to walk to the water and throw a kayak in. The house is elevated so even though the rental is on the lower level you still get views of the bay right out of the many windows lining the living space. You are only about 8 minutes from town at this location but it feels out of the hustle and bustle yet plenty close enough to a grocery store (just 4 min by car) and just a short drive to several amazing beaches. The owner, Lin, was so incredibly helpful and responsive with everything. We wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely be back! Getting to stay here was a highlight!

This little property is absolute perfect. Loved the landscape and the little “secret” passage to the water was my favorite. Lin was an absolute sweetheart . I really enjoyed chatting with her. We will defiantly be staying here again.

Lin was such a wonderful host! The rental was perfect for our two boys ages 4 & 7 they loved the pool which had great view of the ocean. There was a lovely little path that went down to the waters edge with lots of lizards and iguanas climbing the trees. The rental was also very easy to find and a short drive to downtown Cruz Bay. We would definitely stay again!

Beautiful and Peaceful
Chocolate Chip was perfect for my 18 year old son and I. Lin was a wonderful host making sure we had everything we needed and very helpful answering questions. The tropical property is on a beautiful bay with several sailboats right around the bay from the Westin resort. We had a large deck with pool just for us that looked out on the bay. We ate out for all meals except breakfast but the place offered a small frig, toaster oven, microwave and she offered a hot plate if needed. We loved exploring the property with gorgeous tropical plants and flowers and finding the iguanas in the trees. We didn’t want to leave.

Lovely place nice area.
This is a charming apartment but could use a couple of ceiling fans since it gets quite hot at night and air does not circulate very much. Could also do with a long couch in the living room. Otherwise very likable. We had a fine stay.

Lin was very communicative and helpful, before and during the trip. We weren’t able to reserve a rental vehicle, but the Westin is a pretty short (albeit hilly) walk nearby and the open air taxis are easy to find to get around. We loved using the kayaks on property in great Cruz bay and her pool was beautiful with a gorgeous view. A/C in the bedrooms was a plus. I forgot to pack bug spray, which was def needed, but otherwise everything went perfectly. Highly recommend.

Perfect getaway for a few friends
A few girlfriends and I stayed for a long weekend trip and could not have been happier with our experience. Lin was an exemplary host and the property is absolutely stunning. Before we even arrived at the property, Lin was in touch with details on the trip and provided very helpful suggestions on what to bring and how to make the most of our visit. During our stay, Lin and her friends provided thoughtful recommendations about activities for the group and even helped us find alternative plans when our boat trip fell through. The space itself was well equipped, with access to a pool and grill while still maintaining its privacy from the rest of the house. The trip was exactly as envisioned and we look forward to hopefully making a return trip next year.
