What a special place this is! From the moment I arrived, I was taken in by the beauty of this bungalow. It’s not only absolutely stunning, but also so thoughtfully equipped with everything I needed to feel right at home. I loved being able to cook our own meals here — the kitchen truly has it all — and enjoying them in such a peaceful, gorgeous setting made it even better. Every detail made my stay comfortable, relaxing, and unforgettable.If you’re staying here, do yourself a favor and visit Brown Bay. There are little secrets to behold all along the way, especially if you explore past the point on the right-hand side. There, you’ll discover what feels like your own private aquarium — calm, clear waters filled with beautiful marine life, just waiting to be admired. It was pure magic.Thank you for sharing this slice of paradise with me. I left refreshed, grateful, and already dreaming of my return!

Our host, Jill met us on the rode and drove us to the cottage. I'm not sure if we would have found it on our own even with GPS. The cottage is nestled in the woods in a beautiful setting. The cottage itself was very nice and comfortable and cozy with a wonderful view of Coral Bay. Plenty of storage space for clothes. The 2 wrap around porches were a great place for morning coffee or sunset happy hour. Being on an island we lost power a couple of times but not for more than an hour or two. Also be aware there are a number of steps to get to the cottage. Overall, a great find.

This property was absolutely fantastic. Communication was great throughout, and the house itself was beautiful. It's just a few minutes outside of Coral Bay and was easy to get to, with a jeep or four wheel drive due to the steep hillside. The house was exceptionally comfortable and well appointed. For anyone who enjoys nature, this is your place. The night sounds with the frogs were amazing and lulled us to sleep each night. And the views are breathtaking. We look forward to visiting again and would definately select this home!

Little slice of heaven

The craftsmanship of the cottage was impeccable! We met Tim who built them and is part owner; incredibly nice and amicable. Jill was there to meet us and the info she gave prior really made a difference in our trip. She was very informative on the area, and had several books on where to go for snorkeling, hiking and food. Lots of accommodations including first aid kit, coolers and chairs for the beach, spices and utensils for cooking, a grill, etc. On days we didn’t snorkel, we stayed in the cottage and lazed about. The iguanas, the numerous bird species and bats at nighttime were pure endless entertainment. We spent a week there and it wasn’t long enough. The locals were super friendly and hospitable. Definitely hope to go back! Thank you Jill and Tim for a perfect honeymoon getaway!!

Amazing escape in Coral Bay

This was our first time staying in St. John. We heard great things about Coral Bay and loved this location. It has quick access to the north shore beaches and quick access to the east and southern beaches as well. Jill was very kind to meet us in Coral Bay upon arrival and took us up to the house and gave us a rundown of the property as well as recommendations for grocery stores and restaurants. The home was very clean and very well taken care of. The property is very private and we felt like we had the whole hillside to ourselves. We loved the treehouse feel to the property with the screened windows and fans. We felt like we had a very authentic tropical island experience. The evenings were amazing, the forest came alive and the sounds of birds and bugs made for a peaceful sleep. I’ve stayed in many vacation homes and this bed was the most comfortable I’ve slept in, the next best thing to my own at home. We cooked in for most of the dinners, and we had everything we needed to prepare our meals. We also used the grill to bbq a few times and it was great! I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for privacy and looking to stay on the quieter side of the island.

Great location, very comfortable and private

We enjoyed our stay and exploring St. John. We had been a little apprehensive about staying in Coral Bay, but we found it peaceful and convenient. Several local markets met our needs and a couple of restaurants were casual and had good food. The apartment was unique and the builder had taken care and pride in the design and workmanship. It was great for the two of us and we would gladly return.

Perfect getaway on St. John. The property is tucked into the trees with a comfy bed and bath upstairs and well stocked kitchen downstairs. We love the coral bay side of the island and it's a quick drive to the shops and restaurants and nearby beaches. Perfect for a couple.

Amazing cottage. Very clean, cute and well-maintained. It has a beautiful view from the bedroom. Kitchen was equipped with everything you Might need. There is no A/C, but we were not bothered by it because it does not get too hot in the cottage during the day and the nights were cooler and really comfortable. The neighborhood cat, Patches, is an absolute sweetheart! The location is great because it is a few minutes from great restaurants and grocery and 15 mins from the beach. The local culture and vibe is very relaxed and chill. We loved our stay!

Peaceful

We stayed at the new moon location. Up in the trees, amazing view, usually had a nice breeze, can get warm in the middle of the day but we were out and about at that time so the morning evening and night were nice and cool with just a fan. Nicely built and everything you need, good location on the quiet side of the island. Would like to come back, but may have to bring our kids next time and this is a single couple set up. We enjoyed it very much, peaceful, beautiful and relaxing.
