If you seek a lush, peaceful getaway for two, this place is for you. Conveniently located just outside of Coral Bay, New Moon cottage is a clean and comfortable gem. The wraparound decks provide a gorgeous view of CB and endless bird and iguana watching entertainment. We were close to all north shore beaches and Coral Bay restaurants and shops. Communication with the property manager was excellent. We will definitely return.

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!

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.

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!

Great little tree house

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.

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 cottage in Coral Bay. We enjoyed our stay again this year at New Moon. This place has everything we could need- cooking/grilling supplies, beach towels, chairs, great bedroom with a view, deck with a view, etc. The location is great for us- hiking & snorkeling close by but on the quiet side of the island.
