Cozy Cottages in Coral Bay

Wonderful location for a family on a budget. 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. KJKitchen 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.

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!

- "Seclusion and beauty, we've stayed here twice and love the slower pace of the east side." - "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)"

"Harbor Lights"

Harbor Lights was designed to have everything a couple needs for the perfect Caribbean getaway. Overlooking Coral Bay Harbor on Seagrape Hill. Great water views of the Harbor and Hurricane Hole. The property is blessed with gentle easterly trade winds so even the summer months are comfortable.

- "We so enjoyed Harbor Lights in 2016 we decided to return to St John and stay there again. Beautiful, quiet, private cottage. It is close to several resturants. The pool was great after hikes and beach days. I would definitely recommend." - "Wonderful property! Great location in Coral Bay. Loved having our own private pool and all the outdoor space. Would definitely stay there again." - "This place was very private and amazing! Perfect for 2!"

New Moon is a charming one bedroom house for rent in Coral Bay, on the island of St. John. Surrounded by trees, with beautiful views of Coral Bay and Bordeaux Mountain, New Moon provides the perfect couples’ getaway. New Moon offers a spacious kitchen, beautifully appointed with hardwood mahogany cabinets and bar. This intimate residence will make you feel right at home as you enjoy all St. John has to offer. New Moon provides the perfect base from which to explore the white sand beaches of St. John and the unspoiled beauty of the Virgin Islands National Park. Located 10-15 minutes from beaches and trails on either the North or South shore of St. John, swimming, snorkeling and hiking opportunities abound. A variety of restaurants, shops and bars are less than ½ mile away in Coral Bay, and the bustling nightlife and shopping of downtown Cruz Bay can be reached via a scenic 25 minute drive.

New Moon sleeps just two people, but can be rented in conjunction with Just Enough (see VRBO listing 51729) for parties of up to four people. Both New Moon and Just Enough were custom built by their owner with the protection of the environment in mind. While separated by lush foliage, the houses are on the same property, connected by a short trail. This design allows for family or friends to have separate space and privacy, but the proximity to enjoy a vacation together. Each two-story house includes a bedroom and bathroom upstairs, living space and a fully equipped kitchen downstairs, and wrap-around decks on both floors from which to enjoy the views and stargazing.

- "My husband and I stayed at New Moon for our 36th wedding anniversary. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The house is clean and simple, but had everything we needed. We enjoyed the tropical landscaping, the beautiful craftsmanship that the owner put into building New Moon, and the laid back feel you get just being there. As others have mentioned, there is no air conditioning, but the fans (5 total) kept the island breezes moving. The shower had plenty of hot water and was refreshing. We bought 2 cases of water for drinking which we would recommend. The beach chairs were nice, plus there was a small ice chest and ice packs. There is a nice variety of movies and books. As far as games, they have checkers, backgammon, cribbage and chess. We appreciated that the house had soap, shampoo, conditioner, bug spray, and reef safe sun screen. The kitchen had plenty of utensils, pots, pans, etc. including storage containers, small Ziplock baggies, and foil. We used the grill, and it worked well. The hammock was uncomfortable. Staying at New Moon will definitely require going up and down a lot of steps. The house is easy to get to by Jeep.. If you've never been to St. John before, we would highly recommend it, and if you like to get away from the action, Coral Bay is the place to be! There are some great restaurant, and a few shops, but mostly you'll be relaxing. exploring the many beautiful beaches, snorkeling, hiking and living the dream!"

Salty Kisses & Goodnight Wishes is a one bedroom (with AC), fully equipped, home on the peaceful side of St. John, in lovely Coral Bay.
Coral Bay’s bars, restaurants and small shops are just a few minutes down the road and the North Shore beaches are short 10-minute drive away. And if you are seeking a bit more excitement Cruz Bay is not far and we can even arrange taxi service if you would like to plan a carefree night on the “town”.
While you can always enjoy a gentle breeze and very few bugs the house also features ceiling fans and AC.
The bedroom has a luxurious queen size bed, DISH television and DVD player, and offers beautiful views of the lush green mountains from the slider doors that lead to the expansive deck.
The living room is inviting and offers a carefully curated library of books that tell you the story of St. John (fiction and non fiction) as well as a collection of games, birding books and binoculars to enjoy the daily feathered visitors. DISH television and DVD player and Bluetooth speakers allow you to play your own soundtrack for your stay in paradise.
The full kitchen has everything you could want including; microwave; dishwasher; coffee maker, toaster, blender; full sets of dishes, glasses, pots and pans, knives etc. unleash your inner chef if you are so inclined. Or enjoy the delicious selection of restaurants situated in Coral Bay.
The deck offers a lovely view of Coral Bay harbor and has a dining area as well as comfy outdoor sofa. In fact that is where we spend most of our time when we are there!
Private driveway and quiet neighborhood make this a perfect place to relax and let Love City recharge your soul.
WIFI provided and AT&T cell signal is excellent at the property.

- "The property was even nicer than we had imagined. It looked out over Coral Bay, and located a short drive from restaurants and the town. Also not far from the spectacular north shore beaches. Amanda was lovely, and was keen to make sure everything went well for us. For those unfamiliar with the area, this location is at the other end of St John from the main town of Cruz Bay and the resorts. A jeep is not essential, but get something with power and clearance because the major roads are narrow, steep, and are either winding upwards or plunging downwards. Fortunately, Amanda's house is comparatively easy to access. The views as you drive around are spectacular. Roads there are populated by "wild" donkeys, goats, deer, iguanas, occassional hermit crabs, and other jeeps, which are also on the wrong side of the road. Fun places to eat are close by, as are markets to buy food. These are not suburban supermarkets, however, and the prices reflect how far the food has to travel to get to you. The people are a lot of fun, and get pizza at the Salty Mongoose and hang out there. You will need insect repellant esp around sunset, because of the no-see-ums. And coral-friendly sunblock. The best coral snorkeling is probably at Hawksnest, and Maho beach has turtles if you snorkel out toward where the boats moor. You can rent snorkel fins and mask for about ten dollars a day at the dive shack."

Tucked high on Sea Grape Hill, Bon Bini Cottage is a peaceful retreat overlooking beautiful Coral Bay, St. John. The cottage boasts picturesque views, convenience to the town of Coral Bay and nearby beaches, and all of the amenities of home.

*** KEY FEAUTRES ***
-One bedroom, one and a half bathroom home with no shared spaces whatsoever (complete privacy for you & your guest!)
-Air conditioning throughout
-Solar power with battery back-up
-Clothes washer/dryer (new as of November 2024)
-Full-sized kitchen with new appliances
-StarLink Internet
-Hot tub
-Stand-up paddleboards, floats, beach chairs, beach coolers with ice packs, & beach towels all provided

Bon Bini features a well-equipped kitchen, suitable for making meals during a relaxing evening in. The living area offers a cozy couch with views, air conditioning, an indoor dining table, and a private and spacious attached half bath. The kitchen, living room area, and half bathroom make up one building of Bon Bini Cottage.

The second building of the cottage is home to the private & quaint bedroom with attached full bathroom. Complete with a queen sized bed, it is outfitted with air conditioning to keep you cool after a day in the St. John sun. The attached bathroom (constructed in November 2024) offers an indoor shower, clothes washer/dryer and large vanity.

At Bon Bini Cottage, the private deck is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning as the sun rises or listen to the enchanting sounds of tree frogs at night. Relaxing in the hot tub for two under the stars is a wonderful way to end the day. The outdoor shower showcases the view of Coral Bay while still being completely private. Lounging chairs to soak up the sun and an outdoor grill complete the space.

The cottage is also stocked with lots of beach gear, including: two beach chairs, four beach towels, a small cooler with ice packs, floats, and two paddleboards!

The property where Bon Bini Cottage is located is often visited by sheep, goats, donkeys, chickens, and tortoises. There is also lots of lizards/geckos and birds (thrashers, bananaquits, & hummingbirds) around at all times. Finally, it is important that we note to guests that a cat named Sebastian visits the cottage frequently and enjoys being pet. Sebastian has a comfortable home with plenty of food and water (he is not a stray cat!), but enjoys making his rounds at all the houses on the hillside. If you do not enjoy the company of roaming cats (or possibly other wildlife), Bon Bini Cottage may not be well-suited for your time on St. John.

The location of the cottage is the perfect mix of tranquility and convenience. A quick drive down the mountain leads you to the town of Coral Bay. Various restaurants (many with with live music), a grocery store, mini mart, and shops are all located within a five or ten minute drive. The beaches of the North Shore (including the notable Maho Bay and more secluded Francis Bay) are less than 15 minutes away. Visitors looking to enjoy the locals crowd on the beaches can venture to the East End of St. John or Salt Pond and Lameshur Bays in 20 minutes.

Please note that we have one NEST camera in the driveway/parking area. This camera records movement, but not sound.

- "We had so much fun exploring the beaches and historical sites of St. John. We appreciated the peaceful and scenic views overlooking coral bay. We would love to visit again! Emily was a fantastic communicator and has great taste!" - "We had an amazing time at Bon Bini cottage! The views, hot tub, and outdoor shower were wonderful. The cottage was well stocked with beach gear, we particularly enjoyed the paddle boards. Do yourself a favor and stay here!! We couldn’t recommend it more!"

Catch and Keep is just what so many budget-minded travelers dream of finding. For less than the price of a condominium or trendy eco-tent you can experience living in a real island home- built to capture the Trade Winds with 1/2 acre set in Nature. The cottage is comfortable, tastefully decorated, and best of all, authentic. The affordable pricing may let you stay longer, or treat yourself to a day sail or massage. With today's emphasis on 'eco-tourism' you can experience how a 'traditional' island-style home fits into its environment in ways that appreciate the culture and architecture of the island and respects it unique environment.

In scenic Coral Bay, 'Catch 'n' Keep' is a charming, West Indies-style home. Just ten to 15 minutes from nearby white sand beaches, the cottage sits on a half acre of wooded hillside, with a panoramic view of the Carolina valley and its stone sugar mill ruins. Plants and trees native to the environment have been encouraged and a large variety of native birds feel at home in the neighborhood.

Catch 'n' Keep is nestled in a quiet cul de sac off a secondary road with only neighbors passing by, with shaded parking right next to the entrance. Three small markets nearby make relaxing easier , as do a choice of eateries for those who really want to 'wind down' Well-sited to catch the cooling Tradewinds, the cottage is fully screened and Hunter ceiling fans are more than sufficient. Six large double doors open onto two covered decks where you can grill out with a Weber gas grill and dine in the fresh air. Or lounge in the hammock or deck couchand enjoy the country view, tropical breezes, and beautiful sunrises and starry evening sky.

The full kitchen is charmingly decorated with folk art and hand-painted ceramics collected by the owner in her travels. The bathroom features native stonework in the shower and full amenities. A comfortable queen-size bed with four pillows and sun-dried cotton linens awaits you.

The cottage is thoughtfully appointed for your comfort, and includes guidebooks, WiFI,and and streaming, lots of vacation reading, and games. You will also find beach chairs, beach towels, and coolers for your beach days. A variety of restaurants, eclectic shopping, kayaking, hiking, and live music are conveniently nearby in the Coral Bay area. Not as developed as the Cruz Bay side of island, you will find Coral Bay less trafficked, more relaxing and exactly your dream of what an island get-away should be like with not trying to find downtown Cruz Bay parking

- "This was our 6th visit to St. John. The cottage was just what we needed. This is the first time we stayed on a property where the owner was actually onsite. Judy was a wonderful host! We were so grateful to have her staying in her apartment below us for our visit. Our trip was unusual as my husband had an accident and needed medical care. Judy was a tremendous support and resource for us! She even offered to drive us into the clinic. The porch on the cottage was a lovely spot to relax. And we made good use of it as my husband needed a day or two at homebase because of his injuries. Fergus, her little dog was so sweet! He would come up quietly when we would get back from the beach, greeting us, and welcoming us “home.” Once we said hello he toddled off. He’d just come up to say hello! Judy was there when we needed her but mostly busy with what she had going on, so it wasn’t intrusive at all having her below us. Despite my husband’s accident, we were able to relax and enjoy the rest of our stay. We loved that the home was self sufficient with energy and true to the concept of ecotourism, but still had the modern necessities. We cook in every night and we had everything we needed. I know that the constant fresh air that came through the cottage with those wonderful tropical breezes helped my husbands skin wounds to heal so much faster than if we had come back stateside right after his accident. Thank you, Judy for a restful vacation!"

Tradewinds is a quiet, peaceful, private 2 level one OR two bedroom cottage perched above John's Folly Bay in the scenic, tranquil southeastern corner of St. John. In contrast to many cottages in St. John, we are easily accessible from a paved road. No scary gravelly mountain inclines to traverse to get to Tradewinds! Available as either a one or two bedroom charming, large cottage, Tradewinds can accommodate 2-4 guests. If it's just two of you, the downstairs bedroom is locked and unoccupied for the week. IF YOU'D LIKE MORE ROOM, THE DOWNSTAIRS BEDROOM AND BATH CAN BE MADE AVAILABLE TO ACCOMMODATE A TOTAL OF 4 GUESTS FOR AN ADDITIONAL FEE. YOU MUST INDICATE THIS TO THE OWNER THROUGH VRBO
A 45 minute drive from Cruz Bay(ferry arrival point), we are five minutes past Coral Bay, a one minute drive to Salt Pond Beach and Ram's Head. Tradewinds features beautiful sunrises from the large deck and the gentle melody of waves on the beach below.

This charming wooden cottage features light, airy rooms with stunning ocean views throughout. The deck commands a panoramic view of the British Virgin Islands and a southeastern exposure offers breathtaking sunrises-if you're up that early! Steady trade winds keep the house cool on hot days and ensure bug-free evenings.

Renting as a 1BR grants access to the upper level featuring a kitchen/living room/eating area, bedroom and bathroom. Or for more space, rent Tradewinds as a 2BR cottage granting you access to both the upper and lower levels-one bedroom and bathroom on each level. The lower level, accessed by an enclosed outside stairway, features a beautiful bedroom with a private balcony and a bathroom with ocean views. This configuration is designed for maximum privacy between two bedrooms-each with its own private bath. **This set-up is NOT good for small children, as bedrooms are separated and access between levels is via a covered outside stairway.** The choice is yours, one bedroom or two!
** PLEASE NOTE THE 2nd BDRM is an additional $75.00 per night fee which is not going to be reflected in the initial Homeaway quote. The owner will adjust the rate manually to be reflected. Additionally there is a cleaning fee of 175.00 plus tax.
There are only a few other houses on our hillside, ensuring complete privacy in our cottage, with a few houses nearby in case one wanted to wave hello to our neighbors.

- "This was our fifth trip renting a home in St. John and our fourth staying in Coral Bay area. Tradewinds is our favorite to date! The house is well appointed and the interiors are up to date and very tasteful. It is very slightly trapezoid in plan which adds to the charm. We were a little concerned on booking that it did not have AC, but it was not an issue. There was steady breeze all day. In fact, it could be cool in the evening. The location was ideal for us, located between two of our favorite haunts, Miss Lucy's and Salt Pond, and close to the main road so getting in and out was a breeze (has been issue at other rentals). We were able to reach the northern and east end beaches in 20 minutes (don't miss Haulover north if you snorkel). We did not have any issues but the Owner checked in on us to make sure everything . We had a wonderful time and would definitely book again."

Moonglow is an octagonal home with spectacular views of Coral Bay and the islands beyond. Vistas abound from every part of this spacious Caribbean home. (A sea view from every room!)

An air conditioned bedroom with a king size 4 poster bed awaits after a late evening soak in our round intimate spa. The moon and the twinkling lights of the British Virgins are your only distraction!

- "We were so happy with Moonglow cottage. Everything about it was just we we had hoped and we felt so comfortable there. Loved the hot tub at night under the stars!" - "We spent a week at the Moonglow cottage on St. John. The cottage is great - very private, clean, and well appointed. The views are amazing. St. John is hot at the end of June, but the AC in the bedroom meant we could sleep well. Bob made the check-in process easy. We'll definitely stay here again if/when we return to St. John."

- "Had a wonderful stay. Catherine met us at the jeep rental and lead the way to her place. Then made us a wonderful meal after a long day of travel. She had everything at the cottage that you could possibly need and gave great recommendations for snorkeling the bays. We enjoyed having meals on the patio and watching the birds and little lizards, less than 3” long, all around us. We had air conditioning to cool us off at night but otherwise enjoyed the breeze coming off the ocean. The views and privacy is spectacular."

Stonegarden Cottage offers you a private retreat where you will enjoy your dream vacation on Saint John in the US Virgin Islands. Offering the privacy, comfort and views of a villa, this unique rental home beckons many of our loyal guests back year after year.

This beautiful St. John vacation rental offers a gorgeous island view and on-site nature trails, close proximity to pristine National Park Beaches and restaurants and shops of Coral Bay - the peaceful side of St. John. Enjoy the water and garden view from our NEWLY INSTALLED SPA and TIKI BAR! Simply warm up after a swim, or treat yourself to a relaxing and therapeutic soak in the spa's jets. The cottage was upgraded with all new windows & screens, bathrooms, flooring, decking, interior decor, and a new Lower Level bathroom & kitchenette! We have a new whole house UV filtration system to ensure that your water is sparkling clean and drinkable.

The cottage nestles within a shady, tropical forest, high up the steep slopes of St. John’s Bordeaux Mountain. At the foot of the mountain lies picturesque Coral Bay harbor; beyond unfolds a panorama of peninsulas, islands, beaches and glowing turquoise channels that run east as far as Virgin Gorda and the Anegada Passage. This is the view Islands Magazine chose as the top spot in the world to watch the sunrise of the new millennium.

Back-up Power: The island's power company has been struggling since the hurricanes, and there are frequent island-wide outages, sometimes for several hours a day (the longest outages can last 24 hours). So, we installed two Tesla Powerwall back-up batteries for our solar panels which means you will should not even notice when the power goes out on island. There will be no noisy generator to spoil your peace and quiet. And the best thing is that you will not have to run around in the dark looking for flashlights, or refrain from using the water for doing dishes and showering for typical outages of 2-4 hours in length. You should have enough power to use the lights, water, fans, refrigeration, stove and oven, but you will still need to conserve power by not using hair dryers, microwaves, AC, etc.

Flexible Accommodations: Stonegarden Cottage consists of upper and lower levels, so you can book the Whole House for parties of 4-6, or just the Upper Level for parties of 2-4. We do not rent the Lower Level separately to ensure that you and your party will have maximum privacy, with only one family/party in the cottage at any given time. However, there is a very small chance that the owner might be using the lower level while you're there. Christmas and New Year's Weeks: Whole House only, 7 night minimum stay required.

NOTE: This listing is for the Upper Level (2 bedrooms, sleeps 4) and the rates correspond to that level only. You can rent the whole house (3 bedrooms, sleeps 6) by visiting VRBO listing # 1500675 where you'll find more detailed information, including an active availability calendar.

Please visit our website and Facebook page for more photos and information.

Upper Level: The fully-equipped, eat-in kitchen opens out onto the deck where you will dine or just relax while gazing at one of the most beautiful views in all the Caribbean, with an ever-changing light show of turquoise water and sundrenched islands.

The master bedroom with queen-size, four-poster bed and large, fully tiled bath has an expansive island view through a picture window. The enclosed Caribbean open-air garden shower blends traditional stonework with the tropical environment.

Off the living room, there is a 2nd bedroom (called the bunk room ) with twin-sized bunk bed and ample closet space. It has its own tiled bathroom - the open shower ceiling lets in the Caribbean sun and balmy breezes. This room is suitable for two children.

As an alternative to the bunk room, we offer a comfortable queen sized sofa bed with gel mattess in the living room. From here there is easy access to the bunk room bathroom.

Upper Level Rates: The rate quote you receive from VRBO is for 2 adults and 2 children under 18 only. The max number of guests in the Upper Level is 4, with the exception of adding one child age 6 or under. When you add a third child, you will be charged an additional $50 per night. We can accommodate one small child age 6 or under on a kids-sized air mattress that can be placed in the master bedroom. Additionally, you may substitute up to two adults for two children, however you will be charged an additional $50 per night per adult by the owner. We can accommodate up to two adults on our queen sized sofa bed. For parties of over 4 guests, please consider booking our whole house (which includes our lower level apartment). Rates vary according to the season and can be changed without notice.

The Upper Level is not air conditioned, simply because there is so much breeze at 500 ft above sea level, and with the house facing due east to catch the trade winds all year round, there is no need for energy consuming AC. The cottage has ceiling fans in every room to keep the air flowing, and create a comfortable environment.

Outside Amenities: Walkways from the front door lead you to our NEW HOT TUB/SPA, a spa deck for lounging and the stone paths and trails of Guavaberry Woods, where you'll enjoy bananas and papayas, tropical flowers and native shade trees. There's also plenty of trails to explore (see below).

Onsite Nature Trails: The best of St. John’s natural beauty and astonishing biodiversity lies on-site at your doorstep. A trellised archway of hanging tropical flowers greets you as you enter and walk down a short stone stairway to the front door. The large (2/3 acre) hillside property is an ecological wonderland that invites wandering -- beautiful hand-crafted stone paths and gravel trails on several different levels lead you through the lush hardwood foliage of Guavaberry Woods, where picturesque and unique ponds, a meditation garden, bridge and benches, plus gardens of orchids, frangipani, hibiscus, bougainvillea, citrus and tropical fruit trees delight the eye.

Cool Retreat: Steady trade-winds, an easterly view and the lush surrounding forest make Stonegarden Cottage a comfortable tropical getaway year-round -- cool, quiet and peaceful. After a day on blazing white sand beaches or out on the glittering sea, it is delightful to return up the mountain to your forest retreat, savor a frozen drink while enjoying the view or gaze into a lily pond while hearing the breeze rustle the treetops.

- "I could sit on the deck all day and all night. You will be in awe. Coffee on the deck in the morning to watch the sunrise. Beer on the deck at night to watch the stars. AC is not needed. The trade winds were perfect. Watching our beach towels drying off with the trade winds from the bedroom window with an unbelievable view of Corral Bay gave us the most relaxing feeling. The property managers were very helpful with our questions and teaching us how to park. We loved all the goats, chickens, donkeys and horse that freely roamed in corral bay. The property manager did tell us to shop in Cruz bay for food. I wish we did that as there is not much in Corral Bay. I wish we took more advantage of the grill on the deck. But, we mostly ate lunch at the beaches with a painkiller. Awesome stay."

Skyloft, a modern vacation cottage newly constructed in 2015, is perched on a tropical hillside 600 feet above Coral Bay one mile from the Virgin Islands National Park. It is one-half mile from the shops and restaurants of Coral Bay. The home consists of two buildings, a kitchen and a bedroom/bathroom. There is a spacious tile deck, a back deck shaded area, and external grilling kitchen, and a 12-foot diameter freshwater pool. There are two tropical outdoor showers.

There is a small but complete inventory of cooking pans and pots along with necessary utensils and plates.

The outdoor kitchen features a built-in gas grill, a sink and electricity. There is a sheltered outdoor dining/lounging area between the two buildings. Skyloft is specifically designed for guests seeking privacy and elegant outdoor living.

The bedroom is a separate, enclosed, fully-screened building with a queen-sized bed, ceiling-fan, air conditioning, two closets, and an enclosed bathroom featuring access to an outdoor shower.

The property is secluded and private, surrounded by a lush tropical forest.

Beach towels, beach chairs, and a cooler are available for excursions.

There is a minimum stay requirement of 7 nights

Skyloft is closed during the months of August and September. Check the calendar for precise closing and opening dates.

- "Skyloft is a special place - the views are unmatched and hosts very accommodating and communicative! I would highly recommend it. The outdoor showers are AMAZING!" - "My husband and I had another wonderful stay at Sky Loft! We stayed here last year also. My husband loves the pool deck & I love the covered sitting area. It was my favorite place to be in the morning watching & listening to the birds, lizards, and hermit crabs. The views from any area of Sky Loft can not be beat! I will admit that we were slightly put off that the owners were living on the property this time, but we quickly got over it. The driveway was indeed worse than last year, which the owner warned us about due to the recent rain."

Last-minute booking price drop of 20% off (from $295/night to $235/night, Oct 19-Nov 22, 2025; $365/night to $295/night Thanksgiving week, Nov 23-29, 2025!). Sale price reflected when checking availability/booking and excludes taxes, fees, and cleaning.

Here Comes the Sun is located in Calabash Boom, just a few minutes drive from Coral Bay shops, bars/restaurants, hiking trails, and beaches. It's an island escape a little off the beaten path yet conveniently located to some of the best activities St. John has to offer.

The cottage has a mini-split AC both upstairs and downstairs, however, the cottage's perch on a hillside allows for breezes as well as sunrises, moonrises, and views of St. John's East End, Tortola, Norman, and Peter Island (BVIs). Relax on the wrapped deck watching boats and the ever-changing sky. At bedtime, fall asleep to the sounds from the bordering jungle.

Here Comes the Sun uses a triple-filtered, UV-purified water system. It also provides guests with a variety of beach gear, including beach chairs, a beach umbrella, beach towels, floaties, and cooler with ice packs. Sometimes guests leave snorkel gear, but if you plan to snorkel, we strongly advise renting snorkel gear and fins from either Beach Bum in Cruz Bay (next to passenger ferry dock) or Crabby's Water Sports in Coral Bay to get a proper fit and clean gear.

The cottage comfortably accommodates 2 guests. Traveling with more people? Owners own the neighboring cottage, Summertime Rolls (#1025936), which accommodates up to 2 guests. Email to inquire.

IMPORTANT: A car rental is required, which is standard for getting around St. John and making the most of your vacation. We STRONGLY recommend renting a 4WD since roads are a mix of pavement and dirt. A 2-door Jeep is best for maneuvering/parking. NOTE 1: Guests are responsible for travel to Coral Bay. Schedule pickup of your Jeep upon arrival. PMs are unable to chauffeur guests, and taxi service to Coral Bay is limited. NOTE 2: There are 2 exterior cameras: #1 is on the deck's roof pointed at the BVIs and horizon. Its use is for capturing the view. #2 is pointed at the cottage's driveway to monitor for security/trespassing. Audio is OFF on both cameras.

- "Very pleasant stay on this property for 8 nights on St John. Many beaches that were very clean and teeming with snorkeling attractions on the island. Property was clean and had a great view. Bed was comfortable and a/c was adequate. Would stay there again for sure. Property Manager has very specific instructions and recommendations to make your stay as hassle-free as possible so take the time to read and watch the material provided to you."

Coral Bay Vista was hand-crafted by award-winning artisans Doug White, who flew to Guatemala to hand-pick the trees to mill for the home, and Dave Carlson, and the home is truly a work of art. It is a gorgeous high-end studio made in the traditional Caribbean style from Guatemalan hardwoods and stone and seashell walls. It has expansive views of Coral Bay and beyond to the British Virgin Islands.

You’ll find the interior decorated with original art. There is also a Pottery Barn queen sleeper sofa that is very comfortable, allowing accommodations for four. The owner lives in a suite below the villa, and is available at a moment’s notice for advice on where to go and what to do.

The kitchen has beautiful mahogany cabinets and granite countertops, and you’ll find everything you need for cooking and fine dining indoors or out. Note that there is a gas cooktop in the kitchen, but no oven. There is also a high end outdoor kitchen with a DCS grill and a firepit on the patio. The villa is designed to capture the constant trade winds that cool the house, assuring you’ll be comfortable night and day. Enjoy a tropical drink or glass of wine on the covered deck and dine alfresco on the teak outdoor dining table. There are two chaises and seating on the deck and patio.

The bath has stone and seashell walls and an indoor shower, and you can also enjoy an outdoor shower with the water flowing from a conch shell.
We have all the amenities of home including Roku TV, wireless internet, and an ipod connected sound system, though we think you’ll prefer to listen to the bananaquits and chorus of treefrogs.

The gardens are home to mature banana, papaya and guavaberry trees and pineapples. The kitchen garden boasts native herbs including thyme, oregano and rosemary.

The wonderful restaurants and shops of Coral Bay are just 2 minutes down Costanza Road, rt. 108, and you can be at the renowned north shore beaches, Maho Bay, or the Annaberg Sugar Mill ruins in just ten minutes.

- "Unique and magical place with wonderful owners. They gave sound recommendations and the view was stupendous." - "Kris was an excellent host and the property felt like a perfect "home away from home"." - "We had the most memorable stay here for our anniversary. The home has such a beautiful setting and the wood and stone work throughout embodies everything Caribbean. The kitchen was well stocked. Kris was easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend this vacation home to others looking for a little slice of Heaven in paradise."

- "Lovely little home overlooking Coral Bay. House was well-maintained and clean." - "The Little Easy was ideal for our three-week stay. It has a great location very close to Coral Bay stores and restaurants, but still quiet and private. The setting is amazing--the views from the two decks are even better than the pictures suggest. The house is welcoming, well-kept, and convenient--easy to make yourself at home. It is well equipped with everything you'll need for beach exploration.

You’ll love this treehouse vacation destination’s simple elegance surrounded by nature’s splendor,

The Teahouse Treehouse is one of the best reviewed properties on St John, with hundreds of 5 star reviews across multiple booking platforms.

Teahouse Treehouse was hand-crafted by a local artisan and is the most unique and lovely St John cottage rental.

The Teahouse Treehouse's appeal is due in part to its natural surroundings and closeness with nature. Its gently curving natural stone stairway welcomes you up to its tranquil serenity. Hummingbirds and flowers flourish and it caters to romantic couples of any age who enjoy the beauty of nature. Oversized mahogany Shoji screen panel doors let light pass through by day and keep the rain out at night.

- "This one-of-a-kind Japanese style teahouse with a breathtaking view of Coral Bay provided us with a unique and enjoyable experience. It was tucked high up on the mountainside and surrounded by lush tropical foliage. We received excellent communication from the property manager from the moment we made the reservation and it continued through the time we arrived. The amenities were as described and extras like beach chairs, snorkel gear, a cooler and beach tent were a bonus. We also loved soaking in the hot tub under the stars. We cooked several meals in the open-air kitchen area and found it to be well equipped. Staying in the Teahouse Treehouse was like living in a botanical garden with spectacular views. The remote location requires a Jeep."

- "Loved being in the Coral Bay end of the island, but still very close to St. John’s best beaches. The Island Glo apartment is bright and airy, all that we needed, with a wrap around porch and an extraordinary view of Coral Nay. Marcia has cultivated a friendly community of renters. We’ll be back!" - "This property is perfect for an extended stay, having everything needed to cook, grill and relax, in addition to a small library about the island. The studio was clean, well kept, in a perfect location very close to Coral Bay restaurants, but what made my stay absolutely special was the host, Marcia. She is truly a wonderful woman, her intimate knowledge of the island (and passion for it!) made my stay an unforgettable experience and the reason I will be returning to stay at the property. I would speak with her almost on a daily basis about where to snorkel , eat and just to learn about the island itself. This property and host combines to make for a truly relaxing and special rental."

IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT RATES AND POLICIES: Our rentals run from Sunday to Sunday. We have two rates: Low season from April 16 to December 14 and High season from December 15 to April 15 and those rates are as listed. The only additional charge is 12.5% hotel tax. We do not collect a damage deposit. Our 25 year relationship with guests has taught us that this is not necessary. We treat our guests with respect and we have found that they return the favor. There are no extra costs for reservations, cleaning or service. If you encounter any additional charges when requesting a detailed quote it would be from the advertising site where you found us.

Car Rentals: Since the purchase of Homeaway and VRBO by Expedia we have seen an attachment at the bottom of our ads with them encouraging guests to book car rentals through their site. Because of our unique location we strongly advise against that. You do need a 4 wheel drive vehicle. We have for over 20 years done business with a very reliable company, Courtesy Car Rental. We believe in them enough that we forgo the commission they would give us and to apply it as a discount to your car rental. Please discuss car rentals with us before reserving. Our most important interest is in satisfying our customers. But the recent take over of our advertising sites by large corporations is constructing communication barriers. We can always be contacted directly.

- "What can we say? My husband and I have returned for 6 years and always love Sago cottage. The views are incredible - especially the sunrises. The house is lovely and equipped with everything you would need - snorkel gear, beach chairs, beach towels, fully equipped kitchen, etc. The way the house is situated, there are constant breezes (but just in case - there are 3 ceiling fans and a free standing fan). Susan and crew provide support for setting up the jeep rental, the ground transportation, grocery locations, etc. We really love every detail - even the villa kitty - Tigger (stays outside but is available for attention!). The island, the house, and the view - incredible and highly recommended! We will be back for year #7!"

- "Calabash Cottage provides a total immersion in to St John, and it is magical. Perched high on the hill overlooking Coral bay and the lights of Tortola BVI you are surrounded by nature. This is not resort living, but, if that is what you want you probably won't get to know St John. If, however, you want a romantic, isolated experience that is comfortable as well as adventurous you cannot go wrong here. Yes you will need a Jeep, but, you will need a Jeep to explore St John so take advantage of Susan's relationship with Courtesy Rental. Susan's team will help you along the way to make everything easy. Sandra met us at the Ferry in Cruz Bay, helped us with the rental car and then led us on a tour of ST John on the way to Calabash. She was wonderful. St John is so small and intimate that we kept seeing Sandra through out our stay and getting advise from her each time. Coral Bay is a small sailing, water oriented community and everyone we met was friendly and helpful. The restaurants in Coral bay are all Good! For a fun experience visit Miss Lucy's on the way to Salt Pond and by the way go to Salt Pond and gather your own Salt. Great fun. Finally for a truly great experience buy a fish from the fisherman on the side of the road in Coral Bay (yellow tail snapper was our favorite), A bottle of wine from Love City and grill you fish on the Barbie at the cottage. If you go you will never forget your experience. Thank You Susan for sharing you island retreat."

We only cooked for breakfast then the rest of the day we were out exploring and ate out for dinner. We rented a jeep to get us around the island. Emily was always in communication with us for anything we needed. She was so helpful and great! The place was very clean and comfortable. I loved the outdoor shower! We had such a great trip and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone!!!"
