Monthly Rentals in Saint John

Great spot only minutes from Cruz Bay. There’s a single parking spot that takes a little work to fit into but it’s sufficient. Good house for our family of 4 (2 teens). GREAT views from the back deck for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Would suggest darker curtains in the bedrooms as the current ones don’t keep out any light. Bed linens could be upgraded. Host was very responsive and easy to contact.

The view was gorgeous. Karen met us in our Jeep and told us beforehand we had to rent a 4-wheel drive Jeep to be able to get to her place. The drive up and down is a little harrowing. So if you are not a person who values nature enough to put up with a somewhat dangerous drive to get there, this is not for you. But we loved the place. We never had to lock the place when we left. We never used the air conditioning. We left the windows open most all the time, the whole ten days, including at night when we were sleeping. The breeze was lovely. We got to talk to Karen before we got there and after we got onto the island for help info. Karen let us use her kayak, beach chairs and her cooler; nice! She is a lovely person! I loved the isolation; all the nature! We did have to walk up and down a series of rock/cement stairs to get from the Jeep to the cottage and visa versa; it was lit from dark to about 9:30pm. We are hardy walkers. Wished we had had a few more hangers; had 6.

We loved staying at the cottage; off the beaten track, very clean, had everything we needed, loved the availability of filtered drinking water, ceiling fans and AC, (which we rarely used as we preferred the windows open and the sound of the waves....). The bed was super comfortable. Ann Marie and David were wonderful hosts. She stayed in touch to respond to my questions in a timely fashion before and during the trip. They offered to meet us at Skinny Legs to help us find the place. We opted to find it on our own after studying the roads on Google Maps and following Ann Marie's instructions which included photos ..a little challenging but we did it. If you have any doubts, you might take them up on their offer! So much natural beauty here, highly recommended! Nice to have the hosts right there if you need anything but also had the privacy that we wanted. No neighbors nearby! Beautiful and peaceful place to stay; would stay there again.

The cottage was fabulous: remote, gorgeous, comfortable, clean, well situated, plenty of space and seating. I loved the location, antidote to civilization for sure. The 3 different decks, I used them all, were excellent. I loved waking to the sunrise out the doors/front windows, and that the sun retreated as the day ended and helped keep it cool. We barely needed the AC (only upon late arrival when everything had been closed up) and by the next day it was just ocean breezes. Everything we needed was there, towels, beach chairs, kitchen supplies and gear. Comfy bed. The views are spectacular. We expected to drive to Cruz bay once or twice but once we arrived we didn’t want to leave. The food options were delicious and low key and just right. The snorkeling was accessible nearby and also excellent. Thanks for a great trip!!
