Cottage holiday rentals in St. John

A lovely week for our family vacation to St John! Fair Winds is very private, cozy, and comfortable. The VIEW IS AMAZING. We stargazed every night and felt the trade winds cool us off after an outdoor shower in paradise. The kids loved staying in the guest house while us parents stayed in the main house bedroom. Thank you, Margaret for meeting us in Coral Bay and leading us up the mountain so we knew exactly where to go!

Owners were super nice and easy to work with! Caretakers, Joe and Sally couldn't have been more helpful. My family would love to return to this special house!

Cynthia and her team were amazing. From the moment we booked until we left, the communication was prompt and helpful. The place is Heaven on Earth! The views are amazing and very private. There are gorgeous paths on the property with exotic plants and wildlife. The hosts have everything you will need, including aloe for sunburns, beach chairs, snorkeling gear, towels, coolers, etc. This is probably the nicest and most well appointed rental we have stayed in. The location is quiet and only a short drive to restaurants, the market, marina, beaches and hikes. However, being at the far end of the island, everything is scaled down and there are fewer people. We found uninhabited beaches and some of the best hiking ever. If you don't like crowds, this is the place for you. Highly recommend.

Our stay at Stonehenge Cottage checked all the boxes - perfect location, beautiful surroundings, plenty of room for 5 adults, comfortable beds, and lots of amenities. The place is close to restaurants in Cruz Bay and there are 3 markets to pick up groceries and fresh fish for cooking at home. It is also close to the hiking trails and beaches on the south side of the island which are less populated and provide great snorkeling.

Great get away to the lovely Fairwinds. Coral Bay is a treasure and Margaret was terrific - greeting us to lead us up the house on our arrival and very responsive to our questions. Great trip!

Lynn’s place was perfect for us as 2 couples visiting St. John. Close to everything and with beautiful views, we enjoyed our stay. Kitchen was also really well-equipped which was much appreciated!

enjoyed every minute at meritage! You barely hear traffic there, just waves and nature.. spectacular views and privacy..I was on the balcony every chance I had just staring off into the distance.. so relaxing! The place was perfect for the two of us. Close enough to cruz bay for dinner etc, but far enough out that it was peaceful and relaxing. They have a bigger house right next store that I was worried would be loud, but honestly barely heard them. We will definitely stay there again on our next visit if available!

Great little cottage with everything you need. Lorraine and Bob were very friendly and helpful.

Great eco-friendly glamping. We stayed in a concrete yurt that was beautiful listening to the waves all night long.

Maria and Chloe were such great hosts! Their prompt communication and local recommendations were simply the best and made us feel right at home! They went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time and we did! The place was absolutely beautiful with hands down the best views on the island!! If you're looking for a private place to stay with truly million dollar views and taking a dip in your own private pool, don't look any further and book this right away! You will be extremely impressed with this place! Thank you Maria and Chloe for making our vacation memorable!! We will be back!

Just as described. Beautiful view. Host was very proactive with directions, recommendations and instructions. Apple Maps took us right there, but if not very precise instructions were shared ahead of time! Close enough to beaches, restaurants, the national park and shopping, but was also peaceful and secluded! WiFi was a little spotty but we weren’t there for the WiFi (again the views of the back porches!!!)

Amazing deal with a fantastic host! You take your AWD up a bumpy, adventerous road, park, walk up an incline to a set of stairs. You're immediately rewarded with an amazing view of the island. Waking up in the morning to the view is something we'll never forget. At night, the moon illuminates the island and the ocean. Coming from NYC, its something I've never experienced. You'll love the hermit crabs, lizards, and frogs. Bring bug spray! Read the signs - no toilet paper in the toilet!! Headlamps were convenient to have at night, but they are definitely not necessary. Grab some cereal at the local grocery store for easy food in the morning. Breakfast is sometimes hard to find on the island. This Airbandb is in a great location for the restaurants that are around and for beaches out east and west. Try a different way of living. You won't regret it!

More than a Airbnb, this place a community of wonderful people congregating in a beautiful natural atmosphere. The two other groups there with me both have been going there yearly for almost a decade and it’s clear why. We even got offered a boat trip snorkeling in the middle of the bay among other hospitality! A fantastic place to support

St. Thomas was great but meeting Mida was my favorite part of the trip. She did more than she was suppose to do. Her personality was a true blessing during this trip. If you guys have de opportunity to book with her, don’t think it twice. After that trip I won a mom in st. Thomas.

Very nice. Pictures are very accurate. Comfortable. Clean. Nice.

I’ve stayed at many airbnbs and always had to message the host for something missing, not working etc. this place had everything you could need. All beach needs, kitchen needs and spices and things to store food, even had pens on the table, a portable speaker, yoga stuff etc. The only thing we could have used more of was towels bc we are women who have a towel for hair and body and the beach. I would 1000% recommend this place. Don’t let needing a 4x4 scare you it’s just safety precautions so you can make it up the hill. It was very easy tho. Will be back here again

We loved our stay at Tara’s! It was private and just what we were looking for on our first trip to St. John. The driveway is a doozy, just as it’s described - you’ll definitely need 4 wheel drive. Overall we had a great time and Tara’s place was perfect for us!

We had a lovely time. Sylvia showed us around on the first day which was a big help. It was nice to be able to walk everywhere, and we got to see the island peacocks on several occasions :-) walking to and from town.

This is a place WORTH the adventure! The drive up is something serious but you get used to it, the location is definitely worth the drive. You get to wake up and see the boats in the bay and feel the breeze of the mountain. I will say if you aren’t ready to shower outside this is not the place for you lol! The only complaint is not being able to stay longer lol! Will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful stay at Sylvia’s! She is very friendly and had great recommendations. We were able to walk to all the places we wanted to visit in Cruz Bay (Low Key Watersports, Beach Bar, Lime Inn, EVB, Mongoose Junction, Coconut Coast Studios). We appreciated that she picked us up, showed us around, and dropped us off at the end of our stay. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a very nice stay at the Ocean cottage. It was clean and very comfortable, with beautiful landscaping and nice pool. Coral Bay is a quiet side of the island but there were plenty of good restaurants and a market close by. The beach chairs, cooler, and umbrella were nice touches as well! Overall a great experience.

flawless stay - clean, safe, quiet, and place was well kept

Our vacation getaway to Dove Cottage was perfection. The home/cottage is beautiful, the views all around the property are spectacular and the peacefulness and privacy are unmatched. The cottage was super clean and the kitchen was fully equipped, modern and gorgeous. Lots of outdoor living space to enjoy. We’d go back in a heartbeat! Jared was a very responsive and helpful host. Highly recommend Dove Cottage and St John , in general.
