Cottage vacation rentals in Cruz Bay

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.

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!

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.

Exceptional location, wonderful cottage we had a wonderful time

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!

We enjoyed our stay at Fair Winds. We especially liked the beautiful view,the hot tub and outdoor shower, and waking up every morning to the sunrise view in front of us. The house was very private,and we appreciated the town of Coral Bay, much quieter and less built up than Cruz Bay. At night the view of the stars from the deck was incredible. The drive to the house is not for the faint of heart, we appreciated Margaret showing us the way the first time up, and we got used to it as the week went on. St John is so beautiful. We had a great week here celebrating our 25th anniversary!

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!

I absolutely adored my stay at Bon Bini. This was my 5th on island and this is by far my best experience because of this cottage. I loved walking out every morning to the view and hearing the lively animals. Seeing the donkeys, goats, chickens. Location is nearby many of the best beaches and not too far from town. The drive up hill to find the place was intimidating but Emily gave awesome instructions and got easy. This place feels magical and would love to stay here every time.

Andrea was communicative and was able to let us in earlier than we expected! when we booked, she provided instructions about renting a jeep and getting to Culebra. very helpful.

Great stay. Recommended and definitely will stay again. Very private, the view is amazing and 2 AC units which help the apartment stay cold during these extremely heat days. A 4x4 is needed to reach the apartment in rainy days. I don’t think the golf cart could reach the unit. Keila is a great host and communication was great. Thank you for everything.

First I have to say both Maria and Chloe were fantastic hosts. They went above and beyond for me and my godmother. The cottage was absolutely adorable and perfect for two people. Very clean and homey. We loved it! The surrounding view of St. Thomas by the private pool was absolutely beautiful. You could even see the view from inside the cottage. What a amazing experience. The cottage is hands down my go too when I visit St. Thomas.

White Bay Villas cottages are just a slice of paradise. The view is the "wow" factor, however the cottage is more spacious than even the pictures do justice with a nice little separate living room and a small galley kitchen that has everything you need. The location is very private...a very manageable 4-5 minute footpath winds down to the private beach at east end of White Bay. You cannot leave a car immediately at the cottage...I was there without a car and any number of local drivers can pick you up very quickly...I think Jost Van Dyke is fine without a rental car FWIW due to the friendly and responsive taxis.

I would like to come back to stay here one more time if I am here. This place is great and the host is very responsive. There was a power outage on the island and Alfred offered me power with a generator. The service is great!

We had an incredible stay at this St. John gem! If you're looking for a private, authentic island experience, this is it. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful, making us feel right at home. The house itself is a charming rustic island home with breathtaking views. We loved having two separate living spaces, perfect for our group of two couples. The provided coolers, chairs, and floaties were a fantastic bonus, and we truly felt like we were living like locals. Plus, it was wonderfully affordable for all the amenities and views. Highly recommend!

Incredible energy, beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, and secluded from the rest of the world. If you’re looking for a beautiful place to escape on a small island, look no further. Grab a golf cart from Rachel’s rentals and enjoy the freedom of exploring water island! Ingrid was a delight in helping us with anything we needed. Everyone that was working/staying on the property was like minded and wonderful. Can’t wait to come back:)

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.

Amazing views of Cruz Bay. Very nice cottage and nice, convenient location.

Such a beautiful spot on the more secluded area on the island. We stayed in the larger house on the property so this is a review for that one but it was absolutely incredibly and had everything we needed and more. The views are top notch. Sam was there to help us get in and parked once we got off the early morning ferry. Overall it was spectacular — highly recommend.

Beautiful setting, comfortable, roomy, attractive cottage. Nice to have a full kitchen, bed was super comfortable, sitting TV area was comfortable, sun porch with table and chairs was a plus too. The deck and pool area is so pretty and peaceful. I spent a lot of time just floating in that pool! Met Holly briefly a few times and she is very helpful and pleasant. LOVED to sit on the front porch in the morning watch and the random chicken walking around. Easy, quick access to Cruz Bay and the northern beaches. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Tara's place was a perfect place to stay on St. John. Very private and peaceful with beautiful views of the sea and other islands. Very close to rams head trail and salt pond beach, which was one of our favorite places on the island . Between falling asleep to the sound of the beach below, or laying on the upper patio overlooking the islands in the evening, we hope to stay at Tara's place when we come back to St. John!

Had a great stay! Location is close to town and all the beaches. Cottage is very clean and was perfect for our trip. Make sure you have a 4 wheel drive car to get there. Driveway is steep.

What a beautiful home to stay in! It was perfect for the 2 of us! All the snorkel gear, coolers, towels, and chairs were helpful- so we didn’t have to rent any. Home is about 5 minutes to Cruz bay, and about 25-30 to Coral bay. Easy to get in/out of the house with our rental jeep. You have a shared road- but your own private drive. It was helpful for Mary to show us the drive from town to the house on our first night! Thank you for a wonderful vacation! Much enjoyed your slice of paradise!

Where to begin? Saj and Stuart's place was extremely comfortable, well appointed, located near 2 amazing bays with outstanding vistas of turquoise waters, spectacular sunsets, nearby islands. Saj was so responsive, caring and accomodating and her gardens are gorgeous. This was by far the nicest Airbnb we've ever stayed in and a true bargain at the price. A 4 wheel drive vehicle is recommended but we mostly made do walking, hitching and hiring taxis. If its available, snap it up!

My husband and I just went for our 20th anniversary. We LOVED how private the home was yet has such an amazing view. The property is perfect for a couple wanting to relax and take in the island. The pool was perfect for cooling off after a day at the beach. Loved waking up and having coffee on the porch in the mornings. The property also had an amazing outdoor shower that felt private yet in nature. JP helped us check in and he was very helpful with surrounding restaurant suggestions as well as some insider info for beaches and hikes. It couldn't have been more perfect !
