Island Escape for Two, Class and Comfort

Perfect hideaway for two looking for a home away from home on the beautiful island of St. John.
Just a 5 minute drive to Coral Bay restaurants or 10 minutes to the World Class North Shore Beaches. The Turtle and the Seahorse cottage is a bright and airy studio, easy to find off Centerline Road...plus NO stairs, take just a few steps from your car door to your front door!

Your deck offers a view of the Bordeaux Mountains and stunnning Coral Bay. Full-sized appliances and a clean kitchen stocked with essential utensils make your vacation easy and comfortable. Relax in your king size bed, or chill watching a movie on the Smart TV.
Beach chairs, towels, shade tent and umbrella, noodles, and cooler are available to guests. You do not need to rent a four-wheel drive vehicle to get to our cottage, our roads are paved....for other remote parts of the island it maybe neccessary. You can walk or enjoy a morning jog on the friendly neighborhood roads just outside the cottage.

Hillside bungalow for two
We really enjoyed the Seahorse & Turtle cottage.The interior is adorable and has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. There were generously many condiments, coffee, etc provided upon arrival which was unexpected but great to get started! The outdoor spaces are also lovely with of the mountains on one side and Coral Bay from the other. We loved not having any stairs to navigate with luggage or groceries so that was a plus. Also, having never visited St John before we feel we were very well located to enjoy many of the hiking trails as well as the beautiful North Shore beaches. Location,location,location! Allison and Juan were both delightful and helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again!!

Perfect Stay!
We had such a great stay! We fell in love with the views! Communication with Allison was fast. The location is perfect, so close to all the spots we wanted to hit - our favorite snorkel spots were Haulover beach (north), Leinster Bay and Salt Pond Bay. Our favorite hike was Rams Head. All these spots were so easy to get to from the cottage!! The cottage was well stocked and it didn't take long at all for the AC to cool the place down! We cooked our all dinners in the kitchen and loved eating out on the deck. Would stay here again.

Amazing Holiday Cottage
Allison was amazing on communication from the time of rental until departure. Cottage is quiet, in a great location for Coral Bay, very very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need for cooking and dining in. Bathroom was perfect, even providing some basic toiletries. Everything was as advertised. Chairs, umbrellas, cooler, towels and noodles available for the beach. I have been coming to the islands for about twenty years and would definitely return to this cottage.

A perfect stay
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here! Clean, comfortable, easily accessible and in a great neighborhood. The view from the porch was fantastic. We even got to watch a meteor shower laying out on the porch one evening. Dry functional kitchen that allowed us to easily make breakfast every morning before heading out for the day. We certainly recommend it and will return!

Another great stay on the island
Allison and Juan have a great, quiet place in Coral Bay. Great people, great view, etc etc. my wife and I have been coming to St John for many years. This little spot is perfect for a quiet, small rest in between days spent on the beach forgetting the rest of the world. We will be staying here again. Allison, thank you for your hospitality. Already miss it!

Holiday Hideaway
The build of the cottage is beautifully simple. Great welcome notebook with recommendations and a detailed trail map we put to good use. Everything is thoughtfully and neatly arranged. We brought food and were really impressed with the kitchen amenities. However, there is not a grill. Although there is a TV, we were disappointed that we could not get it connected to WiFi. Weather wasn't great, so we wanted to watch a movie. Cards, board games and podcasts filled our time instead.

Perfect bungalow
We went to St Joh for our first time and truly enjoyed our stay at this cute little bungalow! The place was spotless and the King size bed was so comfortable! It came with a cooler, beach chairs, towels and umbrella! The description was spot on! Big plus is the full size fridge and ice maker, key for packing cooler for the beach! Communication was great and check in was easy! Perfect for 2 people and the deck had a nice view of Coral Bay! I would stay again! Lisa & Cliff Setterlund

This cottage is charming, comfortable and nicely located for the Coral Bay area and going to Maho Bay and Francis Bay beaches. The kitchen is well equipped and is perfect for making breakfasts and lunches. The view from the deck (and the bed) is amazing. The roads to the cottage are fun to drive as long as you're comfortable with keeping left and amazing hairpin turns – You MUST have a rental car! We would most definitely stay there again if visiting St. John.

Dreamy escape that's perfect all around!
What a lovely, colorful, and perfectly located property for exploring the east end of St. John! We hung out at three amazing beaches during our stay: Maho, Francis Bay, and Hansen Bay. Close to restaurants and grocery store. The property has a wrap around deck with a gorgeous view of Coral Bay. It's nicely appointed with lots of amenities and small conveniences. Love this place!!

Overall amazing house and very impressive how all amenities are taken care of within relatively small space ! Directions to reach home was perfect as explained by the hosts. The house gives you a feel of a luxurious tree house. Great views of Coral Bay, especially at sun rise! Make sure to read the instructions diary provided by the hosts, they are very helpful and gives all directions to nearby stores and restaurants ! The house has all basic amenities including all new appliances and very cozy bed. Its also very close to all main beaches (10-15 min drive) and main hiking trails. Few callouts for consideration: * Driving: The house is 25 mins from Cruz Bay landing, so you may want to account for that. Also not sure how accessible it is to taxis as we had a rental car. You may want to research on that front if you intend to use one. Also note that the last 3-4 minutes of drive is very steep. Would highly recommend to reach home first time during daylight. * Trash: This wasn’t mentioned in the welcome email, but instructions diary mentioned to dispose the trash at the checkout. We would have liked the property manager to take care of it as part of cleaning services, but felt a bit odd. Another challenge was to find a place to dispose the trash. On the island, there are large garbage collection units placed every 4-5 miles. We had to find one on our drive back to ferry. A little more instructions around nearest area to dispose trash would have been good.
