Nice place to stay in St. John

We had a great stay at this place and appreciated the king size bed. Its a quick drive to Cruz Bay and many beautiful beaches and snorkeling. The place is well stocked with beach gear (beach chairs, cooler, floaties) too :)

Our 62nd National Park

We thoroughly enjoyed our cottage with a great view over Fish Bay. Quiet and peaceful excellent communications with hosts on where to go, beaches, and beach chairs, towels etc for our use. Recommended Cloud9 sailing for a fantastic sailing day around outer islands and a couple of snorkeling stops

Lovely Stay at Ayiti Cottage

Book it! Everything was picturesque and perfect from the breathtaking views of Fish Bay, great communication, and excellent host hospitality, this is the perfect little cottage for a getaway for two! It was nice to be a little apart from the buzz of Cruz Bay, but still a convenient 7 min away!

Great place

Great place. Responsive owners who live next door. Ample space for 2 people. Nice outdoor area including deck with a great view and a hot tub. Clean, everything needed for cooking, chairs and cooler. Only thing I'll say, which is a St John thing overall, have a 2 door jeep. Very least have ground clearance, 4x4 would be preferable. You won't get around this island and up and down this driveway without it. It's worth it though. Have fun!

Perfect place

This place was perfect for my husband and me! From the sunrise views in the hammock chair with a cup of coffee to the night caps in the hot tub. We were able to make this our home base for everything we wanted to do on the island. We cooked several meals in the cottage and had everything we needed. Simple, clean, minimalist without feeling like you’re missing anything. It was exactly what we needed. It was a little difficult to find for the first time so make sure you get good directions before your day of arrival, especially if you’ll be arriving past dark. Zlata and Oleg were lovely and helpful.

Beautiful Home, Beautiful View, Wonderful Hosts

This was the perfect home away from home. As a single, solo female traveler, I felt comfortable and safe. I woke up to a beautiful sunrise every morning and the sounds of birds chirping. What a relaxing week on island.

Beautiful, quiet centrally located apartment overlooking Fish Bay. Zlota was a great host with excellent advice for sightseeing. We spent most of PO ur time away from busy Cruz Bay. sRecommend Coral Bay area, hike to the petroglyphs, painkillers at Coco Jim's.
