Compact cottage with fantastc view
It's our second time staying here and hopefully we will be able to return again. We love staying on the quiet East end of St John and rarely return to Cruz Bay until it's time to leave. Rented some paddle boards for the week this time and explored all the small bays you can see from the deck. The kitchen is well equiped and we used the grill almost every night. Fresh fish for sale at the Calabash market was a plus.

Nice Cottage, But Poor Communication and No Internet
The cottage was nice, clean, and a good place to rest at night. However, it’s not really a place to hang out, as there weren’t any lounges on the deck. That wasn’t an issue for us since we headed to the beaches daily. We did notice a musty smell in the house, particularly in the bathroom and near the washing machine, which made me wonder if it was coming from the towels. The mustiness was also noticeable on the deck. The biggest issue, and the reason for the reduced rating, was the lack of functional internet. Although the internet worked for the TVs, it was unusable for anything else. It was clearly not a provider issue. The property manager was unresponsive, and even after contacting the owner, the issue was not resolved during our stay. With no cell service in the area, this was especially frustrating. For example, we were unable to rebook a boat day after a cancellation and couldn’t log in for work in the evenings as planned. A simple reboot of the router likely would have fixed the issue, but no one came out to assist. To add to the frustration, we noticed an alarm going off in the main house (possibly a smoke detector) and alerted the property manager but received no response. There was also no cooler included which we noticed while property manager was still there. She was unable to find it. Overall, while the cottage itself was pleasant, the lack of internet, poor communication from the property manager, and unresolved issues significantly impacted our experienc

Perfect family vacation!
We stayed at Sugarview Cottage for 10 days for our family vacation. From the booking to check out, everything was smooth and hustle free. The owner Matt was very quick to respond to my question, and the property manager Leo was extremely helpful during the stay. The house was beautiful and very clean and had everything we needed for the stay including the snorkeling masks/fins, cooler, and beach chairs. The house was located on a very quiet and private hill, yet close to the restaurant and super market. The view from the balcony was simply amazing. We love being the East end of the island, being away from the business. We also loved the beaches here as it was very quiet and rarely see many people. Besides, any beaches on STJ are easy drive from the house, so we explored almost all every day very easily. We would love to come back soon!

Perfect Getaway
Sugarview was the perfect villa for us! Situated on the quiet side of the island, we enjoyed outstanding views, beautiful night sky’s and privacy. The house was wonderfully equipped with beach chairs, snorkeling gear, back pack cooler. Everything that we needed for a comfortable stay was provided. Secluded location but close to restaurants, beaches and boat charters. Cruz Bay was only a 25 minute drive. We will be back! Karen & Art

Just as Pictured - except the mildew
The Sugarvirw Cottage was just as pictured- in fact some of our pictures of the view look better than what’s shown on the listing. Communication and information was good as well. However, be warned that if you are allergic/sensitive to mildew or mold, this is not the house for you. The AC does not run enough to keep the strong odor of mildew down. I had significant allergy problems at the house because of this.

Sugarview cottage was exactly what we were looking for - beautiful views (amazing sunrise, dark sky full of stars, lush greens and blue water) and so quiet and peaceful! The cottage itself was comfortable, clean, and stocked with needed supplies plus! This was our 2nd time in USVI and truly enjoyed staying here in Coral Bay.

Idyllic island retreat
Clean, cute and comfortable cottage! We loved sitting in the deck in the late afternoon with cocktails while looking out at peaceful Hurricane Hole after a day spent snorkeling at the beaches in Coral Bay or the North Shore. The kitchen was well stocked so we made dinner 5 of 7 nights with grilled fresh fish and fresh veggies from the Calabash Market. We enjoyed nightly stargazing on the deck and even a visit from a herd of donkeys it was a perfect retreat for a couple.

Clear Starry Nights
Great property. It is as described. Location is great if you like quiet seclusion. There is very little light pollution, so the night sky is spectacular. I’ve never seen so many bright stars. There is no noise either. So quiet and peaceful. The sunrises were spectacular. We visited Coral Bay restaurants and we drove across to Cruz Bay too. Nothing is too far away. This is a good location to explore the entire island.

Gorgeous view from balcony
House is in perfect condition and almost everything is new. Balcony was private and quiet. No one was staying at nearby house on property. The view from the balcony was mostly ocean and National Forest. Truly beautiful. Easy to access from Coral Bay in jeep. Grocery stores nearby. We would happily return.

Coral Bay Jewel!
This property was the perfect spot for the two of us to enjoy the peace and quiet of Coral Bay. The cottage was stocked with every amenity without feeling cluttered. Snorkeling masks and fins were even provided! The large shower was so nice after a long day of sand and sun. And the VIEW! Breathtaking every single day. The grounds around the property were beautiful as well; local flowers and plants filled the walkways and felt like paradise every time we stepped out of the door. Cannot recommend this property enough. Joice met us in town so we could follow her up the hill. She was a wealth of knowledge and so bubbly. We loved having that greeting. 12/10.

The best VRBO option on St. John
This place was truly amazing. Everything about the property and hosts were top notch. They thought of every detail to make sure you had a comfortable stay. The couple items we forgot, they had! The setting is beautiful, the pictures on the listing do the view no justice. It is in a perfect location, a bit up the road from Coral Bay, but just a few minutes from everything. Comfortable beds, laundry, fully stocked kitchen, modern updates. It couldn’t have been any better. If you’re thinking about it… just do it… you won’t regret it.

Perfection
Sugar View Cottage was everything we hoped for and more! Our host gave us wonderful instructions on how to find the cottage and when we arrived, we were blown away by the spaciousness, the cleanliness and the VIEW!!! The kitchen was stocked with anything you might need to make a meal - minus the food. The bathroom was perfect too. Each room was comfortable and in the closets we found beach chairs and snorkling gear. One evening, after arriving home, the automatic front door lock got caught in a cycle of unlocking and locking again...so we contacted the caretaker who came over immediately to fix the lock. Couldn't have asked for anything more. I don't travel a ton, and I'm always nervous that I'm not going to get what I'm promised, but Sugar View was indeed perfect in every way. It helped make this vacation the BEST vacation my sons and I have ever taken. (we all agreed!)

Private cottage with incredible view
We greatly enjoyed our stay at Estate Emmaus, it was just too short. On previous trips to St. John we had stayed closer to Cruz Bay, but loved being on the less developed East end. It was very quiet and peaceful in the evenings and the beaches seemed less crowded. Even though our favorite Coral Bay restaurant, Shipwreck Landing was gone - an apparent victim of the hurricanes, there were other great options like Johnny Lime and Miss Lucy's was still in business. The house itself was great for two people. The second bedroom was fairly small, would be good for kids. The kitchen was well supplied and even had sharp knives, never used the one I always bring with me. Loved that it was equipped with a reverse osmosis water filter. It tasted great and no need for buying bottled water. Beach chairs and snorkeling gear were also appreciated. We rented paddleboards for the week and were able to explore the bays just below the house. Found a few small beaches and awesome snorkeling. Hope to return for a longer stay in the near future.

A cozy place on the quieter side of the island - love it!
A cozy home perfect for my family of 4. The place was clean and seems to be renovated recently. The kitchen was well stocked and the air fryer is a life saver for all sorts of cooking needs. It has games, beach chairs and snorkeling gears. You may need to bring your own cooler if you need one (wasn’t able to find it in the house). The house is on the quieter side of the island (much less commercial than the Cruz bay area) with great view from the deck. You do need to share the parking area with the house right next to it. Have been to St. john many times and this is one of the best house we have ever lived in though there are some drive needed to get to the north side of the beach and the cruz bay commercial area.

Secluded area with a wonderful view
There are two main structures and we stayed in one that's connected to the patio where there is an amazing view of the bay. We had a rental car so transportation was not an issue. There are a few restaurants and a full grocery store/market within 5 minute drive from the property. We were able to cook some of our meals as well. The kitchen has everything including a blender and two coffee makers (one Keurig with pods provided). There was no reception in the area but the wifi worked pretty well. Pain free check-in. If you want something less touristy, this is an awesome choice.
