My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon. The cottage is just as advertised— a beautiful location on the quiet side of the island. Oleg was an excellent host who ensured we had all info necessary to begin our stay. As seen in prior reviews, a jeep rental is absolutely necessary as the mountainous roads in St. John are no joke. The cottage is only about 10 minutes from Cruz Bay and 15 from the National Park. It truly is a great location and I could not recommend more. The island is gorgeous. Be sure to rent snorkels for the incredible reefs at the beaches, and stop by the pull overs on the national park road at sunset for a truly unbelievable view. Morgan’s mango, the Lime inn, and Windmill Bar at sunset are great dinner options!

We loved our stay at their house and our own private cottage! The view is wonderful and the hot tub was fairly private with beautiful surroundings. Something which should be noted is that a four Wheel drive vehicle is nearly required for this place. Communication was a slight issue while we were there. The bug zapper was much appreciated!

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!

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
