Expanded deck with outdoor dining and lounging. Lower level renovated in 2018 with new half bath added and new flooring and deck! Gorgeous views of Coral Bay. Cute little cottage (this is not a luxury villa) sleeps up to 6: two on queen size bed in bedroom, two in king size bed in the loft, and two on the pullout futon. KJKitchen is fully stocked with all the necessary utensils, plates, cups, and cooking supplies. This cottage sits at the bottom of the lot and thus has many steps (82) down to the unit. This cottage is probably not for the elderly. The cottage has air conditioning throughout, with the exception of the screened in porch and screened-in bathroom - what a view from the full bathroom! The bathroom was also recently renovated. Relax on the deck and porch while sipping cocktails looking at the boats anchored just below. Plenty of nearby restaurants and beaches to keep you busy all day long! In order to keep our rental rates as low as they are, the cottage only comes with 1 bath towel, 1 washcloth, and 1 beach towel per registered guest per week and linens for the number of registered guests at arrival. The cottage does not include in-stay housekeeping or towel/linen service. If you would like in-stay cleaning services you can arrange that directly with our on-island managers at your own cost. Additionally, if you feel you may need more at your arrival, please ask when making your reservation to pre-pay for 1 additional of each towel per person per week ($50 for 2 guests, $75 for 4 guests, and $100 for 6 guests) and we will add that fee to your reservation. There are several laundromats on the island as well if you would prefer to clean your own towels during your stay. For those who have been to St John before you can rest easy that the road to the house is a concrete straightaway with no switchbacks!

Great location near Coral Bay, super close to the market, restaurants, as well as some incredible beaches such as Salt Pond. Very clean property and check in and out was smooth. The deck was very well-kept, and they had all the amenities needed for a great stay. Would absolutely stay at Blue Wrasse again! ##### Audrey H.

It is private and well stocked. The outstanding view from the deck, especially at sunrise, offsets the 86, slippery when wet, steps to get to the cottage. The location is get. We are partial to the Coral Bay area. So, this was a great find. ##### Diane G.

We ate in some (kitchen has everything one should need), dined out locally (Skinny Legs and Johnny Limes’s), toured the island in a rented Jeep, swam at Maho. Heavenly. ##### Sara G.

This little cottage had everything for our anniversary week! The view was breathtaking. Jungle sounds in lazy Coral Bay are just the best! Please note- there are ALOT of stairs up/down to the property so those with mobility issues should opt out. Great place! ##### Michelle H. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Casey A. 16 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Magical If you can get past the challenges that have been described by others- 80 steps down, non potable water, no paper in the toilets, small space with only outside access from kitchen to bedroom, occasional electricity outage- then this is a wonderful place. The view is magnificent and from the deck it feels like having the entire valley and bay to yourself. A place to get away from civilization. ##### Casey A.

I didn’t know there would be so many steps down to the cottage but we got our flights in each day. Secluded and felt private even though there are residences on either side. Would stay again but couldn’t do it if one had knee problems. ##### Kerri F.

Close access to many great beaches and snorkeling areas. A quirky place but with a beautiful view. Worked great for my wife and I. ##### Jonathan F.

Our week at this cottage was great. The deck and view is the highlight. Watched the sun rise every morning. The description is accurate. We were fine with the stairs but that will limit who this cottage is good for. Don’t forget you need to carry your luggage and groceries up and down them also. ##### Guy W.

Nicely situated above Coral Bay with a great view of the water. Very clean and comfortable for us as a couple (and could definitely accommodate a few more). Beautiful inside and out and our hosts were very helpful! We would definitely stay here again! ##### Fred D.

The cottage is magical and has all the functions one needs while in St. John. The wi-fi is generally excellent and the kitchen is supplied with top notch items. We had an amazing stay. Thank you! ##### Jelena P.

It was very clean, pictures online are accurate, and property manager was very responsive. The views are outstanding from the deck, kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed the quiet town of Coral Bay. We plan on returning and renting this same house - we really enjoyed it. ##### Nancy H. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marybeth F. 26 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 1st Trip to St. John This was our 1st trip to STJ and Blue Wrasse did not disappoint. The cottage description and details shared were spot, making our trip that much more enjoyable. It felt like were living in a tree house. The views of Coral Bay and the surrounding islands were spectacular! If you like a low key vibe while on vacation, the east side of the island is a great choice. ##### Marybeth F. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason M. 16 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic stay Family vacation to St John, kids aged 7 and 9. Stairs are no joke but the payoff is privacy, solitude, and amazing views. Well worth it. Kids loved the loft bed area. I loved coffee in the mornings on the deck. Great to come back to AC after days at the beach. ##### Jason M. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda W. 21 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Wonderful view The place was amazing. It was a fun secluded cottage with just about every amenity covered. Certainly not a complaint but be aware that the bedroom ceilings are quite low. My partner is 6’ and bumped his head in the dark a few times. Beautiful place! ##### Amanda W. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Austin K. 23 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing views! Loved our time here - amazing views, location, and value. Well equipped with effectively everything we needed for a comfortable stay! Only minor complaint would be we wished there were curtains or blinds for the lower level bedroom to block out the morning light (and keep it cooler!). Also a note to future guests: the tile on the screened-in porch gets VERY slippery when wet (don’t ask how we figured that out lol) ##### Austin K. Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jordan L. 11 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Island vacay The property had excellent views and was in a good location. It was easy to get to the grocery store, many beaches and bars/restaurants. There were a lot of bugs and we both got bit by no see ums quite a bit which made things a little uncomfortable. It would have been nice to have better bug repllant or maybe some candles to light. ##### Jordan L. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie C. 13 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tranquility This is a little piece of heaven. Sitting out on the deck in the morning with my coffee was great while I watched the iguana sun himself in the nearby tree. BBQ'ing and watching the sunset were also very enjoyable. The swing is a nice touch to sit out in the evening and enjoy the weather. The bedroom was comfy and the outdoor shower was pretty cool. All in all, we enjoyed our time here very much and will definitely come back if possible! ##### Katie C. Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley C., Mount Dora 26 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing views The views from the deck are amazing! The cottage has everything that you need from cookware to toiletries and towels. Kat was amazing and made sure that we had everything we needed during our stay. We also used the snorkels that were provided at the property as well as the cooler. We packed lunches to have while at the beach and it was perfect. The only thing that I could possibly say negative about the cottage is the stairs. There are a lot of them so getting luggage up and down can be a little challenging, however, it was manageable and we were fully aware of the steps from other reviews. This property truly is great and was perfect for our family (kids ages 6 and 13) ##### Ashley C.
