While we have visited St John almost every year since 1985 but this was only our third stay with Tina and Joe and it will not be our last. Their cottage has everything you could possibly want and it's located in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of privacy. During our return flight we met many that had stayed in Coral Bay and were looking for something closer to Cruz Bay and the North Shore beaches for their next visit. We highly recommended Cactus Flower as a good option to all of them. ##### Joe D.

The experience was so much more than pictures convey. Loved the dreamy bed, outdoor shower, stars and kitty visits!!!. We felt like we were in a small private resort. The pool and hot tub were surrounded by lush and lovely landscaping. We often had the pool and hot tub to ourselves. Never felt crowded, even though shared with a few other guests. Great location; far enough from Cruz Bay yet close to the Dolphin grocery store near the Westin Resort. We frequently drove to Maho Bay, as it was calm. The Windmill bar was worth a visit! Other days we enjoyed the large porch and clear pool. A note of advice: book your jeep early!!! Thank you Tina and Joe for your warm hospitality and for creating this magical oasis. ##### Chris M. Stayed 21 nights in Feb 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly M. 1 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute The house was so nice! Every amenity you could possibly want and need. The owners are friendly enough. They answered every question i had while were there and gave us a few helpful suggestions. It was very clean. It was as easy to get to as one could want. They gave superb directions from the ferry. We only got lost once or twice, but that had nothing to do with their instructions. The island is a little confusing the first time. But no big deal. The only reason i gave it a 4 star on location accuracy is because its super close to the adjoining property. Way closer than i expected. While its ok, being there for the first time ever, being without our children celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, we thought it was a hair more removed from their actual house. That being said, it was beautiful! Very likely to return to their property when we come back if available. Unless if couse we have additional people joining. Aside from the house being closer than we originally thought, it was perfect. ##### Kelly M.

Everything you see is accurate. The cottage is well-built and maintained. The heavy, tropical, hand-made woodwork adds a distinctive feel when compared to the local architecture. The drive is not far from town, but just far enough to enjoy quiet nights with the sounds of the local birds and wildlife. We like it when it's dark at night, rather than overlooking a lit up "city" below us. Cactus flower provided the ocean proximity and view (a little limited as depicted in the photos), combined with tranquillity in what felt like a very safe neighborhood. The bed is very comfortable. Woodwork and stonework in the bedroom add attractiveness, with the ceiling fan and AC for sleeping soundly. The dual fans in the living area keep the area comfortable, and heavy screened doors keep any bugs out very effectively. The shower is wonderful, connecting directly to the bathroom. All appliances worked well, including laundry, coffee maker, range and oven.The porch is a luxury. We dipped in the pool once, and never used the hot tub (but did take a look and it was tempting). The pool is small, as are most pools on St John. It is "attached" to the owners' home, but appointed for guests. After enjoying the beaches everyday and cleaning up in the shower, the pool was an afterthought. Hosts are very responsive when needed, but you are likely to barely see them if they're not. We felt that our vacation time and privacy were completely respected. ##### Joshua G.
