Private Apt. with Water View/Gorgeous Location for 2 Stonegarden Cottage came through hurricanes Irma and Maria undamaged and the interior on the cottage is virtually the same as before the storms. We have repaired, restored or replaced mostly all exterior features, including solar panels, railings, fences, and our beautiful gardens and nature trails. Back-up Power: The island's power company has been struggling since the hurricanes, and there are frequent island-wide outages, sometimes for several hours a day (the longest recent outage was 29 hours in August 2019). So, we installed a Tesla Powerwall back-up battery for our solar panels which means you will not even notice when the power goes out on island. There will be no noisy generator to spoil your peace and quiet. And the best thing is that you will not have to run around in the dark looking for flashlights, or refrain from using the water for doing dishes and showering, because you will have power to use the lights, water, fans, refrigeration, stove and oven, etc. Now, here is more information about our home: Stonegarden Cottage consists of upper and lower levels which can be rented together or separately, sleeping two to eight guests. Christmas and New Year's Weeks: Whole House only, 7 night minimum stay required. NOTE: This listing is for the Lower Level and the rates correspond to that level only. You can rent the whole house (3 bedrooms, sleeps 8) by visiting VRBO listing # 1500675 where you'll find more detailed information, including an active availability calendar. Regarding availability in the Upper Level (2 bedrooms, sleeps 6) - see VRBO listing # 72154 for more detailed information and calendar. Stonegarden Cottage offers you a private retreat where you will enjoy your dream vacation on Saint John in the US Virgin Islands. Offering the privacy, comfort and views of a villa, this unique rental home beckons many of our loyal guests back year after year. Upgraded Nov. 2016 and August 2018 with all new windows & screens, decks, interior decor, and an enlarged and fully tiled bathroom, re-tiled floors and rebuilt kitchenette in the lower level. This beautiful St. John vacation rental offers a gorgeous island view and on-site nature trails, close proximity to pristine National Park Beaches and restaurants and shops of Coral Bay - the peaceful side of St. John. The cottage nestles within a shady, tropical forest, high up the steep slopes of St. John's Bordeaux Mountain. At the foot of the mountain lies picturesque Coral Bay harbor; beyond unfolds a panorama of peninsulas, islands, beaches and glowing turquoise channels that run east as far as Virgin Gorda and the Anegada Passage. This is the view Islands Magazine chose as the top spot in the world to watch the sunrise of the new millennium. The Upper and Lower Levels of the cottage can be rented together or separately. Lower Level: For a couple looking for a combination of affordability and comfort, Stonegarden Cottage's recently renovated downstairs unit is a perfect choice. Private and quiet, this charming apartment with stained-glass windows and beautiful views to the harbor is equipped with a fully stocked newly built kitchenette -- microwave, hotel-size refrigerator, deep-freeze, and full size double-sink. The beautiful, fully tiled bathroom, charming antiques, art and hand-carved 4 poster Balinese bed make this an extra special retreat for two. Enjoy the comfortable amenities of our newly renovated Lower Level, with its queen-sized bed, private bath with shower, dining table and chairs, reading chair and lamp, double bureau, hanging-clothes closet, as well as a dining deck with bistro-table and chairs, air-conditioning, grill and gardens with awesome harbor view and direct access to the trails of Guavaberry Woods. The lower level was remodeled August 2018, as has a completely new kitchenette, new larger and fully tiled bathroom, and new tile floor throughout. The unit has its own separate entrance, driveway and parking space. It was built under the deck of the Upper Level, and has a cypress panel ceiling, giving the studio great insulation from any sound from above. Even though you will hardly know that there's anyone sharing the house with you, the upstairs guests are typically warm, friendly, and respect your privacy. Onsite Nature Trails: The best of St. John's natural beauty and astonishing biodiversity lies on-site at your doorstep. The large (2/3 acre) hillside property is an ecological wonderland that invites wandering -- beautiful hand-crafted stone paths and gravel trails on several different levels lead you through the lush hardwood foliage of Guavaberry Woods. Cool Retreat: Steady tradewinds, an easterly view and the lush surrounding forest make Stonegarden Cottage a comfortable tropical getaway year-round -- cool, quiet and peaceful. After a day on blazing white sand beaches or out on the glittering sea, it is delightful to return up the mountain to your forest retreat, savor a frozen drink while enjoying the view or gaze into a lily pond while hearing the breeze rustle the treetops. NOTE: A 4-wheel drive vehicle is required in order to rent this unit (unless you are going carless) due to the need for a higher wheel-base to use the driveway.

I spent six nights at this spacious studio, great place to get away from it all. Great place to come back to after a day of swimming and snorkeling. It is in a garden type setting and I loved hearing the frogs sing every night. It had everything that I needed and Gwen the property management lady was awesome! Nice, warm, friendly and very informative. Booking process was easy. Quick deposit return. I could not ask for anything better! ##### Joan S.

The grounds and surrounding trails through the woods were quite enchanting and I found many hidden treasures during my wandering, including a secluded sitting area where you can enjoy a tranquil waterfall after recent rains. The hammock located in the back provided the perfect space for reading during the day, or just relaxing and enjoying a glass of wine while listening to the sounds of birds and frogs as evening approached. Coffee is a must out on the deck, where you have a phenomenal view of Coral Bay. The inside space is expertly decorated in a tropical and tasteful manner, and the only maintenance issue I had was promptly addressed by the friendly and experienced staff. I highly recommend Stonegarden Cottage to anyone wishing to have a quiet retreat after exploring the beaches and park trails of St. John. ##### Rhonda A. ### 6/10 Okay #### Theresa M. 15 Jul 2021 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### I wanted to love this place The apartment is cute with a beautiful view, and has a great location in Coral Bay. However, I experienced a few mishaps during my stay. Before I arrived I received detailed instructions for the property, which I read in full. However, they did not specifically mention how I would enter the property (ie. key or code). It wasn't a big deal, but when I asked about it, the owner sent me the following: "I sent you all the instructions about your arrival in the previous email. There is no code to enter the residence. Please read the arrival instructions thoroughly, and let me know if you have any other questions." I did not feel it was necessary to respond this way to a simple question. Second, the garbage can in the kitchen was full of trash upon my arrival. I contacted the property manager, but unfortunately no one showed up to take out the trash within 24 hours. I ended up taking it out myself, since I had nowhere to throw my own trash. Third, the property description advertises that you cannot hear any noise from the unit above. I did not find this to be true. I had a group of six stay above me, and they were quite rowdy the first night, so I could hear everything. My husband could even hear them over Facetime when I spoke to him. The owner did address this and the noise improved greatly. That said, I could still hear normal movements, like doors and drawers closing and chairs scraping the deck, so I don't find it accurate to say there is no noise at all. Finally, on one of my last mornings I woke up to a "mahogany bug" in the kitchen sink that was about two inches big. I at this point opted to stay on the other side of the island for my last night because I'd simply had enough. I do feel like this adorably decorated unit has the potential to offer a lovely escape, but unfortunately that was not my experience. ##### Theresa M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Siobhan W. 24 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful stay! I really appreciated how well they prepared us for the stay. They cared not only about the quality of the property but also about our overall experience on the island! We had everything we needed, and I couldn't get enough of the view. ##### Siobhan W. Stayed 7 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen R. 22 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing stay Lovely place- even better than listed. We would definitely stay again. However before you commit, it is important to know that the owner requires car rental. This made it a much more expensive vacation than we anticipated as rental prices were exorbitant . ##### Helen R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie B. 6 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Home, Breathtaking Views We just want to say thank-you for opening up your beautiful island home! We spent a week in the lower level of Stonegarden Cottage and highly recommend it. The studio is very comfortable, has everything needed, easy to fix meals in, and has breathtaking views!! Eating outside on the private patio looking down island was just so relaxing. First visit since the storms – the beaches are beautiful and the water clear. Lots of turtles at Maho Crossing. Lime out has amazing tacos. Grouper Reuben at Miss Lucy's was delicious, as was the pizza at St John Brewer's Tap Room. Love Coral Bay side of the island. Pickles in Paradise just closed, other than Miss Lucy’s Sunday Brunch there were no longer breakfast options on Coral Bay side; so plan to either drive to Cruz Bay or eat-in. The road to the villa is paved, the parking space is on a typical island incline; so 4WD required. We can't wait to plan our next trip to St John!! ##### Leslie B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim B. 6 Apr 2019 #### Super Sunrise Cozy Cottage We loved the place. Great sunrises, and alot of great outdoors living space. Very cozy, and with the tradewinds the AC was not needed. We were fortunate that no one was upstairs during our visit, so we could hang out on the upper deck. We appreciated the cooler, and the beach chairs which we used everyday. On the norm we don't spend much time during the day at our rental but here was a perfect spot to play guitar and read. I'd rent this place again without hesitation. Thank you! ##### Tim B. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alice Y., Washington, DC 24 Feb 2019 #### Restful & Relaxing We very much enjoyed our stay here. It was quiet and peaceful, which was exactly what we were looking for. Every morning, we sat on the balcony to eat our breakfast and enjoy the sea breezes. Having that private outdoor space was really great. Also - the newly renovated bathroom is comfortable and very tastefully designed. We also VERY much appreciated a guide book of St. John. The book gave us detailed information about hikes in the area - without that book, I don't think we would have had such a great time. The place is clean, comfortable, quiet and we LOVED the sea breezes. Thanks again!! ##### Alice Y.

The only thing that could have been better would have been to have the upper level! The owners and property manager were wonderful. The view is worth everything. The cottage is nicely equipped and the beach accessories were greatly appreciated. Wonderful location just up the mountain from Coral Bay. Hard to imagine a better place for a reasonable price on St John. ##### David B.

Thank you National Park. Super choices for eating and groceries in Coral Bay with a truly friendly atmosphere . LL jeep was great. Our jeep stopped at Love City Market so we took the bus to Salt Pond and Rams Head while they came out quickly and fixed it so we could make a scuba trip in the afternoon. The rental was very nice with nice furnishings and true St. John history Thanks for sharing your corner of St John with us. ##### Russell J.

The cottage came as advertised and met my expectations based on the reviews and the pictures. Everything was professionally handled by the owner and the manager both of whom were responsive to our questions and needs. Though, we did not have many needs as everything we needed was provided including a grill with new utensils, a kitchen with everything we needed to cook, and a well appointed bed and bathroom that included a nice shower. They also had good towels and chairs for the beach. The cottage was perfect for two people. There are two patio areas and a walking path through the gardens. It felt very private and there was a nice breeze so air conditioning was not needed. The best thing though were the views! What a great site to see every morning and again when we came home later in the day. Stunning! The location above Coral Bay was ideal for us. I would return for another visit and recommend Stonegarden to any couple wanting to stay on the quiet side of the island.

My husband & I spent a week in the lower level Stonegarden Cottage in November. This was our first visit to St. John and I had researched a number of rental options on VRBO before deciding on this little cottage. We definitely made the right choice in staying in this adorable cottage. The setting is idyllic. It's very private, quiet, and such a warm place to return after a long day of exploring the gorgeous beaches. The cottage had every comfort of home. We explored the majority of beaches on the island and we're glad we decided to stay on the quieter east side of St. John. The property manager, Emily, was fabulous in helping us get settled and answering our questions. If you are searching for a secluded & cozy place to stay then Stonegarden Cottage will complete your special time on St. John. ##### Susan K.

My wife and I spent 8 nights in the lower level of this wonderful house. Everything is exactly as advertised-and more! The view is amazing; we spent every evening on the upper deck. (We were fortunate that the main level was not rented so we got the run of that deck also! ) The constant breeze coming up from coral bay made those evenings very pleasant and bug free. We never turned on the a/c as it was very comfortable at night in the apartment with the windows open. We had everything we needed for our stay- coolers, chairs , dishes and grille etc. As first time visitors to saint John we had lots of questions even though we had done thorough research on the island. From my first phone inquiry to Thia the experience was very smooth. She was very helpful with ideas and pointers for our visit and the whole experience from then through booking and the trip itself was a no problem experience. Their on-site managers, Emily and Anthony are an absolute delight. They gave us spot on recommendations for restaurants, beaches and grocery stores; and were just super pleasant to talk to all around. We already are making plans to rent both levels when we return in a year with friends! If you're fortunate enough to get to visit this jewel of an island i would highly recommend stonegarden cottage. While you're here don't miss aqua bistro, miss Lucy's on jazz night, and shipwreck landing! Oh, and if you want a beach to yourself- put the jeep in 4wd and venture out to great lameshur beach. It's rocky but the snorkeling is great and everyone seems to go on to little lameshur where the ruins are and the beach is sandy. We spent two afternoons there and had it to ourselves 98 percent of the time! ##### Patrick C.

The space was extremely tidy and clean and the property was a lovely little haven in the jungle. -Communication was quick, friendly, and useful. The property managers were some of the best we've ever encountered and made us feel right at home at St. John. They were a wonderful component of enjoying our stay. -The grounds were beautiful and well-kept. They were beautiful to walk around and morning strolls to the secluded areas were wonderful. -We would definitely recommend these accommodations to our friends/couples who are looking for a affordable, welcoming, and beautiful place to stay in St. John. ##### Michael P.

I stayed at the Stonegarden Cottage lower level on Saint John in August 2014 and it was one of the best vacations I've ever had! The home is nestled on a hillside over looking the sailing paradise of Coral Bay with breathtaking views of the U.S. and British Virgin Islands. This part of the island receives steady trade winds year round that are like natural air conditioning! The home is just gorgeous and unlike some other Island homes it fits in with the natural surroundings of this amazing forested island that is two thirds national park. I stayed in the lower level which is perfect for a single traveler or couple. There is every modern convenience you might and its thoughtfully and tastefully decorated with island art and nautical items from the owners family who are sailors themselves and an important part of the history of the island. From this home you have access to the most remote and beautiful parts of the island yet you are just minutes from the conveniences and night life of Coral Bay. You never need to leave the property to have a wonderful trip but if you do the world class trails, reefs, and beaches of Saint John will not disappoint! So book your trip and plan on leaving your cellphone and lap top at home. You will never miss themI When you reluctantly return from your vacation at Stonegarden Cottage you will have a million beautiful pictures and memories etched in your mind! ##### Rob R.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed in the lower level of Stonegarden Cottage. The owners are terrific, helpful and it is clean, well maintained, secluded and quiet. Fully equipped so you don't have to eat out if you just want to stay midst the lust forest. Minutes drive to all the wonderful snorkeling reef beaches. The grounds are lush and lovely. We recommend this place highly for the budget minded who like the quiet and seclusion but quick access to all the wonders of the island! ##### Cate G. ---
