The Verde Cottage is located 20 minutes from Cruz Bay on the top of Bordeaux Mountain - a very peaceful and residential part of St. John. The 1.5 bedroom/1 bath Cottage is accessed by a long flight of lighted stairs (67 steps in total!) which is your gateway to peace and privacy. After descending down the long lighted wooden stairway, you’ll enter the Verde Cottage stepping into the air-conditioned main living area. The living area has a comfy loveseat and armchair positioned to face the 40” Samsung Smart TV where you can stream your favorite shows and movies. There are St. John guidebooks to flip through, board games to play and fast wifi to keep up with your life at home. The compact and efficient kitchen in the main living area is well-equipped with a comprehensive array of cooking equipment and appliances (please note there is no dishwasher). You’ll also find a wide array of glassware and dining equipment with all of the essentials that you will need to enjoy your stay! Just off the living room, there is a large bathroom with a vanity, shower, toilet, storage cubbies, and clothes washer/dryer. The bathroom is stocked with basic toiletries and cleaning products for your convenience. Step through the French doors from the living room out onto the lovely screen porch where you'll find your choice of lounge areas - with swinging and seating options! There are two swinging hammock chairs framed by a beautiful view of Caribbean blue water and the British Virgin Islands through the trees. Around the corner there is a comfy conversation set where you can relax with a book and coffee, listening to the gentle tweets and chirps of the rainforest. There is a dining table that seats 4 to enjoy your meals ‘al fresco’ on the corner of the screen porch. The air-conditioned private Master bedroom is located just off the screen porch. The bedroom is small and tastefully decorated, perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun and sea. There is a queen bed with a comfortable mattress and soft linens along with a large dresser. For your comfort, there are blackout shades and in-room air conditioning. Early risers will catch a glimpse of the sunrise across the rolling mountains while cozied up in bed! The second sleeping area is a cozy loft bedroom located upstairs from the main living area. There is a narrow and steep flight of stairs that lead to a loft fully enclosed by railings with a queen bed and private dressing area. The queen bed looks out on a beautiful water view through the treetops. Please note, this bedroom is not suitable for young children due to the railings and stairway. The loft area, living room, kitchen and bathroom are in the main part of the home and are cooled by an air-conditioning unit in the loft. The downstairs queen bedroom has its own air-conditioning unit. We supply basic toiletries, paper products and cleaning products to our guests, as well as all bedroom linens/blankets, bath towels, beach towels and basic beach equipment (cooler, beach umbrella, and two beach chairs). GETTING AROUND: The Verde Cottage is located 20 minutes from Cruz Bay, 12 minutes to Coral Bay, and 12 minutes to the closest of the beautiful North Shore beaches. You will need a rental car to access this property as taxis are infrequent/unreliable on Bordeaux Mountain. Guests are encouraged to book their car rental as soon as possible as they are in high demand. Private parking is on a large gravel parking pad that can easily fit two vehicles. We provide complimentary beach chairs, a beach umbrella and a cooler to accompany you on all of your island adventures. OTHER THINGS TO NOTE: It's hard to find a quieter, more relaxing accommodation on St. John. Surrounded by jungle without a neighbor or road in sight, the Verde Cottage offers peace and tranquility. The cottage is nearly off-grid, featuring a large array of solar panels and Tesla Power-walls for uninterrupted power (and grid tied for those shady days). There is a cistern for rainwater catchment and we have a very robust triple filtration system. Please note there is a long long flight of stairs to access the Cottage, it is important to know there are 67 steps in total! This is a property suitable only for fit / active travelers who don't mind a little workout coming and going. Located as the perfect jumping off point to explore the entire island, the Verde Cottage is located close to many of the Virgin Islands National Park trailheads and white sand beaches. We would be happy to help you make the most of your visit to St. John and are available 24/7 to answer questions. The Verde Cottage is the perfect island accommodation for a couple or a small family to fully unwind and recharge in a natural setting. You’ll enjoy soaking in the sounds of the peeping coqui (tree frogs) by night and be soothed by the tropical Caribbean breezes by day. We look forward to welcoming you! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Gravel flooring in public areas - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 650 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66100000/66093000/66092941/1fcb330a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "Someday Soon" Has Arrived!

The beds and couches were cozy, the enclosed porch was perfect for additional space, and the AC worked perfectly.

Cottage was well appointed with everything we needed and the property management did a great job checking in with us to make sure all was going well. We had a great time in St John at Verde Cottage! We were aware of the stairs to the cottage and that it was located in a tropical setting and could be prone to attracting critters (geckos, spiders, bugs, etc.). We did everything we could (ran AC, put all food in refrigerator, took trash out daily) but we still had these friends join us in the cottage. It didn’t spoil our stay, but if these bother you this is something to be aware of. ##### Douglas H.

Nestled in the jungle, a ten minute drive to the nearest local watering hole, and only feet away from one of the Virgin Islands National Park trailhead, this is the place to stay! If you're looking for a place to sit back and relax and listen to tropical sounds, while you read, in a screened in porch... look no further! Water adventure minded? Only a 20 min. drive down well marked roads to the most beautiful beaches you will ever see. This place is a hidden gem! You will need to rent a car, but options might be limited, so definitely plan ahead. We stayed here four nights and loved everything about the Green Cottage! Our hostess was extremely helpful and made sure our stay was a positive experience; knowledgeable in all things local, provided informative and timely answers to all our queries. A private abode for the treasure seeker in the Caribbean! ##### Jemina J.

A moment in Nature with just the right creature comforts We had a lovely stay in St. John. The well appointed tree house had everything we needed. First the host was quite considerate and sharing all the information we would need to make the most of our stay. The house was quiet and really cool. Very eco friendly and glam put together. We loved the Myers and Trader Joe products after long days on the beach. The peppermint was refreshing. The beds were comfort and the kitchen had everything we needed. The pouch was a favorite as the views were so relaxing. This place is totally as advertised. Our son loved having his own space. It was just a good amount of space for a family of 3\. If you don’t get around well, I would not recommend. I was happy to get my steps in everyday getting to the car. Had to be a bit careful coming down from loft bedroom. Which was fine for us. This place is not for someone with mobility issues. The walk to and from the house was magical. With orchids strategically positioned on the trees along the way. The storage had everything we needed: Umbrella, chairs, snorkel gear and a cooler. All the ingredients for perfect beach days. I would come again. I recommend for a forest and beach vacation. After being on the beaches all day it was great to get away into the mountains. Everything was about 20 mins away which was fine to ensure we saw the whole island. ![Cruz bay 20 mins on July 4th](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f5af7059-ae38-44fb-9584-37c2676b7c56-1752053859527.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from loft bedroom ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ce6f0f02-8b10-48db-8f12-d99827cd4ba3-1752053844799.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Local beach 15 mins away](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/738ec714-42d4-45ed-9c70-8f9dd6a451b0-1752053860586.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The beach](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/125a923e-385b-4777-9163-05ddff80f166-1752053861056.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kimberly F.
