About this property

This Caribbean cabana, also affectionately known as the Christmas Cottage, offers the intrepid traveler an unforgettable St. John experience. Nestled comfortably on the valley floor of Coral Bay village in a quiet residential neighborhood, the cabana presents rustic simplicity, with irresistible Caribbean charm. The Cabana was a 'honeymoon' cottage to the owners while they constructed the main house on the property. Cozy yet airy, the cabana makes available all the outdoor living experience of camping with the convenience of electricity, refrigeration and laundry facilities. Situated on level ground makes for easy access and parking. Local grocery store, mail service, and restaurants, including local landmark, Skinny Legs and Johnny Lime and Indigo Grill. Enjoy plenty of nightly entertainment a simple 5 minute walk. Yoga classes convene several times a week a short walk from the house. Catch the VITRAN to world-class beaches for the day, or hike the many trails on the eastern end of St. John. Head to the bustling town of Cruz Bay via the VITRAN for a dollar. Bars and restaurants, quaint boutiques and island ferry opportunities are all conveniently located to the cabana.

Serenity in Coral Bay

Island Gardens is a clean, simple house in a quiet location with a wonderful view. Close to Coral Bay. Close to Beaches and Snorkeling. We really enjoyed just getting away from it all and observing the nature around us. Marcia is a wonderful hostess who is an excellent communicator & will advise of local points of interest.

nice Coral Bay property

Let me start off with the review, by saying our review will not be totally accurate to this exact property, as just a couple days before our arrival, Marcia contacted us to inform us that she had a family member in for a visit and that he'll be staying at this property and that she would be moving us to a larger cottage that she also owned next door, for no additional charge. (As is the reason for the 3 star rating on accuracy, since this particular review doesn't truly pertain to the property listed). Marcia owns several cottages all right next to one another, so I make the presumption that they're all similarly maintained and run. As most properties in the Coral Bay area, one has to realize, these all tend to be a bit "rustic", as you're out in the boondocks in this area, and that there are always water and septic use restrictions that one must be aware of out on the east end of St.John. Not the place for a person looking for luxury accommodations, unlimited, long hot showers, or one who likes to use a large amount of water. But for one who likes to rough it a bit and enjoy the quiet side of St.John, it's a nice place to stay. Not absolutely necessary, but if renting a vehicle, you may want to consider a 4X4 if staying here, the road in, once you turn off the main Centerline Rd (Rt. 10), the going can be a little rough and may be challenging for a standard vehicle, as is the case with most properties in the Coral Bay area.

Anniversary getaway

The stay was great! Marcia was wonderful! This cute little cottage was what we needed to relax, unplug and recharge. The composting toilet was not as bad as I had envisioned. The lizards and humming birds became a welcoming sight every morning. Truly a wonderful experience!
