About this property

Island Escape for Two, Class and Comfort

Perfect hideaway for two looking for a home away from home on the beautiful island of St. John.
Just a 5 minute drive to Coral Bay restaurants or 10 minutes to the World Class North Shore Beaches. The Turtle and the Seahorse cottage is a bright and airy studio, easy to find off Centerline Road...plus NO stairs, just a few steps from your car door to your front door!

Your private deck offers a view of the Bordeaux Mountains and stunnning Coral Bay. Full-sized appliances in a clean, well stocked kitchen, with all the essential utensils, make your vacation easy and comfortable. Relax in your comfortable and cool king size bed, or chill watching a movie on the Smart TV.
Beach chairs, towels, shade tent and umbrella, noodles, and cooler are available to guests. You do not need to rent a four-wheel drive vehicle to get to our cottage, our roads are paved....for other remote parts of the island it maybe neccessary. You can walk or enjoy a morning jog on the friendly neighborhood roads just outside the cottage.

Perfect for the two of us

We loved our stay here near Coral Bay. The view was incredible and the space was perfect for the two of us. It was the most convenient that the owners provided Beach chairs, towels, a cooler, and floaties for us to use at the beaches each day. The home was clean and we enjoyed using the tv in the evenings after exploring all day. Highly recommend!

A perfect stay

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here! Clean, comfortable, easily accessible and in a great neighborhood. The view from the porch was fantastic. We even got to watch a meteor shower laying out on the porch one evening. Dry functional kitchen that allowed us to easily make breakfast every morning before heading out for the day. We certainly recommend it and will return!

Another great stay on the island

Allison and Juan have a great, quiet place in Coral Bay. Great people, great view, etc etc. my wife and I have been coming to St John for many years. This little spot is perfect for a quiet, small rest in between days spent on the beach forgetting the rest of the world. We will be staying here again. Allison, thank you for your hospitality.

Dreamy escape that's perfect all around!

What a lovely, colorful, and perfectly located property for exploring the east end of St. John! We hung out at three amazing beaches during our stay: Maho, Francis Bay, and Hansen Bay. Close to restaurants and grocery store. The property has a wrap around deck with a gorgeous view of Coral Bay. It's nicely appointed with lots of amenities and small conveniences. Love this place!!

This cottage is charming, comfortable and nicely located for the Coral Bay area and going to Maho Bay and Francis Bay beaches. The kitchen is well equipped and is perfect for making breakfasts and lunches. The view from the deck (and the bed) is amazing. The roads to the cottage are fun to drive as long as you're comfortable with keeping left and amazing hairpin turns – You MUST have a rental car! We would most definitely stay there again if visiting St. John.

The Perfect Place

Alison sent information about the cottage as soon as we booked. It was nice having all the info up front. The cottage is beautiful in decor and the view looking down over Coral Bay is amazing. Alison stopped by shortly after we arrived to make sure we were all set. The cottage seemed to have everything you could possibly need. Especially appreciated the beach chairs and there were a few refreshments in the fridge. Would definitely stay here again.
