About this apartment rental
Pirate's Cove is a beautiful one bedroom apartment close to town. Newly remodeled, it offers a large, curtained-off bedroom with a new king bed, a NEW split unit A/C, a bright and airy kitchen and a cozy living room. Enjoy your own outdoor patio for eating or taking in the active view of the car ferry and bustling Cruz Bay. Grocery shopping (7 minute walk) and downtown Cruz Bay (15 minute walk) are minutes away. There is also a large parking area if you are renting a car. NEW split unit A/C to cool entire apartment! *******Recent review from another travel site:
We loved our stay at Pirate's Cove! Communication with Adrienne was fantastic - she provided some very helpful guidance both in the lead up to the trip, as well as during the stay itself. Both her and Chuck were friendly and approachable, and made sure any questions or issues were resolved. The apartment was absolutely spotless when we arrived, and felt very well looked after. The bed was comfortable, temperature and air flow of the apartment were excellent, and we loved waking up to views of the green hills of Cruz Bay. In terms of location, I would personally recommend staying just out of the downtown core - much less touristy, but still with great convenience to everything we needed. We did not rent a car, but had no trouble getting around (groceries were 7 minutes walking away, restaurant options close by, taxis to beaches were a 15 minute walk away). There is no doubt we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks for such a great time on St. John!!

This was a great find for our short excursion to St John. It was cozy, quiet, comfortable, and close to everything downtown. Chilling outside in the evening after running around all day was perfect. Adrienne was a lovely host, but the two cats in the yard were over the top in their hosting duties! We definitely will look to Pirates Cove on our next visit.

This was a great place to stay and checked all of the boxes for us: very clean, walking distance to town, many of the necessities and niceties, and the owners are very communicative. And the bottle of rum was very nice. Please read previous reviews about the roosters and need for ear plugs - you will need them. Also, the power did go out a couple of times including once for at least 12 hours. This is something that happens on the island and does require a bit of planning. I was mostly prepared with my headlamp, deck if cards, etc., but wish I would have brought my charging pad for our phones. Next time!
All and all, a great place to stay and if I return, I will stay here again.

Our stay in Pirates Cove was absolutely amazing. Everything was as it was stated in the description. Very close to town and the beaches were only a short drive away. Communication was amazing with the owners.

Pros: The flat parking area was very convenient. We appreciated the bottle of rum as well as the cooler and beach chairs available for use. The bed was comfortable and the host responded quickly when I messaged her. Cons: The hill that leads up to the property is massive. We are healthy 30 year olds and opted not to walk it. The A/C unit is not enough to cool the place. I don’t think it ever got below 75 degrees - we were sweating the entire time. This place is EXTREMELY noisy. The property owners left us ear plugs, but it wasn’t enough. You can hear every diesel truck, every rooster and every move the neighbors make. We didn’t get much sleep. Our first night we had a mouse in our bed. The entry door is not very insulated and has a large gap allowing small critters in. The second night, we woke up to a cockroach on the floor by the bed.It was very hot the days that we stayed there and I’m sure there was added noise because of Carnival going on, but I wouldn’t stay there again.
