About this cottage rental
Our secluded cottage has amazing, panoramic views of the British Virgin Islands and the East end of St John, near beautiful Coral Bay, St. John, USVI. Perched above Johns Folly Bay, the wrap-around decks on the top floor provide space for outdoor dining and lounging, all with unbeatable views! The gentle trade winds make the private decks a perfect place to relax, day or night, and watch the amazing sun and moon rises. The star gazing is fantastic.
Large picture windows provide unobstructed views. Screened louvers are cleverly placed below the windows, so the comfortable breeze can naturally cool the cottage without obscuring your view.
The kitchen has a stovetop, oven, full-sized refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and all the supplies you’ll need to feel at home. Also upstairs is a dining area, a half-bath, a couch and smart TV. FAST Starlink internet/wi-fi throughout the cottage.
On the lower level is the air-conditioned bedroom with an ensuite bath and a shower big enough for two – with a view! There’s also a covered deck off the bedroom, and a third, lower deck perfect for sunbathing or lounging in privacy. Both lower levels are accessed with exterior stairs, typical in most Carribean homes.
Sugar Bird Cottage is a tranquil escape perfect for relaxing on the quiet side of St. John. Yet it’s only minutes from Miss Lucy’s restaurant, Pizzabar in Paradise, and Calabash Market. 10 minutes to Coral Bay’s restaurants, bars, shops, and equipment rentals. The cottage is less than 1 mile to one of the best beaches on the island, Salt Pond Beach, and the scenic Ram Head trail. A few minutes further brings you into the National Park with more beaches and hikes to explore – the most secluded on the island.
The cottage is located near the end of a quiet, private, paved road. No traffic noise or bumpy, steep, rocky roads that require 4-wheel drive. Sugar Bird is a peaceful getaway – surrounded by nature, the sound of the ocean below, and expansive views of the Caribbean Sea dotted with islands.
Please note that there are a few flights of steps down to the cottage and decks, so mobility is required.
Need two more rooms to accommodate a larger group? We also own a 2 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath cottage next door. Both are very private, but close enough to walk between the two. See photos for an aerial view of both properties. The VRBO link is: https://www.vrbo.com/2578721

We had a wonderful stay at Sugar Bird. The property was close to the ocean with amazing views, a cooling sea breeze and the lovely sound of waves crashing. It was very relaxing. The outdoor shower was delightful and the privacy of the home made us feel that we were the only ones in the area. The host and property manager were both very responsive and helpful to answer questions and help out. The unit was a perfect size- for the most part we lived on the outside decks. The bedroom and living area are on 2 different levels with outdoor stair case. Getting in and out of the bed is a little bit of a challenge but the bed is very comfortable and the view is relaxing. There are multiple flights of stairs from the parking area down to the cottage. It is a perfect piece of paradise.

The view was spectacular, sunrises were amazing, it was extremely private, and so quiet! The rental included everything we needed...for cooking, relaxing and going to the beach! It was so nice to have a grille. We cooked our meals on the grille every evening. The outdoor shower was so nice for cleaning off the sand when getting back from the beach. The only thing that could potentially be an issue for some renters is that the wifi/cell coverage was spotty at best...which did not bother us at all, since we were there to get away from the busyness of life. We would absolutely recommend Sugarbird cottage to anyone looking for a great place to stay when vacationing at St. John!

Nice property. Definitely checked off a bucket list item. Next time might stay closer to Cruz Bay.
