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

Located on the QUIET side of the island. Lovely. Don’t necessarily stay here if you love Cruz Bay but we hate Cruz Bay so this was perfect for us. This is not a negative but the bed is slightly difficult to maneuver if you are old or have knee/back problems, etc. And ceiling so low over bed, there can’t be a ceiling fan. There is air conditioning but we never had to use it. The kitchen is reasonably sparse but adequate for basic cooking. Total peace and quiet and a fabulous view.

Loved the stay, and the views! The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. We will be back!

Very cool little property, with a great view! This is located in a very quiet part of the island, while you certainly are out there you can easily be clear back to Cruz Bay in 20 minutes. Definitely ideal for two people, and with the shower set up and glass bathroom door, you should be very comfortable with the other person, We found the hot water to be a little limited, it tended to run short at the end of a fairly brief shower, but not terrible it is 80 most days on the island. AC is limited to the bedroom. But on most days there is enough breeze there that we didn't care. Definitely not ideal if mobility is limited as there are several flights of stairs in the property. Several excellent restaurants within 5 minutes driving in Coral Bay, and there is an awesome boat charter, FlyAway, that is in Coral as well. All in all we would absolutely repeat if we are back this way again!!

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