About this property

Reef Bay Cottage - Expansive Water Views

A charming native stone cottage located on the south side of St. John, at the edge of Fish Bay with unobstructed views into the turquoise water of Reef Bay extending east to Rams Head with St. Croix to the south in the distance.

The cottage is perfect for honeymooners, couples or small families looking for a easy, romantic getaway. Second bedroom available on the lower level with separate outdoor access, not suitable for young children/guests needing supervision.

Just beyond the cottage, a few minutes by foot to the National Park trail that leads down to beautiful, sandy Reef Bay beach. Ideal for snorkeling when the seas are calm or surfing when the waves are up.

Whether you are traveling as couple or two, Reef Bay Cottage is a convenient drive into town or a few minutes more to many of the Virgin Islands National Park's north shore sandy beaches.

Main level of the cottage has dining room/area with the kitchen, living room, bedroom and private outdoor shower. The comfortable, traditional queen-sized mahogany, four poster bed is elevated. A spacious vanity/desk accented with a native stone wall located between the bedroom and bathroom with views on two sides. Enjoy getting ready with ocean views directly in front of you.

Bathroom has white marble counter top and mahogany cabinets. Separate door leads to the outdoor shower, private and fully tiled. Enjoy sun-filled showers or starry nights.

The living room is furnished with a very comfortable, fully upholstered sofa and arm chair. Enjoy movie nights on the flat screen television.

The kitchen has granite counter tops, mahogany cabinets and stainless steel appliances and gas grill is located outside on the leeward deck. Well furnished with cooking utensils.

The cottage is fully air-conditioned and stocked with beach towels, beach coolers, reading materials and a hat library for those who prefer to pack light.

Step out onto the windward deck to enjoy the sunrise ocean view or sunset reflecting off the whitecliffs while sounds of the waves reaches the sandy shoreline. During winter months, keep a look out for whale migration.

The second bedroom on the lower level is furnished with a queen-sized, hand-carved mahogany headboard from Tanzania, indoor bathroom and shower to one side and laundry room on the opposite end. This second bedroom is not intended for younger children/guests requiring supervision due to separate outdoor access.

The pool is located up the hill, on the grounds between the cottage and main house. Guests can enjoy the use of the pool, exclusive for cottage guests use during their stay.

Reef Bay is a sandy National Park beach. To access, walk just a couple of minutes, 100 yards +/-, to the trail head. Agility is necessary due to the uneven steps to the beach. Please note other sandy beaches are easily accessible along the North Shore, about a 20-minute drive from the cottage.

Owner/Manager reserves the right to refuse rental to any party at their complete discretion. This rental is located in a residential neighborhood, please respect noise level in the evenings.

Reef Bay Cottage enjoys hosting a rapid growing list of guests that continue their annual migration to St. John and find home once they arrive at Reef Bay Cottage.

Asked to leave on first day

After our experience at the property, with this host, I’d strongly advise against reserving Reef Bay Cottage. While the location is quiet and the views are nice, the details do not accurately describe this property. The host, while responsive to questions prior to check in, failed to mention that the pool pump wasn’t functioning and the pool hadn’t been cleaned in what appeared to be weeks. When I asked when the pool would be “swimmable” her immediate response was to ask me to work with VRBO to check out of the property as she didn’t want “unhappy guests.” As you can imagine, finding an available property, on an island, with same day availability, during Spring Break proved to be almost impossible and cost me double what I’d originally paid for this rental. Steer clear from Reef Bay Cottage and VRBO as they were less than helpful through this whole ordeal. Reserve a nice unit at Gallows Point and save yourself the headache.

Long awaited return to St. John

This cottage was perfect for my family of three. We took the main floor bedroom and our 18-year-old daughter had the lower level. Our host, Seng, was very helpful and has great attention to detail! She knows the area well and gave us advice and recommendations many times. We enjoyed our stay immensely!

What A Week!

Reef Bay Cottage is an exceptional property offered by an outstanding host, Seng.! The listing pictures almost do it justice! The cottage was very clean and well equipped. Offers sufficient space to gather (we had four total people) and the split level allowed us to spread out when needed. The pool was very refreshing and easily accessible. The neighborhood is very quiet and a pleasant 10-15 min drive to Cruz Bay or Coral Bay. Seng was an excellent resource for St John and St Thomas and provided many thoughtful treats. Thank you, Seng - hope to stay with you again soon!

Not for us

This is the lowest rating I have ever given a property but this was just not it for us. Starting with the positives: Cottage was cute and bed was comfortable. It was also clean when we arrived. The view out the back was really pretty. Most all of the houses on the street were really nice and it felt safe. It was very quiet and peaceful. Now the negatives: Last time we visited our villa owner greeted us at the rental car location and we followed them to the villa. It was getting dark and even with GPS the actual road you turn on is marked horrible. We had paddle boards delivered and the company warned us of how awful it was to find and gave us more details then Seng did which helped get us down the right road but then the house is also very hard to find in the dark so we had to call Seng. When we got in the house was 84 degrees! We texted Seng when we were on the Ferry and she could have easily turned on the AC and ran the fans to make our arrival more comfortable. She then asks you to turn the AC off (3 thermostats) every time you leave and when we didn't do that the first day she texted us to please turn it off making it feel like Big Brother which is not what you want on vacation. The front door was so messed up when we got there but we managed to get it shut and locked but one day we were going to be late to our charter so we texted her to ask her to lock it because it just wouldn't shut. She said why didn't you tell me this when it first happened. We told her on day 2 and we really just like to lay low and not complain and just enjoy vacation and thought we could deal with it and make it work but she made us feel like we broke the door which is very unprofessional. She had just told us that the clients before us were so hard on everything and blew up the microwave so my guess would have been it was them. We had our 16 year old daughter and her friend with us and the lower bedroom has no tv and very spotty internet so they were very bored in the evenings when we ended our day and that would be the biggest reason this place is not for us. And the view out the back is stunning BUT the pictures don't show how bad the electrical poles are running right through the view. That really takes away from the view. And the pool! We wouldn't step foot in the pool! Water is murky and there are 2 other houses around it and it doesn't feel private at all. Next time I will book in Cruz Bay. Reef Bay is just too far removed from everything.

Most amazingly, beautiful cottage and BEST host!

This was our first trip to St John and had no idea what we were doing when planning, I ran across this VRBO and the incredible amenities, views, and then the reviews were outstanding. I just had a good feeling this was the place we needed to stay. Seng the owner immediately reached out to me after I booked it and for the next few months helped me tremendously with tips and advice. She even sent a thoughtful package for my teenage girls to put in their stockings at Christmas as this trip was a surprise. Once we arrived she greeted us and showed us around. These pictures do not do this cottage justice. It is gorgeous, so clean, decorated so beach and fun! She also had thought of everything that you need when traveling so far from home. She even had fresh cut flowers scattered throughout! And the views!!!!! Words cannot describe the views. We sat on the patio every morning and evening. The pool is also so convenient over looking the ocean. I cannot say enough positive comments about our experience in St John and staying at the Reef Bay Cottage. We were all so sad to leave but know we will be back!!! The trip would not have been the same without Seng. She even saved our boat outing when our Jeep was dead and rushed over to help us get it jumped started. The most magical amazing week ever!!!

Mixed experience

Cottage is clean and kitchen well appointed. Walk down to the beach is nice and good access to the Reef Bay trail. I was disappointed by our hostess. Not welcoming on check in and when we had no water in the cottage, it took multiple texts and calls to get a response from Seng. Also the swimming pool area is not in good shape. The pool is dirty, the outdoor furniture in disrepair and pool deck not clean. Location is ok.

Beautiful water views from every window

This home was just we needed to enjoy our St. John stay. Seng communicated clearly and was so helpful every step of the way. The kitchen was well appointed for any meal we wanted to cook or grill outside, as well as a blender for our frozen cocktails! The beds were comfortable and the house was incredibly clean. It was hard to leave the patio, and it's view, each day to explore the island. There are a lot of steps to get up to the house, and also up to the pool . As noted in the description, the downstairs bedroom is completely separate from the upstairs, but can be accessed by exterior spiral stairs. Beach chairs, 2 coolers , pool noodles, and beach towels were provided, so we only needed to rent snorkel gear, to fully take part in all that St. John offers. The hike to the beach from the house is challenging, and not really a beach to lay out on. My husband enjoyed the challenge and hiked all around. There are an abundance of other beaches to explore. The island is very mountainous, so we were very glad we rented a jeep. We were sad to leave, and hope to come back soon!

Beauty & Tranquility

The cottage is perfect and the view is amazing. The owners thought of every detail and were quick to respond to questions during our stay. We recommend making dinner reservations very early because most restaurants were booked weeks in advance. We made some reservations but wanted more. Luckily, the cottage is stocked well and we had everything needed for cooking dinner after a long day on the water or at the beach. Location is about 15 min away from town and we found it to be very private, quiet and relaxing. The outdoor shower was a huge plus as well.

Outstanding host

I can't say enough good things about our stay!This was our first visit to St. John. I was traveling with my 2 teenage daughters and my older sister. The rental was perfect for our needs. The view is absolutely gorgeous and the place is spotless! A drive is required to get to most places, but that is required wherever you stay. The owners went out of their way many times during our stay. Michael even got a splinter out of my daughter's foot. It was deep and we had tried many times. Seng assured us that we could drive in the evenings. We were very nervous about that. She recommended places to explore, where to get the best drinks and eat. One thing that did not require a drive was exploring Reef Bay. We spent an entire day walking around. It was a beautiful walk from the villa. We spent all day snorkeling, walking the Sugar Mill trail and talking to a few locals. Stay here and you will not regret it!

LOVELY!!’

All the other reviews have said it as well but this lovely cottage/property is just perfect...from the views to the amenities and the comfy beds! The thick luxurious towels, fresh flowers and a gift bag with local rum and Cokes are the extra attention to details that set them apart as hosts. We had a perfect vacation. First time to St John and I was unsure about the location but it was just perfect...it’s a quiet neighborhood (all we heard were the crashing of the waves...yes please!!!) and yet it is a short drive to town. Seng and Michael are absolutely lovely, accommodating and had wonderful recommendations from where to eat, what local drinks to try and things to do. Thank you both for the rides, Painkillers, pottery class and gorgeous cottage...it’s all exceptional!

Perfect honeymoon getaway

We stayed in Reef Bay Cottage for the latter part of our honeymoon and wish we had stayed here the entire time. The cottage was exactly as described and came with everything that we needed for our daily excursions (coolers, beach chairs, beach towels, bug spray, etc.). We were able to get some groceries upon our arrival so that I could make breakfast and also pack lunch before we headed out for the day. I even grilled dinner a couple of nights on the gas grill. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the condiments and coffee, tea, sugar, etc. We enjoyed our coffee on the patio every morning overlooking the waves crashing on Reef Bay. We spent the late afternoons with cocktails at the pool which overlooks the ocean - a great way to wind down after our adventures. Seng was the most accommodating host as well and really gave the trip that extra touch that will make us return in the future. I would recommend having a rental car since it is a little off the beaten path - very secluded which is what we wanted on our honeymoon. It is only about a 10-15 minute drive into town for all the bars, restaurants, and shopping. One of the unique aspects of St. John is driving the winding hilly roads - absolutely amazing scenery and vistas throughout the island. Already looking forward to our next St. John trip!!!

Beautiful Retreat!!!!

The Cottage was even more beautiful than we expected! So many perfect details from the beautiful decor and french doors to the beach towels and chairs, kitchen stocked with coffee, tea, sugar, condiments, etc. We were welcomed with a beach bag filled with snacks and a bottle of rum. The cottage had fresh island flowers throughout. The view is amazing, the location is private and serene, yet a short drive to town. It was the perfect place for a much needed vacation. Seng was a wonderful host. We would definitely stay here again in a heart beat!

True Island Experience!

My husband and I had previously stayed at hotels/inns on the island, but decided we were comfortable enough to live like locals this time around. We could not have picked a more perfect oasis-- Reef Bay Cottage is close enough to get into town, but removed enough to enjoy the true tranquility that we love about St. John. Seng the owner was extremely easy to arrange with and was so welcoming the minute we arrived! She stressed how important it was to give her guests privacy but we also felt she was accessible for any questions--which we never had because she gave such a thorough introduction and recommendations! The cottage was perfect for us as a couple and had literally everything we could have needed-- even bug spray which at that time of year was necessary! We made use of the grill/lovely kitchen to make some at-home meals, cocktails on the terrace and visited the beach each evening for a dusk stroll. We still ventured out a few nights to Cruz Bay and found the usually crowded roads pretty empty in the evening hours to make for easier navigation of the tight--and sometimes harrowing--roads. We also loved that we could access our favorite trail, Reef Bay from walking the beach from the cottage with a few rock scrambles in between-it made for a much more interesting trek than in years' past! All in all, renting Reef Bay Cottage was the perfect first foray into our assimilation as more local than tourist, and Seng and her gorgeous property set a high standard. We will be back!

J-Coby W., Where do you live?

One of the most magical spots imaginable!

Seng and her property are total gems! Seng went above and beyond in responsiveness and exudes a true joy and helpfulness in hosting. From a thoughtfully-stocked, monogrammed gift tote bag to rides into town to shopping stops to stock up on groceries to impromptu tours of the North Shore beaches, Seng gave of herself generously and fully while we were there. And now let's talk about this amazing place: Every detail is impeccable in this home designed by Seng's in-demand architect husband - paint colors, stone and brick architectural details, bedding, thick and luxurious towels, a private outdoor shower where you are accompanied by hummingbirds and feel like you are in a botanical garden, the amazing pool and deck up over the cottage, the landscaping and night lighting of the grounds, gorgeous views of turquoise waters out of every window, every kitchen appliance and tool you would ever need, satellite TV for those who watch, great reference books about St. John, a "hat library", loads of great DVDs, fast Internet access up by the pool [probably the best office view in the world!], wonderful tradewinds, a convenient and quiet residential location just a 10-minute drive from Cruz Bay and a 10-minute walk down to the beach. Couldn't ask for anything more! We hope to return again and again.

Our best trip to St. John yet!!

We just got back from our week long family vacation in St. John. This was our third trip to St. John and without a doubt, the best. Seng and the Reef Bay Cottage are nothing short of spectacular. The views of Reef Bay are beautiful from the cottage terrace. The cottage is meticulously maintained and Seng is incredibly detailed. Thoughtfully picked colors line the walls of the cottage to give a true Caribbean flair to the ambiance of the property. Waking up in the bedroom to a vaulted ceiling and views of the ocean everyday was incredible. The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils required and the appliances are modern and well maintained. On our arrival, Seng was there to meet us and help us with every request. She provided our 5 year old with beach toys to use during our stay and noodles for the pool. Even though Seng is available, she is very courteous of guest privacy which gives the feeling of being the only ones on the property. The cottage is perfect for both couples and families.

Classy and Charming

Just returned from a week at heavenly Reef Bay Cottage. Seng, our hostess, was a pleasure to work with in setting up the rental, and was even more of a pleasure to meet. She is the on-site owner with her house and the pool for her guests' use situated privately from the cottage. Seng is readily available if you require her assistance, but otherwise affords her guests the utmost privacy. The cottage is attractively furnished in a simple but classy way, with a small but well-equipped kitchen, dining room, sitting room and lovely bedroom with blackout curtains, but who wants to sleep in while St. John awaits? We took full advantage of the terrace every morning to greet the day with our coffee, watching the surfers below. The road from Cruz Bay to RBC (10-15 minutes) is steep in spots, but well-maintained. We hope to return to this property again...soon! Thank you, Seng.

BEST rental house EVER!!!

There isn't enough space here to write how much we LOVED our stay at the Reef Bay Cottage. Seng was the nicest and most helpful person the entire week we were there!!!! She went out of her way to help us when we needed it & we couldnt have been more grateful. The house was GORGEOUS!!!! It was exactly what we expected after seeing the pictures, if not better. Even though their house is on the same property we didnt even know it. Our house was secluded and private and we LOVED the view!! The house was extremely clean and had all the ammenities we needed for our week stay. We had to go up to the pool to get internet reception but that wasnt a problem at all. We found ourselves drinking our morning coffee at the pool, taking a early morning swim and catching up on any "internet" things we needed. It worked out perfectly!!! I would recommend this rental property to anyone. We will definitely be returning to St John and will be staying at the lovely Reef Bay Cottage :) Thanks for everything Seng!!!! -Kim & Jim Schoff :)
