About this property

Perfect Cottage for Honeymoons or Couples' Trips! Amazing Pool & Stunning Views

Situated on the quiet and serene East End of St. John, Milk Moon Cottage is a private oasis overlooking the British Virgin Islands. The cottage features striking views, convenience to East End beaches, and plenty of amenities to make guests feel right at home.

*** KEY FEATURES ***
- Two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with air-conditioning throughout
- Outdoor shower
- Fully equipped kitchen
- Completely private pool with stunning views
- Patio with sweeping views of the British Virgin Islands and Sir Drake Channel
- WiFi
- Beach chairs, beach cooler with ice packs, & beach towels all provided
- Covered outdoor patio with ceiling fans, BBQ and dining area

Milk Moon boasts a well-equipped kitchen, suitable for making meals during a relaxing evening in. The living area offers air conditioning, a large couch with views, a large screen 4K TV, and a desk.

The full bath connected to the living room area is newly updated.

Perfectly suited for couple’s getaway or two couples traveling together, the cottage offers one bedroom on the main level of the house, and an additional bedroom on the lower level by the pool.

The primary bedroom on the main level of the house features a King-sized bed, air conditioning, dresser, and closet.

The second bedroom, which is accessible via exterior steps, offers a Queen-sized bed, closet, and air conditioning. A second full bathroom with outdoor shower serves the lower-level bedroom and pool deck.

At Milk Moon, the furnished decks and front covered porch are the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning as the sun rises or a cocktail as the sun begins to set. The outdoor propane grill is perfect for the dine-in nights on the front or back porches.

The large, completely private pool with scenic views is a wonderful spot to soak up the sun or take a refreshing dip after exploring the nearby beaches.

Milk Moon Cottage also provides guests with a variety of beach gear, including beach chairs, a beach umbrella, beach towels, and cooler with ice packs. We recommend renting snorkel gear and fins from either Beach Bum in Cruz Bay or Crabby's Watersports in Coral Bay.

The location of the cottage promises complete tranquility. Both Hansen & Haulover Bays are five minutes away, offering amazing snorkeling and plenty of beach lounging space.

A 15-minute drive along the water leads you to the town of Coral Bay. Various restaurants (many with live music), a grocery store, mini mart, and shops are all located within quaint Coral Bay. The beaches of the North Shore (including the notable Maho Bay, Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay and more secluded Francis Bay) are 25 minutes away.

Please note that we have three NEST cameras in the driveway/parking area. These cameras record movement in the driveway and front gate, do not record sound and do not interfere with our guest’s privacy.

Most relaxing visit

This was our 5th trip to STJ and it was our 4th time staying on the east side of the island. This East End location was by far the most isolated (in the best way) and tranquil stay so far. We were familiar with the East End area as Hansen Beach is our favorite island beach and this villa is a mere 5 minutes to this and also Haulover bays. The drive up to the villa was also easy compared to those villas in Coral Bay that are up the hill.The house was very well set up and very well appointed, especially in the kitchen when other hosts fall short. The views out to BVI were amazing and the amount of boat traffic can keep one entertained for hours. The pool was very warm, not sure if it was heated, but the fact that it was saltwater was a bonus.This was a terrific experience and I recommend this villa to anyone looking for a nice quiet stay and who don't mind the extra little drive out of Coral Bay for peace and quiet.

Slice of paradise

Such a beautiful place! Super clean, incredible views (best open-air shower view ever), very comfortable, all the amenities. It was actually hard for us to get ourselves to leave to go to all the amazing beaches around. Bonus was having access to two beaches that only houses in the area have access to. Would absolutely go back without hesitation.

New Years on St. John

Our family (mom, dad, Kathryn-14, Asher-12) stayed at Milk Moon cottage on St. John January 1-5. It could not have been better. We loved the secluded east end. The cottage was clean and had all the comforts of home plus what must be the greatest view n the Caribbean! There was ample space for the four of us. The weather was perfect! Thanks!

We had the most lovely time staying at Milk Moon over Christmas. It’s perfectly situated with the most amazing view of the Caribbean and the BVI. It was so clean, well equipped for beach and cooking needs, and we had a magnificent time!

45th anniversary

I wanted something special to surprise my wife for our 45th anniversary and the Milk Moon did not disappoint us with its surroundings and location. It’s well furnished and cared for and was the perfect size. It is also located on the quiet side of the island which allowed us to just relax, have breakfast while watching the sunrise or a quiet dinner for two. Everyone should go to the Milk Moon at least once in their life.

Beautiful House in a Great Location

The house is overlooking Privateer Bay. The sunrises are stunning! The house is a bit of a drive from Cruz Bay to get there, but it is well worth it! The house had a ton of amenities. Overall it was a great place. We would love to go back!

Perfect Anniversary Getaway

This location was on the very quite East side of the island. It was a perfect location for a getaway enjoying the view. The east winds are stronger on this side of the island but made for a nice breeze with the doors open.

Great stay super remote!!

If you are looking for a great 1 bedroom house that is way off the beaten path then you have found it! We just stayed 8 days in Milk Moon and loved every second of it. Waking up to no one around was a huge plus! Cruz bay is about 40-45 minutes away so plan your days well. Loved Milk Moon!

Great little cottage

It was just me and the wife on this trip and we wanted to try out the East End. This villa totally met our expectations. The East End is WAY out there, but you're in St John, so you're not in a hurry. There's a house up the hill that you share a drive with, but this is a very quiet location. Other reviews said it was breezy... it happened to be a bit windier than typical on the island during our stay, and "breezy" would be an understatement. We only ran the A/C at night in the bedroom; didn't need it at all in the living area. At the pool level, it's a bit more sheltered from the wind. One bonus: no mosquitos! The kitchen is small, but we knew that from the photos. It had everything we needed. Our interaction with management was minimal - good communication before the trip; we wanted for nothing while we were there so we were left alone. You can't ask for more than that! The view is great. Gorgeous sunrises! I would definitely come back.

Best anniversary ever

Remote, peaceful, relaxing, great nearby snorkeling, loved the goats and their kids. Emily is the best host ever going above and beyond to get us there when the Jeep rental looked doubtful and the sun was setting on Cruz Bay.

Views, Mountains & Beaches!

Milk Moon Cottage was the perfect place for our anniversary get away! The views from the cottage are breathtaking and it was very well appointed with multiple outdoor areas landscaped & hardscaped. We spent most of our days out at local beaches and then grilling dinner later but the pool was a great feature on the day we did more hiking than beaching and needed to cool off after! Emily was a fantastic host- we ended up having to push our arrival a day later due to a tropical storm (ferry service was closed down) and she reached out to give us that info and updates as the governor released them. Also her driving directions were perfect- once you find the house the first time, the roads start to get more familiar. 2 things to note- you are at a high elevation and the wind is strong!! You’ll need to tie your hair back and secure napkins, etc to eat outside on the deck but the views are worth it. The couch is an outdoor piece of furniture so it wasn’t the most comfortable to lounge on at night, but with the pool on site we understood why they went this route. The bed was very comfortable and plenty of storage in the dressers & closet to unpack and make yourself at home! You may even hear & see some goats in the garden from time to time :) Absolutely a must-stay and everyone we met, local & tourist, was so friendly!
