Amazing stay

We absolutely loved our stay at the garden of Eden cottage. The property is absolutely stunning and the location was perfect for us and exploring the coral bay side of the island. The cottage was bigger than I was expecting and had absolutely everything we needed for our time on St. John including beach chairs and a cooler. The balcony and pool were great way to start and end our days and made for a romantic and quiet vacation

“Island Time” safely relax & chill out

This was our 3rd vaca to st John in past 20 years. At retirement age, the quiet side, Coral bay suites us best. The cottage was great, clean safe, fully AC’d w/ TV’s & internet that worked, all just as stated in description. Host friendly, helpful & Available with beautiful 2 level Infinity pool we had to ourselves, loved the flowers, grounds & hope to return.

Wonderful Cottage off The Beaten Path

We stayed here in December for 6 nights with our pup Lucy. The property owner, Lorraine, made us feel right at home with a greeting at the driveway when we pulled up. She is a kind, genuine person who takes great pride in her beautiful, lush gardens that she has painstakingly planted and maintained over the years. Her caretaker, Bobby is also very kind and has the patience of a saint. We had a little “oops” with the driveway gate and Bobby took care of it without complaint and without making us feel badly about it. The plunge pool is so clean and refreshing after a hot day on the beach. We really enjoyed lounging here for a few hours a couple of the days we were there.The cottage is adorable with a very comfy bed and deck overlooking the beautiful bay. We walked to Skinny Legs one evening and we there is a little breakfast place right around the corner that is also just a 5 minute walk.Thank you Hannah, Lorraine and Bobby!

Do not rent the car offered through the VRBO

A terrible experience with the partner of Ms. Jones. In brief, as of today I have not receive my refundable deposit for the rental of the car. Ms. Jones works with May De Leon so you get the combo of rental property and car which seems very convenient when planning vacation. They do not tell you that you may be scam and they will keep your deposit alleging that the car has sand or that you were x short on gas. You signed a contract with many clauses, one of them is that upon returning the car you will get your money back but that did not happened to me. they asked you to pay via paypal for the car. When you arrive at the island, they left the car in a public parking lot with the key inside, no one is there to inspect the car with you. Then 2 days before returning the car 2 light warnings came out regarding the engine and the pressure in the tires. I sent a text to both women and May De Leon stated you can drive as long as the car does not get over heated. I am driving the car with my 9 year old son. I replied, I can returned or exchanged the car and there was no response. The day I left, I was asked again to leave the car in a public parking lot with the key inside. I filled out the tank ,clean the sand as much as I could because I do not have a portable vacuum cleaner. After 2 days of not getting my refund i got a text of this woman saying that they are keeping my money. Car business is not registered. Corroborated by local consumer affairs. Be aware.

Great secluded stay

We loved this property! The property manager was great with communicated the whole time. Especially helping us find the property which was on a side street with a really steep hill (VI driving is thrilling). The actual property has an amazing pool with a view and huge shower. Which was great for cooling off in the hot climate. Also, this place was out of the way - as in there wasn't much to do within walking distance and it is on the "quieter" side of the island. However, we loved that as we could enjoy the birds and frogs singing! It was a great relaxing place for a tropical getaway.

Wonderful and welcoming stay

My friend and I came to the USVI to work with our rescue partners at the Humane Society of St Thomas. I have stayed in many places in the past but this location is my favorite. Lorraine, Hannah, Bob and Kaimani (sweetest pup) are such lovely and gracious hosts❤️ The location is gorgeous and private but still close to wonderful beaches, trails, shops and restaurants. Definitely go visits the beautiful rescue donkeys at the Carolina Corral sanctuary right down the road!! I am an ocean fanatic but the salt water pool on the property is perfect for a quick dip when it’s hot also!! Highly recommend and will be back very soon!!

Amazing!

Relaxing stay away from it all! The cottage was spotless and well appointed (snorkels, beach towels, chairs, drink cups, coffeemaker and fridge). The AC in the bedroom was perfect and the king bed very comfortable. Drinking coffee on the balcony watching the donkeys, iguanas, and chickens made for a great morning. You can see Lime Out from the kitchen and walk to Rhumb Lines (Skinnylegs was temporarily closed). Lorraine was a wonderful host and made great beach recommendations. It’s a little trek over to Coral Bay but we’re so glad we stayed on this side of the island and at this place!

Great Rental In Coral Bay

My wife and I spent four nights at the Garden of Eden. We choose Coral Bay to be away from the masses on the other side of the island. The cottage is small, but clean, updated, and had everything we needed. The kitchen is small, but it worked fine for breakfast and a few dinners. Access to nearby restaurants is a 5-7 minute walk or a very short drive depending on the particular restaurant. Coral Bay is pretty, but is not the super crystal clear turquoise blue of other areas on the island and does not have a beach. That being said, the view from the deck is still very nice. We used the pool almost everyday for a short period of time. It has small pools with two infinity edges. It is very nice with lots of lounge chairs and a small end table for drinks. From the deck of the pool, there is a view of another bay in the distance. Although it was never cold when we used the pool, the sun was gone by about 5:00pm. (This is probably vary by the time of year) We enjoyed being away from the crowd of Cruz Bay. Access to the most popular beaches like Trunk Bay and Cinnamon Bay is easy and only about 20 minutes away. (Keep in mind driving on St John is slow. It can take 20 minutes to go 3 miles) Our cottage has a nice fan and A/C, which we rarely used. The breeze from open windows worked great to keep the place cool. If you want to get away from the crowds and stay in the beautiful Coral Bay area, I highly recommend checking this place out.

Perfect place to stay!

We stayed at Hannah and Lorraine's beautiful "Caribbean" house for almost a week with our teenage daughter. It was perfect for us! The house is lovingly decorated, clean and comfortable. It was our first visit to St John and we didn't have time to really plan anything. Lorraine really took care of us! She basically gave us suggestions every day regarding where to eat and which beaches to visit. We wanted to snorkel a lot and see a variety of beaches and undersea creatures -- Lorraine sent us to different beaches each day that were all close by, but all so different! She was like our own personal vacation planner! We found that we really prefer the Coral Bay side of the island over the Cruz Bay side, so we chose to stay near the house for all of our outings and meals out. Our daughter loved the pool at the house and the donkeys and goats that roam around. It was a wonderful introduction to St John! One thing I have to mention -- when we first arrived on St John and attempted to get our reserved Jeep, we found that the rental office was closed and no one was around. We texted Lorraine and she immediately helped us out. After traveling for so many hours, it was a relief to have her there looking after us. Thank you Lorraine!!

lovely, relaxing spot

Lorraine was terrific host- all questions and requests were answered right away. Adorable cottage with very comfortable bed. Donkeys, chickens and goats abound. Water pressure low but I assume that's the same all over. Coral Bay is the more natural, quieter side of St. John .25 min drive with hairpin turns . We drove to a different great beach every day. if you choose to go the Cruz Bay for more restaurants, etc. Starfish in Cruz bay is the market most like mainland US.

About the host

Hosted by Hannah Jones

**Hi, I’m Hannah!**. Originally from the lush island of Kauai, Hawaii, we moved to beautiful St. John 20 years ago to be closer to family. I've worked in hospitality for most of my life, spending 15 years managing and selling timeshares for the Westin St. John, which gave me a deep appreciation for this island and its incredible community.

Living in such a stunning place, I’ve fallen in love with our beautiful beaches, scenic hiking trails, and vibrant local dining spots that bring out the best flavors of the Caribbean. When I’m not exploring a new restaurant or taking in the scenery, I’m likely making sure every detail is perfect for my guests, so they can experience the magic of St. John as I have.

Creating a welcoming, peaceful space is my passion, and I love sharing local tips and hidden gems to make each guest’s stay unique and memorable. I’m here to help you feel right at home in paradise—whether you’re here for adventure or relaxation!

Our team consists of me, Hannah, who will guide you through the process of planning your stay and your arrival process, my mom Lorraine, who is on hand for your actual stay, giving great snorkel recommendations and addressing and resolving any issues that may arise, and Bob, my stepfather, and native St Johnian, who is filled with great stories of growing up on St. John and sharing a local perspective!

Why they chose this property

I chose this neighborhood on St. John because it offers the perfect blend of serenity and natural beauty. Tucked away in a peaceful area that’s closer to nature, our surroundings bring a sense of calm that feels worlds away from the bustle. Here, you’re just a short distance from the island’s most stunning beaches, yet surrounded by lush greenery that makes the property feel like a botanical garden.

What I love most is how the quiet neighborhood allows you to really immerse yourself in the landscape. From the gentle rustling of the trees to the vibrant colors of tropical plants, this area is a true escape for nature lovers. Guests will find that the tranquility here is refreshing, making it an ideal retreat for unwinding and reconnecting with the beauty of the Caribbean.

What makes this property unique

Our property stands out as a secluded tropical haven, offering guests a tranquil escape that feels like a private botanical garden. From the moment you arrive, you’re immersed in lush landscaping and vibrant Caribbean-inspired decor, which creates a distinctive blend of luxury and island charm.

One of the highlights is our **dual waterfall infinity pools**, set against a backdrop of tropical flora and designed for shared enjoyment while preserving a sense of privacy. Guests love unwinding here after a day of adventure, surrounded by natural beauty. Additionally, the cottage itself has a spacious deck with an ocean view, perfect for watching the sun dip below the horizon or stargazing at night.

Inside, we’ve combined comfort with style, creating a cozy and inviting space with island-inspired touches. Guests can enjoy the cooling breezes, and shaded afternoons, and even catch the moonrise from their deck. With a full concierge service and pre-arrival vacation planning offered by a Superhost, every detail of your stay is thoughtfully considered—making this more than a getaway, but a true Caribbean experience.
