Away from it all with a great view. Rental is a must and address a little hard to find. Kudos to some dude walking his dog who helped us out. Great owner and good communication. Look forward to going back. St John is the best.
We loved our stay at this property. It was accurately described in the listing and was very clean. There were five of us traveling together and everyone had space to spread out. I would stay here again.
Liked the fact that there were two separate apartments but could gather in the evening on the top deck and enjoy the views. My brother and his adult son stayed in one unit and my husband and I were in the other. The area was quiet and felt safe. It was easy to find with the directions given. I have been to St. John’s several times and the Fish Bay Area is my favorite area to stay.
We could feel the love that was put into this home. It had so much character. The views from the balcony were gorgeous, and the showers being partially outdoors was a new experience for us midwesterners! The water pressure would drop, but then the pump would kick in. The outdoor projector setup was tricky to set up, so we'd recommend step by step instructions. Some posted pictures may also need updating, like the hanging chairs and hammock. Only the kids could use the hammock since it was so low. Otherwise we appreciated the stocked kitchens and air conditioning! We also loved the bird feeders and the sweet bananaquits. We'll be back!
Great communication from Sallie, the on-island caretaker for this nice, classic Fish Bay cottage. Good views, new air conditioners, and plenty of room for four.
Fishers Perch is quiet with a wonderful view of the ocean and surrounding jungle. The way to the property takes you up steep, winding roads, which means it’s private and away from crowds.
The property has everything you need to have a wonderful vacation, and Sallie went above and beyond to communicate with us and answer all our questions- she’s a real gem! You’ll have a wonderful, relaxing time here!
Stayed here for a week with my Girlfriend and Mom. It was nice having 2 completely separate area's both with kitchens bed shower and bathroom. My mom has double knee replacement so the lower one with only 3 stairs was perfect for her!
The views were amazing!
Lots of amenities! They had a lot of beach gear. I loved the taller camp style chair as I cannot get out of a beach chair!
The Stars were probably our favorite part!
The charcoal grill was also nice we had burgers one night they had plenty of charcoal and lighter fluid.
Would highly recommend if looking for a quite serene Villa with easy access.
Beautiful place with magnificent view. Great base camp for all our daily adventures. Comfortable beds and large indoor and outdoor areas to gather. Many extras for the beach. We loved it.
It had most everything we needed. I has a great view, did the star gazing at night with the lights off. Would have liked an outdoor table to sit at to eat because we loved the view. We did sit at the chairs on the deck to eat anyway and used the outdoor coffee table. We did all of our cooking in the upstairs area. Cute place!
It was dirty, unsafe, and was misrepresented in the description of the property
When we arrived the first thing we noticed was the septic smell. It was overwhelming and never went away our.entire stay and aways got worse when we ran water- kitchen shower, flushed toilets and washing machine. Also, the air conditioners were old, inefficient and moldy and dirty, so were not usable. The outside stairs and decks were unsafe with loose and rotting board's, and the motion lights were not all working, which made them dangerous to use at night. The wooden lattice work in each shower was moldy, dirty with no shower curtain upstairs and a sharp metal drain. Due to the door's and windows having gaps and not closing properly, we were inundated with mosquitoes and no see- ums. The moldy outdoor canvas furniture was not usable and the inside couch and futon was not sufficient to sit on,since everytime we did we were covered with insert btes.
The downstairs fridge was rusty and dirty and we were not supplied with some fresh bottled water as advertised.
We contacted the property manager as the property letter said, and although she responded with acknowledgment, that was all we got.( not even a shower curtain for upstairs or lights that were out and needed bulbs or replacement, like the outside motion lights.
There were exposed wires hanging underneath the downstairs kitchen cabinet and from the porch ceiling and the fire extinguishers were under the kitchen sinks and one smoke detector was just laying on the table.
The property is clean with details and amenities to make it comfortable stay. We had a beautiful view and weren’t far from anything. A great experience and I would recommend this place to stay.
The two-level house worked out well for two couples, giving us plenty of private space with the ability to get together as a group. We shared the top deck for happy hour and sunsets, and cooked most meals downstairs with the nice stove/oven and large table for eating together. It is an older home that is still being renovated with some rustic features, but priced fairly for that reason. We appreciated the newer washer/dryer and AC in bedrooms as the house gets afternoon sun. The location is good with a quiet street and very private. We enjoyed our stay!
We enjoyed our stay at Fishers Perch very much and would definitely stay again!

About the host
Hosted by Sallie Griffith
Our father built this home for our family when we were small children. We've enjoyed coming here to vacation for all our lives! Now, we would like to share our love of this beautiful hillside cottage with you. We would love to have you as our guests at Fisher's Perch Fish Bay!
Why they chose this property
Built in 1987 as a labor of love by our father, this home is full of love, memories and most of all, island charm. Only 12 minutes from Cruz Bay and easy to get to on totally paved roads, but private and tucked away on the Fish Bay hillside.
What makes this property unique
Just far enough away from the hustle and bustle, easy to get to, yet tucked away as an amazing island retreat. You're new home away from home.
