Zur Gegend

St. John

Dieses Ferienhaus in St. John liegt in den Bergen und am Meer. Tortola Cruise Ship Port ist einen Ausflug wert, wenn du etwas unternehmen möchtest. Wer lieber die Natur bewundern möchte, sollte Folgendes besuchen: Virgin Islands Nationalpark und Trunk Bay. Beim Kajakfahren und beim Tauchen kannst du die umliegende Wasserwelt erkunden oder aber du stürzt dich beim Wandern und bei einer Öko-Tour ganz in der Nähe in ein Abenteuer mit festem Boden unter den Füßen.

Magical Location on a magical island

Calabash Cottage provides a total immersion in to St John, and it is magical. Perched high on the hill overlooking Coral bay and the lights of Tortola BVI you are surrounded by nature. This is not resort living, but, if that is what you want you probably won't get to know St John. If, however, you want a romantic, isolated experience that is comfortable as well as adventurous you cannot go wrong here. Yes you will need a Jeep, but, you will need a Jeep to explore St John so take advantage of Susan's relationship with Courtesy Rental. Susan's team will help you along the way to make everything easy. Sandra met us at the Ferry in Cruz Bay, helped us with the rental car and then led us on a tour of ST John on the way to Calabash. She was wonderful. St John is so small and intimate that we kept seeing Sandra through out our stay and getting advise from her each time. Coral Bay is a small sailing, water oriented community and everyone we met was friendly and helpful. The restaurants in Coral bay are all Good! For a fun experience visit Miss Lucy's on the way to Salt Pond and by the way go to Salt Pond and gather your own Salt. Great fun. Finally for a truly great experience buy a fish from the fisherman on the side of the road in Coral Bay (yellow tail snapper was our favorite), A bottle of wine from Love City and grill you fish on the Barbie at the cottage. If you go you will never forget your experience. Thank You Susan for sharing you island retreat.

Privacy, wonderful setting...living like kings

The house is beautiful and wonderfully furnished. We especially loved the wildlife, the incredible amount of privacy (outside showers were the norm), and the hot tub while watching the stars. The owner's management (and owner) were professional and offered great advice. Driving the road was uncomfortable at the beginning (need 4wd), but when I remembered that the road was a big reason we had so much privacy, I was okay with the trip. We stayed at the home more than we did when we had a townhouse in Cruz Bay seven years ago because this wasn't just a place to sleep. Make sure to grocery shop in Cruz Bay before arriving; the full freezer and fridge can handle it. Full grill available. Almost no bugs when we stayed in late Feb. and early March. This side of the island is less crowded, has less crowded beaches, interesting hikes, more wildlife, and a few decent places to eat. Get to BBB for breakfast! Overall, this was a dream vacation, and I was glad I wasn't stuck in a resort sharing walls with anyone. I don't know how the house is like if someone is in the small cottage that is on the same property - seems like there would be less privacy, but I don't know. It's a very cute cottage - more of a place to sleep. Perhaps the house for the parents and the cottage for a private place for a friend/child? Overall, we won't ever forget this experience.

Hot, uncomfortable honeymoon, left early.

Despite the picturesque setting, this villa was a romance killer in the heat of early June. There were no trade winds, just sticky, still heat. Just a little bit of air conditioning could have changed everything. It was a very long ride from the airport with many winding roads. The villa is just as small as it looks and the kitchen is too small to cook in and there is only a dorm fridge and stovetop, no oven. Also no washer/dryer. In the bathroom, there was only antibacterial soap, no shower gel, shampoo or conditioner. I would not consider this villa well appointed as it is missing quite a few comforts of home. There was a power outage which killed the only source of breeze, the fan and also no water. My husband and I spent each day getting out as early as we could and taking in the many beautiful beaches the island offered. We stayed out as long as we could because we did not want to go back to the hot villa. It was hard to sleep, we were hot and sticky and this did not make for a very romantic setting. Many of the beaches offer no amenities whatsoever, you must pack an ice chest with food and drinks and bring chairs (which were provided with villa). If a relaxing vacation with food and drinks on the beach is what you have in mind, this really is not the place to go. I realize that the trade-off for having no development on the beaches is the natural scenery, but we went to Grand Cayman later in the summer with our family and that is the kind of island vacation we like...air conditioners, full kitchens in the condo which is on the beach footsteps away from the water and cold drinks abound. We ended up leaving a day early because that was the soonest we could get out with making a flight change. We have no interest in going back to St. John. The owner did offer us use of the larger home nextdoor with a full kitchen, etc. but we did not find it to be any cooler over there. She also was able to give us a partial refund for the unused time of the rental car, but nothing on the villa.

Caribbean Dream Cottage

For the first time ever, my husband and I decided to vacation in the same place 2 years in a row:Windward Side Cottage in St John. We had such a fairytale perfect time there last year, we knew any other place would probably disappoint in comparison. And Windward Side cottage was every bit as clean, romantic, well-appointed, fun, and comfortable as last year. Susan and her staff think of everything and see to every detail. To wake every morning and see the sunrise and gorgeous view right from your bed, to spend the day face-down in the beautiful calm clear waters of Salt Pond Bay and other great snorkeling beaches around Coral Bay, to spend time chatting with total strangers on this friendly island, to be surprised by baby donkeys and goats around every twisty turn of the road, and to get to love the hair-raising drive up the mountain...all make us miss this beautiful place.

Wonderful Vacation!!

Our experience with the Calabash Cottage staff could not have been better, they took care of every detail! We had a wonderful trip and plan to return some day soon. We will most definitely do business with this rental company again. Thanks for everything!

Great honeymoon stay!

Perfect place for a 2 person getaway! All the staff made planning and everything on travel days go really smooth and stress free--arranging taxis, rental cars, and generally having good advice. The house itself was great, very small but has everything you need. The views from the cottage are amazing. The hot tub was great, we used it every night! The drive up from the main road to the cottage is pretty intimidating, but went well after the first time. Close to quite a few good restaurants on that side of the island. If you cook, make sure to clean the dishes right away and get up any crumbs, as the ants will find their way in quickly (but if you clean well won't be a problem). Also loved the outdoor shower!

Paradise!!!!

The cottage was absolutely a paradise. It was tiny but clean and maintained down to the smallest detail. Breakfasts on the balcony with the stunning view will we never forget. We have never been so welcomed and taken cared off. The whole arrangement with taxis, pickup and car rental was excellent. We will be back!!! Thanks for everything!!!

Great surprise birthday gift!

This cottage was all we expected from the exciting pictures on the web. It did not disappoint. The view was even better than expected. Everything was clean and well organized, with many extras helpfully available. The location on the quiet side of the island a dream, with excellent restaurants nearby. The transportation from the St. Thomas airport to the St. John ferry and back, the car rental, a leisurely stop at the one big supermarket, and the taking us to the cottage upon arrival were all arranged for us as promised. The greeter was terrific! She guided us through all this with patience and many suggestions and information that proved very helpful later. The car rental agency that was arranged was also helpful, letting us park there when visiting Cruz Bay and even taking us back to the ferry at the end when he saw how much luggage we had. Four wheel drive is necessary to get to the cottage (Mr. Toad's wild ride up the mountain on dirt roads), but the view and quiet are well worth it (just toads at night, roosters in the morning, and stars overhead.) And four wheel drive (the island is awash in Jeeps) is necessary to get to the great isolated beach at Little Lameshur Bay for swimming and snorkeling. They promised a 5 star vacation, and it was! Thanks to all.

Take me back there, right now.

We had such a glorious time. The cottage is tiny but wonderful -- clean, airy, bright. There's no A/C because it's designed with windows on all sides and a ceiling fan to help the cross-breezes along. We were comfortable in mid-May. It felt like much more of a real island experience than staying in a resort. I was nervous about privacy because this cottage is attached to a larger house. They told us the plantings would provide privacy, and they really, really do. The entire place is cloaked by beautiful tropical plantings, with the exception of the view straight out to the ocean. The only time you'd see other people is on the path to the shared parking lot, which crosses directly in front of the cottage by the double screen doors right in front of the bedroom. There are curtains you can pull in front of the doors, though. The garden shower is very private. The wall around it is probably 7 feet tall, with vines and plants coming down the walls. It was awesome. The views pictured on this website are not exaggerated, btw. I was pretty sure the photos were prettified in some way, but the view is exactly as pictured, and I have a bunch of photos on my camera to prove it. Basically, that's what you see when you're sitting up in bed. They're not exaggerating about the road, either. The first time we drove up it, we were both white-knuckled. By the end of the week, we were rocking and rolling down that road like old pros. It was great. A little tutorial from the car-rental agency didn't hurt, either. We used the grill, but we never got around to using the hot tub -- we'd rather have spent our time on the beach. The WiFi was not quite strong enough to stream Netflix, but there is a small TV with a DVD player, so I'd bring DVDs if you want to watch movies at night. We liked Coral Bay way better than Cruz Bay, the more populous town on the other end of the island. There are far fewer people and more donkeys/chickens in the road, which was amusing, and just as many great beaches. We went over to the west end to visit, but we always ended up preferring Coral Bay. Word of warning: If you're going to the islands in May or later, be sure to bring plenty of DEET, because the mosquitoes will be out in force, including in the garden shower. As one local told us, "Better spray than dengue."

WOW

I'm happy to report that your cottage has a magical quality. What an amazing, relaxing (albeit daily snorkeling, hikes and further adventures) lovely way to visit St. John. Windward Guest Cottage quickly became my new favorite place to stay! The pictures on the Homeaway website showed a tropical paradise but what we found here was so much more. Thank you for the wonderful amenities. The house was well equipped for a comfortable stay. And anyone reading this has already been stunned by this view! No words... We will definitely come back!

Magnificent!

This was our first visit to St John and now that we’re in love with the island we can’t imagine staying anywhere other than the Windwardside Guest Cottage - except perhaps another Calabash Cottages property. We just can’t gush enough about this sweet little bungalow. Its setting is spectacular; the view will knock your socks off! A teeny note of caution for those less adventurous, the last mile approaching the cottage is slightly intimidating (steep, quite a drop down [thus the fabulous view!] and mostly not paved/bumpy). However, don’t let that sway you – you get used to it by your 2nd or 3rd try and it’s worth it. The cottage was perfectly appointed for two. Everything you’ll need for your stay is there. The little galley kitchen will surprise you by how well equipped it is, between it and the grill we were very set to have most of our dinners in, and we’re not talking PB&J here. The cottage was spotless and extremely well cared, particularly given how rough an island environment can be on metal, wood, etc. It appears as if it is tended to regularly. The level of service from this team was top-notch. Margaret & Diane answered all of our pre-arrival questions & provided great tips for our stay. Beth (aka Yoga Beth) met us at the ferry dock & generously spent about 2 hrs with us. In addition to what was promised (ferry pick-up, rental car retrieval, grocery stop in the big city, follow-me to the cottage), Beth took us to the National Park Visitor Center so we could pick up our tickets for a hike the next morning. She also provided us some wonderful “local’ tips on beaches for snorkeling and restaurants not to miss. Beth never once made us feel rushed; she really introduced us to the concept of island time. Oh almost forgot Warren from Dynamic tours, the car service from the airport to the ferry in St Thomas which was recommended & we highly suggest using it. It made our arrival & departure so smooth. Warren was warmly welcoming & completely reliable, there for us at the airport despite that our flight was over an hour late & then he called at the end of the week to find out which ferry we were taking from St John so that he’d be waiting our arrival. Lastly, Susan (the owner?) called us the last night to be sure our stay had gone well. Really, this is stellar service that is rare to find these days. Thank you Calabash Cottage team. …..and for prospective future guests reading this: don’t hesitate, this place is a gem!

Wonderful Romantic Getaway - Picturesque, Private and Beautiful

Surround yourself with the natural beauty of Coral Harbor water and the lush green mountainside into which this lovely cottage has been built. We stayed for a week in this romantic getaway. We took multiple pictures from the four-poster bed of the water below, just to show how beautiful this setting was. The view from this cottage is outstanding, and as the ad says, we watched many sailboats entering and exiting Coral Harbor. We also watched a little hummingbird come back time after time drinking from the beautiful flowers growing just below the deck. Whether you're showering, enjoying champagne in the hot tub, or eating dinner on the deck, you have the same view of the hillside and the harbor below. If you're looking for a romantic getaway, away from the hustle and bustle of the crowed hotels and city streets, this quaint tropical cottage is definitely the place.

THE PERFECT SECLUDED GET AWAY - BEST ISLAND VIEWS POSSIBLE

MY WIFE AND I HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL CARIBBEAN TRIPS AND THIS WAS OUR ABSOLUTE BEST. ALL THAT THE OTHER REVIEWS SAY RE THE TRIP ARRANGEMENTS SUCH AS PLANE CONNECTIONS, JEEP RENTALS AND STAFF ATTENTIVENESS ARE VERY TRUE. THIS COTTAGE IS VERY SECLUDED, PERFECTLY SIZED AND FEATURED TO MAKE YOUR STAY THE BEST IT COULD EVER BE. ESPECIALLY THE HOT TUB - SO VERY PRIVATE AND TO LOOK UP AT THE STARS WHILE LAYING THERE WITH A DRINK IN HAND IS JUST THE BEST EXPERIENCE ONE COULD WISH FOR - GENTLE BREEZES KEEP YOU COOL AND COMFY WHILE SLEEPING AT NIGHT AND THEN TO WAKE UP TO THE ISLAND VIEW - OH MY !!! THE SNORKELING IS TO DIE FOR - VERY MANY LOCATIONS WITH OVERFLOWING OCEANLIFE FROM RAYS TO TURTLES TO BARRACUDA ( NOT A CONCERN ) TO STARFISH TO OCTOPUS TO SHARK - MORE THAN ONE COULD HOPE FOR. WE HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL TIME WE SO HATED TO LEAVE - WE WILL BE BACK AND STAY LONGER EVEN THAN WE DID THE FIRST TIME. WE CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD RE ALL THE FEATURES OF THE COTTAGE, THE STAFF, THE FOOD ON TH ISLAND, THE SNORKELING AND THE FRIENDLY FOLK ON THE ISLAND. PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT PASS UP THE CHANCE TO SEE ALL THAT THE COTTAGE AND THE ISLAND OF ST JOHNS - US VI - HAS TO OFFER - YOU WON'T REGRET COMING TO SEE THIS ISLAND PARADISE WHICH BYW IS VERY EASY TO GET TO BUT OH SO HARD TO LEAVE !!!

The Windwardside Guest Cottage is Wonderful!

We just returned from a wonderful week long stay at the Windwardside Guest Cottage (Feburary 24-March 3, 2013). The cottage is even nicer then the pictures on the web site! The view from the porch looking down on Coral Bay is incredible. Diane and Susan were both terrific to communicate with prior to our arrival and made sure we had all the information we needed. Diane is just a local phone call away if you need any information during your stay. The cottage is very clean and well maintained and fully stocked even down to beach towels and snorkeling gear. I was pleased to learn that some of the electrical energy comes from five solar panels mounted on top of the porch – very Green! You will need a four wheel drive Jeep to get to the cottage and Diane took care of arranging that for us as well when we made our cottage reservation. Bruce met us in Coral Bay and made sure we got to the cottage as the first time up the road is a bit tricky. Bruce also answered our questions about the cottage and offered his insights on good snorkeling spots. The WIFI worked great in the cottage and so we streamed NetFlix movies on our Kindle at night. Pack your swimming suit, tee shirt, shorts, sun glasses and sun screen and head over to Waterlemon Cay, Haulover Bay, Salt Pond or Hansen’s Beach for some great snorkeling and Miss Lucy’s or The Shipwreck for fun dinners. Don't forget to have at least one lunch at Skinny Legs! Sure hope we can stay at the Windwardside Guest Cottage again in the future! Special thanks to Diane for her great communications!

Best little cottage on the Island

Our trip to Calabash Cottages couldn’t have been better from start to finish. Prior to departure, Susan and Diane made sure that all of our travel arrangements were coordinated. They arranged for a private driver to pick us up at the St Thomas airport to drive us to the Red Hook ferry dock and for a second driver, or greeter, to meet us at the Cruz Bay, St John ferry dock. And, when I phoned Diane at 7am on the morning of our flight and told her that we would be catching an earlier flight, she still managed to rearrange all the pick-ups and accommodate our last minute travel change. Our greeter in St. John was Bruce. He took us to the Courtesy rental car company which gave us a discount because we booked it through Susan and Diane. After picking up our rental Jeep, he then had us follow him to a local grocery market and gave us suggestions as to what to buy and where. After waiting for us to shop, he gave us some driving tips for the island and we followed him to Coral Bay and made another stop at a local market in Coral Bay so that we would know where to shop on the other side of the island. The drive up to the cottage is not for the faint of hearted, but it is totally worth it. Upon reaching the cottage, we were amazed at the quaintness, the view, the privacy, the top notch attention to detail; it was perfect. Bruce showed us around and made sure that we knew where everything was. And to top off this first class pick up treatment, Bruce spent the extra time to tell us about some of the best snorkeling locations, the best eating locations, the best off the beaten path beaches, the best hiking trails, the best times to go, etc… making sure that we really were ready for our trip. During our trip, we made sure to get up early and hike the island and visit every beach. We hiked the Lind Point Trail early in the morning to have Solomon Beach and Honeymoon Beach all to ourselves for quite a time and then hiked Margaret Hill and Caneel Hill to witness the amazing views. We hike the Lameshur Bay trail all the way to Reef bay, enjoying a strenuous hike and the ruins along the way (and back again!) and enjoying the entire bay to ourselves. The south beaches of Salt Pond Bay and Little Lameshur Bay are just as great as the famous north shore beaches and less crowded. We did go to Hawksnest Bay and Trunk Bay early in the morning and enjoyed the hike to Peace Hill to see these views of the north shore bays from there. We hit the Brown Bay Trail and the

Paradise Found!!!

My husband and I visited St. John for the first time and had an amazing vacation! We are already planning our next trip! The Windwardside Guest Cottage was the perfect place for our romantic getaway! It was clean, comfortable and Susan and Diane were so helpful and accomodating from day one of booking my vacation. We had a problem with the water going out and they were there to fix it within 10 minutes of our call-what wonderful service! I loved waking up to the spectacular view from our cottage-it really is breathtaking! The outdoor shower was awesome too! There are some wonderful restaraunts nearby and its a short drive to many beaches! It was really relaxing to end our busy day of exploring to get in the hot tub and look up at the stars. If you are looking for a small, cozy romantic place to stay on the island, look no further. This little cottage is perfect!

Great Headquarters for Snorkeling and Relaxing

I was traveling by myself on this trip and this little cottage was perfect. Very private with a fantastic view. I loved the outdoor shower with large plants. I used the hot tub at least once a day and found it to be very relaxing. It was a 2 mile drive to Saltpond Bay which is known to have some of the best snorkeling on St. John. I took underwater pictures of two turtles there and a spotted eagle ray. The one turtle was over 3 feet long. I plan to come back to this location every year!

Had a great trip!

We had a great vacation on St. John and the Windwardside Guest Cottage was a big part of it. The cottage was exactly as described. The view of Coral Bay was wonderful. We loved the hot tub under the stars. We enjoyed the outdoor shower under the watchful eye of the lizards and geckos. We grilled on the BBQ and ate outside on the porch. We made good use of the snorkling equipment, beach chairs and beach towels that were provided. My wife really enjoyed our breakfast visitors, the bananaquits; they really love that sugar. One bird also had a fondness for OJ with a touch of Cruzan Pineapple Rum in it! The road up to the cottage is memorable but we had no problems with it, very bumpy though! Susan and her staff (Diane and Adam) were absolulely amazing. They helped arrange our transportation from the airport to the ferry as well as our Jeep rental. They were helpful when we had any questions about the island and were very responsive when the heater on the hot tub stopped working. Island recommendations: Solomon Bay Beach - worth the hike on the Lind Point Trail; gorgeous beach; there were never more than 14 other people with us while we were there Jumbie Bay Beach - if arrive late afternoon maybe you will have the entire beach to yourselves (like we did) - AWESOME! Hike to Rams Head. What a view! The Ranger led Reef Bay Trail Hike was fun and informative. Had dinner at Skinny Legs and Shipwreck Landing and breakfast at Donkey Diner. All were good.

Windwardside cottage 2009 visit

went for an anniversary trip. Great service, incredible view from balcony. Fantastic trip and we'd go again to St. John. Cottage was good. Only disappointments were the hot tub was more like a 'barely warm' tub and the bed was just ok for comfortability. The trip was fantastic as a whole.

Wonderful- Simply Wonderful!

All your worries melt away walking in the door. A beautifully maintained villa, all the comforts of home- with a view that's purely AMAZING. A romantic retreat from the stressors of everyday life. Clean as a whistle. Don't forget to read the journal books on the shelf as they contain years of similar testimony. Dont hesitate on this decision book it!! Money well spent! Best vacation weve ever had.

Perfect trip!

We loved the cottage! It is clean and perfectly located close to Coral Bay but still feels secluded. The view was stunning. We loved the outdoor shower and hot tub. The owners were so helpful and easy to work with. We would definately stay here again!

A Little Piece of Heaven

Windwardside Guest Cottage is the perfect getaway for two people. The accomodations are well maintained, clean and comfortable. The view and location are fantastic. Bring groceries and your favorite adult beverages and enjoy wonderful meals on the porch. Great way to shed the stresses and strains of modern life.

Great week at Windwardside Guest Cottage

My husband and I had stayed in Coral Bay St John three years ago with a big family trip and decided that we wanted to return but to a smaller villa just the two of us. We were so excited to find Windwardside Guest cottage and the minute we contacted Susan at Calabash Cottages we knew we had made the right decision. Susan made our transportation and Jeep reservations which made for a much easier arrival than our previous trip. The staff member met us at the ferry and helped us pick up our jeep,brought us to the grocery store, and led us out to the gorgeous villa. The one drawback to the villa is that it is located up a very steep hill on a dirt road and the driving can be a little stressfull the first few trips. If you've never been to St John be aware that the driving can be somewhat difficult as only some of the streets are paved and almost all are narrow and steep. After a day or two its easy to adjust and the beautiful views make it all worth while! Before arriving we wondered what it would be like to stay at a guest cottage and whether it would offer enough privacy. Don't worry about this! The trees and foliage offer plenty of privacy and we never even caught a glimpse of the other cottage. By chance we saw the couple that stayed in the other cottage on our ferry ride at the end of the week and we all marveled at how we didnt see or hear eachother all week. Windwardside Guest Cottage definitly makes you feel like you are in your own private paradise. The cottage is small but has a great open feel with tall ceilings and big airy doors that bring in calm breezes all night. The kitchen has a sink and small efficiency fridge (tiny freezer), and two burner stove. There is also a grill outside -off the porch. We ate a few meals at the house and found everything we needed to prepare simple food and cocktails. The cottage also provides plently of towels,robes, and a hairdryer. We were happy to find beach chairs, coolers in all sizes, and snorkel gear.The best thing about the cottage is the view. We can see the ocean while lying in bed. We woke up every morning excited to get outside and head for the beach. I couldnt stop taking pictures from the front steps of the villa! Coral Bay offers everything you need for groceries,food, and cocktails, while still providing that "off the grid" feel. For any couple looking for a great romantic getaway you cant go wrong with Windwardside Guest Cottage!

Had a great time at Windwardside Guest Cottage!

This was truly the prefect vacation rental for our much needed tropical escape! We wanted a true "get-away" and to avoid the typical resort-style vacation. This was the ideal spot for a quiet week on a beautiful sunny island with amazing beaches. The cottage was cozy, and had everything we needed. It was tastefully decorated and very clean and well-kept. I miss the garden shower and the stunning views of coral bay. The porch was our favorite spot to relax, grill and sip coffee at sunrise. The snorkel gear, coolers and beach chairs gave us everything we needed for fun beach days. First night home was hard to fall asleep without the lull of the water and rustling palms. Can't wait to come back!

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

We love Coral Bay and wanted to design a home that did not tower over the hillside but fit into it's natural surroundings. The shape and orientation allowed of this property allowed us to do just that while still offering fabulous views. We love quiet natural settings, tropical gardens and ocean views and we appeal to visitors who are looking for just that.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

Windwardside Guest Cottage will make you fall in love with the view from the front porch. The first thing you will see in the morning right from your four poster bed is the palm fronds waving in the breeze. This compact cottage offers many amenities. It is also a great choice for two couples when rented with Windwardside Main House as each has a lot of privacy.
