Island Escape for Two, Class and Comfort

Perfect hideaway for two looking for a home away from home on the beautiful island of St. John.
Just a 5 minute drive to Coral Bay restaurants or 10 minutes to the World Class North Shore Beaches. The Turtle and the Seahorse cottage is a bright and airy studio, easy to find off Centerline Road...plus NO stairs, take just a few steps from your car door to your front door!

Your deck offers a view of the Bordeaux Mountains and stunnning Coral Bay. Full-sized appliances and a clean kitchen stocked with essential utensils make your vacation easy and comfortable. Relax in your king size bed, or chill watching a movie on the Smart TV.
Beach chairs, towels, shade tent and umbrella, noodles, and cooler are available to guests. You do not need to rent a four-wheel drive vehicle to get to our cottage, our roads are paved....for other remote parts of the island it maybe neccessary. You can walk or enjoy a morning jog on the friendly neighborhood roads just outside the cottage.

Hillside bungalow for two
We really enjoyed the Seahorse & Turtle cottage.The interior is adorable and has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. There were generously many condiments, coffee, etc provided upon arrival which was unexpected but great to get started! The outdoor spaces are also lovely with of the mountains on one side and Coral Bay from the other. We loved not having any stairs to navigate with luggage or groceries so that was a plus. Also, having never visited St John before we feel we were very well located to enjoy many of the hiking trails as well as the beautiful North Shore beaches. Location,location,location! Allison and Juan were both delightful and helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again!!

Overall, great stay with a view! Do not expect to have friends over though and do not expect for water pressure in shower. Shower also had an odor.

Perfect Stay!
We had such a great stay! We fell in love with the views! Communication with Allison was fast. The location is perfect, so close to all the spots we wanted to hit - our favorite snorkel spots were Haulover beach (north), Leinster Bay and Salt Pond Bay. Our favorite hike was Rams Head. All these spots were so easy to get to from the cottage!! The cottage was well stocked and it didn't take long at all for the AC to cool the place down! We cooked our all dinners in the kitchen and loved eating out on the deck. Would stay here again.

A very beautiful space with an even more beautiful view. Sitting areas outside for rain or shine. Everything you need for a beach day and a well equipped kitchen for meals. It was all we could have wished for.
