Tucked high on Sea Grape Hill, Bon Bini Cottage is a peaceful retreat overlooking beautiful Coral Bay, St. John. The cottage boasts picturesque views, convenience to the town of Coral Bay and nearby beaches, and all of the amenities of home. \*\*\* KEY FEAUTRES \*\*\* \-One bedroom, one and a half bathroom home with no shared spaces whatsoever (complete privacy for you & your guest!) \-Air conditioning throughout \-Solar power with battery back-up \-Clothes washer/dryer (new as of November 2024) \-Full-sized kitchen with new appliances \-StarLink Internet \-Hot tub \-Stand-up paddleboards, floats, beach chairs, beach coolers with ice packs, & beach towels all provided Bon Bini features a well-equipped kitchen, suitable for making meals during a relaxing evening in. The living area offers a cozy couch with views, air conditioning, an indoor dining table, and a private and spacious attached half bath. The kitchen, living room area, and half bathroom make up one building of Bon Bini Cottage. The second building of the cottage is home to the private & quaint bedroom with attached full bathroom. Complete with a queen sized bed, it is outfitted with air conditioning to keep you cool after a day in the St. John sun. The attached bathroom (constructed in November 2024) offers an indoor shower, clothes washer/dryer and large vanity. At Bon Bini Cottage, the private deck is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning as the sun rises or listen to the enchanting sounds of tree frogs at night. Relaxing in the hot tub for two under the stars is a wonderful way to end the day. The outdoor shower showcases the view of Coral Bay while still being completely private. Lounging chairs to soak up the sun and an outdoor grill complete the space. The cottage is also stocked with lots of beach gear, including: two beach chairs, four beach towels, a small cooler with ice packs, floats, and two paddleboards! The property where Bon Bini Cottage is located is often visited by sheep, goats, donkeys, chickens, and tortoises. There is also lots of lizards/geckos and birds (thrashers, bananaquits, & hummingbirds) around at all times. Finally, it is important that we note to guests that a cat named Sebastian visits the cottage frequently and enjoys being pet. Sebastian has a comfortable home with plenty of food and water (he is not a stray cat!), but enjoys making his rounds at all the houses on the hillside. If you do not enjoy the company of roaming cats (or possibly other wildlife), Bon Bini Cottage may not be well-suited for your time on St. John. The location of the cottage is the perfect mix of tranquility and convenience. A quick drive down the mountain leads you to the town of Coral Bay. Various restaurants (many with with live music), a grocery store, mini mart, and shops are all located within a five or ten minute drive. The beaches of the North Shore (including the notable Maho Bay and more secluded Francis Bay) are less than 15 minutes away. Visitors looking to enjoy the locals crowd on the beaches can venture to the East End of St. John or Salt Pond and Lameshur Bays in 20 minutes. Please note that we have one NEST camera in the driveway/parking area. This camera records movement, but not sound. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: non smoking only ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the sea ### Things to do - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34090000/34084100/34084013/w848h564x0y1-1400a0c0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quaint Studio Cottage with private pool overlooking beautiful Coral Bay Upper Carolina - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 118 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=34084013&PinnedHotelID=34084013&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44270000/44268800/44268799/0be15ada.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Salty Kisses & Goodnight Wishes-Come enjoy St. John, USVI, in peaceful Coral Bay Upper Carolina - Ocean view - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 109 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=44268799&PinnedHotelID=44268799&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sun loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33710000/33708600/33708517/06cc73a2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Blue Wrasse - Cute Little Cottage with Gorgeous Deck Views St. John - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.8 Exceptional 179 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=33708517&PinnedHotelID=33708517&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34390000/34387100/34387093/34d9e99b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### “Secluded Romantic Villa with Private Pool—Nestled in Lush National Park Beauty” St John - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 94 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=34387093&PinnedHotelID=34387093&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, video library, stereo](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/30000000/29830000/29825700/29825627/21161523.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Peaceful, luxury villa with breathtaking views of Coral Bay and the BVIs Lower Carolina - Ocean view - Kitchen - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.8 Exceptional 46 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=29825627&PinnedHotelID=29825627&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31190000/31189800/31189782/7f9f7147.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oceanfront - A perfect couple's only romantic getaway.

Bedding was comfortable and bath towels were very soft. Having a washer/dryer on-site was a nice bonus. Emily is a great host and her advice made what could have been a challenging/confusing arrival, very easy. Would definitely recommend staying here or one of her other properties on the island. ##### Jeff P.

Bon Bini (and St. John in general) exceeded our expectations. The cottage was in a fabulous location, just above Coral Bay, with stellar views and a very comfortable set up. It was a quick drive to Salt Pond Bay, for snorkeling with sea turtles and the Ram's Head hike, as well as several other beaches/bays part of VINP. Not as close to Cruz Bay, but we didn't mind as there were a few small shops for quick supplies close by, plus the drive was always a thrill! We enjoyed the kitchen, giving us the option to cook in (which was helpful over the holiday since many restaurants were closed). Addition of in-unit laundry was amazing. Bonus points for the outdoor shower! Emily was a responsive host, providing some great advice ahead of our stay. Overall, this is a highly recommended rental, and we'd love to come back sometime. ##### Alison R.

We decided on corral bay, just to be closer to the natural beauty of the island and away from the crowds! This beautiful cottage was a little slice of heaven! The hosts thought of EVERYTHING!! They provided all of the beach equipment you could ever need (chairs, umbrellas, sunscreen, bug spray, towels, floaties, kayaks, paddle boards). Small detail, but I ruined my pedicure when I was snorkeling the day before my wedding, and the hosts had nail polish remover in the cottage so I could fix my nail polish. The ONLY downside of the cottage, for me, was the firmness of the mattress. I’m use to a very plushy/foamy bed, so it took some getting use to. Staying at this cottage was just an amazing experience overall. From the incredible views, to the friendly hosts, the location, we’d definitely stay here again! ##### Jessica C.

Jan 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing view in secluded area This place is spectacular from beginning to end. Before our arrival Emily sent us all the info we needed (including a video of the drive up to the cottage) to find the place and get settled. If you are looking for a private, relaxed retreat with the ability to go and do as much as your heart desires then this is it! We enjoyed the 2 person hot tub with a view after long days on the beach, exploring the island and a little bit of hiking. There are plenty of food options nearby that are very good (skinny legs, rhumb lines and Johnny lime’s Sunday brunch) and it’s a short boat ride to the kime out taco bar. The tacos truly are some of the best I’ve ever had. We didn’t spend much time inside the cottage at all because there was just no need to! I mentioned the view, right?!?! We stayed on the balcony watching the boats and the sunrise/sunset. If you wanted to spend time inside it has all the amenities you could want if you choose to use them. This place very high on my list for tropical travel. Not just St. John, but the cottage! High marks for location, privacy, seclusion, ease of use, and outdoor living space. Thank you for sharing your little cottage in paradise! ##### Tara E. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### maryjane a. Apr 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Dreamy St. John Destination This darling cottage was perfect for my husband and I on a relaxing trip away. We were looking for something that was away from the hustle and bustle and Bon Bini was absolutely wonderful. Two cottages - one with the bedroom, one with kitchen, living area, and toilet. Outdoor shower which was really fun, And the VIEW. It's impossibly gorgeous. Surreal even. We spent a lot of time sitting at the table (you see in the first photo of the listing) and gazing out at the boats, water, and island beyond. In the evening, it's quiet and chill. Emily was so kind, answering all of my questions prior to arrival, providing helpful tips, and even sending a video of how to find the cottage. St. John doesn't provide road signs or house numbers so navigation is a little tricky overall - but Emily made it SO easy. We even locked ourselves out during our stay and she had us back in in less than 5 minutes. Coral Bay has a few restaurants, market, and small dock to catch excursions from. We ate at Rhumb Lines and Skinny Legs - very different experiences, but both great! We went to Lime Out (which you can see from the cottage), and it was a 5 minute boat ride from Coral Bay. Super easy and convenient - and FUN. My biggest advice would be to rent a jeep. St. John overall has a lot of switch backs and rocky roads, especially if you want to adventure around the island. We had a car and it was ok, but next time we will level up for a jeep. It's about 20-25 minutes to get to the cottage from Cruz Bay and about 15 minutes from the Maho/Trunk Bay beaches - which were our favorite. We really wanted our time at Bon Bini and in Coral Bay to be quiet and relaxing since this was a couples only trip for two exhausted parents of three kids. It was PERFECT for us and we can't wait to go back some day. Book this rental, you won't be disappointed. ##### maryjane a. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy Q.

Bon Bini was perfect. The cabin and the view is just as amazing as the photos and description describe. It is perfect for two people and offers a great place to come home and relax together after a day of hiking, snorkeling, or enjoying the beach. Coral Bay is quieter and far less crowded than Cruz Bay, but still has some amazing restaurants and bars just a few minute drive from the cabin. The host was very easy to reach, and available if we needed anything. ##### Josh D. Stayed 14 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron B.

Bed was comfortable, AC kept us cool, plenty of cooking stuff in the kitchen, and the hot tub was great for evening star watching. We’d happily book here again! ##### Aaron B.
