Quiet, walk to park beaches, sea & pond views. Fiddlewood Cottage is an affordable breezy, private, one bedroom (with AC), fully equipped, home on the undeveloped, quiet side of St. John. Nestled within the Virgin Islands National Park. Its location is short distances from the end of the bus line at Saltpond Bay entrance, with walking distance to Grootpan, Kiddle, and Lameshure beaches. Mature gardens, and large shade trees surround the cottage. A peace filled sanctuary where all creatures find comfort, except mosquitoes!!! 8 minute drive to Coral Bay for groceries, shopping and restaurants. A VERY well equipped cottage comes with all amenities including: Dish soaps, paper towels, toilet paper, all kitchen supplies, bath & beach towels, beach chairs, swim fins (masks not provided), outdoor gas grill, full size kitchen and drinking water is separately filtered at the kitchen sink. In addition to the great breezes, there are ceiling fans in every room with AC in the bedroom only. SW deck with 2 lounge chairs for shaded morning coffee, sunset views to Grootpan Bay with the distant sounds of crashing waves & star filled skies devoid of light pollution. Dining inside on porch and outside in the garden. A perfect place for retreats, honeymoons & nature filled getaways. The light is always changing, magic and a plein air painters dream! Fiddlewood's bedroom has a queen size bed, a queen pull out couch in the living room plus a single sleeping settee on the screened in porch overlooking Mandahl Pond's amazing bird life. Off road parking right to the front door. Dining on both the front and back decks. There’s an additional 10’x10’ tent on a platform below Fiddlewood. Sleeps 2 on twin beds that converts into a king if needed. Has a fan, lights, and 2 side tables. There’s a short, lite path down to it. Additional costs apply.

Many books in the library highlighting local flora, fauna and sea creatures as well as an eclectic array of other interests. Hiking maps and board games too. I have my quiet frequency practice in an adjacent cottage. Both space have separate entrances so privacy is maintained. Affordable, quiet, peaceful, comfortable, unpretentious living in the Caribbean is what we offer to the traveler who wants to get away far, far from the maddening crowds. ## Commodités de l’hébergement ### Plage - Chaises longues sur la plage - Serviettes de plage ### Piscine/spa - Massage ### Internet - Disponible dans le cottage : Wi-Fi gratuit ### Stationnement et transport - Stationnement sur place incluant des places hors rue ### Cuisine - Batterie de cuisine, vaisselle et couverts - Bouilloire électrique - Cafetière-théière - Épices - Essuie-tout - Four - Four à micro-ondes - Grille-pain - Mélangeur - Moulin à café - Réfrigérateur - Surface de cuisson ### Restauration - Service de chef cuisinier - Table de salle à manger ### Chambres - Canapé-lit - Chambre - Draps fournis ### Salle de bain - 1 salle de bain - Douche - Papier de toilette - Savon - Séchoir à cheveux - Serviettes fournies - Shampooing ### Lieux de séjour - Salle de séjour - Table de salle à manger ### Divertissement - Jeux - Livres ### Espaces extérieurs - Balcon - Foyer - Gril au gaz - Jardin - Meubles extérieurs ### Buanderie - Installations de buanderie - Laveuse ### Espaces de travail - Chaise de bureau ### Confort - Climatisation - Ventilateur de plafond ### Animaux de compagnie - Animaux de compagnie acceptés - Jusqu’à 50 livres par animal ### Accessibilité - Sections fumeurs - Commentaire de l’hôte : Outside only. ### Services et commodités - Entretien ménager (sur demande) - Fer et planche à repasser - Service de livraison de repas ### Points d’intérêt de l’endroit - À proximité de la mer - Baie à proximité - Dans un village - En zone rurale - Hôpital à proximité - Sur la rive ### Activités - Équipement de sports aquatiques - Kayak - Baignade à proximité - Écotourisme à proximité - Équitation à proximité - Excursions d’observation de la faune à pied à proximité - Kayak à proximité - Motonautisme à proximité - Observation d’oiseaux à proximité - Observation des baleines à proximité - Parois d’escalade à proximité - Pêche à proximité - Planche à voile à proximité - Plongée avec masque et tuba à proximité - Plongée sous-marine à proximité - Sentiers de randonnée ou de vélo à proximité - Voile à proximité ### Dispositifs de sécurité - Présence d’un détecteur de monoxyde de carbone non signalée (L’hôte n’a pas indiqué s’il y avait un détecteur de monoxyde de carbone dans l’hébergement; envisagez d’apporter un détecteur portable.) - Détecteur de fumée (L’hôte a indiqué qu’il y avait un détecteur de fumée dans l’hébergement.) - Trousse de premiers soins - Extincteur ### Information générale - Entretien ménager (sur demande) - Jardin - Taille de l’unité : 900 pieds carrés ## Hébergements similaires ![Plage à proximité](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48720000/48717800/48717776/117eeeed.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Minutes from beaches & trails of the National Park, with a large bedroom .

Séjour de 28 nuits en mars 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Eva G., Philadelphia PA 19 déc. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Beautiful private cottage This is a lovely cottage in a private spot on the quiet side of St. John. It is very well equipped and comfortable. You get a view of the pond and the bay, enjoy the breezes, and relax! Mary is a superb host. She has thought of everything to make your stay the very best. There are beach chairs, a tent, flippers for snorkeling, etc. etc. Books and games for indoor entertainment. One caution- make sure to rent a Jeep so you can get in the final road to the cottage. ##### Eva G. Séjour de 7 nuits en décembre 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Pearl C. 20 juill. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Oh St. John. Our home away from home! Mary was a wonderful host. She was in constant communication- before, during and after our stay. Always available, and checked in during the frequent power outages that have been occurring throughout STT and STJ. Mary's house is cozy with a wonderful view and fully stocked with all the amenities. Thank you for the warm welcome and stay, Mary! ##### Pearl C. Séjour de 3 nuits en juillet 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Susan M., El Granada and Land O Lakes, WI 29 mars 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Wonderful Fiddlewood Cottage My travel partner and I stayed for 12 days at this artfully decorated, immaculate, and well equipped cottage. The kitchen had any spice, bowl, and pan we would ever need. The beds were comfy with views galore to the National Park and Grootpan Bay. Outside the gorgeous plant and plentiful bird life surrounded the decks. Our superlative host Mary gave us great advice before we came and for our daily adventures. We will definitely book this cottage again in the future. ##### Susan M. Séjour de 11 nuits en mars 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Jonathan S. 11 mai 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Enchanted April Perhaps you have never seen a flamingo beyond the confines of a zoo. Maybe you have never heard the subtle, secret sounds of nature as night falls in a garden. If you haven’t witnessed a cloud of hummingbirds feeding on a flowering cactus or watched a tree frog’s vigil on a rainy night you will be able to do so in Mary’s garden. St. John in April is the strangest mix of lush and arid. The stony road that leads to the cottage is the prelude to a garden where orchids cling to a tree that itself erupts into blooms that previously only existed in a book by Dr. Seuss. Cactus live cheek by jowl with blossoming perennials and palms. St John is full of magical contradictions. Water is precious here but St John blooms with proper stewardship. This cottage was private and quiet, immaculately kept and sweetly whimsical. You have every amenity necessary for comfort. Mary is a responsive and lovely host. Need a tent to shelter from sun at the beach? She provides it. Flippers? They are available, sunscreen? In a basket, along with cortisone for the occasional bug bite. Towels? Check. Shampoo? Absolutely! A grill? On the porch. Ice? Waiting for you in the freezer. Filtered water, every item one needs to cook a meal to enjoy after a long day on the sand. There will never be silence there – it is filled with the hum of life. Geckos, land crabs ,birds, frogs. At night? I think Mary even arranged for all those stars, as they are placed just so. Of course we will want to go back! ##### Jonathan S. Séjour de 7 nuits en avril 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Neal S., Overland Park, KS 9 mars 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### A colorful West Indies feel The flora and fauna (bird sanctuary) here surround a quaintly-decorated cottage, giving one a true feel for the West Indies. Tucked away from the bustling tourism one finds on the opposite end of St.John, this place is a peaceful retreat, with everything a family needs for a fun vacation. Salt Pond Bay and Little Laneshur Bay are closeby, and we found then to be great beaches with awesome snorkeling. ##### Neal S. Séjour de 8 nuits en mars 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Mary H. 19 janv. 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Beautiful spot! We loved our vacation in this beautiful cottage! The location was perfect for easy access to hiking and snorkeling/swimming. Many national park trails are walking distance from the house, as are several snorkeling sites. We greatly enjoyed snorkeling in Groopan and Kiddle Bays, close to the cottage, and exploring the park trails. The cottage was very well outfitted, and the garden and views are inspiring! Thank you Mary for the perfect vacation! ##### Mary H. Séjour de 12 nuits en janvier 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Stacey K. 20 févr. 2022 Points forts : Propreté #### Quiet Island Getaway! My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time at Mary’s place. We loved how remote and quiet it was, and we had beautiful views off the back deck. Definitely a great place to stay if you are looking for something less busy than Cruz Bay, and right by great hiking trails. Would love to come back again! ##### Stacey K. Séjour de 6 nuits en février 2022 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Mary C. 17 janv. 2022 Points forts : Propreté #### Quiet and peaceful Fiddlewood Cottage was a great stay away from the more populated, touristy areas of St John. The stars were bright, and the grounds were filled with flowers and plants. It was relaxing to watch all the hummingbirds and the sunsets in the quiet. The cottage was very clean and well equipped with kitchen supplies, towels, games, etc. The hostess, Mary, was very helpful and kept in touch as needed during the stay. Thanks for sharing your home away from home! ##### Mary C. Séjour de 5 nuits en janvier 2022 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Marshall B., New York, NY 8 janv. 2022 Points forts : Propreté #### Incredible Stay Mary's place is incredible. It's one of the best VRBO's we've ever stayed in. The views from the cottage are incredible, and you're staying on a part where it feels like you have the entire island to yourself. Myself, my wife, and our infant daughter stayed there for a week around new years eve, and it was the perfect spot for us. We can only hope to return as soon as possible. ##### Marshall B. Séjour de 5 nuits en décembre 2021 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Voyageur vérifié 6 juill. 2021 Points forts : Propreté #### Relaxing week in paradise Fiddlewood cottage was the perfect spot for the relaxing, quiet week on St John my husband and I were craving. The location, just past Salt Pond, minutes to Lamshure, is away from all the crowds in Cruz Bay, but close enough to Coral Bay to easily get to the market, restaurants, and from there North Shore beaches. The cottage itself is adorable, squeaky clean, and cozy. The decks are perfect for dining, relaxing, and stargazing away from the town lights. We will definitely be returning! ##### Voyageur vérifié Séjour de 7 nuits en juin 2021 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Jon L. 24 juin 2021 Points forts : Propreté #### Charming cottage We had a great time at the cottage. Tranquil, breezy and beautiful, you are at one with nature while you’re there. Mary provided everything that we could possibly need during our stay and was super helpful with recommendations. Would definitely go back again!! ##### Jon L. Séjour de 4 nuits en juin 2021 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Cynthia B., Groton, Massachusetts, USA 14 janv. 2021 Points forts : Propreté #### Peaceful, out of the way St. John retreat I had come to St. John last-minute, joining my family, who was staying at a larger home nearby. Mary’s home is charming, remote, comfortable, and peaceful. There was the shady porch, the sunny deck, and the large patio, where you could get either sun or shade, depending on the time of day. Gorgeous gardens, a well-stocked home, and a welcoming owner all contributed to a perfect stay for me. In addition, I was about a 10-15 minute walk from three prime areas: Kiddel, Grootpan, and Saltpond Bays. I would highly recommend this home for an individual, couple, or very small group seeking quiet and solitude. ##### Cynthia B. Séjour de 6 nuits en janvier 2021 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Ann G. 27 févr. 2020 Points forts : Propreté #### Perfect Cottage Fiddlewood is an idyllic place to stay. Sun or shade any time of day from multiple decks, wonderful gardens and bird life, close to beaches. Plus, the best hosts ever. The cottage is very well equipped, but if there is anything else you need, Mary can help! Can't recommend a better place to stay. ##### Ann G. Séjour de 8 nuits en février 2020 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Claude S. 27 janv. 2020 Points forts : Propreté #### Charm, Comfort and Care This was our second visit to Fiddlewood Cottage and it was better than ever. The post storm renovations made the place bigger, brighter and even more comfortable. The setting is peaceful and magical, even after the bumpy approach which is everywhere on St.John. Mary sent us tips before and during our stay and helped us enjoy our stay in more ways than we could count. The personal touches are quietly evident everywhere: the stocked kitchen, the impeccable bathroom, the beach equipment, island info, the lovely garden, etc. It is obvious that she cares deeply about the house and makes every effort to share her passion for it. Book early, go and enjoy a special vacation. ##### Claude S. Séjour de 9 nuits en janvier 2020 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Todd W., Zionsville, Indiana 2 janv. 2020 Points forts : Propreté #### Fiddlewood Cottage Getaway Our family had the most enchanting stay at Fiddlewood Cottage. The seclusion and natural beauty of this location was beyond our expectation and will keep us coming back. Mary, the property owner is wonderful, and takes great pride in her place. The cottage and gardens are beautifully kept with all of the details covered. Her guidance and suggestions were perfect throughout our visit with valuable local knowledge from the best car rental to the most amazing snorkeling just out the door. We are grateful for having found this place and for having one of our best family vacations here. ##### Todd W.

The house was clean and even more cute than the pictures show! It's secluded over Salt Pond with a beautiful view to watch the sunset. Mary was an absolute joy! She always communicated back quickly and was very helpful the entire time! She went out of her way to make sure we had the time of our lives! I highly recommend staying here to anyone who wants peace and to get away from the hustle and bustle! Truly one of the best experiences we've ever had!! ##### Justin R. ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Kimberlee M., stockbridge,Vt 25 juill. 2019 Points forts : Propreté #### Peace at the end of a windy road Everything about my experience with Mary and Estate Mandel exceeded my expectations. It had been years since I visited St John, and I never got over to the Coral Bay side, so I had a ton of questions. Communication before check in was easy and informative. The accommodations were very clean, peaceful, beautiful and the gardens lush! Each morning I woke up to watch the hummingbirds and chicks lap of the fresh rain water and nectar from flower to flower. The distant sound of the waves crashing in Grootpan Bay was soothing. In short- the setting is amazing and so peaceful- like you are the only ones on earth. The accommodations were wonderful- Mary and Les have thought of everything you could need- the kitchen well equipped, the bathroom was stocked with all the things you may have forgotten, plenty of water toys and beach needs- chairs, cooler, even frozen water bottles! The stars at night out on a show that was spectacular and it was fun watching ships and sailboats slide past our little bay. The bed was comfy, and the screened in porch, which could be used as a sleeping nook, came in handy at twilight. I can’t say enough about Mary as a host- she literally thought of everything including special needs I might have coming in from far away. Her suggestions for great snorkeling led to an amazing experience away from the crowds. I highly recommend a staying here if you want to ‘get away’ from it all but also have all the amenities of a fully stocked home. The work she is doing now to expand the sleeping capacity will make this villa so much fun for families or friends traveling together! A peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle! ##### Kimberlee M. Séjour de 3 nuits en juillet 2019 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Susan B. 19 mars 2019 #### Sweet retreat with amazing views of paradise We all loved staying at Fiddlewood cottage! The views of St John's unspoiled mountainous interior, the salt lagoon and bay beyond were gorgeous and lush. Every morning we awakened to birds and the humming of the bees in the pink pom-pom trees. For breakfast, we'd slice open fresh papaya. The cottage is very clean, comfortable and sweetly decorated. It has all the conveniences and yet a rustic feel which fits the remote side of the island. Beaches, hiking trails and great snorkeling are close at hand. This is truly a retreat for nature lovers who wish to escape the crowds. ##### Susan B.

Fiddlewood was perfect for tranquility! Beautiful home with beautiful surroundings and a short walk to two bay beaches! Perfect & Thanks again Mary! ##### Lisa L.

Séjour de 4 nuits en novembre 2018 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Jodie w. 13 août 2017 #### BEAUTIFUL GARDENS, WELL EQUIPPED COTTAGE I strongly recommend this cottage for those who like something small, well-maintained and remote. The setting is beautiful, the cottage is very comfortable, and we enjoyed walking to nearby beaches and snorkeling. Mary is a wonderful hostess. She loves this property, and her care shows. She had good ideas for us, ranging from when and where to snorkel, to how to use the lemongrass in her garden. We enjoyed our stay very much. Jodie W., Brookline, MA ##### Jodie w. Séjour de 7 nuits en août 2017 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Joelle T. 19 juin 2017 #### We had a fantastic time and throughly enjoyed the house and St John The house was lovely. Had all the amenities you needed. We spent a lot of time on the porch listening to the birds and just enjoying the Caribbean breeze. The flowers and plants were charming and the outdoor dining area was lovely. The hammock was a wonderful way to spend the late afternoon. The owners were very helpful with directions and suggestions for our stay. The snorkeling located closest to the house was some of the best we have ever done and we loved being the only people on the beach. We were looking for a low key relaxing vacation and the Fiddlewood cottage certainly provided that. ##### Joelle T. Séjour de 9 nuits en juin 2017 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### David M., Wimauma, FL 31 mai 2017 #### Tranquility Mary has turned this cottage into a perfect get away, put her touches throughout. St John has some wonderful outdoor activities and local eateries, when you're done with the day Mary's place is your sanctuary. If she tells you about quiet places to snorkel take her advice, both had clear viz, great coral, sea life and almost to ourselves! For those who are more resort or hotel oriented this may be too far outside the box, for the rest of us enjoy and relax. Recommend a 4 wheel drive on the island, useful for the unpaved roads when exploring the island. ##### David M. Séjour de 4 nuits en mai 2017 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Lynn O., Brookline, MA 7 mars 2017 #### Exceeded our Expectations My husband and I spent a week, with my sister joining us later in the week. Everything about the house and locale is wonderful. The small house has everything you need, and the wrap around porch with living space on both sides makes for easy indoor/outdoor living. There is wonderful cross ventilation, with a view overlooking the large salt pond and a more distant view of the Caribbean. There is not a house to be seen from the cottage and the stars at night are awesome. The kitchen worked well and we did breakfast outdoors, late lunch after being out in the sun, and dinner at several local restaurants - Concordia Cafe for burgers, Lucy's for fish and steel band, Inidgo for fish tacos and live music, and Shipwreck Landing for fish and chips and live swing music. Mary has outfitted with useful beach chairs, fins, beach towels, and is extremely helpful in making recommendations for local places to snorkel, rent kayaks, and grocery shop. She is a real resource. Generally, the area is a bit off the beaten path, at the quiet end of the island (a good 35 minute drive from Cruz bay on windy, hilly roads) , with an old time feel. The south side bays were calm and protected from the winds, which made the snorkeling great. There is a short dirt road to the cottage, and you definitely want a four wheel jeep rental to negotiate some the of pot holes and rocks. ##### Lynn O. Séjour de 7 nuits en février 2017
