My husband and I stayed in the one bedroom, one bath unit. It is an excellent value for the price considering you get an ocean view, a fantastic swimming pool and a clothes washer and dryer. This is a beautiful rustic place to stay that is private, yet a short drive to Cruz Bay. There are only three units, and one of those is the owner, so the pool is never crowded and there are lots of chairs.
We rented a Jeep from a place on St. John, and the cottage owner, James, met us there to show us the way to his place because Google maps is not accurate. It was nice to follow someone for our first time driving on the left-hand side of the road!
We visited in June and there were many flowering tropical plants on the property. There is an outdoor grill, a gas stove, flashlights, batteries, and candles to keep you covered in case of a power outage. If you stay during the humid months of summer, you will probably use the air conditioner while you are at the cottage. The air conditioner is strong enough to make the bedroom as cold as you want, while also cooling the kitchen area and brings down the humidity in the bathroom/ laundry room area. To use the air conditioner, you have to close the big arched wooden doors and window shutters, so then you do not have any view and have to turn on the lights, but you can sit on the screened-in porch or up at the pool for the view. The cottage really only has room for two people to sleep in the air-conditioned area of the cottage.
