The Blue Wrasse was truly a one-of-a-kind property. A sweet little cottage to return to after long days exploring the island and all its offerings; beaches, ruins, history, cultural experiences. Our 3 little boys were snug in the downstairs bed and the kitchen futon and we slept in the loft. Of note, the loft is a low ceiling and a ladder up that we didn't think our kids could navigate for nighttime bathroom trips. We'd planned to use the toddler bed that we didn't find there, but we didn't ask about it and instead made do with the comfy futon. The AC and fans kept us cool at night + sweet morning sunrise to wake to. Burgers and smoothies on the deck one night - so memorable! Our middle kid celebrated his birthday while at the house - he will not forget blowing out candles with that view. Two full rainbows happened while at the cottage. We really appreciated the snorkel gear, sand toys and beach chairs - that saved us $ for sure. Our cistern was dry for 2-3 days so we had to strictly limit water use, but the property manager was so apologetic and kept us up to date about when the cistern would be filled. The island is having a drought, so know that you'll have to limit your showers and be creative to find laundry on the island (go on weekday early am to Cruz Bay - we had no luck in the afternoon). Considering the incomparable beaches, not too big a deal. The kitchen was very well appointed with spices, coffee, oils, great blender. We really prepped quickly for this trip so didn't realize that the roads were so steep everywhere (!!!) or, until pretty late realize that the water isn't potable on St. John (you need to buy water for drinking). It's an adventure! For all those traveling to St. John and planning to snorkel, please be warned that the full-face snorkel masks are very dangerous - there's so much to see under the water including fish, turtles, coral, eel!, squid, octopus, huge starfish, conch... make sure your snorkeling is a safe experience by using flotation devices for everyone, even strong swimmers. You never know if you might need to help out an inexperienced swimmer near you or hit a current. Waterlemon Cay was no joke with that current! Use snorkel masks that have a separate mouth and nose piece so that you can clear your mask easily. Don't miss: early am hike to Ram's Head! Our fave snorkel was at Salt Pond. Baby turtles and HS crabs everywhere!!! This trip was so memorable. Thanks for sharing your sweet cottage with us!
