Cozy cottage - New Build, 10 minutes from the beach!

Cozy Cottage Indeed! The cottage was super clean and very comfortable! Loved having a king sized bed and new appliances and furniture. The owner and his father who lives next door was very kind and responsive. They even allowed us to check in early and we arrived to a welcome bottle of local rum in celebration of our 20th anniversary. What a lovely touch! The cottage is in a great location on the east side of the island and was no more than a 15 minute drive to beautiful beaches and great restaurants. Renting a car is recommended. The a/c worked great and having ceiling fans in each room was nice. A few things to note: There is no hairdryer in the cottage, so pack your own. There are beach towels but no other beach gear. Beach chairs, umbrella, and a cooler would have been great. The roosters in the neighborhood are very noisy at ALL hours of the day and night. I wish this would have been mentioned in the listing. It did not make for a very peaceful and quiet stay and woke my husband snd I up most nights at 1, 2, and 3AM, etc. If you are a light sleeper, this cottage is probably not for you. These are not the owner’s roosters but are fed by a neighbor so I do feel bad that this unfortunate situation is out of their control. The father did warn us of the roosters at the time of check in and described it as “island life”. I get it but all day and night with barely a break in between was just a little too much for us. We tried to catch up on our sleep during the days we were at the beach.

winter vacation 2025 Enjoyed our stay - kitchen was well equipped, washer/dryer, comfy bed, plenty of linens, and enjoyed the back deck. Host was very helpful when we had questions or concern. Clean and thoughtfully appointed. Downsides: location difficult for taxi driver to find us, and the roosters - for a while in early morn, a brief period about 3 AM (?), and pretty much all afternoon. We sort of adjusted, and other than those times, neighborhood was completely quiet.

Excellent replacement Two weeks before our vacation starting day, and owner of another property we reserved sent us a note that they cannot accommodate us so we switched to this property and there was no any regrets. New 1 br/ 1ba home with all new appliances. You need a rental car for your convenience

This was, indeed, a cozy cottage! Clean, private, well designed, amazing views, and easy access to everything, including Magen's Bay. The owner was kind and attentive--lived right next door so if there were any problems (we didn't have any, but if there were) they would have been solved quickly. Washer and dryer makes life so convenient after a day at the beach! The cottage has everything you need to be comfortable and happy on vacation in paradise!

It was a great experience. We loved it! Highly recommend! It was a Christian

I love this little house! This is the most beautiful little house. Everything brand new and clean! The listing was very accurate and the owners were very kind. As a frequent visitor to St Thomas, I was impressed and would absolutely stay here again. The area is safe and easy to access, and I felt very at home.
