About this property

Rosebay Cottage

Tucked into the hillside, this romantic island bungalow offers the best of St John. This newly remodeled, one-bedroom cottage located in the Great Cruz Bay, Chocolate Hole neighborhood. This quiet residential area is a perfect vacation base, just minutes from restaurants, beaches and shopping.

Bathed in natural light, this cozy island home has been completely reimagined with beautiful modern beach house furnishings and a sleek new kitchen, including custom cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances.

The perfect base for a couple, Rosebay boasts a king size bed in master with en-suite bath. An inviting great room beckons you to have a seat and take in the views from Hart Bay to Great Cruz Bay and beyond.

Enjoy making meals or preparing a beach lunch to go and dine in air-conditioned comfort while you delight in the ocean and garden vistas.

After a hard day at the beach, relax in the oversized chairs on your private covered deck, then soak in the hot tub and watch the sun go down and the stars come out.

Creature comforts and amenities include cable TV with premium programming and wireless internet access. Of course, full laundry access is on premises.

While Rosebay rents individually and is lushly landscaped for privacy, it is often rented for family reunions, weddings and retreats with its sister properties (Jasmine, Hawksbill and Periwinkle). In total, the four houses accommodate up to 16 people and are discreetly separated by stone paths lined with mature, aromatic flowering plants.

Perfect spot to watch the sunset!

Rosebay cottage was a great place to stay for 2 weeks on St John. We loved the outdoor area and we had a perfect spot to watch the sunset every night. Kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. We will definitely book again.

Nice Cottage. Great Location

We enjoyed our week at Rosebay. Nice cottage, very clean, kitchen and shower are great. Bed very comfortable. Great view from the balcony. I would make one observation, however. The only reason my rating is not a five star is that the sitting furniture in the living area is extremely uncomfortable. The couch and chair in the living room and the dining room chairs are just tough to sit in for any amount of time. Replace those and the place is perfect! Also, the property does require a bit of a climb from driveway to the door of the cottage. It’s just where it sits in the topography of St. John. No problem for us, bit for guests with any mobility challenges, it would be difficult.

Excellent stay!

Amazing. My wife and I were on our honeymoon and couldn't have asked for a better spot. The place was clean, the staff was very helpful, and the location was excellent! We would highly recommend this property for any couple looking for an amazing experience on the island.

Lovely 1 bedroom with full kitchen, great views of the bay and sunsets. Wrap around deck with a small hot tub. Not far from town but very private location. Would definitely recommend!

Close to Cruz Bay yet private

This is a newly remodeled unit, one of four on the property. They are situated so you have good privacy. It had everything you need for a comfortable stay and being able to do laundry is a huge plus. The deck has a great view and sunsets are super from this location. Highly recommend.

Wonderfull villa!bay

This villa is even better then the photos and description states! Eric a driver for Destinations Saint John picked us up at the ferry docks, helped us with our bags, stopped by the grocery store so we could provision a bit and gave us Island advice-best beaches-restaurants etc…Very nice and helpful! Rosebay villa greeted us with a very clean-wonderful feel with even a welcome bag full of goodies! The few times we called the management company they answered right away-were very helpful and courteous! The views are breathtaking-location is great and villa is completed in a fabulous flow and detail!!
