What an incredible visit! We came back after staying here 5 years ago, and definitively won’t wait as long next time! Checkin and communication was so smooth, easy and relaxed, the location so close to Coral Bay and short drives to our favorite snorkel spots, and also close to great, chill food options - it was the perfect unwind that we needed!

We loved our stay at Ocean Eden, it was perfect for 2 people. We sat out every night on the balcony and watched the sun rise every morning. Hannah was easy to book with, Lorraine answered all our questions, and Bob has put so much love and work into the grounds. There are a lot of stairs, so this wouldn't be the right spot for someone with mobility issues, but if you're looking for a quiet little spot in Coral Bay with views, this is it.

What an amazing stay! Everything about this place was top notch. Hidden away on the East side, away from all the tourists. The pool was great and Lorraine made sure we had everything we needed. Conveniently located by some awesome hidden gems for snorkling and hiking. Makes you feel like a local for a few days. Everyone was extremely friendly and there to help.

Darling Cottages With An Awesome View

We stayed in the Ocean Cottage. We drank coffee on the deck each morning and the views were stunning. We hiked every day and came home and went to the super cool pool. Its a short drive to the hikes and the beaches. It was serene and lovely. Definitely coming back.

I loved the cottage - cute, clean, comfortable, spacious, great views from the cottage, the porch and the pool…. What more could I ask for??The location was nice and quiet, about 30 min from Cruz Bay. Driving up and down the driveway was an adventure! It scared me at first, but I got the hang of it. You can park on the street and avoid the driveway, if you prefer. There are steps up to your cottage but for anyone in decent shape, that shouldn’t be an issue. Such a wonderful place for my escape! Hannah and her mom were so helpful, as I’d never been to St John before.

The Perfect Place

The Garden of Eden is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation on St John. Our host lives in a separate house on the property and was very accessible but not intrusive. She gave us some great tips on where to snorkel. The property is set on a hill overlooking Coral Bay, has a wonderful pool and deck and is well-equipped. It's a short walk to Skinny Legs and a few other local eateries. It's a 10-15 drive to the greatest snorkeling locations and beaches on the island. It you want a wonderful place to spend time on this island, the Garden of Eden is the perfect spot.

An Amazing Experience!

Ok, so I’m not usually the sort of person to leave a review but holy smokes did we enjoy ourselves here! Lorraine is amazing and she looked out for us every step of the way as it was our first time on St John! We received lots of great suggestions for things to do and she routinely checked in to see how we were doing! The cottage is amazing. Clean, quiet, and was the perfect place to unwind after long hours of hiking and snorkeling. Definitely will be coming back the next time we visit the island!

Does climbing 102 stairs twice a day sound like fun?

At the apartment, the view is great. Rent a Jeep and you will only have to climb 54 stairs with your luggage. The mapping programs work.Be sure to screen shot your original rental agreement. It’s easier to track any changes. Enjoy the food at the Cantina and Skinny legs and All. Drive east to great beaches.

Super Relaxing

Amazing property with a wonderful host!! She makes sure your taken care of from arrival to departure. The property is very clean, well maintained and very comfortable. The cottage is totally awesome and perfect for a couple to get away. There’s everything you’d need to stay, including snorkel gear, beach chairs, cooler etc. Wi-Fi access and TV. Super nice TV in the bedroom and it has Air Conditioning which is perfect after a long day at the beach! We had an absolute blast for our first time on the island! The infinity pool is amazing as well! So relaxing. Thanks again!

Heavenly house

My husband and I stayed at the house for a week in February. We arrived to a spotlesss. Pretty home with all the necessary things and so many extras. Coffee, creamer, sugar choices! Rum , vodka, water. Chairs, cooler…. It was magical !!!! We woke to the sounds of roosters and donkeys and drank coffee by the pool. We could walk to town and to many restaurants. We loved our visit !

Quiet with a great view

Property was as expected. Lorraine is a great property manager with lots of recommendations. The property is clean and the bed is comfortable. Note that the driveway is steep. This was our 1st trip to St John. Coral Bay is quiet. Be ready to eat dinner early. My husband and I are night owls so this took some adjustment for us. That's no reflection on the property but might be helpful to others that don't know.

Dream Vacation

Where do I start? First thing you notice—all the gorgeous plants. The place is covered in beautiful tropical flora and fauna. The cottages are lovely and perfect. Everything is new and clean. Lorraine? She’s the best! My husband and I enjoyed partaking and discussing all her plants. She has whatever you need for your Caribbean vacation. And it’s super close to lots of gorgeous beaches, beautiful ruins, local artists, restaurants and coffee shops. 10 out of 10, I recommend. We’ll be back soon!

Beautiful Hilltop Cottage

Beautiful cottage with an amazing view. You are further away from restaurants/shopping but it didn’t bother us one bit. Lorraine lives right above rental and was very helpful with snorkeling spots and very friendly and inviting. The pool was amazing and very relaxing after hiking nearby and just a busy travel day. Not at ALL a complaint just a side note, the lane is more of a level B. Highly suggest having a SUV or jeep. Driveway is very steep BUT duable. Was a little slick getting up in the rain. Secondly, there was no hot water for showering. Took a little getting used to but Hey, they say cold showers are good for you. Will hopefully be returning for an anniversary.

Pure Paradise

I have so many beautiful things to say about Hannah and Lorraine’s property. My daughter and I stayed here for her 16th birthday celebration. A week was far too short. Coral Bay is an amazing area to stay and our cottage at Garden of Eden was perfection. We have been to St. John many times and enjoy that quiet area of the island, especially since all of this Covid. The cottage was clean, comfortable and perfect. Huge and comfortable bed. The kitchen had everything we needed as we mostly had takeaway from the local restaurants in Coral Bay. The WIFI was fast and the smart TVs were perfect for my daughter’s need to watch her Netflix shows. The pool is is cold, refreshing and a must after your day at the beach. I went skinny dipping. It was glorious. Thank you so much Lorraine and Hannah. We love you and can’t wait to come back.
