About this property

Breathtaking Ocean Views from Every Room - Horizons Cottage

Our 2 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath open-concept home has amazing, panoramic views of the British Virgin Islands and the East end of St John, near beautiful Coral Bay, St. John, USVI. Perched above Johns Folly Bay, the wrap-around decks on the top floor provide plenty of space for outdoor dining and lounging, all with unbeatable views! The gentle trade winds make the decks a perfect place to relax, day or night, and watch the amazing sun and moon rises. This secluded spot for star gazing is fantastic.

Large picture windows provide unobstructed views from inside, while the lower screened louvers allow for the comfortable breeze to naturally cool the cottage. The kitchen has everything you’ll need to feel at home, and has plenty of space with granite countertops and a breakfast bar. Also upstairs is a dining area for 6, a half-bath, and a living area with a 50" smart TV. Convenient interior stairs lead to the lower bedroom level, where both bedrooms have their own ensuite bathrooms. One room has a king bed, the other two twins (that can be made into a king if requested).

UPDATE - We've made improvements in October and November of 2023! Some of the changes are new outdoor furniture, new dining table, fresh paint and staining, new light fixtures and ceiling fans, added a hammock, added a 50” framed TV, and FAST Starlink internet with battery backup. Professional photos will be taken but in the meantime we've posted some of our own....

Horizons is a private, tranquil cottage perfect for relaxing on the quiet side of St. John. Yet it’s only minutes away from Miss Lucy’s restaurant, Pizzabar in Paradise, and Calabash Market. 10 minutes to Coral Bay’s restaurants, bars, shops, and equipment rentals. Less than 1 mile to one of the best beaches on the island, Salt Pond Beach, and the scenic Ram Head trail. A few minutes further brings you into the National Park with more beaches and hikes to explore – the most secluded on the island.

The cottage is located near the end of a quiet, private, paved road. No traffic noise or bumpy, steep, rocky roads that require 4-wheel drive. You’ll have easy access to a peaceful getaway, surrounded by nature, the sound of the ocean below, and expansive views of the Caribbean Sea and surrounding islands.

Rates are based on 1 or 2 people. For 3 or 4 people another $50 each per night will be added to the rate. Please note the second bedroom/bathroom will be locked if the cottage is rented for 1 or 2 people.

Need a third bedroom? We also own a 1 bedroom, 1-1/2 bath cottage next door. Both are very private, but close enough to walk between the two. See photos for an aerial view of both properties. The VRBO link is: https://www.vrbo.com/2615917

Loved It
If you're looking for a great view, this one can't be beat. The wrap around deck allowed us to enjoy sun or shade at any time of the day. The home was comfortably furnished, & had excellent ventilation through louvered windows. Kitchen was set up well, and had everything we needed to make a quick meal. The Coral Bay area is laid back, and relatively uncrowded. Just what we were looking for! Salt Pond Bay beach parking is 3 minutes away, and snorkeling there is really good. Other great beaches are generally within a 20 minute car ride. Jeep recommended. Awesome.

Peace, beauty and what a view!
The place was just as described. It was totally comfortable and well-stocked with everything we needed. We were there as myself, my husband, our adult son and his girlfriend. We had a fabulous time, even with some rainy days, because the house was comfortable and the views from every room were breath-taking.

Great House with Amazing Views!
Horizons Cottage is awesome! This house is as advertised with plenty of space and spectacular views of John Folly’s Bay (and the British Virgin Islands in the distance) from both levels of house with lots of outdoor seating options. The picture window from the main bedroom downstairs was nothing short of breathtaking. Also, it was quiet. We heard the ocean 24 hours a day, crickets at night, and the gentle rustling of leaves (and palm fronds) from the breeze through nearby trees. The house was well stocked with all supplies, accessories, and linens any houseguest would need. Finally, a shout-out to the property manager who was a lifesaver! Not only was she friendly and responsive to all questions, she offered to drive (with us following in our rented Jeep) to the property on the first day. (We arrived near dark and would have easily gotten lost.) This was after she met us at one of the grocery stores and encouraged us to take our time buying whatever groceries we might want at the house. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Horizons cottage. We would definitely stay there again.

Breathtaking views
Beautiful getaway! My family had such a wonderful time in St John, and this house was perfect. Very clean and well kept. We had everything we needed!! The communication with the property owner/manager was fantastic. She gave me a lot of info prior to trip and answered all my questions. I would definitely come back to this house again!
