The location is perfect for enjoying the quiet side of St. John. The cottage has everything you need to cook great meals & be prepared for the beach or whatever adventure awaits you. It was very clean and had all the modern conveniences you would ever need with the charm of ST John. The hosts were attentive and great communicators. Awesome Visit!

Miss Leo was friendly and welcoming and escorted us to the home. The cottage was very comfortable for our family of four, and well-equipped for meals, as well as providing chairs for the beach. The setting is quiet and peaceful, and the view is beautiful and restful! We especially enjoyed the sunrises. Picking star fruit from the tree by the patio was a fun novelty, and the guide book “St. John: Off the Beaten Track” was very informative and useful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

This is the perfect location if you want to be away from it all but still be close to everything. The location was quiet and serene. We loved having coffee on the porch in the morning with the gorgeous view. Every day there were birds singing, cute lizards running about, and hummingbirds in the trees. Most beaches and trails were only about a 15 minute drive. Highly recommend. Would definitely stay here again.

Exceptional - highly recommend!

We celebrated our anniversary with a trip to the USVI. This property was the perfect spot for us to call home for a week while we explored all that St. John has to offer. We appreciated the "quiet side" of the island. This cottage is well located and easy to access, with convenient parking. The entire rental process was smooth and simple. The space is clean and comfortable with everything you need for your time at the beach. Of course the obvious highlight is the view - which is spectacular! I would highly recommend a stay at this property - it enhanced our trip to the Virgin Islands!

Nice cottage with a great view

This is a nice option if staying on the Coral Bay side of the Island. The view is beautiful, as pictured, and the house was clean. There were some bugs, but that is probably part of island living.The house ran out of gas during our stay so we were unable to use the stove and dryer, but this was resolved by the end of the day. Management was responsive. Upon checkout, they claimed that 12 towels were missing, but we had put them in the washer as requested.

Compact cottage with fantastc view

It's our second time staying here and hopefully we will be able to return again. We love staying on the quiet East end of St John and rarely return to Cruz Bay until it's time to leave. Rented some paddle boards for the week this time and explored all the small bays you can see from the deck. The kitchen is well equiped and we used the grill almost every night. Fresh fish for sale at the Calabash market was a plus.

Idyllic island retreat

Clean, cute and comfortable cottage! We loved sitting in the deck in the late afternoon with cocktails while looking out at peaceful Hurricane Hole after a day spent snorkeling at the beaches in Coral Bay or the North Shore. The kitchen was well stocked so we made dinner 5 of 7 nights with grilled fresh fish and fresh veggies from the Calabash Market. We enjoyed nightly stargazing on the deck and even a visit from a herd of donkeys it was a perfect retreat for a couple.

Perfect Getaway

Sugarview was the perfect villa for us! Situated on the quiet side of the island, we enjoyed outstanding views, beautiful night sky’s and privacy. The house was wonderfully equipped with beach chairs, snorkeling gear, back pack cooler. Everything that we needed for a comfortable stay was provided. Secluded location but close to restaurants, beaches and boat charters. Cruz Bay was only a 25 minute drive. We will be back! Karen & Art

Gorgeous view from balcony

House is in perfect condition and almost everything is new. Balcony was private and quiet. No one was staying at nearby house on property. The view from the balcony was mostly ocean and National Forest. Truly beautiful. Easy to access from Coral Bay in jeep. Grocery stores nearby. We would happily return.

Clear Starry Nights

Great property. It is as described. Location is great if you like quiet seclusion. There is very little light pollution, so the night sky is spectacular. I’ve never seen so many bright stars. There is no noise either. So quiet and peaceful. The sunrises were spectacular. We visited Coral Bay restaurants and we drove across to Cruz Bay too. Nothing is too far away. This is a good location to explore the entire island.

The best VRBO option on St. John

This place was truly amazing. Everything about the property and hosts were top notch. They thought of every detail to make sure you had a comfortable stay. The couple items we forgot, they had! The setting is beautiful, the pictures on the listing do the view no justice. It is in a perfect location, a bit up the road from Coral Bay, but just a few minutes from everything. Comfortable beds, laundry, fully stocked kitchen, modern updates. It couldn’t have been any better. If you’re thinking about it… just do it… you won’t regret it.

Great place with great views

We had a lovely stay in the cottage for our honeymoon! It's a great property with incredible views and the stars at night are amazing. The kitchen is well equipped and we were super happy to see the air fryer! This is a super convenient location to stay. Definitely try out the Pink Corner if it's open. The check-in process was a little bumpy as we had to wait extra time for a greeter to meet us (not her fault - road was blocked). I think we would have been fine with just a self check-in since the door has a passcode lock and the villa's easy to find. Additionally, note that if there is a family in the larger villa next door you will hear children playing in the pool, so it's not as secluded/peaceful depending on who is in the house next door. It's still a lovely space, very clean, with an incredible balcony view and comfy accommodations!

Great Vacation Spot

This is a great property. The location is rural, but that's why you went on vacation in the first place; to get away from it all. Had a few issues with the WiFi and gas stove, but the owner was responsive and addressed the issues. This should be corrected going forward. The house is very clean and the owner just updated the interior. Everything was new. I liked the pantry have some items for cooking, I also left a few items I did not use. I would recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Rauh

Host profile image
We fell in love with the beauty of St John on our first visit and purchased this beautiful house shortly after. We wanted to share this incredible beauty with others! We have made great effort to fully stocked the house with every item you will need to enjoy your time on St John.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property because of beautiful views of Hurrican Hole, the peaceful Cruz Bay, the proximity to the national park (adjacent to property), wildlife (donkeys, goats, and deer are regular visitors), and its proximity to the great beaches of St John. This house will mesmerize you with the view and give you all the comforts of home.
