The was a lovely unique place. If you want something private and of the beaten bath this, is it. We enjoyed our stay. Had everything you need to go to the beach and snorkel. The kitchen had everything you need to cook. I did not expect to cook at all; we had great trouble finding parking. The supermarket had parking so received our business.

Highly recommend romantic getaway

My fiance and I stayed here for our trip in St. John. The property is absolutely beautiful, the interior is very cozy with very romantic lighting, great kitchen and utensils to cook. It is a studio but the AC and ventilation is great so even if you cook, there's no lingering smell. We absolutely loved the balcony and the view of the bay. The outdoor shower, bungalow, and hot tub were our favorite parts of the VRBO and make it one of a kind. Very well kept and clean, we would 100% return if we visit in the future. It was very private as well, you do not have to worry about any neighbors!

BEST VACATION EVER!!!

Everything was perfect. The house was spotless. My wife and I went for our 30th anniversary. We had the best time at the house. The outside shower, hot tub and bed were amazing. Every night we stayed outside until late night enjoying the view and excellent weather from the outdoor bed. Everything that we needed was available at the house. We grilled out a few nights on the upper deck and had better dinners than we had at most of the restaurants. We will definitely return. The place is a couples dream retreat!!!! I really can not say enough how absolutely beautiful, unique the place is. I would recommend it to everyone. Thank you to the Scott’s, Steve and Tracey

Newlywed Bliss

We enjoyed the Coconut Cottage immensely during our 7 day honeymoon. The flora, fauna, vistas and weather were spectacular! The location is off the beaten path on a hillside overlooking Chocolate Hole, so PLEASE be aware that you will need a vehicle if you intend to leave the cottage for anything. Thankfully the owners have 4WD SUVs and a catamaran for your rental. Another plus is the availability and support of the St John Villas staff: Will, Colby and Nellie provided exceptional care during our stay. We will be back again with family to experience a larger property in 2023.

Peaceful, Perfect, Private Paradise

So I was very skeptical when my husband booked this cottage for our 20 year anniversary, for the mere fact that the bathroom and showers are outdoor. But let me tell you….if you haven’t taken a shower outside in the middle of an oasis jungle setting, you are missing out!! Y’all! This place is nothing short of amazing! It’s close to everywhere you could possibly want to go and sometimes you never want to leave Coconut Cottage! They supply you with all amenities and even an open bar to drink from if you so choose! I could go on and on, but really you just need to experience it for yourself! Our ONLY complaint is the window unit doesn’t cool the room much, but then again, we really can’t complain because a lot of places there doesn’t even have air! We WILL be back! ❤️

Private Paradise

My husband and I celebrated our 15 year anniversary in St John and stayed here! All I can say is WOW. It is just off the beaten path enough to be very private but close enough to be 7 min away from everything. They did an excellent job with the lay out of the property. The outdoor living was amazing! Some of the best I’ve seen! I’d def do it again and recommend to friends!!

Visit to paradise

This little cottage is nothing short of amazing! The views, the interior design, and can we talk about the landscaping?!? The foliage and plant life are bigger than life and complete the whole experience. I was in awe the entire time. The charged water proof boom box was nice at night while we were soaking in the hot tub. Management was very attentive and welcoming. It was a little difficult to find the cottage at first but Marykae sent us great instructions that helped. Would give this place 20 stars if I could!!! Thank you for allowing us to stay!! Will be back 😍

Perfect location!

We loved the location, close enough to town and groceries but secluded and private. The outdoor shower is really nice. Kitchen has everything you need. And providing beach towels, chairs, cooler, umbrella and snorkel equipment was much appreciated. My only complaint was having to climb up into the bed, I have short legs so it was a bit of a challenge 😜. But if you know that beforehand it’s no problem. The cottage is cozy and the owners and managers are very responsive and just want you to have a memorable stay.

Tropical Oasis!

We just left yesterday and had an amazing week at the Coconut Cottage! Definitely use the directions on the map she emails you at first, we found it easily that way. The place is absolutely beautiful and we loved waking up and having coffee outdoors with the view. Our evenings were spent in the hot tub and days on the island beaches. The cottage provides everything you could need for the beach! It was so amazing to not have to worry about it. I loved the wildlife at this place...the little hermit crabs and lizards everywhere! Be careful walking down to the hot tub area, there are ALWAYS crabs on the steps and stones. I love them! The only bit of nature I didn’t care for were the mosquitos, but I am a magnet so I was prepared. The only recommendation I have for management is to clean the fan above the bed. It’s pretty dirty/dusty and some small webs going from it to the walls. Not a huge deal and the place was so amazing for us. We will definitely be back!

Amazing time!!!

My husband and I absolutely loved spending our 20th Anniversary in the Coconut Cottage. I was so hung up on the outdoor oasis, that I didn’t really pay attention to the cottage itself when booking and honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. The bed is a loft bed and requires some steps climbing into, which is not a problem at all for us, but had my elderly Mom rented, she would have never got up there so I figured I’d mention for future readers. For a minute I didn’t see a TV, but then when we seen the HUGE TV, my husband was sold😁. We bought a few groceries and the kitchen had everything needed to cook my breakfast items. The open bar was a nice touch, although I packed my own liquor so it was not used, but appreciated! I loved drinking my morning coffee on the front deck in the morning and looking out over the water. The first day there we seen a beautiful rainbow, and it set the tone of our entire trip. We went to the beach at Chocolate Hole, but unfortunately did not snorkel or kayak there, but we did use all the beach equipment provided at another beach. The noodles, snorkel gear, cooler, chairs and umbrella were a nice addition and will make any beach plans so much easier. Now to the best part: the outdoor oasis was nothing short of amazing. We spent the nights in the hot tub and plugged our phones into the large speaker for music. I loved the outdoor shower and used it every day over the main one. I loved the feeling of seclusion without completely being secluded. The owners and property manager were very helpful especially when I lost the primary email that had everything I needed and was asking 50 questions! I loved this cottage so much, and if you are reading this, I’m certain you will too!

Exactly what we were looking for.

Overall this place is an amazing little getaway. We found it pretty easily via the navigation app. The AC was on when we arrived and there was wine, cheese, crackers and a note to congratulate us. The area is adorable and we didn't leave for a couple days! SO relaxing. The outdoor shower, daybed and hot tub were perfect. We also enjoyed some snorkeling in the bay here one evening. We would definitely stay here again. In a time when customer service can be unreliable, and where things may not be marketed as they really are, this place is spot on and worth the money spent. Do not wait, just book this now.

About the host

Hosted by Marykae & Al

Host profile image
We are the Scott's, Al & Marykae, the owners of Lime in de Coconut, Utopia Peter Bay, Shangri-La Villa, The Beach Oasis Villa, The Palms Villa, Pirates Landing Villa, Coconut Cottage, Poseidon’s Retreat and Neptune's Retreat. Yes, that is a lot of villas on the island; it genuinely attests to our love of St John!! We love the quiet calm and natural beauty of the island!! It's a very special place with an enchanting town, gentle green hillsides, and crystal clear, turquoise blue tropical water.

We first started coming to the island as a couple in 2011 and rented various accommodations. After many frequent trips to the island, we decided that it's time to buy our own place; somewhere we can call home and that would encompass what we loved about our frequent stays. Waterfront, directly on the water was what we both loved and that was our number one criterion when searching. We saw Lime in de Coconut Villa advertised and immediately fell in love with it and bought it right then. All our family love the island and at our family gatherings, there's always a great story or fabulous memory shared. It's everyone's favorite place to vacation!! St. John is a magical piece of this earth full of amazing blessings from God and nature. We loved the villa so much that we got married at Lime In De Coconut in 2017!

In renting our villa we found that all of our guests loved the villa and we kept hearing time and time again it was there best ever vacation. It was from this that we decided to expand this into a little business and started to look for the perfect properties on St. john. We want all our guests to Love St John and have the best vacation possible as we do. We know you will catch the feel good vibes of the island and our villas too! This is our escape from reality-haaaa!!

Come on down have some fun and relaxation and when done take away memories of a life!

Why they chose this property

You can admire the view all day long, this is a private setting.....hidden by palms and tropical plants. Located in the upscale residential neighborhood Chocolate Hole. The property oozes with romance and tranquility.
