About this property

Great Breeze, Tesla Solar Storage, Airy, Open, Peaceful & Ideal 'Work From Home'

Catch and Keep is just what so many budget-minded travelers dream of finding. For less than the price of a condominium or trendy eco-tent you can experience living in a real island home- built to capture the Trade Winds with 1/2 acre set in Nature. The cottage is comfortable, tastefully decorated, and best of all, authentic. The affordable pricing may let you stay longer, or treat yourself to a day sail or massage. With today's emphasis on 'eco-tourism' you can experience how a 'traditional' island-style home fits into its environment in ways that appreciate the culture and architecture of the island and respects it unique environment.

In scenic Coral Bay, 'Catch 'n' Keep' is a charming, West Indies-style home. Just ten to 15 minutes from nearby white sand beaches, the cottage sits on a half acre of wooded hillside, with a panoramic view of the Carolina valley and its stone sugar mill ruins. Plants and trees native to the environment have been encouraged and a large variety of native birds feel at home in the neighborhood.

Catch 'n' Keep is nestled in a quiet cul de sac off a secondary road with only neighbors passing by, with shaded parking right next to the entrance. Three small markets nearby make relaxing easier , as do a choice of eateries for those who really want to 'wind down' Well-sited to catch the cooling Tradewinds, the cottage is fully screened and Hunter ceiling fans are more than sufficient. Six large double doors open onto two covered decks where you can grill out with a Weber gas grill and dine in the fresh air. Or lounge in the hammock or deck couchand enjoy the country view, tropical breezes, and beautiful sunrises and starry evening sky.

The full kitchen is charmingly decorated with folk art and hand-painted ceramics collected by the owner in her travels. The bathroom features native stonework in the shower and full amenities. A comfortable queen-size bed with four pillows and sun-dried cotton linens awaits you.

The cottage is thoughtfully appointed for your comfort, and includes guidebooks, WiFI,and and streaming, lots of vacation reading, and games. You will also find beach chairs, beach towels, and coolers for your beach days. A variety of restaurants, eclectic shopping, kayaking, hiking, and live music are conveniently nearby in the Coral Bay area. Not as developed as the Cruz Bay side of island, you will find Coral Bay less trafficked, more relaxing and exactly your dream of what an island get-away should be like with not trying to find downtown Cruz Bay parking

About the host

Hosted by Judith Kane

Host profile image
Originally from Massachusetts, retired to St. John after 30 years teaching Northern New Mexico. I travel and have learned from different cultures (at heart, we are more the same than different in what we want for our children, our lives, our world).

Why they chose this property

The cottage is comfortable and well-stocked for your visit while offering you the chance to experience something different, that is respectful of the local St. Johnian culture. I wanted to live more simply, with less but enough. My guest reviews affirm it succeeds.

What makes this property unique

The less-developed Coral By side of St. John attracted me due to the "Personality" of the community, a 'mix' of residents, old-time values, new ideas.
the cottage feels private, yet close to all Coral Bay has to offer. This is an opportunity to EXPERIENCE what living in an actual West Indian style 'island house' might be like, rather than a concrete condo-style rental. 'Green' living is highlighted (working with native plants only, adapting to terrain rather forcing it to fit building plans, plus simpler, timeless solutions to daily living. Birds abound and so does peace and quiet.
