Summary: This cottage was perfect for my family of three. We took the main floor bedroom and our 18-year-old daughter had the lower level. Our host, Seng, was very helpful and has great attention to detail! She knows the area well and gave us advice and recommendations many times. We enjoyed our stay immensely!

Summary: Everything my husband and I could want at our fingertips. Super clean and well looked after. Comfortable indoors and out. Fabulous view with a great almost private beach minutes away. Great helpful host. Hard to find a better place on the island.

Summary: Reef Bay Cottage is an exceptional property offered by an outstanding host, Seng.! The listing pictures almost do it justice! The cottage was very clean and well equipped. Offers sufficient space to gather (we had four total people) and the split level allowed us to spread out when needed. The pool was very refreshing and easily accessible. The neighborhood is very quiet and a pleasant 10-15 min drive to Cruz Bay or Coral Bay. Seng was an excellent resource for St John and St Thomas and provided many thoughtful treats. Thank you, Seng - hope to stay with you again soon!

Summary: This is the lowest rating I have ever given a property but this was just not it for us. Starting with the positives: Cottage was cute and bed was comfortable. It was also clean when we arrived. The view out the back was really pretty. Most all of the houses on the street were really nice and it felt safe. It was very quiet and peaceful. Now the negatives: Last time we visited our villa owner greeted us at the rental car location and we followed them to the villa. It was getting dark and even with GPS the actual road you turn on is marked horrible. We had paddle boards delivered and the company warned us of how awful it was to find and gave us more details then Seng did which helped get us down the right road but then the house is also very hard to find in the dark so we had to call Seng. When we got in the house was 84 degrees! We texted Seng when we were on the Ferry and she could have easily turned on the AC and ran the fans to make our arrival more comfortable. She then asks you to turn the AC off (3 thermostats) every time you leave and when we didn't do that the first day she texted us to please turn it off making it feel like Big Brother which is not what you want on vacation. The front door was so messed up when we got there but we managed to get it shut and locked but one day we were going to be late to our charter so we texted her to ask her to lock it because it just wouldn't shut. She said why didn't you tell me this when it first happened. We told her on day 2 and we really just like to lay low and not complain and just enjoy vacation and thought we could deal with it and make it work but she made us feel like we broke the door which is very unprofessional. She had just told us that the clients before us were so hard on everything and blew up the microwave so my guess would have been it was them. We had our 16 year old daughter and her friend with us and the lower bedroom has no tv and very spotty internet so they were very bored in the evenings when we ended our day and that would be the biggest reason this place is not for us. And the view out the back is stunning BUT the pictures don't show how bad the electrical poles are running right through the view. That really takes away from the view. And the pool! We wouldn't step foot in the pool! Water is murky and there are 2 other houses around it and it doesn't feel private at all. Next time I will book in Cruz Bay. Reef Bay is just too far removed from everything.

Summary: This was our first trip to St John and had no idea what we were doing when planning, I ran across this VRBO and the incredible amenities, views, and then the reviews were outstanding. I just had a good feeling this was the place we needed to stay. Seng the owner immediately reached out to me after I booked it and for the next few months helped me tremendously with tips and advice. She even sent a thoughtful package for my teenage girls to put in their stockings at Christmas as this trip was a surprise. Once we arrived she greeted us and showed us around. These pictures do not do this cottage justice. It is gorgeous, so clean, decorated so beach and fun! She also had thought of everything that you need when traveling so far from home. She even had fresh cut flowers scattered throughout! And the views!!!!! Words cannot describe the views. We sat on the patio every morning and evening. The pool is also so convenient over looking the ocean. I cannot say enough positive comments about our experience in St John and staying at the Reef Bay Cottage. We were all so sad to leave but know we will be back!!! The trip would not have been the same without Seng. She even saved our boat outing when our Jeep was dead and rushed over to help us get it jumped started. The most magical amazing week ever!!!

Summary: Cottage is clean and kitchen well appointed. Walk down to the beach is nice and good access to the Reef Bay trail. I was disappointed by our hostess. Not welcoming on check in and when we had no water in the cottage, it took multiple texts and calls to get a response from Seng. Also the swimming pool area is not in good shape. The pool is dirty, the outdoor furniture in disrepair and pool deck not clean. Location is ok.

Summary: This home was just we needed to enjoy our St. John stay. Seng communicated clearly and was so helpful every step of the way. The kitchen was well appointed for any meal we wanted to cook or grill outside, as well as a blender for our frozen cocktails! The beds were comfortable and the house was incredibly clean. It was hard to leave the patio, and it's view, each day to explore the island. There are a lot of steps to get up to the house, and also up to the pool . As noted in the description, the downstairs bedroom is completely separate from the upstairs, but can be accessed by exterior spiral stairs. Beach chairs, 2 coolers , pool noodles, and beach towels were provided, so we only needed to rent snorkel gear, to fully take part in all that St. John offers. The hike to the beach from the house is challenging, and not really a beach to lay out on. My husband enjoyed the challenge and hiked all around. There are an abundance of other beaches to explore. The island is very mountainous, so we were very glad we rented a jeep. We were sad to leave, and hope to come back soon!

Summary: The cottage is perfect and the view is amazing. The owners thought of every detail and were quick to respond to questions during our stay. We recommend making dinner reservations very early because most restaurants were booked weeks in advance. We made some reservations but wanted more. Luckily, the cottage is stocked well and we had everything needed for cooking dinner after a long day on the water or at the beach. Location is about 15 min away from town and we found it to be very private, quiet and relaxing. The outdoor shower was a huge plus as well.

Summary: We had a great time at the cottage! The location is so peaceful and quiet, but still just a few minutes to town. Very comfortable and clean house with a wonderful view. We all really enjoyed the pool and loved our snorkeling adventures at beautiful St. John beaches!

Summary: I can't say enough good things about our stay!This was our first visit to St. John. I was traveling with my 2 teenage daughters and my older sister. The rental was perfect for our needs. The view is absolutely gorgeous and the place is spotless! A drive is required to get to most places, but that is required wherever you stay. The owners went out of their way many times during our stay. Michael even got a splinter out of my daughter's foot. It was deep and we had tried many times. Seng assured us that we could drive in the evenings. We were very nervous about that. She recommended places to explore, where to get the best drinks and eat. One thing that did not require a drive was exploring Reef Bay. We spent an entire day walking around. It was a beautiful walk from the villa. We spent all day snorkeling, walking the Sugar Mill trail and talking to a few locals. Stay here and you will not regret it!
