Photos and Description of the Johns Folly vacation cottage rental
*** End of Season Special - $150 off open weeks in May, June, July ***

2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, spectacular views, sleeps 4, peaceful ocean overlook.....

Tradewinds Cottage is perched high above John's Folly Bay in the quiet southeastern corner of St. John. Forty minutes from Cruz Bay, we are just a one minute drive to Salt Pond Beach. Enjoy beautiful sunsets from the deck and fall asleep to the sound of waves on the beach below.

This charming wood cottage features light, airy rooms with stunning ocean views throughout. The deck commands a panoramic view of the British Virgin Islands, and a southeastern exposure offers breathtaking sunrises - if you're up that early! Steady tradewinds keep the house cool on hot days and ensure bug-free evenings.

Tradewinds can be rented as a one-bedroom unit with access to just the upper level featuring a living room/eating area/kitchen, one bedroom, and one bathroom. Or, for more space, the whole house can be rented, with access to two levels - one bedroom on each level. The lower level - down an enclosed outside stairway - features another beautiful bedroom with sliders to private balcony, and bathroom with ocean views. This set-up designed for maximum privacy between two bedrooms - each with its own private bath. This set-up is NOT good for small children, as bedrooms are far apart and access between levels is via a covered outside stairway. The choice is yours, one bedroom or two!

Spectacular

5 of 5
Submitted: February 10, 2009 Stayed: January 2009
We loved this place! My husband and I went for a relaxing vacation and this was just the place. The views were spectacular, the cottage was immaculate, and everything we needed was at hand. The CD collection was amazing, providing a variety of genres, the kitchen was well equipped, and for the beach there were towels, beach chairs, snorkel and fins, picnic baskets, water bottles, etc.

At the cottage we found information about which trails to hike, beaches to explore, where the best snorkeling can be found, restaurants to pursue, stores to shop, stars to name, boats to sail, and excursions to join.

Lois checked in with us twice during the week; if there was anything we needed, she was there. Their friend and housecleaner was also available for questions, but the best was that she is also a massage therapist and acupunturist. I fully intended to take advantage, but the week went so fast, that we didn't have time.

Ah, yes. We left saying that one week was surely not long enough. I guess we'll have to return to get that massage, experience the beaches and trails that we didn't have time to get to, eat at those restaurants that the good folks in St. John told us not to miss, and next time we're bringing back a few bottles of coconut rum!

Dreaming of being back at Tradewinds

5 of 5
Submitted: November 11, 2012 Stayed: November 2011
I intended to write a review promptly after our vacation one year ago. As my husband and I looked at the calendar and dreamed of heading there again in a couple of weeks, we realized we never wrote the review that Tradewinds and its owners so deserve. Better late than never...

Tradewinds cottage was absolutely perfect for us. Clean, modern, airy, beautifully finished and furnished - with everything you might need accounted for - perfect and gorgeous location and view, each room had something unique and special about it. My favorite was the bathroom with the window in the shower overlooking the bay below. So very peaceful.

It would be fun to bring friends next time; the cottage is well laid out for such a setup with a private bedroom and bath downstairs.

We loved being on the Coral Bay side of the island. It is quieter and yet there is plenty to do and good restaurant options as well. The snorkeling is superb with locations close to the cottage - we were in heaven! We tried restaurants that others wrote about in the guest journal left by the owners in the cottage (another nice touch) and had delicious island food! Also, with the full kitchen in the cottage, it suited our needs for casual breakfasts in the cottage and packing light lunches for days spent out adventuring.

If staying on Coral Bay side, you will want to rent a Jeep, especially if you are the adventurous type.

We thoroughly enjoyed Lois and Doug's music collection and books - yet another nice touch. (We think we are from the same era.)

One more thing... when we arrived, we were welcomed by the wild donkies in the neighborhood! We enjoyed their company during our stay.

We did not want to leave Coral Bay or Tradewinds and we will definitely be back!
Owner's Response: thank you so much for the great review! we are so glad you had a great time on St. John, and at Tradewinds Cottage... we hope you can come back soon! Lois and Doug, Tradewinds Cottage

Tradewinds cottage is a charming hilltop villa with breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea and nearby islands. It feels like your own private island hideaway. The house is beautifully decorated, and feels relaxing and revitalizing all at the same time. We've stayed in Tradewinds Cottage for 7 years in a row, and will keep coming back!!

Paradise!

Submitted: August 11, 2011 Stayed: April 2011
Paradise! TradeWinds was the perfect week getaway for us! Lois the owner, made everything so easy for us. It's 5 minutes from Salt Pond Beach and other southern beaches with an amazing view of St.Johns Folly Bay. The cottage had everything that we needed for a great stay. It was clean and cute. We couldnt believe how beautiful the view from the deck was(pictures don't do it justice). Nothing was better than watching the sun come up, while having breakfast and listening to reggae. Internet and stereo all provided as well as many other useful amenities that we used throughout our stay. The restaurants in coral Bay were the best. Aqua Bistro, Sweet Plantains, Shipwreck Landing, Donkey Diner(best breakfast)and Tourist Trap (a minute walk). The grill was great too as we stayed in a couple nights and made our own dinner. Just what the Dr. ordered!!!
