The Perfect Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: February 14, 2010 Stayed: January 2010
The Reef Bay Cottage was a great place to experience St. John. The cottage had everything we needed and more. The kitchen was well stocked with all the pots, pans, and utensils you can think of as well as beach chairs, umbrellas, and snorkeling gear. The bathroom was stocked as well, with shampoo, soap, lotion, and bug spray. I could have left my entire bathroom bag at home. The photos on the website matched the cottage exactly. The beach was a short walk away and provided the perfect setting for a quiet relaxing afternoon. The cottage is in a very peaceful area with the busy town of Cruz Bay only a short drive away. It was the perfect place for the perfect vacation.

Classy and Charming

5 of 5

Just returned from a week at heavenly Reef Bay Cottage. Seng, our hostess, was a pleasure to work with in setting up the rental, and was even more of a pleasure to meet. She is the on-site owner with her house and the pool for her guests' use situated privately from the cottage. Seng is readily available if you require her assistance, but otherwise affords her guests the utmost privacy. The cottage is attractively furnished in a simple but classy way, with a small but well-equipped kitchen, dining room, sitting room and lovely bedroom with blackout curtains, but who wants to sleep in while St. John awaits? We took full advantage of the terrace every morning to greet the day with our coffee, watching the surfers below. The road from Cruz Bay to RBC (10-15 minutes) is steep in spots, but well-maintained. We hope to return to this property again...soon! Thank you, Seng.

BEST rental house EVER!!!

5 of 5
Submitted: December 27, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
There isn't enough space here to write how much we LOVED our stay at the Reef Bay Cottage. Seng was the nicest and most helpful person the entire week we were there!!!! She went out of her way to help us when we needed it & we couldnt have been more grateful. The house was GORGEOUS!!!! It was exactly what we expected after seeing the pictures, if not better. Even though their house is on the same property we didnt even know it. Our house was secluded and private and we LOVED the view!! The house was extremely clean and had all the ammenities we needed for our week stay. We had to go up to the pool to get internet reception but that wasnt a problem at all. We found ourselves drinking our morning coffee at the pool, taking a early morning swim and catching up on any "internet" things we needed. It worked out perfectly!!! I would recommend this rental property to anyone. We will definitely be returning to St John and will be staying at the lovely Reef Bay Cottage :) Thanks for everything Seng!!!! -Kim & Jim Schoff :)

Reef Bay Cottage

5 of 5
Submitted: July 30, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
Reef Bay Cottage is a very nice vacation rental. It is very clean and well appointed.
We were guests in the cottage for two weeks at the end of June, 2012. Seng, the owner, was extremely helpful in making the reservation but also in helping us find out about other things to do on St. John. She really went out of her way to accommodate my family and I. The location is great because it is away from the crowds, if there are any, but still only about a 15 minute drive to Cruz Bay. We felt as if we were a little secluded but not too far away from town if we needed to run to the market for something. Seng does a very nice job stocking the cottage with most toiletries and condiments that the average person would need during their stay. The kitchen is also well equipped with anything you would need for cooking. The beach chairs, coolers, and washer/dryer are a few other great things that she provided. You could really bring just a few changes of clothes and be fine. The pool area is located just up the hill below the owners house, which is also where you have to go to use the wifi signal. We only used the pool a few times but it was very nice when we did. It would be nice to have wifi in the cottage but due to its location it is not possible, they have tried. If one thing could be improved in the cottage it would be the windows that face the ocean, some are starting to show the normal cloudy deposits between the glass that you get with an ocean facing window, but that is it.
The beach that is below the cottage is about a 10 minute walk, the trail is steep but it was easily negotiated by my wife and 6 year old son. There are steps built into it and ropes to hold onto if you need them. As long as you can negotiate a step that is knee high you will be fine. The beach is nice for walking, but not great for swimming due to larger than average surf and abundance of sea urchins in certain areas. If you surf its one of the best beaches on the island.
I would recommend this cottage to anyone with a family of 2-4 people, the downstairs portion of the cottage would be great for teenagers. The mosquito's were not a problem except in the very early mornings when the trade winds were hardly blowing. Not sure if this is normal for June but it was good for us. Some of the places we enjoyed: Sam and Jack's Deli, Margarita Phil's, Woody's, The Banana Deck, The Beach Bar, sailing and snorkeling on Survivan, and there really isnt a bad beach on the island.

Perfect Honeymoon!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 7, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
My husband and I honeymooned here for a week. This was our 4th time returning to St. John, so we have become pretty particular about the houses we rent. This house was PERFECT. The kitchen had everything we needed for the many meals we ate in, there were beach towels and chairs, a couple of different sized cooler options, lots of DVDs, and Seng even provided us with a beach bag when we checked in. The cottage was clean and very well decorated. We were provided with an AT&T cell phone that we could use during the week to send/receive texts and phone calls. This was a huge help as we did not have a cell phone that worked on the island (AT&T is pretty much the only carrier with service down there). The pool is up the hill and basically attached to the main house, but we never saw Seng or Michael during our stay, so I would consider it private. We spent many hours on the balcony watching surfers and star gazing. We hiked th beach to the Reef Bay Trail from the house and up to the petroglyphs, which gave us a chance to see Genti and Reef Bays from the beach which we'd never done before. Seng was a wonderful hostess and even let us stop by early on the day of check in to drop our bags and refrigerated food items, as we wanted to hit the beach but had a soft top Jeep with no back windows. She also had a bottle of champagne waiting for us in the refrigerator, which we opened on our one week anniversary at Jumbie Beach. The second bedroom downstairs that can be rented is just as nice as the rest of the house, so we will absolutely be back and might even bring friends with us next time! We truly had a perfect honeymoon and have this wonderful cottage to thank for that!
