Unique!

My husband and I just returned from our 10 day stay at CC. The villa is just as described on the website. It was clean, well maintained and location to surrounding attractions perfect. The views were awesome, the balcony at night could not be beat! We saw more shooting stars then ever in my life and the full moon was incredible. The singing of the tree frogs and crickets went on until daybreak at which time you then heard the happy chirping of the yellow sugar birds gathering around demanding more sugar in their feeder! And you also had the crazy white cat yowling for attention and food! He was funny and a welcome visitor! Although the cabin is small it was more than adequate and very quaint.The new shower downstairs is so incredible! Yes, getting in and out of bed was a bit of an exercise in agility (not for elder or disabled folks) but just added to the uniqueness of the place! The view while laying in bed was wonderful! We would be up with the sun at 6:15 and out exploring the many beaches by 8:00 am each day-returning to CC late in the afternoon to enjoy the cool breezes, drinks on the deck and relaxing! Dining in Coral Bay was a bit limited but all very good and close by the CC. The owners were wonderful! The passion that she has for the island cannot be concealed! She was very helpful with arrangements and info prior to our arrival. We were lucky enough to meet her in person and her enthusiasm of her property and the island was infectious to say the least! She also sent us home with some sea salt from salt pond that she had collected herself. I would recommend CC for young adventurous people! It was very private and quiet and everything you could hope for! It is not on a busy road where cars/trucks/buses go by which is very important to us. St. John and the CC was a very memorable vacation and the snorkeling and beaches are the best! Be sure to rent a 4x4 vehicle so you can explore from sun up to sun down! And remember to keep left! ha!

Owner's Response: November is still "pre-season" here on St. John, so lots of the restaurants and shops on the island are not open.
Our other home, Horizons Cottage, is a bigger traditional home with beds that are easy to get into ...and has views even more incredible!
Thank you for the nice comments about Dan and me. We do want our guests to have a great time and fall in love the Captain's and St. John.
