7 Reviews of Property 391011 in Chocolate Hole, Virgin Islands

My memory often floats back to this beautifully sited cottage. I've stayed here a few times and I have to pinch myself each time over the beauty and serenity. The cottage is comfortable, immaculate, and induces a sense of peace and well-being as soon as you enter. I especially love the luxurious shower! Imagine taking in pleasing views of the sea while rinsing off after a perfect day at your favorite beach. Another nod to the sublime is the immediate setting. Gorgeous gardens and an inviting pool beckon. I always love a quick dip under the stars and moon to cap off an enchanted day. It all happens here at Chocolate Hole.

This is the place to stay if you want to get in touch with nature while residing in a charming cottage. The setting is totally idyllic. The cottage sits on top of a hillside overlooking the bay, surrounded by a beautiful garden, which is a combination of tropical and desert vegetation. I loved seeing the hummingbirds flying through the garden. The cottage has the flavor of an English cottage with all the comforts of home. Best of all, after returning from the beach each day, we were able to relax on our porch, barbecue our dinner, take a swim in the pool, and then soak in the hot tub under the stars. I am looking forward to staying there next year.

The pictures do not give this charming cottage it's due. The gardens were beautiful and the cottage was georgous. Margaret was very welcoming and you should take her suggestion about the reef bay trail. My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay and we would highly recommend it to anyone.

Let me start this review, with a warm thank you to Miss Maragret. She is a wonderful Inn Keeper, and very helpful for our first visit to St John's. Her cottage is the most romantic, one bedroom cottage we have ever had the privledge of using. Very classey, clean and well equiped, with the additional unexpected luxury items we found there, Wine, Cheese, Cracker, Godiva Chocolate and fresh Passion Fruit. Thick fresh towels. a awesome shower with dutch doors that opened to the side porch, we only opened the top portion. The private pool and hot tub are a nice extra, but we were there for the beaches, and from the cottage and surrounding property the views of the water was perfect. Things that I personally like to find at a rental, beach chairs and a cooler are provided, along with snorkling gear, and floats. Even though we only spent a few days on St. John's, it felt like a lot longer, it is that relaxing. Cruz Bay is just about five minutes by car and any beach you want is just a few more minutes away or closer, if you go down to Chocolate Hole. A couple of tips... rent a car or jeep thru Orbitz's website, we choose a sub compact SUV and got a full size Jeep for less than $50 a day from Budget, and took it over to St John's by ferry. Contact Lowkey dive shop to make a divetrip, we did a Discovery Dive for our very first dive ever, and the Divemaster Ben and Captain Bob were really great, have a drink at Woody's or a couple a more, best drinks in town and a great prices. Eat grilled lobster at the Lime Inn, Rich is great and the chef prepares the meals perfectly, don't judge it against Maine lobster it not the same, you are in the Caribbean. Do the snokling tour at Trunks Bay, follow the markers, forget the perfectionest, it is worth the so called crowds. Stop at the Star Market and grab lunch, $6.99
lots of good food, Yeah, we had jerk chicken, you are in the Caribbean, pick up a hitchhiker, they need a ride, because the next time it could be you. And if you are from North Carolina, stop in at High Tide Restaurant for some great food and drinks, these folks do Carolina proud, plus they have Banks beer, if you never had a Banks Beer from Bardados, it the fresh tasting beer in the world. Just remember you are a guest of the people on St John's, slow down and thank your lucky stars that you are there. Miss Maragret, thank you for a great time.

Having been to this amazing spot a few times, I can't begin to describe the beauty, the serenity, the pitch perfect experience it was to be a guest of this cottage. Perfectly manicured grounds, breath taking views, very convenient location as it is minutes to St John's downtown area full of restaurants, bars and beaches. St John boasts some of the most amazing beaches on the planet, and this cottage offers an amazing compliment with its salt water pool and hot tub. Whether you are looking to spend your days on the beach swimming and snorkeling, going for hikes, or just lounging around in a hammock by the pool, Margaret's cottage supplies everything you need for the ultimate Caribbean getaway !!!! Can't recommend enough ...
