Blue Wrasse - Cute Little Cottage with Gorgeous Deck Views

Wonderful location for a family on a budget. Expanded deck with outdoor dining and lounging. Lower level renovated in 2018 with new half bath added and new flooring and deck! Gorgeous views of Coral Bay. Cute little cottage (this is not a luxury villa) sleeps up to 6: two on queen size bed in bedroom, two in king size bed in the loft, and two on the pullout futon. KJKitchen is fully stocked with all the necessary utensils, plates, cups, and cooking supplies.

This cottage sits at the bottom of the lot and thus has many steps (82) down to the unit. This cottage is probably not for the elderly.

The cottage has air conditioning throughout, with the exception of the screened in porch and screened-in bathroom - what a view from the full bathroom! The bathroom was also recently renovated.

Relax on the deck and porch while sipping cocktails looking at the boats anchored just below. Plenty of nearby restaurants and beaches to keep you busy all day long!

In order to keep our rental rates as low as they are, the cottage only comes with 1 bath towel, 1 washcloth, and 1 beach towel per registered guest per week and linens for the number of registered guests at arrival. The cottage does not include in-stay housekeeping or towel/linen service. If you would like in-stay cleaning services you can arrange that directly with our on-island managers at your own cost. Additionally, if you feel you may need more at your arrival, please ask when making your reservation to pre-pay for 1 additional of each towel per person per week ($50 for 2 guests, $75 for 4 guests, and $100 for 6 guests) and we will add that fee to your reservation. There are several laundromats on the island as well if you would prefer to clean your own towels during your stay.

For those who have been to St John before you can rest easy that the road to the house is a concrete straightaway with no switchbacks!

An amazing stay at Blue Wrasse. It came recommended from friends and was exactly the type of accomodations that fit us. We felt a part fo the landscape and place. Easy access to everything on the east end. We explored some remote bays and enjoyed the incredible views every morning and evening.

We loved everything about the Blue Wrasse. We started every day with coffee and the fabulous view from the deck. The cottage was well stocked with everything we needed, the bed was comfy, and did I mention the view from the deck? We were sad to leave. The Blue Wrasse made our trip.

Perfect location for access to beaches, hiking and restaurants. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking essentials plus some spices, oils, etc.which made cooking at "home" quick and easy. Sunrise greets you every morning from the very comfortable downstairs bedroom and moorise from the spacious deck is a perfect end to every day. The lush vegetation around the house made it feel secluded and very private. The chairs and cooler at the house made for perfect beach days. The pictures and description were spot on and we would definitely love to stay at Blue Wrasse on another trip to St. John.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The house is the perfect mix of cozy and well-equipped, with an incredibly comfortable bed that made for great sleep. We spent every morning on the deck with coffee; the sunrise views are breathtaking and make every step of those stairs completely worth it.The property felt like a secluded tropical retreat. We loved the local "neighbors", from wild goats on the road to hermit crabs under the stairs and geckos on the deck. The nighttime sounds of the wildlife were so soothing. A huge thank you to the property managers, Leonarda and Nina, who were kind, helpful, and made us feel right at home. A beautiful stay in a stunning area!

We had a great time visiting the Blue Wrasse. The place was as advertised with a beautiful deck and a great view. The outdoor shower was a nice amenity, along with a well stocked kitchen. The site manager was very responsive and helpful. I got stung by a wasp going down the stairs, so be careful of nests there. Also, water is not potable so will need to bring your own water. All considered, was a great stay!

Wonderful week!

Great location near Coral Bay, super close to the market, restaurants, as well as some incredible beaches such as Salt Pond. Very clean property and check in and out was smooth. The deck was very well-kept, and they had all the amenities needed for a great stay. Would absolutely stay at Blue Wrasse again!

This little cottage had everything for our anniversary week! The view was breathtaking. Jungle sounds in lazy Coral Bay are just the best! Please note- there are ALOT of stairs up/down to the property so those with mobility issues should opt out. Great place!

Quick Stay at Blue Wrasse

I love Coral Bay so I asked my best friend and one of my sisters to join me for warm-up during a very cold and long Northeast winter. We ate in some (kitchen has everything one should need), dined out locally (Skinny Legs and Johnny Limes’s), toured the island in a rented Jeep, swam at Maho. Heavenly.

Wonderful Stay

Blue Wrasse is the perfect place to stay if you want to get away from the busier Cruz Bay side of the island. The view is fantastic but still conveniently close to the stores and restaurants of Coral Bay. Tom and Jackie, the property managers, were so nice and helpful and gave us lots of tips on what to see and where to go. Will definitely be back next time I’m on St John!

Spectacular view!

This is a lovely property. It is private and well stocked. The outstanding view from the deck, especially at sunrise, offsets the 86, slippery when wet, steps to get to the cottage. The location is get. We are partial to the Coral Bay area. So, this was a great find.
