Cactus Flower Cottage - a Charming Quiet Retreat with Ocean View

My wife and I liked the location, which was in a very quiet area with little traffic and a beautiful view of Fish Bay from the upper porch. We felt very safe while staying there. The inside was furnished very nicely and had everything we needed. It felt like home. We also liked the unique outside shower. Joe, the property owner, was very nice and helpful.

Wonderful place and wonderful hosts. Really enjoyed the stay!

Absolutely fantastic stay once again. Joe and Tina are the best hosts and their cottage is perfection. Couldn’t recommend more!!!

Second time staying in the home. I’ll say to anyone traveling to the area, this is the go to!! Home was far enough outside of town that we didn’t feel like true tourist (we were, but you get it). The host were very communicative and helpful through the check in process and our leave day. Pete the cat was also a wonderful host while the owners were away

Incredible place to visit and very responsive hosts

The cottage was lovely. I’d say the only confusion in the description was whether it was near a beach. There was a beach nearby but I did not see any obvious place to park or enter the beach, it appeared to be all private access. The beach had a sargasm issue in July anyway, so we spent our time beach hopping the beautiful northern beaches. The cottage was clean and fully stocked including towels, beach towels, extra linens and pillows, paper goods, and kitchen supplies. Basic spices were available in the pantry. The hosts were friendly and helpful but we did not run into them frequently. There was something magical about the outdoor shower. In addition to being super fun to use, my hair has never been that soft. I even ordered her shampoos at home but it must have been the water because I can’t replicate it. I also admired the lovely screened in porch, fully furnished and offering the wonderful peeper songs at night. If it wasn’t 100 degrees we would have used it more. The bedroom had a king and was a good size. The bedding and linens were quality. After the rains I could pick up a perfect fallen flower on the front stair for my hair. 100% get the jeep. Would stay here again and recommend!

This was a fantastic, quiet location- but not far from anything. The hosts were extremely communicative and helpful. Will definitely be returning!

Tina was very helpful and communicative. Cactus Flower was a wonderful place for us as we explored the island. She had beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel gear and even a cooler we could use during our stay. Our last day we enjoyed the lovely pool and hot tub as well. The air conditioning in the bedroom was very nice and allowed for restful sleep after full days of hiking and swimming. Thank you for opening up your bungalow to us!

Property was perfect , beautiful cottage , quiet and peaceful . We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend …. the owners were exceptional !

Loved our stay at Cactus Flower Cottage!Great interaction with the owners,and especially loved the snuggles with their kitties and pup!Spent lots of time on the beautiful covered deck and it was very relaxing!Beautiful and peaceful! definitely understand it is an open air cottage, it was a blessing to have air conditioning in the bedroom as the rest of the cottage can be pretty warm when the high! Nonetheless, we would definitely return again and very much, enjoyed it!

We had an amazing stay! Very peaceful. Tina and Joe were very helpful with reccomending car rental, directions, etc.

Exactly as described. Has everything you need. Hosts are very nice. Short drive to most places on the island. We enjoyed ourselves

We loved our stay at Cactus Flower. It is very nicely appointed and the hosts are great!

This cottage is the perfect place for a couple.We love the outdoor shower,the kitchen has everything we needed,Joe and Tina are excellent hosts. Quite and peaceful.

We had the most wonderful time on island and the stay at this cottage was perfect. Excellent location. Easy drive from Cruz Bay. No rough roads or crazy parking! Cottage had everything we needed and the AC in the bedroom was fantastic! We highly recommend!

Cactus Flower was a wonderful 1 bedroom villa with a wonderful Stone Outdoor shower. Joe and Tina were wonderful Hosts with decades of local knowledge. Fish bay is so close to everything. I would highly recommend this 1 bedroom villa

The cottage is adorable and very comfortable, welcoming and relaxing.

I'm so glad I found this gem on Vrbo. My boyfriend and I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The cottage was clean, comfortable and perfectly located. We truly felt like we were in paradise! The hosts where so kind and accommodating. We can't wait to come back!

The owners were absolutely the sweetest…including the pets. Everything was clean and just perfect! It was cozy and nice and we loved the outside shower. We wish all rental owners were as wonderful as the ones with this property. Thank you for having us!!!!

Accommodations were okay. Air-conditioning was in the bed room only. St. Johns island itself was horrible. Too many people. If you didn't get to the beaches by 8:30 there was no parking spaces left and you may as well go home. The restaurants were mediocre and expensive and you need to make a reservation a week in advance. I will never go to any USVI ever again. Try Virgin Gorda or Anguilla they are much better.

Tina and Joe were simply excellent and Cactus Flower is a quiet, safe environment in which to relax and enjoy St. John. It has everything one needs and is beautifully done.

We enjoyed our stay at Cactus Flower Cottage. Very clean and well kept. The cottage had everything we needed to make our trip to St. John fun and memorable.

Great stay …sorry to have missed you all as I hear we have an NC connection and are both friends w Andy Penn …I’ll be back to stay w you all in January as my daughter lives on the island .Best , Michael

We came to St. John for a wedding and stayed at Cactus Flower. Vivi and Riley were very gracious hosts and took care of all our needs. Luckily the cottage has a solar generator because the power goes out daily in St. John! The cottage was perfect for us

Beautiful cottage. Secluded and comfortable. Loved the setting.
