Stunning North Shore Honeymoon Cottage

It is hard to describe how perfect our experience was with the warm and welcoming owners and hosts. Everything we could possibly need was there and ready for us. It is also hard to describe breathtaking beauty of this property. Even after six nights, waking up to the view and sound of the ocean was truly magical. True perfection all around, I wish I was still there!

Joey and Polly were extremely welcoming and helpful. Joey even met me at Starfish Market, and led me to the villa. She was always quick to respond to any question or problem. And she gave me some local tips to make my hiking and snorkeling more fun. I could see that the host went the extra mile to provide snacks and drinks to make my stay more enjoyable. The villa itself was perfect for me. I loved seeing that view every breakfast and every evening. They provide nearly everything you could want: gas grill, snorkels/fins, a comfortable bed, outdoor shower, and a much appreciated plunge pool. But the best part was the close proximity to Oppenheimer Beach. A quick 8 minute walk, and you're there. No parking, no hassles, just a paradise beach (almost) to yourself. I'm homesick for the Villa already, but I know I'll be back!

My spouse and I have been wanting to stay here for a few years. Only regret is that we waited this long. Adorable cottage with unbeatable views in a convenient location - reasonably close to town but felt very remote. The property managers were great. Wouldn't change a thing. We'll be back.

Everything was amazing. If the best is a 5 star this place would be a 10. Thank you for allowing us to share it!

Great property with lots of privacy. Well stocked with all the beach necessities. Friendly hosts! Highly recommend!

The home was perfect! The views were spectacular.Loved our trip so much. The hosts were always available.

Lucky you if you get to stay at this glorious home overlooking Hawksnest Bay, it’s a stunning house and the owners and hosts have taken every step to ensure you have an amazing stay!There is almost everything you can think of for a great vacation waiting for you at the cottage, towels, yoga mats, snorkeling gear, beach chairs and toys. Coffee and olive oil and a good selection of spices (you might want to grocery shop after you take inventory), all right here. All you have to do is kick back and enjoy!!

Hard to put into words how amazing this place was! Thank you, Polly & Bob!

4th time at this beautiful house with beautiful views and close to all beaches. Could not be any better!! Already we booked for next year and can’t wait to return.

The absolute perfect place for 2 couples. Each has their own completely private space. The plunge pool had a beautiful sun umbrella with 4 lounge chairs where we also enjoyed viewing the stars, and St Thomas at night. The kitchen had everything we needed for creating beautiful meals: the grill was the bomb for the fresh yellowfin tuna we were able to get through our AMAZING hosts. Jennifer and Joey were there for our every need. They picked us up at the ferry dock, lead us to the house, showed us around and got us settled right away. The entire experience exceeded our expectations! Can't imagine staying anywhere else.

The property is literally perfect. I'm a builder, and I couldn't think of anything I would have done differently. My wife and I were there for a week on our honeymoon. Every detail of this remote, serene setting is perfect. Set above such a beautiful bay, the views are amazing. And at night, the only lights you'll see are the stars. Having this type of solitude with being so close to town (10 minutes) is ridiculous. Literally once you drive out of Cruz Bay, you enter the Virgin Islands Nat'l Park. And Polly's house is a mere 10 minute drive. Just go, as everyone says. Your expectations will be surpassed.

We made a spur of the moment trip to St. John in early October when other vacation plans fell through. How lucky we were that Hawksnest Cottage was available! The weather and water temps were sunny and warm. The island was welcoming and uncrowded, with ample restaurants open. And the home, owner and property manager ensured a dream trip. The cottage is beautifully constructed, with high quality finishes and furniture. Many thoughtful touches above and beyond the accurate and detailed listing description, such as beach umbrellas, reusable water bottles and gallons of purified drinking water, plus a well-stocked kitchen with even a knife sharpener. The cottage is completely private, screened, and is surrounded by beautiful landscaping and the sounds of nature. Location is perfect. Short drive to Cruz Bay and the lovely North Shore Beaches and trails. Amazing sunset views. Both the owner and Property Manager provided prompt and ample information and met our every need. Highly recommend this special property!

Absolutely amazing house and location! We will definitely stay there again. The McCrays.

Hawksnest Cottage was an absolute dream! Like others have mentioned the pictures don’t do it justice. The home and view are stunning. The pool and lounge area were larger than we expected. The landscaping was gorgeous. We never even turned on a tv or music and instead just listened to the sounds of nature. The location was great, close to many beaches some even walkable. We took the trail down to the two close by beaches. It was only about a ten minute drive to town. The home was well equipped with everything you would need. There was even a welcome gift of fruit, snacks, and drinks when we arrived! The owner was great with communication and the property managers provided top notch support prior to and during the stay. They provided information on groceries, restaurants, local activities, and even helped us connect in order to set up in-home massages. They definitely went above and beyond! We hope to stay at Hawksnest Cottage again!

Everyone we dealt with was so helpful and accommodating! The house was nicer than we could have imagined and the views were breathtaking! We can't wait to go back again!
