Warm ocean breezes waves breaking on coral reef below. 1Bed-1Bath or 2Bed-2Bath

The view from this property overlooking the ocean is fabulous. We could hear the waves hitting the shore. We would spend the evenings lying on the deck amazed seeing the stars overhead. This property is on the quiet side of the island away from all the lights of Cruz Bay allowing for the wonderful nighttime light show!

We had a wonderful time staying at Tradewinds. STJ feels like a second home for us and Krista’s house is our favorite rental so we grab it anytime it’s available for our travels. Krista and Lenny a so easy to work with and their home is wonderful! Truly a delight staying here and look forward to future trips.

Tradewinds was a terrific choice for our family of four adults - our first trip to St John. If you are planning to stay on the east side of the island, you don't need to look any further. Tradewinds offers spectacular views, comfortable accommodations, easy access to great beaches and snorkeling, amazing stargazing, beach gear and a fully equipped kitchen. Krista is a super friendly, helpful and responsive host. We can't wait to return!

Tradewinds is a wonderful spot off the beaten path in the Salt Pond area. After a day exploring the island we would return to views of Norman Island and Coral Bay. Krista was very informative and responsive to any inquiries. I highly recommend Tradewinds.

This is our second stay at Tradewinds and it was once again perfect! The view is breathtaking! The cottage is clean and has everything you need for a perfect visit. Krista checks in from time to time and responds quickly to questions. Great place to stay - don’t miss out!

Tradewinds Cottage has everything you need for a St John vacation. Well equipped kitchen plus coolers and beach chairs for hitting some of the best beaches in the world. A deck with a fabulous view high above the ocean. Comfortable furniture inside and out. Neat and very clean. You may be on the “quiet” side of St John but there many bars and restaurants for those days when you want to eat out. The island is small so no attractions are very far away. Krista, the host, treated us like family and was quickly available by text to fix any minor problem. My strongest recommendation for Tradewinds Cottage is that this was our fifth time there.

My wife and I stayed at Tradewinds with some friends for a week in the sun! The house was perfect for us with two private sleeping spaces and associated bathrooms. The views from the home are breathtaking. The home was very clean and located 10-15 minutes from Coral Bay resulting in a quiet and secluded stay while being close close to great food and beaches. Krista was an excellent host: she was very responsive with messages before and during our trip. We would 100% stay here again.

This was perfect for our family! The downstairs bedroom was enjoyed by our 18 and 22 year old sons…a nice separation for them. Everything we needed was available (beach chairs, beach towels, cooler and beach bags,). The view is insurmountable- anytime of the day. We fell in love with Tradewinds and will be back!

This was our fifth trip renting a home in St. John and our fourth staying in Coral Bay area. Tradewinds is our favorite to date! The house is well appointed and the interiors are up to date and very tasteful. It is very slightly trapezoid in plan which adds to the charm. We were a little concerned on booking that it did not have AC, but it was not an issue. There was steady breeze all day. In fact, it could be cool in the evening. The location was ideal for us, located between two of our favorite haunts, Miss Lucy's and Salt Pond, and close to the main road so getting in and out was a breeze (has been issue at other rentals). We were able to reach the northern and east end beaches in 20 minutes (don't miss Haulover north if you snorkel). We did not have any issues but the Owner checked in on us to make sure everything . We had a wonderful time and would definitely book again.

Location high above the sea with endless views. Early morning on the deck with a coffee watching the sun rise. Ahhh! Cottage is equipped with everything you need if you want to eat in and several eating and drinking places five minutes away in Coral Bay. Beaches and hiking and snorkeling minutes away. The current owners have upgraded and beautified the cottage. We won’t go anywhere else on St John.

Perched on a hillside with excellent views & easy access.. We four adults had plenty of room with two bedrooms. Kitchen is well appointed. Large sea facing windows in every room. Great deck for afternoons after exploring & snorkeling. Beds & pillows very comfortable. We signed into Netflix & PBS with our code. Wifi is spotty but adequate. (I hear that is Island wide though.). Wonderful breeze all day & night. Very safe, quiet & private setting. Krista, the host is very responsive & very friendly. She was a great help when one of us needed direction for a medical issue that occurred. She has a very positive/ can do attitude. It was a pleasure working with her.
