Fish Tales is a cute and comfortable 2 bedroom, fully air-conditioned , 2 1/2 bath Caribbean Cottage with nice views of Fish Bay and the surrounding area out to Ditleff Point and beyond. This spacious home away from home is easily accessed via a large flat driveway. Two small steps up from the driveway and you enter the home from a covered deck. The door leads you into the Great Room with comfortable seating, TV, DVD player, and Stereo. Cable TV and wireless internet are provided. The kitchen and dining area, as well as a 1/2 bath with full size laundry all flow easily off the great room. There is a sliding door that opens up to the large covered and uncovered pool deck. At the far end of the great room is the entrance to the primary bedroom as well as the internal stairway to the lower bedroom. The large primary bedroom has great views and a king size bed with a very comfortable memory foam mattress. A sliding door takes you out to the covered deck. There is a full, private, en suite bath in the master bedroom. The lower bedroom has a queen sized bed and a twin sized day bed with trundle that can expand the day bed into two twin beds or one king sized bed. All mattresses are very comfortable memory foam. There is a sliding door to a private deck with nice views of Fish Bay. There is also a private full en suite bath, closet, and small beverage refrigerator. This lower bedroom can also be accessed from its own entrance from an exterior stairway and deck.
Outside on the main level is a large covered and uncovered pool deck. The dipping pool is 8 x 13 x 3, and it is surrounded by 4 chaise lounge chairs. The outside dining table with seating for six and a Weber grill provides an easy, comfortable outdoor living space.

Solar array and Tesla power wall provides backup electricity if needed.

A short walk from the home brings you to the National Park and Reef Bay. Walk down a short trail and you are on the beach, where, in calm weather, the snorkeling is great. On windier days you can watch the surfers, or hike along the beach, over the low rocks, along a second beach, over a trail to a third beach where the Reef Bay Sugar Mill ruins are located. You can then go up the famed Reef Bay trail to the petroglyphs. For the more adventurous, Reef Bay Trail also connects with other trails that take you to both Europa and Lamshur Bay.
Fish Tales is quiet, comfortable, and only 15 minutes from downtown Cruz Bay. Enjoy!

    Fish tales was absolutely amazing to stay at for our first trip to St John! We had everything we could possibly need during our stay. The home was clean and cozy with amazing views. We enjoyed hanging out on the deck after a long day on the beach! We also loved the neighborhood Fish Tales is located in.

    We had a wonderful stay at Fish Tales. What a special property! The views were stunning and we enjoyed being out on the deck so much. The kids loved the mini pool and that they had the downstairs to themselves each with their own bed. We cooked every meal in the kitchen except for one dinner out. It worked well. The master bedroom had beautiful views and was so relaxing. We thought being able to walk out our door and hike down to Reef Bay Beach was pretty cool! One day we walked from the home down to the beach and connected up with the Reef Bay Trail, great adventure! Seeing flamingoes in the wild at Frances Bay was a highlight also. Thank you!

    My family of 5, kids aged 11-15 just got back from our stay at Fish Tales. The house was rustic and charming, just what we were looking for. Plenty of room for my family to spread out. The house was stocked with everything we needed for our trip, and it was very clean. I miss the incredible views. One morning we saw a rainbow over the water from the back deck.The pool was nice and warm. The host was very responsive and answered all my questions in a timely manner. The location is a short drive to the beaches, as well as town. I would definitely recommend this house.

    We enjoyed our stay at Fish Tales and could tell it was well cared for. Very comfortable home for a family of five (beds, AC, etc). Loved the view from the deck and gazing at the stars after a long day at the beach. Enjoyed the short walk to Reef Bay.

    Fish Tails was an amazing place to stay! We had a 7 month old and a 2 year old with us as well and it worked out great for them. Everything was very clean and well organized. The views were amazing and the pool was perfect for the kiddos. The walk to the beach was very simple. For our two year old, the bed downstairs with the trundle pull out worked perfectly. Plus, she felt like a big girl! Tammy was always available to talk to and so very helpful. Would definitely stay again!

    Fish Tales was exactly as described! It’s a cozy beach cottage that you can walk into and feel right at home. It’s not fancy but it’s so very charming! The back deck is cut into the rock and the plantings attract hummingbirds that you can watch while hanging out! Fish Tales is about 15 minutes away from Cruz Bay so if you’re looking for privacy and quietness this is the place for you! The roads between Cruz Bay and Fish Tales are not for the faint of heart but boy do they offer up some stunning views of the island! If you think you might want to get a taxi from Cruz Bay back to Fish Tales, make sure you have the gps coordinates or be able to give exact directions! The downstairs bedroom is an ample size and easily accommodated our two kids (11 yo boy and 13 yo girl). They had enough space and privacy and the room temperature stays much cooler than the upstairs. The sunset views from the deck are magical - be prepared for that setting sun to warm up the upstairs of the house! It can be quite warm in the evening in the upstairs bedroom and living area but once the sun is down and it’s time for bed the temperature cools down and it’s ok for sleeping. The pool is tiny but it was just the right size for cooling off. It fit the four of us just fine - the besta time for pool time is in the mid-afternoon. Any other time and it might be chilly due to the shade. The kitchen had everything that we needed and the grill worked well. We loved our time here!!
