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.

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

Completely enjoyed our time at Cactus Flower. Everything you see is accurate. The cottage is well-built and maintained. The heavy, tropical, hand-made woodwork adds a distinctive feel when compared to the local architecture. The drive is not far from town, but just far enough to enjoy quiet nights with the sounds of the local birds and wildlife. We like it when it's dark at night, rather than overlooking a lit up "city" below us. Cactus flower provided the ocean proximity and view (a little limited as depicted in the photos), combined with tranquillity in what felt like a very safe neighborhood. The bed is very comfortable. Woodwork and stonework in the bedroom add attractiveness, with the ceiling fan and AC for sleeping soundly. The dual fans in the living area keep the area comfortable, and heavy screened doors keep any bugs out very effectively. The shower is wonderful, connecting directly to the bathroom. All appliances worked well, including laundry, coffee maker, range and oven.The porch is a luxury. We dipped in the pool once, and never used the hot tub (but did take a look and it was tempting). The pool is small, as are most pools on St John. It is "attached" to the owners' home, but appointed for guests. After enjoying the beaches everyday and cleaning up in the shower, the pool was an afterthought. Hosts are very responsive when needed, but you are likely to barely see them if they're not. We felt that our vacation time and privacy were completely respected.

Hi - My lovely wife and I stayed at Tina/Joe’s comfy cottage 4/15-20 and just loved it. Super clean, speedy Wifi, central location, huge patio, pool, and everything else you could want. Communication with hosts was great and we especially loved Marco (their friendly cat). Many thanks!

We were blessed to enjoy three idyllic weeks in this charming, bright, airy, spacious, comfortable, and clean cottage. The experience was so much more than pictures convey. Loved the dreamy bed, outdoor shower, stars and kitty visits!!!. We felt like we were in a small private resort. The pool and hot tub were surrounded by lush and lovely landscaping. We often had the pool and hot tub to ourselves. Never felt crowded, even though shared with a few other guests. Great location; far enough from Cruz Bay yet close to the Dolphin grocery store near the Westin Resort. We frequently drove to Maho Bay, as it was calm. The Windmill bar was worth a visit! Other days we enjoyed the large porch and clear pool. A note of advice: book your jeep early!!! Thank you Tina and Joe for your warm hospitality and for creating this magical oasis.
