About this cottage rental
Nestled on St. John’s spectacular South Shore, this tastefully decorated one-bedroom cottage is the ideal home-away-from-home during your island getaway!
The spacious covered veranda offers wicker seating and table where guests can enjoy cool breezes, their morning coffee a glass of wine or cool drinks after a day on the beach. The deck overlooks the island’s rich tropical landscape, the vibrant turquoise waters of Fish Bay and the Caribbean Sea beyond. The bedroom features a King bed with luxury bedding, air conditioned, and a flat-screen TV. The bathroom is updated with modern tile, sleek fixtures and a contemporary tempered glass sink. To ensure no one misses a moment of the island’s natural beauty, make use of the sliding glass door off the bedroom so you can walk out to the porch for a view over St. John’s radiant green plant life. The state-of-the-art kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. The kitchen island also functions as a breakfast bar where guests can dine or keep the chef company. The kitchen flows into the cozy living area, with comfortable seating, air conditioning, flat screen tv, dvd player and a wood-beam vaulted ceiling. The sliding glass doors allow you take in the beautiful view and enjoy the trade winds from the comfort of the living room.
The neighborhood of Fish Bay is a tranquil hillside enclave that’s a convenient 10-minute drive from the bustling restaurants and shops of Cruz Bay and a short 15 minute drive to the breathtaking Northshore beaches. We always recommend our guests rent a vehicle to explore.

We stayed the week at Turtle's Nest and everything was even better than advertised. Perfect for two people, very quiet with great views and everything you could need is provided (some of which we didn't even think about before hand!) Thanks for a great time on our first visit to St. John.

We stayed at turtles nest for 7 nights and had a blast! Normally, we stay on Coral Bay side and decided to change it up this year. So happy we did. It’s close to everything but yet the property is very private. The views from back porch were amazing. We absolutely loved it and WILL be back!

Excellent Stay!
My husband and I visit St John twice a year and were delighted to stumble on this little gem. Turtle's Nest is the perfect spot for a couple! Very clean, well outfitted and excellent shower. We were impressed with the extra touches and attention to detail. We also really enjoyed all the sugar birds who came to visit. We would definitely rent here again and would highly recommend it to anyone we know. You can't go wrong here!!

It's just the right size and filled with all the amenities we could use. One of the reasons it is so enjoyable is everything we need is already here - no hunting or running out to purchase items. The sensational view both inspires and relaxes at the same time. If I didn't leave the deck I would spend my entire time just staring out and sleeping outside.

The house is set in a lovely, friendly neighborhood. The house was perfect for myself and my wife. The deck was wonderful and the fans outside were useful for keeping the bugs away. The bed was comfortable. The drive over to the north shore beaches was 20 minutes and in to town was 10 minutes. The kitchen had everything g we needed and there were utensils for the BBQ. The washer and dryer were great so we did not have to bring clothes for our entire trip.
The only negative I could say is the driveway. Most of it is paved, but there is a section where it is rock and dirt. If you did not have an SUV I could see the bottom of the car hitting a rock or two.
We did have a problem with the bbq, the propane tank valve had a leak. However we contacted Tori and she took care of it right away. We let her know on the morning and by the time we got home that evening there was a new propane tank waiting for us.
We would definitely return here again and hope to do so soon.

Amongst the trees
We really enjoyed staying here, the privacy and seclusion was great even though we had wonderful views. We had a good interaction with the property manager. Would recommend the barbecue grill be replaced, it’s not in good condition. Would also recommend the small cooler backpack be replaced. We definitely will return.

Cute, small and clean located in a quiet isolated area. Kitchen is nicely stocked and the view to balcony was wonderful. The only downside is the house would be perfect for two.......we were a party of four and it felt a bit tight.....overall, nice experience.

Great visit to St. John
Tammy was very prompt with information and response to questions. Tori met us at dock and waited while we got car and grocery shopped them took us to the house. She was very friendly and responded quickly to questions
House was very comfortable for a couple and was as described. Kitchen was pretty well equipped AC kept us cool on a few muggy nights and other nights we used fans and listened to the sounds of the countryside
Daily visits from iguanas and dove cooing and other birds
Fairy quiet and private location but well place for access to anywhere on island
Thank you!

A perfect week at Turtle's Nest
We cannot say enough about how wonderful our stay at Turtle's Nest was for our family. It was a peaceful spot snuggled up in the trees, allowing us to wake up to fresh air, and birds chirping. We had all the amenities provided that we needed, a beautiful wide balcony to walk out on, and a short 10 min drive into town. Drew was amazing, always ready to help with inquiries, ideas, and assistance. We were also very pleased with the Covid safety, Drew always had his mask on when near us. We highly recommend staying at Turtle's Nest!

Lovely quiet home with great views!
Our family stayed at this lovely home over spring break 2019. The house was easy to find, clean, and ready for us to stay at. It's in a very quiet part of the island with really nice views. They had plenty of water, a washer/dryer, and some beach stuff we could borrow.

In a word . . . Wonderful!
We truly enjoyed our 7 night stay at the Turtle's Nest! It is absolutely the perfect size for two! The house was spotless, the furnishing nice, the kitchen well equipped - we didn't lack for anything! The stunning view from the deck was our favorite spot for morning coffee and an evening bottle of wine. The location is peaceful and private, yet an easy drive into town.
Drew of St. John Concierge and Tori were very gracious hosts who helped with setting up a fun day trip to JVD and snorkel gear for our use during the week. Tori even offered to ship a few souvenirs home for us! We love St John and are already planning next year's trip! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!!!

Beautiful, Charming & Private!
We loved our stay at Turtles Nest, New Fish Bay Cottage!
It was so charming, pristinely clean and very private!! We loved the open floor layout and a large deck with a view to Fish Bay and the hillside – and continuous breeze was so beautiful and refreshing! The kitchen was fully stocked with just about anything you would find in your own home - they even supplied all seasoning, coffee, olive oil, etc. which was very much appreciated!
Drew Kerr, Property Manager, was awesome to work with! He provided excellent service throughout our stay!
We cannot wait to go back!!
