Really enjoyed my stay. The hosts were super nice and beyond helpful. It was super nice being right up the road from Salt Pond Beach. You’re on the less crowded side of the island so you get to see a lot of wildlife which I loved. My only suggestion is if you stay here you almost have to rent a car.

This was such a peaceful and beautiful place to stay a few nights on St John. It was close enough walking to Salt Pond beach for a swim and a hike, and short drive to Lameshur for another peaceful experience on the water. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed, we loved the open air flow and the bed out on the patio. The stars, breeze and sound of nature at night was such a treat! We’d definitely stay here again. It was a very memorable getaway for us!

Bill was an amazing host, so gracious. I loved the architecture of the cottage we stayed in. Many additional amenities beyond a typical room. The old vinyl disc player and outside bed were favourites. Plus this location is close to some hidden beaches and even a nice barbeque restaurant that serves a great brisket. It's a half hour drive from the bustle of the bar side of the island, perfect for a nice, quiet time. I definitely recommend without hesitation.

If you’re looking for awesome hosts with a great locale, look no further! We loved the property and the recommendations which helped us make the most of our stay. Excellent experience!

The Lameshur Cottage guest house was exactly what we had hoped it would be. It’s away from the hustle of Cruz Bay, nestled in the mountain side near Coral Bay. There are so many cool hikes and beaches close by as well access to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world on the north shores within a short drive. With a kitchen, appliances and a quick trip to the local grocery store only minutes away we saved a ton on meals. When we felt like going out to eat, Skinny Legs quickly became our favorite local diner. The hosts Bill and Emily were extremely pleasant and accommodating. Guaranteed you won’t find a better bang for your buck in the VI. Would absolutely stay here again if I‘m ever fortunate enough to return to St. John.

Cottagey wonderfulness! This was a unique experience for my husband and me, which we really enjoyed. Super location so close to Great and Little Lameshur Bays, and to Salt Pond so made visiting these locations during our stay a breeze. Very clean and well accommodated place with lots and lots to make your stay convenient. Nice communication with owners prior to stay.

Great studio cabin that was comfortable, peaceful and had everything we needed for our week. Bill and Emily were great hosts, fun to talk with and offered suggestions on everything from beaches for snorkeling to places to eat. Walking distance to Salt Pond Bay and if you’re up to the trek: Groupon that had the best sea life and Kiddle the second best. We took our jeep to both and were often the only people there! It is Not a resort or a hotel it is a remote cabin with a glamping vibe!

Loved this little cabin outside of town - worked well for access to Salt Pond and Lameshur Bay. Owner was great with communication. Rustic but cozy, had all needed amenities.

Perfect property for us! Our hosts were so sweet. The cottage was beautiful & we had a great visit on the island. We will be back!

Loved this cottage! It had everything we needed and more. Me and my Husband really enjoyed our stay. Note that it is quite far from town. Totally my fault that I didn’t do more research on St. John and I found out there’s only 3 main roads that take 30-45 min to drive if you want to go get groceries, eat out, or go to the pharmacy like we had to do. As well as most beaches are far but we enjoyed our stay nonetheless 😊 I definitely recommend staying here.

Cute studio cottage with all the amenities. Rustic and close to the National Park. Not a villa in site! Walking distance to Salt Pond Bay and Lameshure Bays and the Petroglyph trail to Reef Bay. Very sweet and quiet and away from all the hubbub of Cruz Bay. Miss Lucy's and Auqua Bistro are a few minutes away. All the best of St John.

Cleanest Cottage we ever rented. Bill and Emily are fantastic for sure. A short walk to Salt Pond Beach. Vitran bus stop close by. I'm 71 years my wife 65. We loved the hiking, snorkeling and the wild life viewing, excellent. We used public transportation the whole week. We got around easily. Git er dun. Steve and Laurie

Cool Spot
Excellent stay just a few minutes away from an awesome beach with great snorkeling and hikes with gorgeous views. Would definitely come back. Host is very easy to communicate with and supplies a thorough package full of information about the area.

The cottages at Lameshur are quite unique. The cottages are on an isolated road on the east side of St John, down the road from Coral Bay. The cottage is a bit eclectic, but it has the convenience of a clean bathroom and WI-FI. There’s a nice beach walking distance from the cottage. The only drawback, since the toilet is attached to a septic tank, you can’t flush toilet paper down the drain. I loved staying at Lameshur and listening to the wind and wildlife while sleeping in the cottage.

Beautiful vacation cottage
The Lameshur Cottage was perfect for a quiet, restful stay with a great location, a short walk from Salt Pond Bay and a short drive to the Lameshur beaches and the hiking trails in the park.

I was very disappointed in the cottage almost immediately. We got there in the evening and when we crawled into bed we noticed hair and dirt in our sheets. There is also no AC making it one of the worst options to stay on on the island. I was also disappointed it is not within walking distance of any water or beaches or shops. I will not be returning and I wish I could get my money back.

My favorite spot to stay!
Such a unique experience for a B&B next to the national park, gorgeous view of the jungle and no better place to wake up to. My friend loved sleeping on the patio in the netted open air bed and listening to all of the beautiful jungle sounds. Thank you again!

Amazing, chill, friendly hosts for a relaxing nature cabin stay
Bill and Emily were the best hosts ever! They were super inviting and accommodating! When we accidentally lost our rental keys in the ocean they came to the rescue and went above and beyond, making the whole trip very fun and enjoyable!

Lovely, private cottage next to beautiful beaches
Beautiful, kind people stayed in the adjacent cottages to us. It was great getting to know them and learning about what's best to visit nearby. The cottages are not 4 star hotels, but they are so cute, well prepared (including snorkeling and paddle equipment!) and offer an intimate, yet clean, experience with nature. We loved our stay and took advantage of staying outside inside a mosquito netted bed for one evening, awakened by a beautiful sunrise over the hills. Also, Salt Pond Bay just down the road offered incredible snorkeling sights.

Nice little cottage, great location!
This little cottage was slightly more rough&rustic than we expected but we really liked it, had a great week! Plenty big enough for us two, comfortable & quiet. Great location, easy walking to Salt Pond Bay beach & hiking trails. Three times we bought locally-made dinner food from a roadside stand just 0.1 mi up the road.

Lovely experience
Comfortable and sweet cottage. Great communication. They offered beach supplies (snorkeling gear, chairs, umbrellas) and that felt above and beyond for us. Short walk to Salt Pond Bay/Rams head trail, which was a lovely spot, and to two other rocky beaches. Just a general note for travelers to Saint John that there were limited options in Coral Bay for dining out and getting supplies. It seems that the pandemic has caused many businesses to struggle and there’s a shortage of waitstaff. That said, the owners were very helpful in recommending spots and helping us navigate the current situation!

Amazing cottage near Salt Pond Bay
We loved our 1 week stay at this beautiful classic cottage. Excellent bed, perfect sheets, great kitchen, with lovely porch. A gentle breeze kept it cool all day long. We walked to Salt Pond Bay everyday, sometimes twice. Nice place to swim and snorkel Great hiking up Ram Head. We rented a car, but the Vitran is just a 5 minute walk and seems to be running regularly. It is cozy, but we loved that. Can't wait to come back again. Thanks for a really great, much needed break from northern February!

Little yellow house on the hill
Check-in was very easy, the place was nice and breezy, and it had everything we needed during our stay. We did arrive to a “dirty” Vrbo as there wasn’t cleaning between our arrival and the previous guests, but we alerted the hosts right away and it was resolved within the next couple of hours. And we were refunded our cleaning fee.

Great getaway off the beaten path!
Lamesure Cottage is a beautiful property on the East side of the island, away from the busy beaches and traffic. You can't beat the location. A gorgeous view of the mountains, walking distance to Salt Pond Bay where there is an amazing beach, snorkeling, and the trailhead to Ram Head Trail which affords spectacular views, and a short crossover to Drunk Bay for early morning sunrise views . Also easy walk to Kittle Bay. This is a nature lovers paradise, with minimal car traffic and lots of solitude.
The cottage we stayed in is a small studio, nicely kept and clean. Ownership had transitioned recently, so we understood that there were a few things the new owner wished to improve upon. Bed is a double in the main room, great breeze in the evening. No door to the bathroom requires some creativity when duty calls : ) Awkward at first, but manageable. The outdoor porch is wonderful, with mountain views and breezes, punctuated by small birds visiting frequently. Furniture could use a little rearranging as space is small, but everything you need is there.
This is a wonderful rustic retreat in to be enjoyed in the mountains with short walks to the water. Be aware that with this abundance of nature also comes a few bugs, so consider it the price of admission. For the price, this is a great find.
Our host Bill was exceedingly gracious and knowledgeable, and couldn't have asked for better. He has tons of knowledge about the island is a wonderful resource! I would definitely stay at Lamesure Cottage again.

Perfect stay
We had a great time and it was perfect for just two people. No door on the bathroom was a little different, but we didnt mind. It was clean and had everything we needed.

A Very Special Place
Our stay in the studio cottage was everything we could have hoped for. We loved the secluded location and wilderness feel. The cottage itself is darling - so bright and nicely decorated and equipped with whatever you need. The outdoor space is fabulous and so enjoyed sitting out there every morning with my tea and watching/hearing all the beautiful birds. The nearby beaches are out of this world and we spent all day, every day taking advantage of them. I did not get to meet Russ, but Liz is a dream host and a lovely genuine person. I truly hope we have the opportunity to return to St. John and, if so, we will 100% return to Lameshur Cottages. I can't go five minutes without thinking about our week. PARADISE!!!!

Charming and peaceful
We truly enjoyed our stay in the little cottage. Liz was a lovely lady and hostess. We felt quite at home. Liz thinks of lots of little details that help make your stay more convenient. The cottage was spotless. We would recommend to anyone who loves nature and more authentic experience. Hope to return.
