About this cottage rental

Wonderful location for a family on a budget. Brand new expanded deck with outdoor dining and lounging. Lower level renovated in 2018 with new half bath added and new flooring and deck! Gorgeous views of Coral Bay. Cute little cottage (this is not a luxury villa) sleeps up to 6: two on queen size bed in bedroom, two in king size bed in the loft, and two on the pullout futon. Updated kitchen is fully stocked with all the necessary utensils, plates, cups, and cooking supplies.

This cottage sits at the bottom of the lot and thus has many steps (82) down to the unit. This cottage is probably not for the elderly.

The cottage has air conditioning throughout, with the exception of the screened in porch and screened-in bathroom - what a view from the full bathroom! The bathroom was also recently renovated with all new tile and fixtures.

Relax on the deck and porch while sipping cocktails looking at the boats anchored just below. Plenty of nearby restaurants and beaches to keep you busy all day long!

In order to keep our rental rates as low as they are, the cottage only comes with 1 bath towel, 1 washcloth, and 1 beach towel per registered guest per week and linens for the number of registered guests at arrival. The cottage does not include in-stay housekeeping or towel/linen service. If you would like in-stay cleaning services you can arrange that directly with our on-island managers at your own cost. Additionally, if you feel you may need more at your arrival, please ask when making your reservation to pre-pay for 1 additional of each towel per person per week ($50 for 2 guests, $75 for 4 guests, and $100 for 6 guests) and we will add that fee to your reservation. There are several laundromats on the island as well if you would prefer to clean your own towels during your stay.

For those who have been to St John before you can rest easy that the road to the house is a concrete straightaway with no switchbacks!

We loved being on the quieter side of the island. Close access to many great beaches and snorkeling areas. A quirky place but with a beautiful view. Worked great for my wife and I.

The beginning of our tip was great! Until the power went out. We booked this house as they were one of the only places with A/C. However, what they do not say in the description is that you will not have access to the A/C as well as running water once the power goes out. Again, we did not know about the frequent power outages until we got to the house. I want to clarify I am not blaming the property for the power outage, that is on WAPA (the electricity company). However, I am saying that the property had a right to let us know prior or after booking (not when we got there) that the power frequently goes out, and that when it does you have no water or electricity. We were not able to charge phones, make calls or text, shower, cook, wash dishes, and cool off in the A/C after a long day in the heat. While the power was not out our entire trip it was out at one point for a full 24 hours and then 6-8 hours on other days. Again, not the property's fault the power went out, but we would have liked to have been warned before we got to the house. The property is beautiful and in a wonderful location, a generator on the property would go a long way however.

We had a lovely stay at Blue Wrasse. It is a cute private cottage with a stunning view of Coral Bay from the large deck. There are 80 plus steps down to the cottage from the car and they pretty steep. We didn't have any trouble with them but this cottage is for those without any mobility issues for sure. There is a small screen porch with a table for two and one chair. There is a very small living space with a futon and a kitchen area and a table against the wall. There is air conditioning and a television and it is comfortable for two people. There is a loft with a queen bed but the steps are a bit challenging. We didn't use that. The bathroom on that level is outside in a screened area surrounded by the rain forest. The shower is in that bathroom. From that level you go out to the deck and down more steps to the bedroom which has a queen bed, a beautiful view and another deck. In the bedroom is a toilet and sink separated from the bed by a curtain. The property manager, Kat is amazing. She is so warm, kind and responsive. We didn't have any problems with bugs in the cottage because we followed her instructions of removing garbage daily and cleaning up crumbs carefully. There are no see ums and mosquitoes especially after rain but that is true at any cottage on the island. We saw an iquana in the tree from the deck and we loved having our breakfast outside watching the incredible view. We used the beach chairs which were in a shed by the parking area.

The Blue Wrasse is such a unique, charming find. The porch and view are spectacular. We loved our morning coffee watching the sun rise over St. John's. The pictures somehow don't even give the view justice. We used the loft, futon and downstairs bedroom and all slept quite comfortably. The air conditioning is so nice after long days out in the sum. We also enjoyed being able to watch a movie after sunset. We loved the outdoor shower!! The cottage is well-equipped and has everything you need for meal prep. We used the grill for multiple meals. We also used the snorkel gear and cooler on site...very convenient. Kat is such a pleasure to deal with and will respond quickly with any questions. Highly recommend the Blue Wrasse and hope to be back!!

Pretty good value as far as the island is concerned. Beautiful location with an incredible view from the deck and nice grill. Great stock of kitchen items and various things like spices, and condiments from previous guests. This is a split level with the loft and kitchen (with futon) together on the upper level and a lower level with the queen bed which is non accessible aside from going outside and down a flight of stairs. Almost everything you need for a stay, snorkel gear, kitchen items etc but beware for longer stays they don’t seem to leave a sufficient stock of toilet paper or paper towels, so you’ll need to get that from town in amounts likely far more than needed. Lot smaller than we expected, sleeping six is definitely a stretch for this place but for the four we had it was sufficient. While it might be standard practice, advertising a place sleeps six and charging almost $200 in extra guest fees for four people is very frustrating. The stairs were a LOT steeper than expected and when it rains, as it often does, they get super slippery and we fell multiple times, once very badly. The door downstairs doesn’t seal well and between that and the other gaps, lots of bugs came in during our stay. Not a major issue, but bothersome and seemingly not a crazy hard fix. Also full of fleas or bed bugs which made things pretty uncomfortable as well. Overall, for the adventurous on a budget, it’s a great place to stay, but if neither of these apply to you, proceed with caution.
