About this villa rental

Alexandra Cottage - Studio with amazing views!
Alexandra Cottage offers a romantic getaway with spectacular, unobstructed and breathtaking views of the Caribbean and surrounding islands. This cottage is located on Pocket Money Lane, a private cul-de-sac. The town of Cruz Bay and the ferry dock are .4 miles from the cottage. The cottage has a King size bed, is fully air conditioned, has Starlink Wi-Fi , which is extremely high-speed and always available, and an automatic generator.
As you arrive at Alexandra cottage, the lush Caribbean landscaping welcomes you to your home away from home. The private stairway leads to this beautiful hidden cottage. The bedroom is designed to capture the beauty St John has to offer with large glass windows where one can wake up and gaze toward St Thomas and the beautiful views. There is also a sliding glass door that leads from the bedroom onto the side deck. A brand new addition with a washing machine and clothes dryer was completed in October 2022.
Alexandra cottage has 1000 square feet of living space with Carrera white marble flooring. The cottage has an open floor plan with a fully equipped kitchen, including a refrigerator, microwave, blender, coffee maker, cook top and toaster. The living room area is furnished with a new queen sleeper sofa andfeatures a comfortable chair, Smart TV, and a dining table with bar stool chairs. The bathroom is spacious with a white ceramic bowl sink and a walk in, large blue tiled shower.
The deck surrounding one side of the cottage features a sitting area with a Weber grill, a bistro set table and chairs for outdoor dining. There is also a patio off the back of the cottage where one can relax after a day at the beach on the two chaise lounges. Sit back and admire the beautiful sunset and the lights twinkling across the Caribbean waters.
The cottage has a generator for any power outages that might occur on island. The cottage is fully air conditioned and has ceiling fans throughout. Taxis/Cabs will provide transportation if needed for the short ride to Cruz Bay. However, we suggest renting a vehicle in order to see the island and enjoy town and the beaches. Some guests do walk to town and back but it is not for everyone
New service for your convenience! We now provide trash service twice a week. There is no trash removal on St John. Normally all trash must be brought to the local dumpsters on the island.

First time visit to St. John and Alexandra Cottage worked out perfectly for us. We were there during part of Carnival week and enjoyed the restaurants and the festivities. We found a nice spot to have lunch and watch the 4th of July parade and went back to the cottage to watch the fireworks over Cruz Bay later in the evening. I communicated with the host and the on location property manager and received prompt responses right away - both were very helpful as well. We were very appreciative of all the extras that were provided to make it a stress free stay and to equip us explore several beaches: the cooler, the chairs, the shade tent, the towels ❤️ Loved waking up to the spectacular view right out the bedroom window..... breathtaking! PS also first time seeing iguanas - wow - we saw over 10 hanging out in the tree out back enjoying the leaves. I would highly recommend Alexandra Cottage and hope to come back in the future.

This cottage was exactly as described - only better! Everything we could possible need was supplied. The view from the deck is amazing, and the cleanliness and washer and dryer were appreciated. The bed was heavenly. We knew there were steps, but just be aware they are not normal stairs - they have different levels of heights which challenged my husband but he hung in there and did it! I highly recommend Alexandra Cottage. Karen's communication was superior!

Perfect size and location for two. A/C was a great help as the windows face west. The addition of a washer and dryer this year was also really appreciated. Lovely view and tremendous sunsets! Sunset view from the bedroom and balcony. BBQ grill was great for dinners at home. Easy access to Cruz bay if you want to drop in for happy hour or dinner. St. John never disappoints with outstanding snorkeling at places like Honeymoon beach, Hansen, Maho and Salt Pond. Lots of variety and friendly atmosphere.

Very nice! Felt very private to us the way the cottage is situated in the hillside trees. This was my favorite part. Thought everything was super clean and organized the shower was particularly enjoyable. We enjoyed grilling on the covered deck almost every night. Bed was very comfortable. I counted 4 iguanas in the trees. I'm sure there are more. The cottage was well supplied. Appreciated the bottled water!I've been to St John approximately a dozen times. I certainly would stay here again. A rental car is almost a must in my opinion....last but not least, we had some flight/travel logistical issues that Karen was able to assist with. Communication was never lacking. Hope to stay there next year!

Very beautiful location, views from the room and porch were lovely. Comfortable bed and sofa, really cool tiled shower area, great BBQ, pretty landscaping. We appreciated the use of the cooler, the tote bag with beach towels, and the beach chairs. All things you cam’t bring with you on a plane! Also located reef-safe sun screen and bug spray which we didn’t bring (we brought the old kind of sunscreen not allowed here.) Kitchen didn’t have tons of supplies, no oven or dishwasher, but we don’t need that, and had enough dishes, glasses, pans, utensils etc. for our us. Has a coffeemaker and filters which is essential! The town with market and little shops is about five minutes away by car and easy to navigate. You could walk to town but wouldn’t recommend: very steep and narrow roads and we aren’t in good enough shape to make it! Hosts were super responsive to questions and requests. Such a comfortable, relaxing place! And St. John is awesome. Gorgeous, uncrowded, spectacular beaches and hikes. Will return, thank you!
