James' cottage was the perfect way to experience the natural beauty of St John for the first time. The views were amazing and the indoor/outdoor feeling of the living area made it even more special. It was close enough to town to make it convenient, but far enough to be quiet and peaceful. James made check in a breeze. We would definitely stay there again!

The Rendezvous is in a location above Cruz Bay with great views. Comfortable, pretty well equipped (if you cook you'll have to bring everything), and has a nice vibe. If you're looking for resort pampering, this is not for you. One exception: there is a lovely small pool and patio area that feels pretty deluxe :) But if you want a place from which to explore St. John, and is close enough to town to eat, shop, etc. but to be away from in a very peaceful way, this place is it and was was excellent for us. James (owner) is very friendly, helpful, and available if needed. We're already thinking about a return trip to St. John, and this is where we will book to stay! One note: IMHO car not optional.

10 minutes from Cruz Bay where there are lots of shopping and food options. Easy enough to get to the north shore beaches. James is terrific. Very accommodating. Wonderful view of St. Thomas.

A cozy and comfortable place to stay, with good access to Wintergreen activities.

Jim went above and beyond, picking us up at the ferry dock late at night when our flight was delayed. Our unit was well equipped, clean and comfortable. We had a lovely view of Cruz Bay and St. Thomas. King sized bed was very comfortable. Very nice shaded pool area. Cruz Bay was a convenient ten minute drive.

We stayed for 5 days, husband and son. Our main goal was to explore the beaches and we can’t decide which was our favorite between Trunk and Cinnamon. Driving the local roads probably took a few years off my life but worth it! Next time we will try to plan on making dinners because the restaurants are very expensive.

James was easy to communicate with and appreciated the easy check in and check out process. Property was great for an in and out place to lay heads. We enjoyed ourselves and were thankful for the BBQ and utensils etc already at the house.

Small cozy villa 1.5 miles from town. Great views ! James was a great property owner !

2nd stay here great experience!

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had an amazing time! The host was very accommodating and easy to contact. The property is only a few minute drive to downtown Cruz bay and a short drive to the beautiful beaches that St John has to offer. We are excited to visit again!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay on St John’s and at this perfect cottage. The place was clean, easy to get to, quiet. We didn’t need anything additional. Even though there were common areas with the other cottages, we rarely saw anyone else. I would recommend this place to friends/family.

Kelly was absolutely amazing!!! I was in St John’s for a wedding and my luggage didn’t arrive and I had nothing but the clothes on my back and my bridesmaids dress. Kelly brought me makeup and some additional clothes. It is an understatement to say she went above and beyond. Kelly also picked us up from the ferry and drove us to the property. She regularly checked in to make sure everything was going well!! Cannot say enough good things about them!! Highly recommend staying here!!

My wife and I stayed at the property in mid-May 2022. We found the unit a great value being spacious, clean, well located, and offering great views. The host, James, is friendly and responsive.

James and his wife have done a great job maintaining this cottage built into the side of the hill. Our apartment was the lowest part of the 3 unit complex. But we still had an excellent view of the bay. Even though there are 3 units, no one was directly on top of us. So I didn’t have to be concerned about any neighbor noise. If you are the type of person who wants a perfectly manicured landscape, the Westin would be a better match as this garden featured more plants that were more adapted to the soil of this area. We enjoyed seeing all the numerous types of anoles lizards . It was also fun to watch the I Iguanas feast on the ripening papaya. James was the owner and also managed the upkeep of the property. Everything was in fine shape. There were no holes in the screens to allow no see una to enter the nicely sized enclosed patio area. The cottage included amenities such as full kitchen, washer, dryer ,king sized bed with air conditioning in the bedroom. We rented his 4 wheel car which came in very handy for scouting out different beaches each day. This place is comfortable enough for a fairly long stay.

Location and home were exactly as described. James, the host, is welcoming and super helpful. The AC in the bedroom is much needed, but the rest of the house is open air. Sunsets are fantastic. There’s a shared pool but you don’t really need that with all the beaches a short drive away. A great stay with a great host.

James our host was very attentive. He was so kind as to pick us up from the ferry. The cottage was exactly like the pictures and in a good location. The host had a car that we were able to rent and this was extremely helpful. We definitely hope to return one day.

Owner was easy to communicate with, met us at the ferry dock and guided us right to the property. Beautiful view both from inside unit and pool area. Everything we needed - dishes, towels, beach chairs, ice chests, etc. Loved the fact that there were no windows - just screens (if you are expecting the Marriott do not book here) - the sounds of the roosters and watching the iguanas lent itself to the island experience. Beaches on St John are beautiful but very crowded early in the day - go late in the day to enjoy a little more solitude and lovely sunsets. Don’t skip out on sugar mill ruins - very interesting. Driving the steep windy roads is scary at first but just take your time and move out of the way of locals.

The owner was great. Super communicative, helpful, even met me at the car ferry and drove us to the house! The house is located up on a mountain side with views of the ocean. Shared pool upstairs, with two other units, has even better views. He even has beach chairs, coolers, and snorkels to use. That's a money and time saver right there! Firestick to watch Netflix, Youtube, Hulu if you like. One bedroom, with a screened in lanai, with a nice breeze. This isn't the Ritz, but honestly it was EXACTLY what we wanted. Cute, quaint, rustic home, with nice amenities. If you want something super fancy, this might not be right. But if you want amazing views, great value, comfortable stay, full kitchen, wonderful screened in lanai, easy 5 min drive from Cruz bay, this is the place. My wife and I loved it so much, we have already talked about buyin a place similar one day!

Birthday trip for me and my husband. Perfect for two with pool W/D and can rent car from owner James. Very nice nan!

My Girlfriend and I stayed here between Christmas and New Years and enjoyed the most beautiful time. The views from this place are unreal and James is an excellent host. He picked us up from the ferry terminal even though our flight was 2 hours late. Highly recommend!

James met us at the car barge to personally get us to the villa (not really on the map). The villa was in a peaceful neighborhood close to all the action downtown. Rent a jeep to get around St. John easier. The roads are not kind to regular cars. The villa was open air and had a kitchen, a/c-ed bedroom , bathroom, and laundry room to meet all our needs. The common spaces had a pool and comfy seating with sunset/St. Thomas views. James is an attentive host. Definitely consider this oasis for your USVI trip!

We really enjoyed our stay at James' place! He met us at the ferry dock so we would be able to follow him to the rental, which was super helpful. The rental only has AC in the bedroom, but it does get nice and cool after running for 30 minutes or so. There were lots of linens provided including beach towels, and everything was very clean. We loved seeing some hermit crabs and lizards around the property as well, and the view from the screened in living space and pool upstairs are gorgeous. 10/10 would stay here again!

Really nice, amazing view. Recommendable
