New Moon - Beautifully Built Cottage with Views of Coral Bay

  • New Moon is a charming one bedroom house for rent in Coral Bay, on the island of St. John. Surrounded by trees, with beautiful views of Coral Bay and Bordeaux Mountain, New Moon provides the perfect couples’ getaway. New Moon offers a spacious kitchen, beautifully appointed with hardwood mahogany cabinets and bar. This intimate residence will make you feel right at home as you enjoy all St. John has to offer. New Moon provides the perfect base from which to explore the stunning beaches of St. John and the unspoiled beauty of the Virgin Islands National Park.

This property was absolutely fantastic. Communication was great throughout, and the house itself was beautiful. It's just a few minutes outside of Coral Bay and was easy to get to, with a jeep or four wheel drive due to the steep hillside. The house was exceptionally comfortable and well appointed. For anyone who enjoys nature, this is your place. The night sounds with the frogs were amazing and lulled us to sleep each night. And the views are breathtaking. We look forward to visiting again and would definately select this home!

Great little tree house

Perfect getaway on St. John. The property is tucked into the trees with a comfy bed and bath upstairs and well stocked kitchen downstairs. We love the coral bay side of the island and it's a quick drive to the shops and restaurants and nearby beaches. Perfect for a couple.

Great location, very comfortable and private

We enjoyed our stay and exploring St. John. We had been a little apprehensive about staying in Coral Bay, but we found it peaceful and convenient. Several local markets met our needs and a couple of restaurants were casual and had good food. The apartment was unique and the builder had taken care and pride in the design and workmanship. It was great for the two of us and we would gladly return.

Downtown restaurants we're good with open mics and a Saturday morning bazaar. The owner and manager were super supportive, very helpful and a pleasure to do business with! Would stay there again!

Amazing cottage. Very clean, cute and well-maintained. It has a beautiful view from the bedroom. Kitchen was equipped with everything you Might need. There is no A/C, but we were not bothered by it because it does not get too hot in the cottage during the day and the nights were cooler and really comfortable. The neighborhood cat, Patches, is an absolute sweetheart! The location is great because it is a few minutes from great restaurants and grocery and 15 mins from the beach. The local culture and vibe is very relaxed and chill. We loved our stay!

Peaceful

We stayed at the new moon location. Up in the trees, amazing view, usually had a nice breeze, can get warm in the middle of the day but we were out and about at that time so the morning evening and night were nice and cool with just a fan. Nicely built and everything you need, good location on the quiet side of the island. Would like to come back, but may have to bring our kids next time and this is a single couple set up. We enjoyed it very much, peaceful, beautiful and relaxing.

Simple and Relaxing

My husband and I stayed at New Moon for our 36th wedding anniversary. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The house is clean and simple, but had everything we needed. We enjoyed the tropical landscaping, the beautiful craftsmanship that the owner put into building New Moon, and the laid back feel you get just being there. As others have mentioned, there is no air conditioning, but the fans (5 total) kept the island breezes moving. The shower had plenty of hot water and was refreshing. We bought 2 cases of water for drinking which we would recommend. The beach chairs were nice, plus there was a small ice chest and ice packs. There is a nice variety of movies and books. As far as games, they have checkers, backgammon, cribbage and chess. We appreciated that the house had soap, shampoo, conditioner, bug spray, and reef safe sun screen. The kitchen had plenty of utensils, pots, pans, etc. including storage containers, small Ziplock baggies, and foil. We used the grill, and it worked well. The hammock was uncomfortable. Staying at New Moon will definitely require going up and down a lot of steps. The house is easy to get to by Jeep.. If you've never been to St. John before, we would highly recommend it, and if you like to get away from the action, Coral Bay is the place to be! There are some great restaurant, and a few shops, but mostly you'll be relaxing. exploring the many beautiful beaches, snorkeling, hiking and living the dream!

Our host, Jill met us on the rode and drove us to the cottage. I'm not sure if we would have found it on our own even with GPS. The cottage is nestled in the woods in a beautiful setting. The cottage itself was very nice and comfortable and cozy with a wonderful view of Coral Bay. Plenty of storage space for clothes. The 2 wrap around porches were a great place for morning coffee or sunset happy hour. Being on an island we lost power a couple of times but not for more than an hour or two. Also be aware there are a number of steps to get to the cottage. Overall, a great find.

Perfect cottage in Coral Bay. We enjoyed our stay again this year at New Moon. This place has everything we could need- cooking/grilling supplies, beach towels, chairs, great bedroom with a view, deck with a view, etc. The location is great for us- hiking & snorkeling close by but on the quiet side of the island. Great communication too.
