1. Ridiculously Romantic. Romantic getaways are our specialty here at Mooncottage, with an ambiance that incites romance at every glance. Guests routinely call it a “Simply Perfect” experience. Beyond the ambiance at Mooncottage, we can help personalize / customize your stay too...private chef, in-house massage, etc.
2. Spectacular Ocean Views. When you arrive at Mooncottage, you will simply not believe your eyes. Our sweeping down-island views across the British Virgin Islands are the benchmark for 5-star St. John villa vistas.
3. Just Feels Right. Unlike staying at larger St John villa rentals, you’ll never feel lost at Mooncottage. The best vacation spot to both revitalize and make you feel right at home.
4. Total Privacy. Mooncottage is located on a private drive and doesn't have another house next to it...you won't have people driving / walking by while you're here! Yet, it's only 5 minutes from Coral Bay. Rated by the New York Times recently as the #4 best place to vacation in the world!
5. Magical Ambiance. Mooncottage has an exotic "look & feel" that was part of its unique design—a St. John villa vacation destination that blends the inside with the outside for an utterly relaxing experience.
With astonishing 180-degree panoramic sea views and a unique Zen-Caribbean ambiance, Mooncottage is one of the best Caribbean Honeymoon or Anniversary destinations imaginable. Mooncottage is well-known as a five-star Romantic Villa Rental on St John and is top-rated as one of the “10 Great Romantic Destinations” of the world. When you arrive, you will simply not believe your eyes...the ocean view is that spectacular. With scores of guest reviews like “Heaven on Earth” and a “Romantic Villa Beyond Words,” it is one of the best romantic couples getaways imaginable. See more. For close friends or family members, a cozy bed in the main pavilion area is our 2nd bedroom, with a separate private full bath.
Mooncottage, St John's Most Romantic Luxury Villa, was featured in Food and Wine Magazine (you may need a subscription to read the whole article). How about that huh!? Nice to get a little recognition.
Mooncottage was a labor of love...it wasn’t easy to build here. It took 7 years to complete, with our first guests arriving back in 2004. Since then, we have been proud to have hosted well over 1,000 guests! Many of them come back year after year and add to our 20+ years of consecutive 5-star reviews.
IMPORTANT NOTICES:
1. Taxes: The Hotel Taxes in the VI are 12.5%.
2. Travel Insurance: We highly recommend Trip Cancellation Insurance for any unexpected problems, such as family emergencies or rare severe weather-related problems. We always try to work with our guests, where possible, but cannot be held responsible for refunds to these or other like occurrences.
3. Rental Agreement: You must sign our standard Rental Agreement and Liability Waiver. Once you book, we will send you our standard terms and conditions via DocuSign for your endorsement. We will require your name, physical address, email, and phone number.
4. Satisfaction: We believe that one of the reasons we have so many repeat guests is because we take a personalized approach. Before finalizing a booking, we like to speak to our guests on the phone to understand their needs and ensure their vacation at Mooncottage will be perfect. This is often not possible due to wholesalers' rules and regulations. Therefore, if for any reason you are not comfortable with anything once we DO speak on the phone, we will do our utmost to find a solution. Please note that our Rental Agreement and Liability Waiver will supersede any prior agreements, if your reservation was made through a wholesaler or travel agent.
5. Most guests choose to stay for 7-14 nights (our minimum is 4 nights). Stays of <7 nights stays are available, with an additional short-stay surcharge of $250.
6. This is your private villa for the entirety of your stay.
7. You will require a 4-wheel drive / all-wheel drive vehicle (most rental agencies on St John only rent 4WD / AWD vehicles).
8. Rentals falling on or around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year have a surcharge, which may not be reflected in your automated online quotation. The surcharge for rentals on or around Thanksgiving is 10% / night, and the surcharge for rentals on or around Christmas and New Year is 20% / night.
9. We will answer all questions via text on any wholesaler's messaging portal. However, we really like to speak to our guests personally on the phone before they book, to ensure they understand everything about the villa, the locale, and St John in general. After booking, we work closely with our guests to ensure a flawless vacation and help with any general information.
10. We are the only Mooncottage on St. John...please feel free to reach us directly at 773-724-0109 (Janet) or 207-323-4754 (Angela). We look forward to welcoming you to Mooncottage!

Guests arrive at STT airport on St Thomas and then take a taxi to the ferry for the short trip over to Cruz Bay on St John. Ferries leave from either Crown Bay (3-4 times / day) or Red Hook (every hour). You can either join one of the shared taxis outside of the Arrivals areas at the airport, or we would be happy to arrange a private taxi.
Once you arrive in Cruz Bay, you will pick up your rental car. We recommend booking your rental car well in advance, especially during the high season (December - April). From Cruz Bay it is a 20-minute drive to Coral Bay, where our delightful On-Island Greeter will meet you and escort you to Mooncottage.
Please reach out with any questions...we are happy to help with anything you may need as you're planning for your trip!
