We loved Hannah and Lorraines place. It is a beautiful and secluded oasis away from all the touristy places. We loved being in Coral Bay area which had everything we needed. Place is clean and well equipped. Lorraine shared great tips and recommendations. Communicatipn was easy and so helpful. We will definitely be back!

Perfect getaway

What an amazing stay! Everything about this place was top notch. Hidden away on the East side, away from all the tourists. The pool was great and Lorraine made sure we had everything we needed. Conveniently located by some awesome hidden gems for snorkling and hiking. Makes you feel like a local for a few days. Everyone was extremely friendly and there to help.

Darling Cottages With An Awesome View

We stayed in the Ocean Cottage. We drank coffee on the deck each morning and the views were stunning. We hiked every day and came home and went to the super cool pool. Its a short drive to the hikes and the beaches. It was serene and lovely. Definitely coming back.

The Perfect Place

The Garden of Eden is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation on St John. Our host lives in a separate house on the property and was very accessible but not intrusive. She gave us some great tips on where to snorkel. The property is set on a hill overlooking Coral Bay, has a wonderful pool and deck and is well-equipped. It's a short walk to Skinny Legs and a few other local eateries. It's a 10-15 drive to the greatest snorkeling locations and beaches on the island. It you want a wonderful place to spend time on this island, the Garden of Eden is the perfect spot.

An Amazing Experience!

Ok, so I’m not usually the sort of person to leave a review but holy smokes did we enjoy ourselves here! Lorraine is amazing and she looked out for us every step of the way as it was our first time on St John! We received lots of great suggestions for things to do and she routinely checked in to see how we were doing! The cottage is amazing. Clean, quiet, and was the perfect place to unwind after long hours of hiking and snorkeling. Definitely will be coming back the next time we visit the island!

Does climbing 102 stairs twice a day sound like fun?

At the apartment, the view is great. Rent a Jeep and you will only have to climb 54 stairs with your luggage. The mapping programs work.Be sure to screen shot your original rental agreement. It’s easier to track any changes. Enjoy the food at the Cantina and Skinny legs and All. Drive east to great beaches.

Quiet with a great view

Property was as expected. Lorraine is a great property manager with lots of recommendations. The property is clean and the bed is comfortable. Note that the driveway is steep. This was our 1st trip to St John. Coral Bay is quiet. Be ready to eat dinner early. My husband and I are night owls so this took some adjustment for us. That's no reflection on the property but might be helpful to others that don't know.

Beautiful Hilltop Cottage

Beautiful cottage with an amazing view. You are further away from restaurants/shopping but it didn’t bother us one bit. Lorraine lives right above rental and was very helpful with snorkeling spots and very friendly and inviting. The pool was amazing and very relaxing after hiking nearby and just a busy travel day. Not at ALL a complaint just a side note, the lane is more of a level B. Highly suggest having a SUV or jeep. Driveway is very steep BUT duable. Was a little slick getting up in the rain. Secondly, there was no hot water for showering. Took a little getting used to but Hey, they say cold showers are good for you. Will hopefully be returning for an anniversary.

Serenity in Eden!

We stayed at the end of March 2025! First, the host is top notch! She will give you all the advice you need for planning your trip! Take it and do your own research as there is soooo much to do within your limited time there. Also, Bob the grounds keeper is very friendly and helpful too! Location: you’re on Coral Bay, super convenient for those looking for adventure as you can access the whole island from the less populated side of the island and skip traffic heading to the north side beaches. The property is up on a hill on an immaculately managed property (I’d argue the landscaping is within top 10 on island!) The pool is as advertised and a great place to relax between adventures. They skip no detail, even the stairs have slip proofing. While it is a small hike (steep) it’s very manageable especially compared to any activity you’re going to do in island. Jeep or a smaller 4x4 vehicle is a must if you plan to park along the road to enjoy one of the beautiful beaches here. You really can’t pick a bad beach to enjoy on the island they all have their own unique experiences but are epically beautiful. You can drive from one side to the other of the island in under 30 minutes, and the roads take you through breathtaking landscapes with a view at every turn, driving is enjoyable here. All in all, the location is convenient for those who want more privacy and want to avoid the hustle and bustle of tourist areas. While having ease of access to everything you’ll need.

What an incredible visit! We came back after staying here 5 years ago, and definitively won’t wait as long next time! Checkin and communication was so smooth, easy and relaxed, the location so close to Coral Bay and short drives to our favorite snorkel spots, and also close to great, chill food options - it was the perfect unwind that we needed!

We loved our stay at Ocean Eden, it was perfect for 2 people. We sat out every night on the balcony and watched the sun rise every morning. Hannah was easy to book with, Lorraine answered all our questions, and Bob has put so much love and work into the grounds. There are a lot of stairs, so this wouldn't be the right spot for someone with mobility issues, but if you're looking for a quiet little spot in Coral Bay with views, this is it.

I loved the cottage - cute, clean, comfortable, spacious, great views from the cottage, the porch and the pool…. What more could I ask for??The location was nice and quiet, about 30 min from Cruz Bay. Driving up and down the driveway was an adventure! It scared me at first, but I got the hang of it. You can park on the street and avoid the driveway, if you prefer. There are steps up to your cottage but for anyone in decent shape, that shouldn’t be an issue. Such a wonderful place for my escape! Hannah and her mom were so helpful, as I’d never been to St John before.

Rum , vodka, water. Chairs, cooler…. It was magical !!!! We woke to the sounds of roosters and donkeys and drank coffee by the pool. We could walk to town and to many restaurants. We loved our visit !

Dream Vacation

Where do I start? First thing you notice—all the gorgeous plants. The place is covered in beautiful tropical flora and fauna. The cottages are lovely and perfect. Everything is new and clean. Lorraine? She’s the best! My husband and I enjoyed partaking and discussing all her plants. She has whatever you need for your Caribbean vacation. And it’s super close to lots of gorgeous beaches, beautiful ruins, local artists, restaurants and coffee shops. 10 out of 10, I recommend. We’ll be back soon!
