1BR Oceanview Vacation Rental St. John, Virgin Islands USA, romantic getaway
At Calabash Cottages we specialize in private getaways for two guests. Tortuga Cottage is our newest edition to Calabash Cottages and thus has no reviews. You can however research our company name and know that the same great service we are known for will await you at this cottage as well. Tortuga is a cheerful and welcoming cottage with a gorgeous view of Coral Bay Harbor. This cottage has wonderful breezes, beautiful sunrises and moon rises, covered and uncovered decks plus a “hammock garden”. There is a private hot tub overlooking the Caribbean sea. For those who are familiar with Calabash Cottages, Tortuga Cottage is not in the same Calabash Boom location. The cottage is located just outside of Coral Bay. Although private, it is not as remote and secluded as Sago and Windwardside. On the other hand for our guests that have bemoaned the bumpy road, Tortuga could be your choice! This road is entirely paved and within walking distance of several bars and restaurants. With fabulous views from the living room bedroom and porch Tortuga is great honeymoon choice.
IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT RATES AND POLICIES: We have two rates: Low season from April 16 to December 14 ($1400) and High season ($2100) from December 15 to April 15. The only additional charge is 12.5% hotel tax. We do not collect a damage deposit. Our 20 year relationship with guests has taught us that this is not necessary. We treat our guests with respect and we have found that they return the favor. We do not charge a reservation fee or a cleaning fee or a service fee. If you encounter any additional charges when requesting a detailed quote it would be from the advertising site where you found us. Calabash Cottages is an established company and we do take direct bookings.
Car Rentals: Since the purchase of Homeaway and VRBO by Expedia we have seen an attachment at the bottom of our ads with them encouraging guests to book car rentals through their site. Because of our unique location we strongly advise against that. You do need a 4 wheel drive vehicle. We have for over 20 years done business with a very reliable company, Courtesy Car Rental. We believe in them enough that we forgo the commission they would give us and to apply it as a discount to your car rental. Please discuss car rentals with us before reserving. Our most important interest is in satisfying our customers. But the recent take over of our advertising sites by large corporations is constructing communication barriers. We can always be contacted directly.

My husband Paul and I are long term residents of St. John. We love to travel and our travel almost always focuses on finding beautiful natural surroundings. My husband (a retired builder on the island) and I designed Windwardside and Sago Cottage (Calabash Cottages) with the intention of providing that to like minded guests. We care very much about preserving the beauty of Coral Bay. An important part of our design process was to create homes that nestled into the hillside rather than towering over it. We are very proud of how that succeeded without sacrificing anything in terms of the view. We take a very personal interest in our guests and never want to have someone disappointed in their stay with us. We have a small and dedicated staff that shares this view. We like to have a personal conversation with all of our potential guests. if we do not feel like one of our homes is a good fit for you we will honestly let you know that. If you do decide to stay with us you can be sure we will do everything possible to make your vacation all that you hoped it would be.
