This is a very special property, located on the quieter eastern side of the island. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, though we chose to sample the local restaurants for dinners.

Relax & Unwind

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.

Simply excellent!

The home was as advertised with an excellent sweeping view from mid-mountain top! We stayed for a wonderful 5 nights, close to downtown locations Rams head, ect. 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!

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.

Tree house getaway!

The new moon villa was perfect for our week on the island. We liked the location of low key coral bay, with still being close proximity to the north shore beaches. The home was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It was quite warm while we were there (never got below 80 degrees over night) therefore sleeping was an adjustment just because I am used to sleeping in colder temperatures but the bed is very comfortable! Thank you Jill, you were a great host!

Amazing Views!

Such a lovely place! You feel like you’re in a tree house. From the bedroom at night you get a warm Caribbean breeze and THE STARS are awesome! It was perfect for my husband and I. If you’ve had a knee or hip replacement I don’t recommend as there are many stairs to get to the cottage, or if you’re lazy :) It is a mountain cottage so expect to actually be in the mountains. Perfectly romantic place!

Great location and views

I would give this place 6 stars for cleanliness if I could! The place appears well-maintained. Interior woodwork is beautiful. The landscaping surrounding the house is very impressive...plantings, stone walls and well-maintained steps from the driveway to the house. If coming back from town after dark, the driveway and walkway/steps to the house are automatically lit by motion sensors which was very much appreciated. We enjoyed our week at New Moon and would definitely consider staying in the future.

Stunning place to celebrate our honeymoon

This place is truly magical!! The owners built it and you can feel the love and thoughtfulness in every detail. On the second floor is the bedroom and it feels like you are in the trees with the birds. Great spot if you love nature. I also felt good about our choice bc there was an emphasis on conservation of power and water, which is important to us. My husband and I love to camp so we were good with no air conditioning. There are fans and the way it is constructed and located makes it very breezy most of the time. The view is incredible from the first and especially the second floor. Waking up to the mountains across the valley is hard to live without now! We took the advice in the binder and put a bowl of sugar out for the Bananaquit (sweet little birds). It was very entertaining. Also Jill, our greeter was wondeful! She left us a bottle of champagne to celebrate our wedding and gave us a coupon for Skinny Legs, a local restaurant. She even texted after we left wishing us safe travels and hoped we enjoyed our stay, so thoughtful!

Perfect Retreat

Chalk this up as another great find on HomeAway and just the accomodations the wife and I were looking for. An immaculate cottage with all the amenities you could possibly need in a peaceful environment. No need for A/C as breezes and ceiling fan are more than enough to keep you cozy. The gas grill, kitchen and blender got much mileage as some nights we were content just to sit on one of the 2 balconies and soak in the atmosphere. Take advantage of Jeep rentals offered at the cottage. Very reasonable and highly recommended. Drive around the island. Go off the beaten path. Do some great snorkels and enjoy dinner and beverage at Aqua Bistro. Great Mahi Mahi and terrific pours on the beverages:-) and call Coral Bay yur home at the end of the day. There really is nothing like it. And finally kudos to our gracious hosts... Cathy and Clark. Always available when needed but unobstrusive. Great folks... Other recommendations.... Hike Reef Bay and Ram Head (perhaps under a full moon)... snorkel Waterlemon Cay and chil at Maho Bay, Salt Pond or Little Lameshur... and enjoy a Painkiller or two. Cheers!

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!

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.

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.

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!

Cottage in Jungle

We very much enjoyed staying at the beautiful New Moon cottage. The location is perfect, close to beaches and Coral Bay, and easy access to main routes across island. We enjoyed being up and way in the jungle-like area with a view of the bay. The cottage is stunning and perfect for two. We loved the outdoor feeling that we had with the large screened windows and doors. The upper and lower decks are great places to relax and watch the birds. The cottage and grounds were very well laid out, very clean, and beautiful. The cottage kitchen was well appointed and bathroom shower is awesome. Beach chairs and towels were available. Importantly, the road and the driveway were easy to drive on. The hosts were friendly, informative, and responsive. We highly recommend staying at New Moon.

This is the place to be!

The perfect spot for my sister and me for our "sister getaway" vacation! It was the best daily landing place for us at the end of our hiking and beaching days...so comfortable, clean and cozy. Check-in process was easy peasy - seamless! Loved our decks for morning coffee and sunset/night time cocktails and wine. You can't go wrong with this beautiful place... and that sunken shower is incredible! Perfect place to be on St. John... thank you so much for this wonderful adventure.
