Amazing
This place was fantastic, it had everything we needed, felt secluded/remote, but still was very conveniently located to get to all the places we wanted to go. Fantastic view, including sunsets, and Abby was very helpful with everything. Would definitely stay here again.

A lovely spot
Ideal property for a couple staying on St John. Spectacular views and sunsets.
We stayed at Meritage cottage for two weeks in January and had a lovely time exploring all of the beaches in St John, plus trips to the British Virgin Islands and Lovango.
Abby did a great job of looking after us!

Property is in a nice secluded location with a larger house on the same driveway. Staying in the cottage we did not hear the neighbors at all and we felt like we had nice privacy at all times.

Delightful
We had a wonderful romantic getaway at meritage . Linda is top notch ! We had an unforgettable experience. One minor thing that would improve the experience would be to cut / trim the small trees that are partially blocking the gorgeous views . Overall we had an incredible time and we’d love to come back to meritage .

Great place to stay!
My new husband and I had a wonderful time at the Meritage Cottage! Very private and a beautiful view! The bigger house is pretty close but we didn’t find it overly disturbing. Our favorite thing was to wake up around 4 and sit outside looking at the stars and listening to the waves crash on the beach below. We are already planning our next visit! Abby was also great and super helpful! We loved her!

We just love this hideaway cottage!
This cottage is so cozy and tastefully put together that we felt we had found a perfect getaway for years to come. The location allowed us to pop into town in a matter of minutes to go out for dinner or shopping. The national park beaches are only 15 minutes away on the beautiful drive along the ocean. One of the nice things about this cottage was that we spent some nights barbequing on the deck while listening to the ocean waves lapping against the sea shore of the Hart bay, it was so peaceful. It was just the tranquility my husband needed on this vacation to just relax from his stressful job. We love this cottage and of course St. John. We are definitely coming back.

excellent cottage
My husband and I were greeted by Sinbad at the dock. He was the greatest. All information was provided with over fhe top enthusiasm. He was great. The cottage was exactly what we expected. We were able to use the pool at the villa next door when it was vacant. The stay was wonderful and we now plan to return with our immediate family and rent both houses. Thanks Sinbad.

Paradise
The property just what we needed, and the view was gorgeous. The only issue we had was the driving. You might want to let visitors know that the drive to the property is quite steep. We would have probably skipped the car rental had we known the taxi service was great and parking space downtown was so limited. Being a couple of flatlanders from Iowa, it took us a couple of days to adjust. Other than that, it was perfect

Our idea of Paradise!
If you are looking for a serene private space with ocean views and a great tropical breeze, this is the place for you! Charming cottage has everything you need…well equipped kitchen, beach towels and chairs, fans and air conditioning, and best of all, a large porch with private hot tub. Very clean. When at the cottage, we spent all of our tIme out on the porch… what a treat! Abby the caretaker made sure we had everything we needed and was very helpful with island tips. You will definitely want to rent a Jeep as the property, while not far from the bustle of Cruz Bay if you want It, is a steep and winding drive up the hills above Chocolate Hole. 20-40 minute scenic drives bring you to the best National Park beaches. When we come back to St. John, we will not hesitate to stay here again!

Be warned, not so great as it looks and promises
First 2 days were constant blackouts no electricity owners should invest in a generator if they plan to continue to rent out their cottage , problems with the hot tub wouldn’t change temperature at all only when it wanted to and when it did change it would stay that way for example same day it was 96 degrees not warm enough and last day it was 105 which was too hot ,
Owners make you takeout your own trash even though it should be their responsibility to take out the trash cause a lot of visitors and tourist shouldn’t have to stress about finding a dumpster in a place they’ve never been to.
Water goes out with the electricity so if the power goes out make sure to buy a pack of water bottles. We had no water for 2 mornings straight, would’ve loved the heads up that electricity blackout = no water
Only good things were the view , the cleanliness, and the house manger Abby, the maintenance team and the cleaning team. All 3 were amazing in making the best of our experience on St John.
The owners need to put effort into providing a comfortable great experience for those who rent their cottage .

Perfect cottage for two
My wife and I decided to celebrate our 25th anniversary on St. John, and picked Linda & Randall’s Meritage Cottage to stay. After visiting there for a week, we both agree this is a wonderful little cottage, perfect for two, with great views over the hills and shore outside Cruz Bay. Our favorite spot was the porch, relaxing and taking in the views and breeze from the water. Cruz Bay was just a few minutes drive, and access to the rest of the island was just as easy (assuming you have a Jeep.) Abby (the local manager and caretaker) ensured everything was in perfect shape for our visit, and after meeting us in Cruz Bay, escorted us to the cottage and made sure we were comfortable with everything there. The cottage has a very fast and powerful air conditioner, which we only had to turn on in the late afternoons when we returned. Otherwise, ocean breezes were very effective at keeping the cottage comfortable during the night and into the morning. The cottage has a small but efficient gas stove, gas grill, and regular refrigerator if you want to prepare meals there. WiFi and internet access was spotless, and while the cottage had a nice television, we can’t make any comment on the cable quality as we didn’t watch TV while we were there. Likewise, the hot tub looked clean and inviting, but we’re just not hot tub people.
If you’re a couple planning a visiting St. John, Meritage Cottage should be first on your list to stay.

We absolutely loved staying at this cottage. It was the most perfect romantic getaway for my husband and I. It was very clean the hospitality was great and you can’t beat the views. We had the most perfect sunset views. And having breakfast on the deck counting the iguanas in the tree was our favorite morning activity. We left a piece of our hearts at this cottage in St. John and we plan to book here every year. We have finally found our forever home away from home.

All About Location
Views were amazing. Cottage cosy for two people but too close to large rental next door. Would explain to guests renting cottage to be prepared for noise and lack of concern for future cottage guests.
Would also need to be informed about power outages and lack of water.

Super Comfortable Cottage
We really enjoyed our time at this perfect little cottage. Property Manager and Owners were fantastic. King bed was comfy, kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals & full size fridge was appreciated. The large private deck has ridiculously beautiful views! Hot Tub was great after full days exploring St Johns trails and beaches. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck and had fun playing spot the Iguanas (who hang out in the tree tops below in the AM to warm up). The few bug bites were worth it, would absolutely stay here again.

A Wonderful Rental Property
Our family had a fantastic time staying at Meritage cottage. The cottage itself was immaculately clean and easy to find. Abby the property manager was very personable and made our family feel welcomed. The view is incredible with stunning views of Hart Bay and St. Thomas in the distance. The location is really close to The Dolphin Market, ( near the Westin) if you should need provisions. It is also within 10 minutes to all of the best beaches. We couldn't recommend this property more.

Great Location
Loved staying here. Close to the Cruz Bay restaurants and shops. Short drive to amazing beaches. Loved that it was secluded. The bugs are no joke though, you will want bug spray whether it’s sitting in the deck or just walking to your car. Beach chairs were a little beat up, but functioned just fine. Abby (the property manager) was very helpful. Chris the owner was great to reach out before the trip and give us tips for travel that were very useful. Would totally return!
