St. John Family Vacay June 2025
Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay at Peaceful Garden. Very clean and had everything we needed. AC in the bedrooms and onsite washer/dryer set this listing apart from many others. It was very nice having filtered drinking water, mainly for brushing teeth and making coffee. The 2-pod set up was cool and we loved the beautiful high ceilings and lots of fans. The outdoor area with hot tub was so serene; great for morning coffee, reading, and stargazing. The outdoor shower added to the exotic experience of island living. Communication was great. Colleen met us and guided us to the property when we arrived. She gave us a quick tour to make sure we were good to go for the week. Everything was in good working order. We were very comfortable during our stay. We would be happy to stay here again!

Wonderful Place for a Family
My wife and our 5 month old son along with my sister and their 15 month old daughter had a wonderful time at your property. It is a lovely quiet retreat with a lot of privacy. The place was spotless and came completely as advertised. We really enjoyed the amenities as the kiddos watched Bluey every morning while the adults packed the Jeeps for the beach. We also enjoyed filling the feeder with sugar and watching the Bananaquits swarm and sing. While on the Coral Bay side of the island, it is closer to the North Shore Beaches than most of the areas near Cruz Bay. I would recommend this place to groups of friends or families looking for a quiet getaway in paradise.

Another great stay
We have stayed at this property in the past and keep coming back, as there is plenty of room, it’s clean, remote enough to feel the tranquility but within walking distance to stores and restaurants, and only a short drive from multiple beaches and hikes. Cant recommend it enough!

Great property, great host
Everything was excellent with the only exception being that in the weeks prior to our arrival the island had received historic rain and the unpaved roads up from Coral Bay had suffered some pretty serious washouts and ruts. Not the hosts fault obviously and our RAV4 handled it well enough.

We loved our time at Colleen and Roger's beautiful house! Tons of space, it had everything we needed, and we really appreciated Roger's suggestions for places to go on the island. It was a great location - quiet but still a short drive to everything. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful secluded getaway in Coral Bay
This property was a wonderful part of our week long stay on St John. The owners were gracious, helpful, and very quick to reply and help with questions. The property was gorgeous - clean, well cared for, well supplied with the essentials, and had the bonus of a lovely hot tub to soak in at the end of the day. I can't recommend this place highly enough!

What a wonderful villa, tucked away in the trees, surrounded by beautiful flowers, and abundant wildlife. Very well appointed and beautiful inside and out. Colleen was a wonderful host and full of information about the island as well as all of the plants around the property. Already looking at dates to go back. We highly recommend Travleler Palm Cottage!!
