This hidden gem was perfect! Location was nice and close to town and the updated home had all the necessary amenities and toiletries. Our host really thought of the details which allowed us to just enjoy our vacation as a family of 5. And the view was amazing….We’ll be back!

Samuel’s Cottage was perfect for our third trip to St John! We prefer to stay close, and this location was great for walking into town, but providing more privacy than being “in the town”. The place is well air conditioned, and clean! Provides many amenities including beach chairs, beach towels, and extra linens/pillows. It is a steep driveway, so driving up/down is fine, but if you plan to walk everywhere, the hill is not suited for mobility issues.

Julice was very helpful answering all of our questions. The location and accommodations were exactly as described and perfect for our family. Definitely recommend getting a cab from the ferry dock if you have luggage. The hill to the cottage is steep but completely manageable after arrival. We will definitely be back again.

Samuel cottages was a great place to stay. It’s close enough to walk to Cruz Bay and there is parking for a rental car. The house is as described. AC is great. Beds are comfortable. We did not sleep on the couch bed. Water pressure is good. Host is responsive and helpful.

Beautiful St. John

We had a great trip to St. John and an overall positive stay at this property. The cottage was clean, well-located, and had most of what we needed. We appreciated the use of the cooler, beach chairs, and beach towels. A few small additions like extra trash bags or a laundry basket would have been helpful, but nothing that took away from the trip. Overall, a good place for a laid-back island stay.

A perfectly quaint stay

Overall this is a great place to stay if you’re looking for something simple that has all of the basic essentials. The host was wonderful to communicate with and was helpful whenever needed, everything was very clean and all of the amenities worked great. The only downside to note with this property was the driveway- very steep and narrow proving to be very tricky/risky to get up and down for someone not accustomed to driving steep inclines.

House and amenities were great. Beach chairs, cooler and towels were appreciated.’Nice powerful ac. I would be sure to just tell your cab driver to take you to the Samuel Cottages and not the address listed and it would be helpful to know which cabin letter you are assigned to. We were the bottom cabin and the driveway is very steep to walk down- might be difficult for a mobility challenged person. But otherwise it was clean and well stocked!

Sunset-o-clock

The view is more than breathtaking, it's heavenly. The beds were comfortable, the place was clean and thank you for the beach chairs. Although the location is a little steep to walk to and from the downtown area we did it several times. Thank you again! We highly recommend this VRBO.
