Perfection -again!

This is our second stay at Tradewinds and it was once again perfect! The view is breathtaking! The cottage is clean and has everything you need for a perfect visit. Krista checks in from time to time and responds quickly to questions. Great place to stay - don’t miss out!

Magnificent Views from the Deck

Tradewinds is a wonderful spot off the beaten path in the Salt Pond area. After a day exploring the island we would return to views of Norman Island and Coral Bay. Krista was very informative and responsive to any inquiries. I highly recommend Tradewinds.

A real gem!

Tradewinds was a terrific choice for our family of four adults - our first trip to St John. If you are planning to stay on the east side of the island, you don't need to look any further. Tradewinds offers spectacular views, comfortable accommodations, easy access to great beaches and snorkeling, amazing stargazing, beach gear and a fully equipped kitchen. Krista is a super friendly, helpful and responsive host. We can't wait to return!

The view!

We had a terrific time in St. John and loved staying at Tradewinds Cottage. The views were amazing and we felt at home right away. It had everything we needed and we enjoyed having a few less crowded beach options a short ride from the house. We would highly recommend Tradewinds Cottage!

The view from this property overlooking the ocean is fabulous. We could hear the waves hitting the shore. We would spend the evenings lying on the deck amazed seeing the stars overhead. This property is on the quiet side of the island away from all the lights of Cruz Bay allowing for the wonderful nighttime light show!

Wonderful vacation

This was an excellent place to stay, perfect for just the two of us or if you wanted to add to others there is a downstairs with great views also. Quiet neighborhood with friendly people. It is a bit of a hike to and from Cruz Bay but we enjoyed the drive every day. Would recommend this place to anyone that’s looking for a quiet hideaway

Perfect!!

This was perfect for our family! The downstairs bedroom was enjoyed by our 18 and 22 year old sons…a nice separation for them. Everything we needed was available (beach chairs, beach towels, cooler and beach bags,). The view is insurmountable- anytime of the day. We fell in love with Tradewinds and will be back!

Winter Vacation

My wife and I stayed at Tradewinds with some friends for a week in the sun! The house was perfect for us with two private sleeping spaces and associated bathrooms. The views from the home are breathtaking. The home was very clean and located 10-15 minutes from Coral Bay resulting in a quiet and secluded stay while being close close to great food and beaches. Krista was an excellent host: she was very responsive with messages before and during our trip. We would 100% stay here again.

Great place to stay.

For two adults Tradewinds is pretty close to perfect. The cottage itself felt very light and airy with amazing views of John’s Folly. Check in was easy and the owner was very responsive to questions. Like most of St. John, you would be wise to utilize a four wheel drive Jeep to access the house. But don’t worry, the driveway is not crazy steep like some and is easy to find.

Sunrises in Paradise

Everything about this stay was great. One one direction it's just a two minute drive to Salt Pond bay and the trail head to Rams Head, and in the other direction it's only 10 minutes to Skinny Legs' amazing burgers or a half hour to an amazing sunset view at Trunk Bay. Waking up every morning to an amazing sunrise right from your back porch was indescribable. We absolutely recommend the property to anyone looking to get away

Great stay

Tradewinds is a charming cottage perched on a hillside with incredible views. It is on the sleepier side of St. John, which made it even more relaxing, but there are small grocery stores and a handful of restaurants just a 10 minute drive away. There are a few beautiful beaches nearby and it's a 20-30 minute drive to the more popular beaches on the north side of the island. Krista was extremely responsive and helpful throughout. We really enjoyed our visit!

Amazing Views!

Trade winds has the most amazing views and also lives up to its name with cool, constant winds that remind you that you are squarely in a sailors dream. Loved seeing BVI lights at night and sunrise in the morning. The cottage has everything you need for beach excursions. Less than 5 minutes to Salt Pond beach and the beautiful Rams Head trail. Missing SJ already!

Return to Paradise

Tradewinds Cottage has everything you need for a St John vacation. Well equipped kitchen plus coolers and beach chairs for hitting some of the best beaches in the world. A deck with a fabulous view high above the ocean. Comfortable furniture inside and out. Neat and very clean. You may be on the “quiet” side of St John but there many bars and restaurants for those days when you want to eat out. The island is small so no attractions are very far away. Krista, the host, treated us like family and was quickly available by text to fix any minor problem. My strongest recommendation for Tradewinds Cottage is that this was our fifth time there.

Outstanding view and host!

Relaxing oasis, amazing views with a caring host who helped us through unchartered waters; an unexpected tropical storm. Krista’s property manager, Mike was knowledgeable and helpful- who arrived promptly to help secure the property before the storm arrived. Storm didn’t dampen our stay!! We took advantage of the downtime to relax and read! Krista’s home is well furnished, well appointed and I’d highly recommend!!!! Thank you for your caring ways, Krista

Beautiful View, Cozy Cottage

We loved our stay at Tradewinds! The outstanding view with an equally outstanding porch made for a great stay. Everything in the house was exactly as picture. Cozy and easy to locate everything you need. The only suggestion I have is giving guests a dropped pin on Google Maps, or the coordinates of the house. We didn't realize we wouldn't arrive at our destination if we used the location provided through VRBO. PDF map provided by the host absolutely gets you to the house, but if you don't think to use that map, it is tricky to find the house. Only complaint, and it is a small one!

Everything you need

The owner had everything we might need for St John in addition to a lovely property hidden away in a quiet neighborhood. We loved the views, especially at sunrise. Owner provides beach chairs, tons of cooking equipment, even some basics like coffee filters. This was great because often St. John is a little short on these items or they are quite expensive to buy to only use a few. This is further away from the most popular beaches and the busy Cruz Bay Area. A Jeep is necessary, but we enjoyed the adventurous driving and quiet, private space. Fall asleep to the trade winds’ breeze at night and do some star watching on the deck before you call it a night. The light pollution is low, and you’ll come home feeling restored.

Perched on a hillside

Perched on a hillside with excellent views & easy access.. We four adults had plenty of room with two bedrooms. Kitchen is well appointed. Large sea facing windows in every room. Great deck for afternoons after exploring & snorkeling. Beds & pillows very comfortable. We signed into Netflix & PBS with our code. Wifi is spotty but adequate. (I hear that is Island wide though.). Wonderful breeze all day & night. Very safe, quiet & private setting. Krista, the host is very responsive & very friendly. She was a great help when one of us needed direction for a medical issue that occurred. She has a very positive/ can do attitude. It was a pleasure working with her.
