Lovely Stay at Ayiti Cottage
Book it! Everything was picturesque and perfect from the breathtaking views of Fish Bay, great communication, and excellent host hospitality, this is the perfect little cottage for a getaway for two! It was nice to be a little apart from the buzz of Cruz Bay, but still a convenient 7 min away!

This cottage is petite, but had everything we needed. The hosts were very kind and even used their generator when we lost power. The location was perfect for us and had great views!

Beautiful stay, beautiful landscape. 10 mins from Cruz Bay, 10 mins from the Windmill Bar. Perfect for the two of us, had everything we needed. The porch view was just wonderful. One recommend, the hot tub water smelled a bit stale, may have needed some chemicals and it took hours to heat up (which they told us about) so we only used once. Great communication with owners. Enjoyed the little bird that came to visit every morning on the porch and the iguana that climbed up the tree. Shower was lovely, bed was comfy... you need a jeep here. Thankful and well rested.

Never again.
I will never stay at this place again or recommend. The electricity went out which was no fault of the owner but they would not turn on the generator so we had no water or electricity for 2 days. No water and no way to flush the toilet. Owner stopped responding at one point. Sent someone to turn on generator after throwing a fit. Turned on generator for about 5 minutes then it turned off and they left never said a word as to why the generator was not left on. Never heard back. At one point they found us a place to stay in St Thomas but it was 9pm at night. Pointless because we had a car rental and no way to get to st Thomas.

Out of the way, quiet
Comfortable King Bed, beautiful view. Functional kitchen. Hard to find at first as GPS/Maps doesn't show it. Best car to rent is a 2 door jeep as parking at Mongoose Junction is easier with a shorter vehicle. Lot's of places to eat and snorkel. Check wardrobe for maps and brochures. .

The view was amazing! But as for the cottage is old and outdated. It’s in the mountains so definitely need to rent a truck to get around. The window in kitchen was broken, the sliding door screen and front screen were malfunctioning, my husband tried to fix them. No ventilation so if attempting to cook alarm (which is great) keeps beeping. The tv started working and half way through our trip didn’t work.

Perfect Getaway for Two (W & D)
Absolutely perfect! Cute, quiet, secure, safe place. Beautiful view of Fish Bay from the porch area off the bungalow. The sounds of birds, peepers/bugs, ocean, wind, and waves are just what we wanted to hear. It's within a short drive to the market, and not too far from Mongoose Junction, and the beaches. Oleg & Zlata stayed in touch, never intrusive - and answered any questions that came up. Kudos to their friend, Alena for checking in on us to make sure we were comfortable and settled. We didn't want to leave! We definitely want to book here again. 5 stars PLUS! I've been to STJ 3 times, and this was, by far, the best place I've stayed! See you again next Spring!!! Sending love!!!

Best experience with a rental ever!
Stayed in April and couldn’t be happier or more impressed with the cottage. First, they have a water filtration system, and we felt safe drinking the tap water, plenty hot and cold. Never lost power or internet. We only needed the gentle hum of the window unit at night. Surprising how comfortable the breezes through the screened windows made the cottage.The cottage is extraordinarily clean everywhere, even behind and under furniture and is laid out very well with a sitting area at the end of the bed and a big closet. The kitchen has quality pans and utensils. Oleg offered his propane outdoor grill, which I used. Nothing like grilling out in paradise! We cooked 3 meals and ate them on the bistro dining set on the porch/patio overlooking Fish Bay, best table on the island! The other side is a super comfy outdoor couch with a coffee table perfect for morning coffee while waiting for the sunrise over the mountain. The bathroom is roomy enough. Plenty of toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags were provided. The hot tub works and is amazing at night under the stars. Shaded from the afternoon sun, you won’t burn during a daytime dip. The road out to this slice of heaven is a challenge but the serenity is worth it. Quick trip to the store is just 10 minutes from Cruz Bay. It's worth twice the price, we will be back. Zlata and Oleg are very friendly and kind hosts. If you see a bird with a broken wing tapping on your window wanting a cracker, that's Loopy. Hope to see them again!

Wonderful place to stay. View from back deck was beautiful, just as advertised by Vrbo. Beach accessories were very helpful with our beach adventures. Zlada and Oleg were very friendly and helpful with answering questions about where to snorkel. We enjoyed our stay!

Perfect stay
My husband and I came to STJ for the first time for the VIJamfest and this was a perfect little spot for us to stay for the week. It felt so far away from town but still close enough that we could run into Cruz Bay to grab food, groceries and drinks in a matter of minutes. We could also go straight (haha, matter of speaking of course with the uber curvy roads) north and be at The Windmill Bar for the music festival. Even driving out east to Rams Head for hiking and the beach seemed quick with all the beautiful views along the way. Zlata was a wonderful host and so helpful suggesting places to eat and the best beaches and hiking trails. All the little additional things at the cottage were so nice too, including bug deterant candles, sunscreen, toiletries, a cooler, beach chairs, towels and shopping bags. It was just the most beautiful view from the front porch also, I could talk about it all day and never do it justice. 10/10 We can't wait to come back!

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. Very secluded. Not hard to get to. Great view of the Caribbean and Fish Bay. Oleg and Zlata were wonderful hosts. Everything was as it should be very quiet. St. John’s is a beautiful island and we were able to visit many beaches from this location. We would recommend this place to others and will stay again.

The cozy little cottage was nestled in the trees overlooking Fish Bay. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay. It was nice to have beach chairs and towels that we used daily for our trips to the beaches. The owner greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the property.

Fish Bay Cottage
We enjoyed our stay at this very nice small comfortable cottage. The view from the deck was amazing and relaxing. The location was very private and quiet, but close enough to town to be convenient. I would recommend that a ceiling fan be added to the outside deck. This would elevate the deck experience and help to keep the mosquitoes away. Our host was very nice and popped over on our first day to welcome us and provide information about the cottage and the surrounding area.

Just Perfect!
This sweet, well-equipped and clean cottage is a perfect place for two. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, with lots of birds, and not too far from Cruz Bay to run in for dinner at night. We enjoyed coffee time on the porch in the mornings with a view of Fish Bay. Ayiti has everything you need for a comfortable stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. Zlata and Oleg are the friendliest and warmest hosts:) We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Perfect cottage for a quiet getaway!
We stayed at Ayiti cottage for a week in June 2023. The cottage is located in a quiet neighborhood and has a great view of Fish Bay. The drive to/from Cruz Bay is easy (about 15 minutes). The north shore beaches are fairly close as well (about 30 minutes). The cottage was very clean and furnished with everything we needed, including beach towels and a cooler. We hope to return for another visit someday, and if we do, we will stay at this charming cottage again.
