Private clean amazing villa stay!
Overall we had the BEST Vacation! The house is adorable and my teenage daughter loved to have her own mini condo downstairs. Very clean and enjoyable! Having a gate to the house made us feel more secure from the roaming Donkeys that are friendly! Plenty of space and had everything we needed to cook with! Grill was clean and amazing. Pool was a great treat after the day at the beach. The outdoor shower was perfect to get all the sand off! The road to the house is "off roading". Anyone that cant drive off road may have issues. My kids and I didnt mind it. It rained a few days and the roads get slippery. Be ready for a driving adventure...I didnt mind it as we had so much privacy at the house. My only suggestions would be to add more sleeping pillows for comfort. We each had one pillow and would have liked to have two. Also 2 beach chairs were broken and super rusty so we only had 2 to use. The windows wouldn't open in the house. We kept the A/C on when we were there but would have preferred the windows open to enjoy the breeze.

Lovely little jungle getaway.
It was a great private and secluded residence where we felt comfortable and safe. I would not recommend this for anyone not comfortable driving a 4 wheel vehicle but then again that's all anyone should be driving on St.John anyway! The pool was refreshing as well.

Peaceful Property
We really enjoyed our stay at New Moon. Basement was a bit musty smelling and dark, so we didn't go down there to watch tv. But who needs to watch tv in St. John. The property is peaceful with beautiful flowers and tropical trees, that was our favorite part.

Classic St. John
Nice, clean, private, comfortable house with beautiful grounds in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. Deck and pool are perfect for non-beach chill out days and the screened-in porch is lovely. Owner and property managers are friendly, laid-back, good communicators, and very helpful. We loved our time here, would come back again!

Excellent Coral Bay Gem
I highly recommend this property if you’re looking to stay in the Coral Bay side of STJ. It’s a very quiet, secluded property with nice amenities and sleeps 4-5. Great pool and deck as well as a double hammock up on a perch above the main house. Kitchen is a perfect size, and beach amenities are provided for guests. The drive to the house is a little challenging at first, but once you get the route down, it’s easy to get back to. House is located centrally to the Hwy 20 turnoff to the north shore beaches, East End beaches and south shore beaches. The host and property manager were very attentive to visitors’ needs and checked in during the trip. All in all a gem in the best part of STJ!

Nestled in the trees in Coral Bay upper Carolina
This is a charming home nestled in the trees. We stay in St John several times a year and this is one of the best priced homes on the island for what it offers. The master bedroom has a king size bed and is very comfortable however it takes up the entire room so you cannot walk around to get in or out for the person on the inside. No AC in the master bedroom. You have to sleep with the panels open to pull ac from the living room. It was hot so we closed the storm doors to keep the house cool day and night. The second bedroom really is not a bedroom it is a small addition area that is SO HOT and no ac with 2 twin beds side by side and no window coverings so up at the crack of dawn. Great for kids. We closed it off and put luggage in it. To watch TV you have to go outside, down the front steps and under the house to the media room. It is cool, dark and has AC and a toilet, full size laundry and a counter top with a sink. It really looks like it is the belly of a ship. Outside the pool is very relaxing, a great deck and a new gas BBQ. The screened in porch is great for morning coffee. You will have lots of geckos, mosquito's and jack Spaniards around due to the woodsy location. You will need 4x4 to get to it but it is fun. Our biggest downside was the mosquitoes. We stayed in Rendezvous a week before and not 1 bite but here we were covered in 2 days. The trees/woodsy location brings the mosquitoes. Great home and accommodations.

Casual secluded home surrounded by beauty
Our stay here was fantastic and this is definitely the best value on the island. This is a quaint little cottage but with plenty of room to spread out. Despite the road leading to it, the location offers easy access to Coral Bay restaurants and shopping. The kitchen was well-appointed and the grill seemed brand new. The deck was great at night for star gazing and offers a limited view of the water. The downstairs media room was a little disappointing because it smelled like it had been recently fumigated so our kids just slept in the nook off the main floor. Overall, super solid place to stay and no regrets renting it at all.

All you need too relax and have a pool day, or get out on the beaches. Convenient too stores and restaurants. Our host Jared was just a call or text away. Overall great experience!!!

Adorable clean secluded cottage
My husband and I had a wonderful stay. Its a very clean, secluded adorable cottage.We would definitely stay again. We are actually looking at our calendars so we can begin booking another stay. We really enjoyed the private pool after a long day of travel or after a day at the beach. The road is bouncy like others had said but we didn’t really have a issue with that once we found it. We did have a 4 wheel drive. The kitchen was well equipped and the ac kept it comfortable. I definitely give this 2 bedroom, 1-12 bath adorable cottage 5 stars.

Hidden Gem
My friend and I stayed for a week at New Moon Escape and had a wonderful time! The cottage is cozy and well-equipped with pretty much everything you need, including beach towels, extra linens, cookware, beach chairs, etc. The pool and deck were lovely and the screened-in porch was a nice place to enjoy our morning coffee. Communication with Jared was excellent and the check-in/check-out process was turnkey. The five-minute drive from the main road to the cottage was quite the adventure, but we thought it was fun. As others have stated, a 4-wheel drive vehicle is pretty much necessary. The cottage is just minutes from several restaurants and two small grocery stores. I highly recommend Dolphin Market - they have fresh produce as well as a nice selection of cheeses, crackers, hummus, etc. Overall, it was an amazing stay at New Moon Escape - highly recommend!

Loved St John cottage - Great house, beautiful grounds and pool..
Perfect for our family group. Check in was easy. The house is very nice, was clean and comfortable. Pool and upper deck were amazing, gardens/grounds are beautiful and quiet at night. Only downside for some people would be the somewhat difficult (bumpy, no signs) roads past Love City market to get there. We had been to STJ and Coral Bay many times so were aware of the road situation, you definitely need a jeep to get there. Loved being right in Coral Bay close to most of our favorite places, beaches, bars, local friends etc..

Remote Paradise
Can not say enough great things about this property. The house is exactly what you need to stay in a remote part of St. John. The views of the mountains and night sky where amazing. The house was well kept up and nice safe place to be for a week. The kitchen is well stocked with what you need for cooking in or bringing food back. The Pool and deck are outstanding. The wild life around the house adds to the since of remoteness on the island. Jared and Keri, are absolutely the best to work with, from the time you reserve all the way through your departure they are there to answer anything and help get the best out of your stay. A word of caution, the road up to the house is adventurous, you do need an all wheel drive or 4x4. I would return and recommend it to anyone visiting St. John.
