Limetree Cottage at Chocolate Hole

arched double windows & doors which open the house to the outside and let in cool breezes. The high vaulted ceilings feature large wooden beams and numerous ceiling fans keep everything so nice that we didn't need A/C although it was available in the bedroom. The one night we used it, we were really cool. The interior furnishings & accessories are contemporary, creative, comfortable and thoughtfully selected. There was plenty of room for our suitcases and other belongings. The bathroom is nicely renovated with tilework; the open kitchen has all new appliances and is well-stocked with everything we could imagine needing . And then there is the property! Large, quiet, and private, we loved the abundant pink, yellow & blue flowers with yellow, orange, and white butterflies everywhere. From an expansive covered porch there is a million dollar view of three bays, plus you can see all the way to St Thomas! Nights were magical with tree frogs chirping and twinkling lights of sailboats floating in the bay. It is impossible to take a bad picture from the porch. We didn't use it, but there is a large outdoor grill and a really interesting round, cushioned swing - perfect for swiveling to enjoy the 180 degree views. We made use of the well-supplied laundry room on the lower level where there was also a cute single-occupancy room and bath which any teenager would love. The owners are easy to communicate with and the local property managers respond promptly if you have any questions. Our daughter lives on the island and helped us pick out this house. After running a B&B with cottages for 36 years, we appreciate the detail and care that has been put into making this a great rental. It is truly a special find and we hope to stay here again. Thank you so much!

Wonderfull location we truly enjoyed the Quite neighborhood and the beautiful clean surroundings confortable beds BUT But please note that the Mosquitos inside the bedroom at night bite you without notice We think the bedrooms should be equipped+ Morewith nets that is why we are giving this house only a 4 star rating

We really loved Limetree cottage. we would definitely recommend to our friends and would stay again! The bed was comfortable and shower was great! We enjoyed using the kitchen and grill and living on the deck. We were really grateful for the beach+ Morechairs, towels and coolers! 2 tiny little things: we could have used more washcloths; and the toaster was on its last leg...we had to hold the lever down.

A slice of heaven all was amazing we totally love this home and St John. The view the comfort the amenities (coffee and tea supplied and some snacks very thoughtful) we have traveled a lot and own 3 homes in the water and this place rivals all the+ Moreabove places. We will someday Return and spread the word!

January 13, 2023 by Norman Levin

Our stay at the cottage was the best in our experience. The owners thoughtfully provided for visitors' every need and simply asked that we be considerate of the next guests, no irritating list of things to do. The cottage itself was exceptionally+ Morebeautiful and comfortable. The deck provided a view that is memorable and invited us to stay there all day. Although we visited the beaches daily, we had a cool and comfortable place to return to for the evening with refreshing ocean breezes or going to the many good restaurants nearby. A better place could not be found on the island in our experience.

Wow, wow, wow! What a beautiful villa, amazing views and one of the most comfortable beds ever.

Overall the property is great! It was minutes from the car ferry and minutes from Cruz Bay if you take the people ferry. It was well stocked with beach gear including sunscreen and snorkel equipment, the kitchen had everything needed if you wanted+ Moreto prepare meals. We didn't. The large porch was wonderful for hanging out in the evening after full days at the beach. The second bedroom/bathroom downstairs is really only appropriate to accommodate older kids not adults. The shower is minuscule. A clear or lighter colored shower curtain would help make it feel less claustrophobic. Mosquitos were a big problem in the downstairs bedroom/bath but the property manager fixed the screens the next day and it was fine for sleeping on night two. My only other suggestion would be to service/update the split unit air conditioners. They were really struggling to keep the bedrooms cool. I would definitely book again if I only needed to use the primary bed/bath.

Amazing scenic views and breeze. Could not have asked for a better place to relax with a view. I used every opportunity to leave the doors open for fresh air and a warm breeze.

Beautiful location with amazing views. Fairly quick response time when we had to ask for an ironing board. Very nice to have beach chairs, towels and coolers. Some confusion and discrepancy with the house info link I was given vs what was printed+ Moreout as a reference at the house (re: address #/location). Although the kitchen had plenty of dishware, glassware and utensils, one very large pizza pan was the only baking sheet. Aluminum foil and plastic wrap would also be a plus for those getting take-out or cooking in. If you need taxi service, highly recommend Ricky Penn on the list given. He was excellent.

We enjoyed staying at Limetree cottage. It was clean, comfortable, has everything what you need for a happy vacation. We watched sunrise on eastern side of the porch and sunset on the western part. The porch is great with a nice constant breeze from+ Morethe east. Everything was in a working condition, coffee was great, wi-fi no problem, TV no problem, air conditioning no problem. It is close to the shopping center and a gas station, but at the same time it is a very private and secluded place.

I have rented homes on St. John for 25 years never have I arrived to find absolutely no ice in the house. There was nothing good about having to go back out to the store to buy a bag of ice when all I wanted was to sit on the deck and have a drink.+ MoreThere are several stairs going down to the lower level that have split on the leading edge, an issue that is glaringly obvious and should have been repaired long ago. This is an injury waiting to happen. So much so that we did not use the lower level bedroom as planned for the second guest. As instructed I contacted Basil, both by a call and text, concerning difficulties in establishing connection on the TV. I asked if he could stop by to assist. His reply, verbatim what is written on the paper at the house. If that had worked I would not have reached out for assistance. None was given.

We had a wonderful time, and the house was exactly as advertised! Thanks so much for a great stay!

We spent a week at the property last week. Overall we liked the location and the patio. The house is very well stocked with household items except one thing, ice (ice maker).

This place was amazing! I felt so lucky to stay there. This house had so much character. The feature that I loved the most, was the shutter doors that you could open up and let the breeze in. I loved sitting out on the deck drinking my coffee or+ Morehaving a glass of wine. The owners provided everything you could possibly need, and everything was in excellent shape. The knives were even sharp. Sometimes, that's hard to come by when you are staying at a rental. They provided beach chairs that were in great shape. That was a really nice bonus. The bed was super comfortable. There is a washer and dryer which is also a nice bonus I would only say the only negative about this whole place, was the downstairs bedroom kind of felt like a dungeon. There was no way to get there unless you go outside and go down some stairs. I don't think I would let my 10 year stay down there. Good thing she wasn't with us. If she were, I would have had her just sleep on the couch. I loved Limetree. I only wish I had more time to spend there. It was heaven!
