Holiday rentals with a kayak in Tortola

We'd been to St. John years ago and the rental we used in the past was no longer available. In looking for a place to stay for a visit this year, I was afraid we'd need to pay more than I'd expected. I was thrilled to have found the Seahorse and The Turtle as it was affordable and offered what we needed. We found the location to be perfect, it was on the Coral Bay side of the island but between the North Shore beaches and Coral Bay, making it convenient to the beaches or finding a bite to eat in Coral Bay. We found the cottage to be exactly as the pictures showed. It was clean and neat and included all we needed for our time on the beach, including the noodles that make lounging in the water more enjoyable. The line to hang swimsuits and towels ran the length of the deck and was perfect for hanging our things after the trips to the beach. The fact that the cottage was on a paved road, with the driveway at cottage level made travel and loading and unloading the car a breeze.

Can’t say enough good about Karen and her place. She’s a wonderful host and gave us great tips for around the island. She’s friendly and willing to help any way she can. We enjoyed our conversations with her. Her place is great as well. It has a fantastic view over coral bay and is serene and peaceful. It’s located in a great spot so nothing was too far away. We snorkeled every day and only used one tank of gas the entire trip. Her place was super clean and had a lot of windows for great natural light. We used the kitchen hard to save some money and everything worked as expected. Had a great stay and would highly recommend.

Heather was easy to work with. She responded quickly when we needed anything. They live on the property and you have access to them at all times. The kids are active on the level above the bedrooms but we left early everyday so it wasn’t a big deal to us. We used the house as a home base because we were gone from sunrise to sunset most days. It has a beautiful view from the deck. They do a great job providing all the necessities that you need in the house like laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, and even sunblock/bug spray. The roads in the area are bumpy and you need a lot of concentration especially at night . Definitely need an all wheel drive/ 4*4 suv or jeep.

Caron and Dave’s place is immaculate. We stayed in the lower level room and the pictures do not do it justice. St John is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful places in the world and our trip was filled with nothing but beautiful beaches, trails, etc. but Caron and Dave’s place was still the best view we had on our entire trip. The room was very comfortable with a dedicated AC unit and large bathroom. The private porch is the PERFECT place for a morning coffee, which we enjoyed every morning of our trip thanks to the coffee machine provided. The pool is perfect for cooling off with a drink after a long day in the sun. We were even stunned at how beautiful the view was from the parking spots up above the house. Caron and Dave - thank you for an incredible stay and we hope to be back very soon. Having rum and cokes, muffins, and fresh fruit waiting for us when we arrived was also so fun and appreciated. Hope to be back soon!

Truly an awesome experience. Sequoia was a great host. He was accommodating, responded quickly and provided breakfast in the morning. I was able to snorkel with my own gear but he also provides his own gear and vest if needed. This stay is amazing but not for everyone. If you get sea sick, definitely bring medicine. You do feel the boat rock but it was pleasant for me. It can get a bit hot in the cabin. If you are not used to not having AC, definitely reconsider staying here. The fan helps but just a warning!

Thanks so much for opening your house for our stay in the BVIS. It was a great family vacation with my kids for their 1st time flying on Spring Break. Its a beautiful place. Dave was great on communicating prior to the trip and Marilyn was great greeting and helping us. I just could not wait to get up to enjoy the views and waves splashing. The only down fall was we did not have access to the 4th bedroom area on the bottom level so it was not the entire house for everyone to choose rooms. My youngest son did complain that his blanket in the 2 twin bedroom was rough and wanted other blankets so wasnt sure if bottom level could have had other options to pick from. That's the only thing we were disappointed with. We did many things thru the week around Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Jost and private charter. I cant wait to come back and hope to stay here with access to all rooms as we could bring others to experience. Highly recommend this gorgeous villa.

Mario met us at the ferry terminal and made sure the car rental gave us the 4 wheel drive we requested. He was quick to respond and very helpful. The cottage is quiet, adequately stocked and has a beautiful view of Brewer’s Bay. It will be a very fond memory. I would love to return sometime.

This unit is absolutely stunning inside with beautiful fixtures, high end materials, comfortable furniture, endless space and truly tasteful appointments. There isn’t a thing we can think of that needs improving! Even though it’s not directly on the beach, you’re about as close to “off beach” as it gets with great water views of Chocolate Hole from the first level patio and upstairs deck. We loved snorkeling with the turtles and tropical fish as there’s a beautiful reef and coral along the left shoreline. The availability of paddle boards and kayaks, right on the shore, was also fun and made it super easy to explore. The location is perfect, just far enough away from the action but also close enough to get to all the restaurants and shopping in Cruz Bay, as well as endless choices of beaches and hikes. Our hosts were very helpful, always responsive and made our stay truly care free and memorable. Hands down, 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ !
