Cozy cottage

We stayed in the 1 bedroom cottage on the property which was below the main house with steps going up to the pool area.If it wasn’t for the roosters crowing at 4am I probably would have slept in more.I would definitely schedule another stay. Great private cottage with all the amenities.

The perfect retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location of the home is perfect, we were able to easily commute to some of the best restaurants nearby and be back in no time. The 1BR/1BA cottage had everything we needed upon arrival.. it was very well kept. It really helped us out that beach chairs, snorkel gear, etc was right there waiting for us to use daily. The view from the pool is breath taking.. photos don’t do it justice. The owner was extremely nice and accommodating. We wouldn’t hesitate to book here again.. this place is truly such a gem. Thank you James family!

The location is good- just out of town and easy to get to . Beautiful view from the roof !

It’s a great building - just needs some TLC! The shower curtain definitely needs to go and some new sheets would be nice . There are some ancient fans that are rusted and could be replaced . Lovely screened porch with comfy furniture . The kitchen had all we needed .

Great Stay with Thoughtful Amenities

We had a wonderful stay! The check-in process was seamless, and the owner was incredibly responsive and helpful. He even met us at the Jeep rental and personally guided us to the property, which was a nice touch. We really appreciated the beach chairs, cooler, and towels that were provided—they made our beach days so much easier.To be honest, we spent most of our time either at the beach or in town, so we were really only at the property to sleep. The first night, we noticed some mosquitos, but that’s to be expected in the tropics. Overall, a great experience, and we’d stay here again!

Rendezvous Cottage

I will start out by saying that St. John is incredible place and if you're trying to decide between St. John and other islands, this is the place to go. The cottage was fine. It needs some TLC. I think a new coat of paint and fixing the screens on the porch would go a long way. The TV speaker seemed to be blown so we didn't really use it. I definitely would look for something bigger if you have more than 2 people. This was probably my fault but I didn't realize the cottage was downstairs from the pool area so we never used it but the views are amazing up there. Everything with the check-in and out was fantastic. Stacy filled in for James and was great. You definitely need a car. Overall we had a great vacation and enjoyed our time.

Charming & Affordable

This one bedroom worked out great for the two of us. It's a charming place with a great view. James is very accommodating, meeting us the Cruz Bay ferry dock to lead us to the place, which isn't easy to find in the dark. Rental vehicle is needed as it's not close to taxi traffic and roads are not walkable. Short 7-8 min drive to heart of Cruz Bay. It's a bit tired but has all the amenities needed, including full size washer/dryer, beach chairs, big towels and cooler. The king bed is very comfy. We 'lived' on the huge screened porch, with table and small TV. A/C available but we didn't use, the early Feb breezes and shade kept it comfortable. Shared pool deck level is super nice, with spa, rope hammock, and nice lounge chairs, and an even better view as its above the unit. There are steps to navigate. It's the tropics on USVI, so wild roosters with their early morning noise and insects are part of the scene, and the place is not hermetically sealed for the latter.

Fantastic view, great location

The view from our place was amazing. We could look out on the bay from our living room as well as the pool area upstairs. It was a great place to have coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. The location was also optimal. It was just a few minutes from Cruz Bay with its restaurants and shops, but away from the noise and congestion. The host is very responsive and answered the couple of questions we had within minutes. This is our second time staying here and we would stay again.

Spectacular views

James' cottage was the perfect way to experience the natural beauty of St John for the first time. The views were amazing and the indoor/outdoor feeling of the living area made it even more special. It was close enough to town to make it convenient, but far enough to be quiet and peaceful. James made check in a breeze. We would definitely stay there again!

Perfect Spot!

Our stay at James’ house was nothing short of perfect. He met us at the car rental place and we followed him back to the house (driving is fine, but takes some getting used to). He showed us around and that was it! The house is great for people wanting to explore St John or just relax. The porch had a nice breeze most of the day and the pool was refreshing. Very quiet and private. Pro tip: be prepared for steep roads and hairpin turns. Just take it slow and you’ll be ok. 10/10 would rent again!!

Great spot

We stayed for 5 days, husband and son. Our main goal was to explore the beaches and we can’t decide which was our favorite between Trunk and Cinnamon. Driving the local roads probably took a few years off my life but worth it! Next time we will try to plan on making dinners because the restaurants are very expensive.

perfect for us

This rental was a perfect fit for us. We love the indoor/outdoor nature of the way its designed and the added comfort of a pool upstairs. We loved the sounds of birds, tree frogs and roosters. Did not use the AC in the bedroom every night but was glad it was there when we wanted it. Only regret was not wearing insect repellent. The screens are efficient, but this is, after all St. John. In fact, everything about this rental is so "st john" --thats why we love it. James is an excellent host and was very helpful when our flight was delayed and the car rental closed before we arrived. He treated us to drinks and gave us a ride back to town when the car rental agency opened in the morning. Great Stay!!

About the host

Hosted by James Walgenwitt

Host profile image
I'm from New York City, have lived in St. John since 1997 working for Westin, Ritz-Carlton and Marriott. I love the laid back lifestyle so decided I would go into the hospitality business for myself. This is the only property I own (or have ever owned) and have been renovating it since the day I bought it (the renovations never stop, always more to do!)

Why they chose this property

After life in the Big City and the suburbs of New York, life in my neighborhood could not be any easier. For a while I rented a home closer to Cruz Bay (too close) and for a year rented a place in Fish Bay (too remote). Rendezvous is perfect: 5 minutes to Cruz Bay bars, restaurants, groceries, shopping, ferries to St. Thomas. 15 minute drive to all of my favorite beaches on the North Shore, National Park and hiking trails. Easy to catch a boat to British Virgin Islands from Cruz Bay. Quiet, safe neighborhood where I know most of my neighbors and rarely bother to lock my door or take the keys out of my car. I have a big yard I'm always gardening with lots of sun and awesome sunsets, accross the street down Boatman road are awesome views east of Rendezvous Bay and the entire South Shore of St. John, with great sun and moonrises.
