Photos and Description of this Coral Bay holiday Private, Cozy 1 BR w/ ensuite bathroom; 1/2 BA up with outdoor shower

Walk down the stairs through the tropical forest, around the deck to see the fabulous ocean views. This round cabin is very cozy and private - great for honeymoons or a getaway for two. The round house has a wrap-around deck with 180-degree views of St. John,Virgin Gorda, Peter& Norman Islands and Tortola. There is one room upstairs which includes a fully appointed galley kitchen, a dining area, and a living area -- complete with potable water, high speed wireless Internet service, cable TV, a VCR, CD player, radio, and great books, beach chairs and a cooler. There's a half bath on the main floor, and a private outdoor shower with two shower heads and lots of hot water. Walk downstairs (outdoors) to the air conditioned bedroom/office with a king-size bed on a platform reminiscent of a boats V berth. We have a brand new full bathroom downstairs with direct access from the bedroom-new this season! Watch the sun rises over the ocean while lying in bed. Listen to the waves.........

A week in St John, priceless!

Carol and Jim South Hadley, MA
Review Submitted: August 20, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
5/16-5/23/08
With a sigh of contentment, I'm sitting out on the deck of Captain's Cabin looking around at the million dollar view (full moon rise) :). Time has moved more slowly this week and Jim and I have snorkeled every morning. I taught Biology for many years but books and videos can't come close to viewing the natural wonders first hand. The varied and dynamic life on the coral reef is a world away from the every day life back home in New England. In our opinion, the best snorkeling spots are those here on the South Shore. Our favorite: Great Lameshur Snorkel around the rocky shore on the left side of the beach and keep going! You'll see everything mentioned in this book (Captain's Cabin guestbook in the house) and more. Our favorites: a giant spotted ray (Spotted Eagle Ray), wahoo, nurse shark, and the amazing multi chromatic squid.
Don't miss the hamburgers at Skinny Legs and Vie's garlic chicken. You can get your basic groceries at Lily's Market (a.k.a. Iraqi Packi) and beer, wine, rum, tequilla as well. Just expect to pay more.
If Sue and Dan can accommodate you for a day of sailing on the 46' Shakti, you'll have a fantastic time. Thanks again, Sue for sharing this paradise and being such a considerate host.

Review Submitted: March 4, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
Having been to St John on day trips from St Thomas while on cruises, we decided to spend a week here, as this is one of our favorite islands. Upon reading all the great reviews and checking out the many pictures and descriptions, we decided this could be just the place to relax. We were not disappointed! So as not to rehash all the beach and restaurant reviews I will 2nd all the previous choices.
In summary, if you are looking for a 4 star resort this is not the place, if a cozy,relaxing,peaceful,million dollar view setting is what you seek then look no further. Sue was great and easy to work with and we look forward to a return visit. Thanks Sue!

Best Trip Yet

PoolGuy Columbus, OH
Review Submitted: December 19, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2008
I have been coming to St. John for eight years or so. I have stayed all over the island in all kinds of places. Captain's Cabin is perfect. It was easy to see that the property is treasured by the owners. CC is clean. The outside of property is well groomed (vegetation grows crazy during the rainy season). The whole set up is extremely user friendly and well thought, example: when you need a hook for your towel - it's there! The kitchen has any and every tool / appliance that you will need. The new second bathroom is awesome! If only I had a view like that when I shower at home...

As for the scenery and atmosphere, CC cannot be beat. Breakfast on the deck before heading to the beach is all the motivation you need for a fantastic day on St. John. If you are smart, you will spend a day sailing on the Shakti with Sue and Dan. If you love the water, it will be the best day of your vacation. Sailing does not get much better. What a beautiful boat and there are not two better people to spend the day with sailing. If you are lucky, they might let you drive!

Coral bay is great little town. Very low key and relaxed place. There are all kinds of local friends to be made. Have fun and remember to slow down and enjoy your trip before its gone.

Wonderful and cozy place to stay

Review Submitted: July 6, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2007
I'm getting ready to book my second trip back to St John and couldn't help but notice the last review. I found Captains Cabin to be everything that the website said it was and "more". The views from all the rooms were even better in person than they were online.(BREATHTAKING) I found the bedroom to be quite unique and comfortable My husband and I just adored this place. We did meet the owner and thought that she was extremely nice and very accommodating. They even invited us to their other house for hor'doerves and cocktails one night ! My husband and I are looking forward to our return visit !!!!!

Too rustic!

Nicepeople Ca
Review Submitted: May 12, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
We arrived to find out that this cabin is actually two tiny cabins connected by an exterior stair case. This means that in order to get from the bedroom to the upstairs bathroom you have to get out of the cabin downstairs, go outside, walk up the stairs, hopefully, you have the key, get in and use the bathroom and go back outside, down the stairs to go back to bed. While this might not sound that bad, it turns into an extremely scary situation because without the automatic lights it's pitch dark. On top of that the bedroom that you're staying in has a ceiling so low that you're likely to hit your head when getting into bed. Clostrophobic is the best way to describe the bedroom, which made it impossible to rest. Seeing outside, you could make out the staircase and the ocean, but because it's so low you don't get much of a panorama. It's not bad during the day, but at night you're in a horror flick. The battle-hardened lady knew exactly what to say and how to say it, as if she was reading off a pre-written sheet when we called her about this. I truly hope the comments below were unsolicited because that's what we based our decision on. I also hope this sheds some light. Thank you.
Owner's Response: Captain's Cabin, along with lots of homes in the Caribbean, has an outdoor staircase leading to the bedroom. The photos and information clearly shows this on all of our websites. Captain's Cabin is quite unique and built like a boat-hence the low ceiling clearance over the loft-style bed. The majority of the bedroom has normal ceiling height with desk, chair, built in dressers and lots of cupboard space. The views from the bedroom are spectacular as they are from the entire very private home. We've constantly being told by our guests that these are the best views on the island and the photos don't do it justice.

There are three motion detectors that clearly illuminate the way to the bathroom for those late night trips. We also have flashlights in the bedroom and the main living area.

As for the "battle-hardened lady" comment. ...My response to her regarding the outdoor staircase was saying I was sorry she wasn't happy. I then asked her if she had looked at the photos and information on all of our websites which clearly show how Captain's Cabin was laid out. People love to stay with us because it is so different.
As you know, people write their own unsolicited reviews. This is our very first negative review -ever!
