About this property

Here Comes the Sun: Island Life with Comforts of Home

Here Comes the Sun is located in Calabash Boom, just a few minutes drive from Coral Bay shops, bars/restaurants, hiking trails and beaches. It's an island escape a little off the beaten path yet conveniently located to some of the best activities St. John has to offer.

The cottage's perch on a hillside allows for breezes, sunrises, and views of St. John's East End, Tortola, Norman and Peter Island (BVIs). After a day of hiking or snorkeling, relax on the large wrapped deck, sip a cocktail, and watch the boats or a moonrise. At bedtime, fall asleep to the sounds from the bordering jungle.

Here Comes the Sun also provides guests with a variety of beach gear, including beach chairs, a beach umbrella, beach towels, and cooler with ice packs. We recommend renting snorkel gear and fins from either Beach Bum in Cruz Bay or Crabby's Watersports in Coral Bay.

The cottage comfortably accommodates 2 guests (can sleep up to 3, though it might feel a little cramped; additional fees apply). Traveling with more people? Owners own the neighboring cottage, Summertime Rolls (#1025936), which accommodates up to 2 guests. Email to inquire.

IMPORTANT: A Jeep rental is required, which is standard for getting around St. John and necessary for Coral Bay. A 2-door is strongly recommended for maneuvering/parking. NOTE 1: Guests are responsible for travel to Coral Bay. Schedule pickup of your Jeep upon arrival. Property managers are unable to chauffeur guests, and taxi service to Coral Bay is very limited. NOTE 2: There's a security camera pointed at the driveway for safety and to ensure only allowed persons (guests, services) enter property.

Swim with the Turtles!
Very pleasant stay on this property for 8 nights on St John. Many beaches that were very clean and teeming with snorkeling attractions on the island. Property was clean and had a great view. Bed was comfortable and a/c was adequate. Would stay there again for sure. Property Manager has very specific instructions and recommendations to make your stay as hassle-free as possible so take the time to read and watch the material provided to you.

Amazing views and great area!
The description of the property is spot on. The views really cannot be beat. We loved the Coral bay part of St John. We did snorkeling trip on Cruz Bay side and were so happy that we stayed on the more remote side of the island. If you are timid driver this is probably not a great idea, but that could be said about driving on the island in general. Definitely recommend closely watching the video that Emily sends. Once you do the drive to the cottage the first time it’s really not a big deal. You are close to Salt Bay and Brown Bay which were our favorites so for us the location was absolutely perfect. So happy with our choice to stay at Here Comes the Sun!

Views Abound
1. Clean. This is the cleanest property you will find in Coral Bay. No bugs, no ants, no mess (the entire time). 2. Fantastic views of Hansen Bay, Tortola, Norman Island, and Virgin Gorda. 3. Thoughtfully organized and stocked. 4. Air Conditioning. Separate units on upper and lower level. Works great. You don't have to do much research on Coral Bay area rental properties to realize this is quite a luxury. 5. Property manager Emily is thorough and detailed in rental information and communication. I wish all rental property managers were as detailed oriented as she is for Here Comes The Sun. Great job! Overall assessment: Put this cottage on your short list for any Coral Bay area rental.
