About this property

MOONGLOW COTTAGE Spellbinding views, gentle breezes, starry nights.

Moonglow is an octagonal home with spectacular views of Coral Bay and the islands beyond. Vistas abound from every part of this spacious Caribbean home. (A sea view from every room!) The screened outdoor dining veranda is only steps away from a well appointed gourmet kitchen with owner created ceramic tiles complimenting the stainless steel and granite. An air conditioned bedroom with a king size 4 poster bed awaits after a late evening soak in our round intimate spa. The moon and the twinkling lights of the British Virgins are your only distraction!

Perfect amenities at the property, so dont over pack towels or too much beach stuff. Perfect for reconnecting with your loved one. Secluded away from people. We absolutely fell in love with the simple yet open atmosphere of the cottage & how beautiful the sunrises are. Great location from east side neach & 10min to Salt Pond Bay. Little hairy drive up mountain & recommend a jeep. Calabash Market at bottom of hill had great fish for sale on Wed Thur. All in all BEST VACATION EVER!!!

Anniversary at Moonglow
We spent a week at the Moonglow cottage on St. John. The cottage is great - very private, clean, and well appointed. The views are amazing. St. John is hot at the end of June, but the AC in the bedroom meant we could sleep well. Bob made the check-in process easy. We'll definitely stay here again if/when we return to St. John.

Better than expected!
My husband and I chose to stay at Moonglow during our stay on St. John for our 10 year anniversary. Them moment we stepped outside the view stops you in your tracks, its truly amazing. The villa was clean, had everything we need and Bob, the house manager was spectacular. Can't say enough good about the whole experience.

Serene and private cottage in paradise
My husband and I loved our stay at Moonglow. Would come back here. St John’s is an incredible paradise and Moonglow is nestled high up on the mountain side overlooking Coral Bay and the BVIs to the east. We loved waking up every morning to the sunrise, enjoying a morning hot tub, cooking in the well-equipped kitchen, grilling, eating dinner in the breezy veranda, and falling asleep in the very comfy king bed with the east breeze and sound of birds and insects chirping in the lush foliage surrounding the cottage. The property manager Bob was great to work with and made us feel very at home. This cottage is above and beyond any VRBO we have ever booked. So many beautiful details and artwork throughout the house and beautiful plants surrounding the outside (most gorgeous huge silver palm right in the driveway). The pictures don’t do this property justice. Amazing panoramic views of Coral Bay and beyond. Very private, could hear or see any neighbors due to foliage surrounding the property. We also appreciated extras such as the cooler, Tupperware, sunscreen, beach chairs and towels, beach tent, and many small cooler bags….I could go on and on. Thank you for a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Lou Taft

Host profile image
Decades long vistors to St John, we knew years ago that island life was very much a part of us. We dreamed of building a simple but unique green home in harmony with Coral Bay's natural beauty. Moonglow is the result. We welcome you to all that is magical in our island home!

Why they chose this property

After spending many years renting in various parts of Coral Bay, we knew without a doubt that this was the ideal spot!. It was always this particular view which thrilled us more than any other, on an island where every view is beautiful. We bought the land in 2006 and spent the next 8 years planning our dream Caribbean cottage.

What makes this property unique

The circular architecture and multiple large glass doors capture the surrounding view and create a feeling of being one with the outdoors; the valley below and the sea beyond. The open floor plan and cathedral cypress ceiling create a sense of airiness and elegant space which is cooled by the trade winds.
