About this property

20% Off Oct 19-Nov 29! Here Comes the Sun

Last-minute booking price drop of 20% off (from $295/night to $235/night, Oct 19-Nov 22, 2025; $365/night to $295/night Thanksgiving week, Nov 23-29, 2025!). Sale price reflected when checking availability/booking and excludes taxes, fees, and cleaning.

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 has a mini-split AC both upstairs and downstairs, however, the cottage's perch on a hillside allows for breezes as well as sunrises, moonrises, and views of St. John's East End, Tortola, Norman, and Peter Island (BVIs). Relax on the wrapped deck watching boats and the ever-changing sky. At bedtime, fall asleep to the sounds from the bordering jungle.

Here Comes the Sun uses a triple-filtered, UV-purified water system. It also provides guests with a variety of beach gear, including beach chairs, a beach umbrella, beach towels, floaties, and cooler with ice packs. Sometimes guests leave snorkel gear, but if you plan to snorkel, we strongly advise renting snorkel gear and fins from either Beach Bum in Cruz Bay (next to passenger ferry dock) or Crabby's Water Sports in Coral Bay to get a proper fit and clean gear.

The cottage comfortably accommodates 2 guests. Traveling with more people? Owners own the neighboring cottage, Summertime Rolls (#1025936), which accommodates up to 2 guests. Email to inquire.

IMPORTANT: A car rental is required, which is standard for getting around St. John and making the most of your vacation. We STRONGLY recommend renting a 4WD since roads are a mix of pavement and dirt. A 2-door Jeep is best for maneuvering/parking. NOTE 1: Guests are responsible for travel to Coral Bay. Schedule pickup of your Jeep upon arrival. PMs are unable to chauffeur guests, and taxi service to Coral Bay is limited. NOTE 2: There are 2 exterior cameras: #1 is on the deck's roof pointed at the BVIs and horizon. Its use is for capturing the view. #2 is pointed at the cottage's driveway to monitor for security/trespassing. Audio is OFF on both cameras.

The perfect island retreat

We loved our house! Sunrises and evening dinners on our deck listening to the breezes in the palm fronds. Emily was so helpful and made us feel so at home. The elevation and the views from our deck were spectacular.

Amazing Views

We sooo enjoyed our stay at Here Comes the Sun!! Sam and Kim were wonderful hosts and provided great advice for our stay and adventure. The need to rent a 2 door jeep is 100%accurate. Sam and Kim provided all the extras to make our stay super fun and comfortable. From the cooler and floating chairs to beach umbrella and bugspray, everything was perfect. Hikes, vistas and beaches were all amazing. Only advice to other travelers to St John would be to bring your hiking poles, and watch your step!

Amazing week on St John

This was our first time to St John and this home did not disappoint!! Communication with the property manager was easy, Emily was super helpful and quick to respond.

Amazing View

Here comes the sun is a lovely cottage with an incredible view. The house is spotless, the kitchen has everything you need. Emily is welcoming and helpful- she even taught us how to negotiate the driveway at night. We were largely unaware of anyone else around. It was extremely quiet. A nice plus- the filtered water. Would definitely stay again.

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.

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.

Beautiful View and All the Comforts to Enjoy St John

Loved the view from the deck and the property's landscaping. The cottage is neat, tidy, and well equipped. Very comfortable and in a nice location to enjoy the beauty of St' John's quieter Coral Bay, eastern and south-eastern locations. Communication from the owners and property manager was excellent. Be sure to pay close attention to their guidance on parking, visiting St. John, and use of the property. Their advice was right on. Loved our stay here and hope to return!

Terrific Vacation

We were more than pleased with Here Comes the Sun. It was everything that the pictures showed and more. All our needs were fulfilled. Emily answered any questions we had before and during. We saw so many sea turtles and stingrays we lost count. The beaches were beautiful. The wildlife or not so wild animals were enjoyable. We would definitely come again and stay at Here Comes the Sun.

Great Location and Wonderful Place to Stay

We love this part of St. John. It has beautiful views and is close to some of the best beaches on St. John. The house is great! It was very clean and really comfortable. It came with all kinds of nice little amenities and Emily; the host was very friendly and helpful. Rhumb Lines which quickly became our favorite restaurant is just a few minutes away and there is a good little pizza place called the Salty Mongoose it is also just down the road. We would happily stay here again.

Beautiful views

We absolutely loved our stay at Here Comes the Sun. Emily was so helpful and the views are gorgeous. We loved having breakfast each morning on the deck and drinks at night. After your first trip up the drive it's easy and the location is really convenient. Staying on the Coral Bay side felt like we rewound to our trips to the islands years ago and it was truly a vacation (much needed after 2 years of pandemic life!). The house was well equipped with coolers, chairs, and more. We will definitely be back!
