This is our 3rd stay at James' place and it is by far the best value on the island. The view is spectacular. It is close enough to Cruz Bay to make going into town easy but far enough away to be quiet.
Second time staying and we can’t imagine staying anywhere else. We love the location, the porch, the cold air conditioner at night - everything about the place. We love that we don’t have to go into downtown for dinner with the places that are about 5 minutes away. Great communication with host.
Beautiful cottage- private, amazing views, well stocked with kitchen necessities. Full size washer and dryer, host James very attentive to need sand questions, escorted us to the property in arrival, very clean, stocked with extra towels, tp
Extremely responsive host and property manager. Allowed us to stay an extra day when our original flight was canceled and we arrived a day later. As mentioned in other reviews, new screens if the screened in room would be extremely helpful to keep bugs out.
Excellent communication and service from the host Scott. Villa was cleaned at a high level by the housekeeper which is not always the case at other villas. View, pool and other amenities were also excellent. Overall, they know what they are doing and I would rent there again.

This will be our St John go to. We loved the screened in living area for hanging out and the air conditioned bed room at night. Five minutes from Cruz Bay dining options but also several quieter very good dining options also about five minutes away the other direction.
The character of this cottage had my heart upon arrival. Love the uniqueness and style. Well appointed with what we needed to make our stay comfortable. Perfect place for a week of exploring St. John’s.
The place had EVERYTHING one might need, from big sun hats, to a washer/dryer, and everything in between. It was close to town, but quiet (except for the rooster). We made breakfast every morning, enjoyed the sunsets from the terrace. It was not wicked fancy, but felt like home by the end of our trip.

Great comment Jerry! Definitely not great if stairs are a problem. Flight and a half to front door from private driveway. Flight of wonky stairs up to pool
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.
Property was awesome! Pool was incredible. James and Michael were excellent hosts! Couldn’t ask for a better stay on St John. We will definitely be back to this property.
Wonderful affordable villa to get you relaxing on island time. Access to a beautiful pool and sun deck, great views of sunset and distant St Thomas lights at night. Easy drive to Cruz Bay or the NP beaches. The host is the best; friendly and welcoming!
Property is very private while being just minutes from Cruz Bay. Home has everything you need for a great vacation. It feels like a tree house in the jungle. James met us at the ferry dock and showed us the way and made sure that we had everything we needed.
James was a great host and very accommodating. Nice cottage for 2. Pool and hot tub great. Good view and easy access to main road with a driveway you can turn around in without backing onto the road.

Nice Place, Great View, Terrific Owner
10 minutes from Cruz Bay where there are lots of shopping and food options. Easy enough to get to the north shore beaches. James is terrific. Very accommodating. Wonderful view of St. Thomas.
This property is located about 7 minutes from town close to the top of a hill that overlooks Rendezvous bay. The views from the pool are gorgeous. The little cottage that my husband and I stayed in was perfect for us. It was quiet, had a stove and a grill to prepare meals, a beautiful screened in patio, a washer and dryer and access to the pool. The check in process was easy and quick. James' son met us at the car ferry and showed us the way so that was very nice. Communication with the owner was quick and responsive. We appreciated the beach chairs, umbrella and cooler for our day trips. Would definitely stay here again!
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!
Jim went above and beyond, picking us up at the ferry dock late at night when our flight was delayed. Our unit was well equipped, clean and comfortable. We had a lovely view of Cruz Bay and St. Thomas. King sized bed was very comfortable. Very nice shaded pool area. Cruz Bay was a convenient ten minute drive.
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 .

About the host
Hosted by James Walgenwitt
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.
