About this property

Plan Your Perfect Getaway at Bon Bini Cottage!

Tucked high on Sea Grape Hill, Bon Bini Cottage is a peaceful retreat overlooking beautiful Coral Bay, St. John. The cottage boasts picturesque views, convenience to the town of Coral Bay and nearby beaches, and all of the amenities of home.

*** KEY FEAUTRES ***
-One bedroom, one bathroom home with no shared spaces whatsoever (complete privacy for you & your guest!)
-Air conditioning throughout
-Full-sized kitchen with new appliances
-StarLink Internet
-Hot tub
-Stand-up paddleboards, floats, beach chairs, beach coolers with ice packs, & beach towels all provided

Bon Bini features a well-equipped kitchen, suitable for making meals during a relaxing evening in. The living area offers a cozy couch with views, air conditioning, an indoor dining table, and a private and spacious attached half bath. The kitchen, living room area, and bathroom make up one building of Bon Bini Cottage.

The second building of the cottage is home to the private & quaint bedroom. Complete with a queen sized bed, it is outfitted with air conditioning to keep you cool after a day in the St. John sun.

At Bon Bini Cottage, the private deck is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning as the sun rises or listen to the enchanting sounds of tree frogs at night. Relaxing in the hot tub for two under the stars is a wonderful way to end the day. The outdoor shower showcases the view of Coral Bay while still being completely private. Lounging chairs to soak up the sun and an outdoor grill complete the space.

The cottage is also stocked with lots of beach gear, including: two beach chairs, a beach umbrella, four beach towels, a small cooler with ice packs, floats, noodles, and two paddleboards!

The property where Bon Bini Cottage is located is often visited by sheep, goats, donkeys, chickens, and tortoises. There is also lots of lizards/geckos and birds (thrashers, bananaquits, & hummingbirds) around at all times. Finally, it is important that we note to guests that a cat named Sebastian visits the cottage frequently and enjoys being pet. Sebastian has a comfortable home with plenty of food and water (he is not a stray cat!), but enjoys making his rounds at all the houses on the hillside. If you do not enjoy the company of roaming cats (or possibly other wildlife), Bon Bini Cottage may not be well-suited for your time on St. John.

The location of the cottage is the perfect mix of tranquility and convenience. A quick drive down the mountain leads you to the town of Coral Bay. Various restaurants (many with with live music), a grocery store, mini mart, and shops are all located within a five or ten minute drive. The beaches of the North Shore (including the notable Maho Bay and more secluded Francis Bay) are less than 15 minutes away. Visitors looking to enjoy the locals crowd on the beaches can venture to the East End of St. John or Salt Pond and Lameshur Bays in 20 minutes.

Please note that we have one NEST camera in the driveway/parking area. This camera records movement, but not sound.

Hard to beat view.
Bin Boni is very small but a beautiful clean well cared for place high on the hillside overlooking Coral Bay. We enjoyed the view from the deck watching the action in the harbor. The goats, chickens and birds were entertaining below our deck as well. Love the outdoor shower and the beautiful landscape around the place.

Wonderful view of Coral Bay. Walk down the hill to Skinny Legs or Rhumb Lines or drive to the nearby grocery stores. In between our two favorite beaches, Maho and Salt Pond. Cottage had everything you need to make meals. Note that the bathroom is in a separate building than the bedroom- you may want to bring a robe for getting up to go to the bathroom in the night. Host provided excellent instructions, including a video of how to get to the cottage. Thanks for an amazing stay!

Paradise on Coral Bay!
Bon Bini is so worth the climb. We loved the privacy and beautiful view overlooking Coral Bay from our deck. Having the two cabins, outdoor shower and hot tub made our stay a fun little adventure. We look forward to a future stay Bon Bini.

Amazing view in secluded area
This place is spectacular from beginning to end. Before our arrival Emily sent us all the info we needed (including a video of the drive up to the cottage) to find the place and get settled. If you are looking for a private, relaxed retreat with the ability to go and do as much as your heart desires then this is it! We enjoyed the 2 person hot tub with a view after long days on the beach, exploring the island and a little bit of hiking. There are plenty of food options nearby that are very good (skinny legs, rhumb lines and Johnny lime’s Sunday brunch) and it’s a short boat ride to the kime out taco bar. The tacos truly are some of the best I’ve ever had. We didn’t spend much time inside the cottage at all because there was just no need to! I mentioned the view, right?!?! We stayed on the balcony watching the boats and the sunrise/sunset. If you wanted to spend time inside it has all the amenities you could want if you choose to use them. This place very high on my list for tropical travel. Not just St. John, but the cottage! High marks for location, privacy, seclusion, ease of use, and outdoor living space. Thank you for sharing your little cottage in paradise!
