Very secluded, private area which is exactly what we love. Cynthia is very nice & accommodating. We loved our chats with her. She offered great recommendations for places to eat and visit. If you like to stay in quiet & away from touristy areas, this is your place! Thank you Cynthia! We really enjoyed our stay.

Small, but sufficient

Because we were beaching it every day, all we needed was a "base camp", didn't need scenic views, swimming pool etc.. The road in is a challenge, just need to drive slow. Cynthia was a pleasure to deal with, and very helpful, even came to our rescue when my stupidity stranded us in a parking lot!

Quiet Retreat

We enjoyed our time at Cynthia’s. Her place was clean and comfortable, the screen porch was our favorite place to have coffee and hangout after a wonderful day at the beach. If you’re new to the island this will be a little tricky to find the first time but once you do you’ll have no problem.

Hidden Gem

Cynthia was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Her place is VERY clean and comfortable. Our small family loved staying here. As she mentions, you need a jeep to stay here. The roads were fun and though the house is in the trees, we were super close to all the things we needed. The store was close and so was the dive shop. Thanks for letting us stay with you!

Great Stay in Quiet Area of St John

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Eden Lounge. It was only a short drive to sites and restaurants, but was in a quiet residential area away from the hustle and bustle of Cruz Bay. We would stay again, but would definitely recommend having a raised 4WD vehicle like a jeep to drive on the roads leading to the property.

Wonderful stay!

Cynthia's place was perfect for our family of 3! The place was a quick drive to Cruz Bay and it was easy to get to anywhere else on the island from there. The stocked kitchen allowed us to cook meals during our stay. She had beach chairs, towels, and sand toys that we could use, and was really helpful and rapid in communication. We spent the days hiking or at the beach, and enjoyed sitting in the evening on the screened in porch listening to the frogs. Looking forward to staying there again on our next trip!

Spring Getaway

Was a perfect space for a couple. Quiet except for roosters in am and away from downtown. Property owner very helpful and accommodating. Definitely recommend renting a jeep while staying for ease of getting to it, beach hopping and shopping.

Eden Lounge Wonderful!

Eden Lounge is a very nice studio apartment with a lovely attached screened-in patio. Given the high cost of rentals on St. John, it is an excellent option for the budget-minded traveler. The owner, Cynthia, is very accommodating, the location is central to everything on the island, and it has many good amenities.

Wonderful home away from home!

This property was well-kept and clean. All amenities as advertised were available. Full kitchen with utensils made cooking my meals quite easy. The screen porch was quite comfortable. Cynthia was very pleasant and helpful. Overall it’s an excellent place to stay. I’ll recommend a four/all wheel drive for your visit to St John.

This condo was a great place to stay. Had a fridge, oven, stove and microwave with drinkable tap water. Nice shower and bathroom and cozy bed! Loved the enclosed porch to listen to the birds singing at night. There were beach chairs to use as well! Such a great place to stay.

Serenity

Nothing fancy, but everything one could need if your looking for a peaceful stay away from the crowds downtown. Not an ocean view location. Kitchen had everything we needed, eating out is an expensive waste on St John, better to fry your own plantain and grill some fish. Make certain you have a rental car with 4wd, the route to the house is a bit bumpy.

Awesome little studio! Do yourself a favor and stay here.

This was such a great place to stay. We stayed near the beach while on St. Thomas and wanted to stay in the jungle while on St John and this little place fit the bill perfectly. We didn't have too much trouble finding it luckily and our rental car managed the dirt road and driveway pretty good (though I wish we'd been able to rent a jeep since that would have made driving easier on the island as St. John's roads are insanely steep.) The little dirt road to the property is a bit sketchy but don't worry, the property itself is lovely! It was actually nicer than we expected. The studio is compact, super clean, has a comfy king bed and futon, and a small but efficient kitchen with everything you need. Plenty of beach towels which we appreciated plus other beach gear which was great. The entire place is off-the-grid and so has drinkable, filtered water. My very favorite part of staying here was the screened in porch; we sat out there every single evening enjoying all the jungle sounds. The little frogs are quite loud from the porch (it's much quieter if you are inside the studio) and I loved it so much. They do stop at some point in the night for the most part. I went just outside the porch with a flashlight searching for them every night; I got rather good at finding them in the plants and enjoyed watching them sing. If you love frogs like I do, definitely do this, especially if you have kids with you. I found 18 frogs (sizes ranging from a teeny tiny 1/4" frog to one that was a few inches big and every size inbetween) one night just in the patch of bromeliads by the screen door. We saw deer in the yard every morning early and there are hens with chicks and at least one rooster running around (chickens are everywhere on the islands, it's hilarious.) Cynthia is a lovely host. Parking in Cruz Bay is a nightmare for meals so she suggested Shambles which is just up the road on HWY 10, only about 5 minutes from the property. They have plenty of parking, great food, and a great atmosphere. We had a great time on St. John and really enjoyed staying at Eden's Lounge Villa in the "jungle", highly recommend to anyone who is budget-minded who is looking for a private, clean, lovely little place to stay.

perfect for us

really a great home base if you don't need a ton of space or a party house. this apartment was everything we (31 years old, 33 years old, 4 years old, and 1 year old) needed and more. for the price of this rental we expected to have just a place to sleep and shower, and we would have been satisfied with that, but the apartment had beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, coffee, aloe, air conditioning, ice, a grill, drinkable water, and even blocks and beach toys. the amenities far exceeded our expectations, the property was immaculate, and cynthia was lovely. she gave us absolutely spot on directions to the house, which is in a pretty and peaceful neighborhood close to everything. highly recommend

St John

Overall we had a great stay. We got lost trying to find the property. We had to ask a local who was able to take us there. Detailed directions Prior to the stay would be very helpful. The road leading to the property is run down but once you get the the property it’s great. We really enjoyed sleeping with the windows open listening to the jungle sounds- no need for the a/c. It’s a great economical option on St John which is an amazing place.

Great Stay on St. John

Cute little place, perfect for the two of us. Had all that we needed including beach chairs, beach towels and noodles to float with. The home is centrally located so we were never more than 20 minutes from our destination and we went all over the island. Highly recommend if you are looking for a place to relax after a long day at the beach. Thank you for the wonderful stay Cynthia! We hope to be back soon.
