Holiday rentals with a kayak in Southside

The view was gorgeous. Karen met us in our Jeep and told us beforehand we had to rent a 4-wheel drive Jeep to be able to get to her place. The drive up and down is a little harrowing. So if you are not a person who values nature enough to put up with a somewhat dangerous drive to get there, this is not for you. But we loved the place. We never had to lock the place when we left. We never used the air conditioning. We left the windows open most all the time, the whole ten days, including at night when we were sleeping. The breeze was lovely. We got to talk to Karen before we got there and after we got onto the island for help info. Karen let us use her kayak, beach chairs and her cooler; nice! She is a lovely person! I loved the isolation; all the nature! We did have to walk up and down a series of rock/cement stairs to get from the Jeep to the cottage and visa versa; it was lit from dark to about 9:30pm. We are hardy walkers. Wished we had had a few more hangers; had 6.

From start to finish we had a wonderful time at this home. Book VI provided a link to share with our group with the list of helpful pointers and recommendations from restaurants, beaches to shopping. The place was beautiful and well appointed and had comfortable beds too. We enjoyed using the beach chairs, snorkeling gear and the SUP while there. They had coolers too which came in handy for our beach outings. This place was about 15 min or so from Cruz Bay and grocery stores were nearby too. If you are looking for a beautiful place to stay near Cruz Bay and enjoy seeing the stars, stay here. I highly recommend staying here.

This place is 100% where you want to stay if you want a truly peaceful island get away! We enjoyed the open air set up of the property, morning and evening costal mountain winds were phenomenal. (Our April stay, the multiple mini split systems weren’t needed) We were able to watch deer, iguanas and all kinds of birds on the wrap around deck. Which also doubled as a great safe and secure play area for our kids. Mike was very friendly and responded quickly to all of our questions/needs! If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful island getaway, this property is where you need to stay.

This unit is absolutely stunning inside with beautiful fixtures, high end materials, comfortable furniture, endless space and truly tasteful appointments. There isn’t a thing we can think of that needs improving! Even though it’s not directly on the beach, you’re about as close to “off beach” as it gets with great water views of Chocolate Hole from the first level patio and upstairs deck. We loved snorkeling with the turtles and tropical fish as there’s a beautiful reef and coral along the left shoreline. The availability of paddle boards and kayaks, right on the shore, was also fun and made it super easy to explore. The location is perfect, just far enough away from the action but also close enough to get to all the restaurants and shopping in Cruz Bay, as well as endless choices of beaches and hikes. Our hosts were very helpful, always responsive and made our stay truly care free and memorable. Hands down, 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ !

We loved the place!
