Perfect property for quiet, relaxed St. John stay.

The property is as private and serene as you can get on St. John. Steps from the beach with wonderful and safe snorkeling. Well equipped, clean and quiet cottage perfect for two couples. We could not have found a better place for a no stress, restful holiday. Thank you Linda!

Great place in a great spot

Far from the crazy of Cruz Bay. Quiet, peaceful location and a comfortable villa. Will definitely be back.

Would definitely stay again

The views of the house are incredible and the house had everything we needed. There was a slight issue with wifi the first few days but Linda and her son Joel were extremely helpful and responsive and we were able to fix the problem with no issues. The trip was amazing and we can’t wait to be back!

Dynamic Sunset Vista Villa

The quiet location of Cameron Cove having the beautiful water views and dynamic sunsets allows you to relax, chill and enjoy your St John visit beyond understanding. Having the beachfront water being able to swim or snorkel at your leisure enhances your holiday and relationship with St. John's national park goals.

Amazing house with spectacular view!

The photos don't do this house justice--the view when you walk in is just drop dead gorgeous, and it's so comfortable and quiet. A perfect retreat, with a short walk to what is essentially a private beach, complete with a kayak for beautiful paddles to nearby coves for snorkeling or just relaxing. We loved it!

Beautiful Secluded Home with Path to Beach

This home was perfect for our needs. We were 2 couples. There were 2 bedrooms w/ocean views and 2 baths. The kitchen was well set up for us to cook our dinners. We found that the snorkeling from our beach was as good or better than other places on the island. I would definitely recommend this property!

Fantastic home for a quiet St. John stay

The pictures don’t do this home justice. Well appointed home good size kitchen, refrigerator, new washer and dryer, comfortable living room and dining room combo with a large nice covered porch overlooking the trees to the bay. Very clean and comfortable For our party of three adults (two parents and one teenage daughter). Appreciated the beach chairs on the beach and available at the house. They included beach towels, overall a great stay although it is at the very end of the road on East End about a 40 minute drive to Cruise Bay, 10 to 15 minutes to Coral Bay with a couple of excellent restaurants.

Amazing stay on St John

This house captures everything special about St John. The view is spectacular and the location is wonderful. It was windy during our visit but the snorkeling and paddleboarding in the bay outside the house was still amazing. We snorkeled at all the usual places during the week and the fish were the best at Pelican Rock. The house was very quiet in the evening - you can hear the ocean and birds. Since we are early risers the construction next door did not bother us - there are two new hosues be built nearby.

One of the best locations on the island

We spent a fabulous week at Cameron Cove. The cottage has a great floor plan, with both bedrooms having their own bathroom and access to the deck and sea view. The huge partially roofed deck is a great feature and we spent most of our time out there, just taking in the view and watching boats go by and looking for turtles in the bay. The bay has it's own young reef which was teaming with life. Pelican rocks are a short swim away, as is Hansen Bay. 2 minute walk to your own little beach, which is virtually private. Great snorkeling. Wish we could have stayed longer - would book this house again without any hesitation.

Nice, but be careful

Be careful with this place. It is really far away from everything and driving is challenging in St. John. The nice sand beaches are 25 to 40 minutes from this location. There were several broken items when we were there, dishwasher, closet doors, etc. Unless you really want to be away from everything and I mean really far away, you might want to pick another place. Additionally we were not warned / informed of any of the broken items and non appeared to be scheduled to be fixed while we were there. We won't be going back there.

Unbelievably fantastic!

Paradise, heaven on earth, what else can I say??!! The house is perfect and the location is stunning! Gorgeous views of Hansen Bay and the mountains that surround you. Short drive to Coral Bay where there were several options for food and beverages and a nice market. Skinny Legs was a favorite and the food was really good, drinks even better! We had everything we needed to enjoy 5 days on St. John. The ocean is a short walk down a path from the house and the reef starts immediately after you enter the water. Pelican Rock, a favorite for dive boats and snorkeling trips, is just yards away and the diversity of fish, corals, sponges and invertebrates is impressive. We went to other snorkeling spots on the Island but the reef right outside the house was the most spectacular. This location is at the very east end of the island and it is much more quiet out that way but it’s close to many great beaches and other snorkeling spots as well. I loved the nice breeze on the deck overlooking the bay and especially loved the hummingbirds that visited us every morning. The house is very well equipped both for cooking, sleeping and playing! We can’t wait to visit again. Thank you Linda!

Property Misrepresented

The house was 100 feet from an active construction site. Work started at 7 am and woke us up. There was no mention of this in the listing. Attempts to reach the owner by myself and VRBO were unsuccessful although she received the messages. Less important, the dishwasher was broken but once again no explanation. Checkout is 9 am. As usual no mention of this in the listing. I would not recommend the listing if for no Tver reason than the owners unresponsiveness and misrepresentation

Paradise

We had a fabulous time and thank you for sharing your home with us. It was clean and stocked perfectly for us. The beach was in front of us for snorkeling and catching rays and a short walk down the path. Air conditioners made sleeping very comfortable and the views were outstanding. We loved being out of the populated areas of the island and enjoyed our adventure seeing the whole island. Thank you bryant and Kimberly

Another Great Visit

Cameron Cove never fails to deliver great views and a terrific private beach. We were literally just floating 20 yds offshore and three green turtles decided to hang out with us, often eating just below or surfacing within 4 feet. This went on for 15-20 minutes. Magical!!

East End Paradise

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Camerons home on the East End of St John USVI. It is a private island paradise with its own beach that has excellent snorkeling right there off the beach. Also the wide comfortable porch/deck looking over Coral Bay was our go to spot for meals and just lounging on the 3 chais when we weren’t out enjoying the beauty of the island and its water. Thalia Reyes, our contact person who is close by at Hansen Beach was extremely helpful in every way. Thanks to Thalia and the Camerons.

AMAZING

First, the photos do not give this place justice. The deck overlooking the cove is huge, with room for a dining table, multiple lounges and a grill. The rooms were big, as was the living area, but we didn't spend a lot of time inside. The view was one of the best I've ever had from a rental. Just amazing. The walk to the beach was easy, up and down, but steep. There are hand rails, with steps of concrete and stone. I've got bad knees and handled it fine, if not slowly. The beach is rocky, but that was OK. We had our water shoes. There was a large turtle which swam back and forth in front of us each time we were at the beach. The snorkeling at either end of the beach was amazing, with lots of sea urchins and coral. To give you an idea, large yachts pulled into the cove each day to moor and spend the day or two, proving its beauty. The caretaker, Thalia, was equally amazing, helping us with everything we needed, a text away. We will be back!!!

Island cottage

It is a clean and nice cottage, great location with a wonderful view of the bay from the balcony. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, spices and utensils needed to cook meals at home. However the outside furniture were missing pads and there wasn't any type of sun screen for shade which made sitting there in the afternoon uncomfortable. The inside wicker furniture had plywood as a base that made them stiff and uncomfortable. The cable feed was frequently interrupted that caused it to freeze or pixelate. The property manager was easy to reach, very helpful, and providing good information. We all agreed we would definitely stay here again.

Never want to leave

It’s always an exciting drive out to the East End. Once you get there it’s peaceful, and idyllic. This was our third time on St John and second stay at this house. The location is hard to beat, and the layout means all rooms have deck access and water views. There is a new gas grill, fridge, dishwasher, blender, and a freshly painted deck, all of which we appreciated. The coral in many of the bays has suffered since the hurricanes but still some nice sections here and abundant sea life – plenty of fish, rays, and turtles. Snorkel in your own reef every day before breakfast! It’s a short drive to the north shores if you want a wide sandy beach and change of scene. We visited previously in the drier months in spring and summer, but this trip we enjoyed lush green scenery and wildlife (bug spray needed for sitting outdoors early morning and dusk). Communication with the owner and housekeeper is easy, they are very responsive and helpful. Would not hesitate to book again.

Privacy, Views and a Beach

This was our second stay here. Great vistas and the wonderful semi-private beach. Well appointed kitchen where we cooked most of our meals. We love the East End and this property is one of the reasons why.

Lovely getaway

My husband and I are veteran visitors to St John, and wanted to stay on the quiet east end, foregoing the spectacular vistas found in the hills for the easy beach access that Cameron Cove had to offer. We were delighted at the lovely view that we had from the deck. We ate all our meals outside on it. We really appreciated the privacy of the location. It was literally a 2 minute walk downhill to the beach, perhaps 4-5 minutes uphill to return. While the path itself is easy to navigate, it would be more pleasant if the abundant plant life were cut back somewhat. Great snorkeling, and fun to watch from the deck, the variety of boats that came and went. It was quite warm during our July stay, high 80s, so we appreciated the A/C in the bedroom at night, and brought fans out to the deck to keep us comfortable as we lounged there. Thalia was incredibly responsive to any and all of our questions, which we very much appreciated. I suspect we will be back, but perhaps during the cooler months!

House was not what it seemed

We were happy to find the house as GPS to this address takes you to Hanson Bay Beach. The house is in a beautiful remote location with easy access to a beach perfect for snorkeling and kayaking. Unfortunately we were forced to leave early due to unexpected insects for which I am not permitted to name. We asked the owner for a refund but she said she never had an insect problem.before. Her exterminator said otherwise.
