Lameshur Cottage's Guest House

This secluded Caribbean cottage is tucked into the hillside on the quieter south side of St. John and offers panoramic mountain views of the surrounding National Park. It is within easy walking distance to many of St. John's best beaches and hiking trails. The interior of the cottage offers comfortable accommodations with a queen-size bed that sleeps two and a fully equipped kitchen and bath. The large covered porch provides spacious outdoor living and dining areas with a grill and daybed.

A queen bed with fresh linens is situated in the main room when you arrive. A full kitchen with all the amenities needed cook from home and enjoy the view. A bathroom with a walk in shower, fresh towels, bodywash/shampoo, and hairdryer is all provided.

The covered outdoor patio is the best place to soak in the views, we have also provided a sugar bird feeder with sugar if your a bird lover. We have full size day bed that is perfect for taking a nap or can even sleep a 3rd/4th guest. There is also a grill for cooking along with couch and a table for relaxing and enjoying the National Park mountain views.

Its decidedly Caribbean design and decor, along with its incomparable National Park setting, make it the perfect vacation choice for those seeking the peace and tranquility of a true island getaway.

We are located on the furthest side away from the ferry on which you will arrive. We STRONGLY suggest renting a car.

Some of the nearby beaches and bays that are within walking distance;

-Salt Pond beach (one of the more popular beaches on St John) is 0.25 miles away

-Kiddel Bay is 0.5 miles away

-Grootpan bay is 0.5 miles away

-Great Lameshur beach 0.8 miles away

-Little Lameshur beach is 1 mile away

With the second bed being on the covered outdoor patio we suggest if there is going to be a 3rd/4th guest they are ok with a more outdoorsy style stay.

We had a terrific stay at Lameshur Cottage! It was relaxing & comfortable, and in a quiet location for exploring the east end of St John. There are neat little groceries nearby to cook for yourself, but also places to eat out not far in Coral Bay.We enjoyed being so close to the great snorkeling in Salt Bay Pond and great birding opportunities. We could watch the huge flock of flamingos on the small pond below our porch, and had beautiful birds coming to the sugar feeder. The host, Bill, met us on arrival and hauled our biggest suitcase up the stairs for us. He was helpful and attentive the whole time. If you are looking for a slightly rustic but peaceful and relaxing experience on St. John- this is the place!!

The cottage is as described. Quiet retreat in nature. I enjoyed my morning coffee watching the banaquits at the feeder and seeing the flamingos in the distance. The host has thought of all the details and we had everything we needed. We stocked up on groceries on St Thomas and cooked our meals at the cottage every night. Salt Pond beach is really close by and beautiful. Good snorkeling. Highly recommend the Rams head trail for hiking. We visited Maho beach and loved snorkeling there too. We saw turtles at both beaches. Would definitely recommend especially if you like to be surrounded by nature. Host was helpful and communicates well.

We loved our stay! Very quiet, cute and spacious cottage for 2. You can see the flamingos hanging out on the lake behind our deck. Super close to salt pond bay and great Lameshur bay. The hosts provided bug sprays,beach chairs, beach towels, snorkeling gears so we didn’t have to bring much. 100% would come back again!!

This is a quaint cottage with all the things you need to cook your own meals. There is a flushing toilet and a shower in the bathroom. We were there in the off season. We brought all our own food and cooked our dinners in the cottage. This rustic cottage has no AC but does have many fans. Due to the heat and time of year (October) we did have a challenge with insects. Our host Bill was very kind and responsive to all our needs! We would definitley recommend this cottage for peace and solitude. You will need a car to stay in this area of the Island.

Far away from crowds/ drive to tree tops/ hike to private bay

Seeking a real St. Johns experience -not a crowded hotel - my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Lameshur cottage on the hillside. The owner was very helpful; he and his wife have worked hard to create a charming cottage (along with camper accomodations below) on the far south side of St. John near Salt Bay Pond. We brought food to cook as grocery store in Coral Bay was a distance away. Everything was there for meal preparation and we dined on the porch over looking a valley and a salt pond with flamingos flying in. This is what we enjoy and the banana birds and hummingbirds and quiet. We are hikers so the two flights of stairs to reach the cottage was no problem. A 4 w drive (I suggest small, not largest ) (everyone had 4 wheel drive rented ahead in Cruz Bay) is required. We drive from cottage short distance to hike down to lovely private Salt Pond Bay within the National Park with snorkling and hike to Ram's Head point. Driving the left side of the road from the west side of island was somewhat crazy around hair pin turns. We returned by the north road by Annaberg plantation and by the crowded but exquisite Maho Bay and Trunk Bay and Cinnamon Bay back to Cruz Bay to return rental by ferry. Owner had beach and snorkling equipment available. Books in the cottage included indigenous trees and plants seen from our porch and on a long hike from Big Lameshur Bay (where we left the jeep) along the National park Reef Bay trail to the Taino Petroglyphs.

Great location to kick-back, away from the local tourist crowd. The nearby beach is beautiful, with easy access and not crowded. Bill and his wife are very nice, personable and responsive hosts. We stayed in the guest house. It has a very quaint, bohemian feeling. We loved it!

Everything we were looking for

Cute comfortable cottage on the quiet side of the island near Salt Pond Bay and Coral Bay. It has two beds- both really comfortable - one in the kitchen and one on the porch. Insects not a problem with fans and a mosquito net outside. Beautiful view. Bananaquits at the feeder every morning were a delight. So comfy and easy. 4WD a must to explore all the beaches, but you can see many without it. Don't miss Thursday open Mic at Miss Lucy's and Skinny Legs. (We can't decide on or favorite beach), Bill, Emily and baby Lilli were so friendly and responsive!!

Perfect St. John Cottage

This was our second time at the cottage, and it was even better than the first. Really a perfect little cabin for two with a great bed, comfortable porch, and beautiful view. Lots of great touches: a record player and games, very good local books, beach gear and towels, beautiful lights at night. There were 3 beaches within a 10 minute walk including popular Salt Pond, and secluded Kiddle and Grootpan. Swimming, hiking, and snorkeling were our favorites! Excellent kitchen for cooking with great fish and meat from Calabash, and amazing fresh vegetables from Josephine's. We did leave this corner of St. John sometimes, but didn't need to, and really relaxed in our quiet piece of paradise. Such generous hosts. Thank you!

Serene Island Paradise with all necessities

We had a blast staying 3 nights in this remote island paradise. The salt pond beach is a quick walk down the street and the peace of looking at the undeveloped hillsides in the evening can't be understated. Bill is very friendly and willing to give recommendations. All amenities you need are provided.

Chic, breezy Island getaway!

Thank you so much Bill, Emily & Lily!! We thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful, comfortable, unique, open air cottage! The breezes off the ocean and hillsides were lovely. We especially enjoyed the blast from the past by sipping our coffee while listening to 70’s lp’s on the retro turntable! The Bananaquits, frogs & geckos (?) were quite entertaining too! The proximity to Salt Pond Bay for swimming & snorkeling as well as near by restaurants made for a perfect spot to spend a few days on St. John Island!!
