Moonglow Cottage

Reviews

Magical vacation!
We could not have been happier with Moonglow Cottage! The views of water, sunrises, islands, flowering trees, hummingbirds, and stars are endlessly delightful. After a soak in the hot tub, frogs and delicious breezes lull you to sleep at night. The cottage is comfortable, airy, beautiful, and has

Worth Every Minute of the Wait!
We, too, waited through two years of COVID delays to travel to this incredible destination. Moonglow Cottage is a warm, welcoming retreat to return to after a day exploring St. John. The Coral Bay area was perfect for our vacation - plenty of hiking trails, less-crowded beaches, great restaurants an

Beautiful Ocean and Island View!
St. John and Moonglow Cottage were perfect for out long awaited honeymoon (postponed twice due to COVID). The view from the cottage is spectacular – the best on the island in our opinion. We were glad we had rented a Jeep to drive up the steep access road and driveway! The cottage itself is also b

Simply paradise
After waiting 18 months to return to St John, dealing with Covid restrictions and safety measures, we had the opportunity to spend two beautiful weeks on our favorite Virgin Island. We were delighted with the comfort, amenities and tranquil location MoonGlow offered. We spent lazy mornings enjoying

We have rented larger homes when traveling with others. For this visit we were looking for a peaceful, private place with a

Dreamy vacation!

Our week at the Moonglow cottage was a dream. It was so relaxing and very easy to forget about all our daily worries. The view is breathtaking, every night the sky took different colors and after dark, the moon would brighten up the dark ocean.

The cottage was sparkly clean, in the kitc

Perfect place for two

Such a comfy and well stocked home. Wouldn’t change a thing! Mary Lou is such a thoughtful owner and Bob McNabb is available on island if you need anything. We always enjoy Moonglow and Coral Bay and will be back soon!

Time Capsule

Stepping onto St. John USVI is like traveling in a time capsule back to when life was simpler and folks appreciated the small joys that life brings you: the beauty of nature, of the creatures that inhabit the world other than the humanoids. Moon Glow is the most serene setting. We don’t care fo

Excellent Coral Bay Home

Wonderful home for a couple, beautifully furnished, great king bedroom, fantastic high views which included Tortola and a hot tub! The road up to the house is rough but has room for cars to pass each other which is a plus for this location. The owners are terrific to deal with and the house manag

Attractions

VIRGIN ISLANDS NATIONAL PARK

The Virgin Islands National Park is St John's largest and most popular attraction. It covers 3/5 of St John's landmass and includes 12,624 land and marine acres that encompass pristine beaches, coral reefs, hiking trails, wild donkeys and 800 types of plants. There are also ancient artifacts from the pre-Columbian settlers and remnants of colonial sugar plantations. Twenty-two hiking trails cover more than 20 miles; the park visitor's center has maps. Guided walks are open to the public - ask at the visitor center for details.

CRUZ BAY

This lovely little town, known locally as "Love City," is the heart of St John. The streets are lined with shops, restaurants, and bars, which are all within easy walking distance of each other. You can easily spend an afternoon lazily wandering around soaking in the mellow, laid-back vibe and charm of the town, then spend the evening noshing in one of the numerous restaurants. After dinner, head to one of the beachside bars at Wharfside Village and down a brew or two with your bare feet in the sand.

SNORKELING

Salt Pond Bay is one of the top snorkeling destinations on St John; and while there are certainly lots of fans of this location – I think there are other STJ destinations that trump Salt Pond for snorkeling. That said, you should definitely make the trek. Some of the best sights are a rock hump that's off the center of the bay. While the sea grass beds offer a great opportunity to see a sea turtle, ray or giant hermit crabs ( usually in a large Queen Conch shell)!
