Windwardside: calme, belle vue, bain à remous, élégamment aménagées, jardins luxuriants

This was our first trip to St. John and the Windwardside Cottage was everything as advertised plus some. The villa was spotless and offered all the amenities of home. We spent most of our days at the beach (we actually visited 8 beaches in 7 days) soaking up the sun and snorkeling. We had originally planned not to cook much on this trip but we so looked forward to returning to the villa after an active day on the island that we prepared most of our meals there. When they say that you need 4 wheel drive to get to the cottage they are not kidding, but this all part of the allure of staying at Windwardside Cottage. I have to tell one experience I had. We lost power for a few hours Wednesday evening and I awoke because it got a little hot with no fans operating. I went down to the main cottage and laid down on couch in the screened room because it was a little cooler with the breeze coming off the ocean. Well, with the island being so dark, the stars were just amazing. I laid there gazing for an hour or better and saw 3 shooting stars!!! Susan and her staff made our vacation seamless and stress free from the time we stepped off the plane till we reluctantly had to return home. If you are considering St. John for a vacation then don't think twice about the Windwardside Cottage. I know this will become an annual stay for us.
