The Cottage is a perfect getaway for couples. Hikers, nature-lovers, artists, writers, and newlyweds will feel right at home in the lush, private surroundings.

It has a warmly lit main room with a wonderful full size Murphy bed, couch, and beautifully tiled breakfast table. The walls are adorned with original artwork, and the exposed wood beams of the ceiling rise up to enhance the airy and spacious feel of the Cottage. A small bookcase holds a collection of CDs and books, should you forget to bring your own.

The private outdoor stone shower off the bathroom makes it so the amazing views never disappear. It continues the attention to detail found in the rest of the Cottage, with beautiful textures and ceramic inlays.

The wraparound porch connects to an outdoor grilling area with a prep counter and sink. Tucked away from view just inside the entryway is a storage space with dishware and glassware, shelves to store snacks and food, and a small refrigerator to keep your all your goodies nicely chilled.

• a wraparound porch with beautiful views of the ocean and the arms of St. John

From our guestbook....

"Thank you for sharing your special Cottage with us! You have put your heart and soul in it and it shows!.... The birds chirping, the breeze, the sunlight filling the room, and the endless view - all of these sensations were the perfect setting for our time here. You created a perfect refuge on this hill.... We hope to return here as often as possible." - Lisa and Dave R., Virginia

"You have truly created one of the most amazing vacation destinations anyone could ask for.... You have thought of everything and gone out of your way to make our stay here as special as it was!.... We were able to fully relax in our great eco-friendly Cottage.... I'm sure we will be back soon. We will miss you and this amazing place." - Todd and Anya F., Vermont

"There are so many unique aspects of this Cottage that I am so excited about: the Murphy bed, the outdoor shower, living with solar power - I am very glad for the opportunity to pare down to more simplicity in my life.... The great expanse of water stretching off the porch is so wonderful to watch; it's always changing depending on how the wind dances across it and where the sun hits it to reveal the beautiful hues and coral...." - Bethany G., Virginia

"Sean and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful place you provided for our honeymoon. A House of Open Arms is a truly peaceful and cozy place to stay.... The spectacular sunrises each morning give a promise of a beautiful day.... Your generosity and hospitality has been greatly appreciated." - Sean and Alyson C., New Hampshire

"We will always remember the sound of the ocean at night and in the mornings and the song of the crickets as we fell asleep...." - Luke and Carolyn S., Texas
