We stayed at Cocotier for a week in early June and had a fantastic time. The property is well maintained and the views are amazing. The pool provided some nice end of day relaxation time and my family loved staying there. The A/C worked well in the bedrooms but in the main room it was lacking, especially in the day. The grill works great and did I mention the views? Also, on the morning we left, things got a bit hectic for us as we were trying to get everything packed up and to ready to drive down to catch the car ferry. My 6 year old was playing on the Ipad and it got left behind. I contacted Betsy from Where to Stay and she was on it! She notified them and they found my Ipad and I received it back today, which means a lot. Overall, we had a great vacation staying here and you can’t go wrong with Cocotier.

Betsy did a fabulous job and I enjoyed working with her and have even recommended her to a client who is coming to St Thomas later this year. She is very responsive and I really appreciate her diligence, friendliness and professionalism with helping us with our vacation.

My husband and I booked this villa for our honeymoon in August and it was one of our favorite aspects of the trip! Although the villa has 4 bedrooms and we only needed 1, we really loved the privacy and luxury of having the entire place to ourselves. We definitely give the villa 5 stars, but I’ll share the positive aspects and the things to consider (no cons!)

Pros:
- Gated community that provided peace of mind/security
- Beautiful scenery through every window of the house
- Private residence with plenty of trees between neighboring homes so no one can see in
- Pool and hot tub were a must for us! We were in the pool almost every day, usually twice a day. We loved sipping our coffee on the patio and drinking our wine in the pool each day.
- Fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to be able to cook meals at home
- Friendly staff who stayed in communication every step of the way to ensure we had everything we needed prior to arrival
- Ability to order groceries ahead of our stay and have our kitchen pre-stocked when we arrived
- A/C mini splits in each room which kept everything very comfortable

Things to consider:
- The villa is a good trek up hill from destination spots, so be sure to rent a car/jeep and know it will take ~12-15 minutes to get into town/back home. This made it difficult to be able to enjoy some adult beverages at the beach/down town because driving those roads completely sober is hard enough.
- The 4 bedrooms are disconnected from the main living room and kitchen. I’m sure it’s great for families so people can go to sleep without being disturbed by folks in the living room, but just know that you will have to go outside/leave the living room to go to your bedrooms.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would love to return with our families in the future! You won’t go wrong selecting Cocotier for your St. John villa!

WhereToStay was very good! Shawna was very communicative every step of the way leading up to the trip.

My family of 9 stayed at Cocotier Villa. The views were breathtaking. The villa itself was nicely laid out and had everything we needed for a great stay on St. John. Wheretostay.com was extremely good at communication throughout trip planning and our stay. Our flight was cancelled the first day of the trip and they were flexible with our arrival and departure. Honestly a wonderful experience in every way. Thanks especially to Betsy!

Could not be happier. Communication was excellent. I had many questions that she researched and answered. The “things to do” page was really nice. Will recommend to others. She deserves a raise.

The place was lovely, the view amazing, and the pool was wonderful.

The site and the people were wonderful!
