Without having any history about the island of St. John, I booked this cottage for our family of 5 (3 teens). Perhaps I might choose a location closer to Cruz Bay next time, but we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Fish Tales in Fish Bay. We are an adventuresome clan, so this was a bit away from town activities, but if you want quiet and private, this is for you.
We never did find the walking pathway to Reef Bay, but honestly, we didn't look very hard. I am sure it's there somewhere.
The cottage had everything we needed. Well stocked for anything that you may want to cook. The small sitting pool was certainly helpful to cool us down while spending time on the deck Each sleeping area has A/C, but not throughout the whole cottage. That wasn't a big deal, as we spend many days at the public beaches. Kids figured out how to blue tooth their music playlists with the speaker system in the house and outside deck. We loved that!
The place was clean and well cared for. Upon arrival, the welcome lady explained about keeping all food put away, and daily trash removal. Honestly, we didn't really have any issues with any critters looking for food.
Our stay at Fish Bay was pleasant and accommodating. Very comfortable!
