Description

Caneel Trailside Cottage sits one mile outside Cruz Bay, high up on the ridge in the saddle between Caneel Hill and Margaret Hill, next to the Virgin Islands National Park. Forty yards from the backyard, through National Park land, is Caneel Hill Trail, which drops down to the secluded white sand beaches on the North Shore (Honeymoon Beach, Caneel Bay and Solomon Bay) in less than 45 minutes, and extends to the town of Cruz Bay with a half-hour hike in the other direction. A 1/4-mile hike brings you to the Caneel Hill Observation Platform, where you can see a 360-degree view of both the Caribbean and Atlantic as well as the entire Western half of St John. From Caneel Trailside Cottage’s doorstep you can literally hike through the forest to get everywhere you will need to be on the western half of St. John.

A lush garden surrounds the private brick patio that encloses a swimming pool with teak poolside chaises and a barbecue area. A wide shaded veranda for outdoor dining and relaxing adds great space to enjoy the breeze and idle away from it all. The veranda looks out over the southwest end of St John and offers expansive views of the Caribbean all the way to St. Croix.

Our week at Caneel Trailside Cottage was wonderful. Our greeter was very accommodating and professional. The cottage was just the right distance from Cruz Bay. It was well-maintained, with a quiet pool area and a great view. I would definitely book another stay!

We had a great week on St.John. Caneel Trailside Cottage is a gem - close to Cruz Bay, on one of the island's hiking trails and close to beaches. The cottage had everything we needed for a memorable vacation!

Our family of 4 enjoyed our recent 10 day vacation at Caneel Trailside. The cottage is located convenient to Cruz Bay with its shopping and restaurants and all of the North Shore beaches. The size of the property was perfect for our family of 4. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The rental agents were great to work with; answering all of our questions before, during, and after our visit. My son left a stuffed animal tangled in the sheets. The kind rental agents helped get it shipped back to us very very quickly. My favorite part of staying at Caneel is the variety of wildlife right outside. Every morning while enjoying coffee on the veranda, we saw chickens, deer, iguanas, birds, and butterflies in the gorgeous courtyard. Biggest tip is to get a 4 wheel drive vehicle. The driveway is steep!

The Cottage was very clean. All the supplies for the beach were in great shape and very helpful. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Our vacation was excellent, we would rent the property again.

This was a trip of a lifetime and everything was perfect. Our Greeter really taught us about the island and places that were a must see. We will definitely be using Catered to in the future. The Caneel Trailside Cottage was truly a magical place to stay.

With two friends I shared a week at Caneel Trailside Cottage. It was a wonderful respite in a place of simple beauty. The house was beautifully laid out, open and bright and impeccably clean and fresh. The great view from the front balcony was spectacular and was a perfect place to read, have a drink or just sit and take in the beauty of this place.
