A great vacation rental balances a great location (close enough to walk to town, not too close to be noisy) a great host (super responsive but never intrusive) and a great accommodation (clean, quiet, spacious, well equipped). This cottage has it all, plus a fabulous view from the deck! Julice could not have been a better host. The only thing we asked for - a regular coffee pot instead of the Keurig supplied with the kitchen - was delivered to us within 20 minutes of texting her. When a violent wind/rain storm knocked power out at Cruz Bay, I immediately got a text from Julice asking if we were ok... and moments later she and her husband drove over through the storm to provide extra batteries, lights, and a fan (since the excellent multizone AC in the cottage had stopped in the outage). Everything in the cottage looked practically brand new... the bed was super comfy... We can't say enough about how this place and its owner improved our vacation!
