Lameshur Cottage's Guest House

This secluded Caribbean cottage is tucked into the hillside on the quieter south side of St. John and offers panoramic mountain views of the surrounding National Park. It is within easy walking distance to many of St. John's best beaches and hiking trails. The interior of the cottage offers comfortable accommodations with a queen-size bed that sleeps two and a fully equipped kitchen and bath. The large covered porch provides spacious outdoor living and dining areas with a grill and daybed.

A queen bed with fresh linens is situated in the main room when you arrive. A full kitchen with all the amenities needed cook from home and enjoy the view. A bathroom with a walk in shower, fresh towels, bodywash/shampoo, and hairdryer is all provided.

The covered outdoor patio is the best place to soak in the views, we have also provided a sugar bird feeder with sugar if your a bird lover. We have full size day bed that is perfect for taking a nap or can even sleep a 3rd/4th guest. There is also a grill for cooking along with couch and a table for relaxing and enjoying the National Park mountain views.

Its decidedly Caribbean design and decor, along with its incomparable National Park setting, make it the perfect vacation choice for those seeking the peace and tranquility of a true island getaway.

We are located on the furthest side away from the ferry on which you will arrive. We STRONGLY suggest renting a car.

Some of the nearby beaches and bays that are within walking distance;

-Salt Pond beach (one of the more popular beaches on St John) is 0.25 miles away

-Kiddel Bay is 0.5 miles away

-Grootpan bay is 0.5 miles away

-Great Lameshur beach 0.8 miles away

-Little Lameshur beach is 1 mile away

With the second bed being on the covered outdoor patio we suggest if there is going to be a 3rd/4th guest they are ok with a more outdoorsy style stay.

Great Place to Stay!
Really enjoyed my stay. The hosts were super nice and beyond helpful. It was super nice being right up the road from Salt Pond Beach. You’re on the less crowded side of the island so you get to see a lot of wildlife which I loved. My only suggestion is if you stay here you almost have to rent a car.

Bill was an amazing host, so gracious. I loved the architecture of the cottage we stayed in. Many additional amenities beyond a typical room. The old vinyl disc player and outside bed were favourites. Plus this location is close to some hidden beaches and even a nice barbeque restaurant that serves a great brisket. It's a half hour drive from the bustle of the bar side of the island, perfect for a nice, quiet time. I definitely recommend without hesitation.

Cottagey wonderfulness! This was a unique experience for my husband and me, which we really enjoyed. Super location so close to Great and Little Lameshur Bays, and to Salt Pond so made visiting these locations during our stay a breeze. Very clean and well accommodated place with lots and lots to make your stay convenient. Nice communication with owners prior to stay.

Wonderful Anniversary Getaway
The Lameshur Cottage guest house was exactly what we had hoped it would be. It’s away from the hustle of Cruz Bay, nestled in the mountain side near Coral Bay. There are so many cool hikes and beaches close by as well access to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world on the north shores within a short drive. With a kitchen, appliances and a quick trip to the local grocery store only minutes away we saved a ton on meals. When we felt like going out to eat, Skinny Legs quickly became our favorite local diner. The hosts Bill and Emily were extremely pleasant and accommodating. Guaranteed you won’t find a better bang for your buck in the VI. Would absolutely stay here again if I‘m ever fortunate enough to return to St. John.

Cabin peaceful location
Great studio cabin that was comfortable, peaceful and had everything we needed for our week. Bill and Emily were great hosts, fun to talk with and offered suggestions on everything from beaches for snorkeling to places to eat. Walking distance to Salt Pond Bay and if you’re up to the trek: Groupon that had the best sea life and Kiddle the second best. We took our jeep to both and were often the only people there! It is Not a resort or a hotel it is a remote cabin with a glamping vibe!

Loved this cottage! It had everything we needed and more. Me and my Husband really enjoyed our stay. Note that it is quite far from town. Totally my fault that I didn’t do more research on St. John and I found out there’s only 3 main roads that take 30-45 min to drive if you want to go get groceries, eat out, or go to the pharmacy like we had to do. As well as most beaches are far but we enjoyed our stay nonetheless 😊 I definitely recommend staying here.

St John on the Quiet Side
Cute studio cottage with all the amenities. Rustic and close to the National Park. Not a villa in site! Walking distance to Salt Pond Bay and Lameshure Bays and the Petroglyph trail to Reef Bay. Very sweet and quiet and away from all the hubbub of Cruz Bay. Miss Lucy's and Auqua Bistro are a few minutes away. All the best of St John.

Cleanest Cottage we ever rented. Bill and Emily are fantastic for sure. A short walk to Salt Pond Beach. Vitran bus stop close by. I'm 71 years my wife 65.

Our Private Hide Away
A perfect cottage for two... Clean with a complete kitchen, screened in porch and covered deck. Actual cottage better than the photos. The cottage is on the south east side of St. John so you need a vehicle to get to the major beaches. We loved nearby little Lameshur Bay... very few people, great beach and snorkling. Hit the Sunday Brunch at Concordia and have fun at the Skinny Legs Bar in Coral bay... Hidden treasure... meet Ester at the "Pink Corner" in Coral Bay for Barbeque. We will be back.

Cozy cottage in beutifull Coral bay
Russ & Liz do a super job. Always there for you. Nice breeze, Feel like you're tucked into a mountain. Highlight was Ram's Head hike. (pictures just don't do it justice) Beaches = off the charts. Have to suggest "Barefoot Cowboy Lounge" in Cruz Bay, & "Aqua Bistro" in Coral Bay. We really enjoyed the "Quieter" side of the island. Thanx, Capecodders

The cottages at Lameshur are quite unique. The cottages are on an isolated road on the east side of St John, down the road from Coral Bay. The cottage is a bit eclectic, but it has the convenience of a clean bathroom and WI-FI. There’s a nice beach walking distance from the cottage. The only drawback, since the toilet is attached to a septic tank, you can’t flush toilet paper down the drain. I loved staying at Lameshur and listening to the wind and wildlife while sleeping in the cottage.

Cozy Slice Of Paradise
We escaped NYC for five days in St John's and couldn't have been happier with our stay in this cottage. It is a small space but perfectly appointed. After long days of snorkeling and hiking, we were more excited about taking in the views from our cottage's porch than going out to dinner. The wood ceiling and Caribbean decor are tasteful and warm. A great selection of DVDs and CDs helped with the relaxing. The blooming bougainvillea are stunning. Russ and Liz are wonderful hosts and very kind people. We cannot wait to come back here! We stayed in a larger and more expensive place last year, but this cozy slice of paradise is definitely more our speed.

Fun & relaxing stay
This was our first time on St. John and we will be back! The honeymoon cottage is well maintained and cozy. We cooked a lot of our meals there, so we appreciated the kitchen and grill. My only issue was it was a little buggy, but I've heard this is just St. John in general. We did find several large (cockroach I'm guessing?) bugs in the bathroom- that was what bothered me. If you put all food away and wipe the counters after cooking, you shouldn't have any ant issues. This side of the island was quite and out-of-the-way, which is what we were looking for. Salt pond and Lameshur are excellent, uncrowded beaches and super close by. We loved that the cottage provided beach chairs and snorkeling gear, and used them daily. We rented a jeep to explore the island and the north shore beaches too.

Perfect!
My husband I just returned from an all-too brief stay in the studio cottage. This was our 3rd visit to St. John, but our first time staying at the Lameshur Studio. It is by far our favorite place that we have stayed in. The cottage was so adorable and super comfortable for the two of us. We were a little worried about the full size bed, but even that was great- really comfortable mattress-and sleeping was wonderful with the sounds of the island coming through the many windows. Unfortunately, we did not get to meet Liz, but she and Russ have thought of everything. There were brand new beach chairs, a cooler, beach towels and even a beach bag! The cottage itself has tons of books, cd's, and even movies. The kitchen is fully equipped and everything was immaculate. Thank you Russ and Liz for sharing your home with us! We hope to return soon!!

Great getaway off the beaten path!
Lamesure Cottage is a beautiful property on the East side of the island, away from the busy beaches and traffic. You can't beat the location. A gorgeous view of the mountains, walking distance to Salt Pond Bay where there is an amazing beach, snorkeling, and the trailhead to Ram Head Trail which affords spectacular views, and a short crossover to Drunk Bay for early morning sunrise views . Also easy walk to Kittle Bay. This is a nature lovers paradise, with minimal car traffic and lots of solitude. The cottage we stayed in is a small studio, nicely kept and clean. Ownership had transitioned recently, so we understood that there were a few things the new owner wished to improve upon. Bed is a double in the main room, great breeze in the evening. No door to the bathroom requires some creativity when duty calls : ) Awkward at first, but manageable. The outdoor porch is wonderful, with mountain views and breezes, punctuated by small birds visiting frequently. Furniture could use a little rearranging as space is small, but everything you need is there. This is a wonderful rustic retreat in to be enjoyed in the mountains with short walks to the water. Be aware that with this abundance of nature also comes a few bugs, so consider it the price of admission. For the price, this is a great find. Our host Bill was exceedingly gracious and knowledgeable, and couldn't have asked for better. He has tons of knowledge about the island is a wonderful resource! I would definitely stay at Lamesure Cottage again.

A Relaxing Stay in Paradise
My husband and I just returned from a 5 night stay for our 20th wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful time and felt the Lameshur cottage was the perfect base for our trip. We stayed in the studio cottage which was very charming. It is just right for a couple wanting a private, intimate, no-frills place to stay. It had everything we needed. We really liked being on the quiet side of the island and in no way found it too remote. We were able to get to anything we wanted to see in a reasonably short time. Liz was on the property while we were there and was the perfect hostess. Totally non intrusive, but could be found if we needed anything. The only real "issue" we found during our stay was that the remotes for the TV and Dvd player were broken which made using these devices tedious, switching imputs was near impossible. However, as we were not there to watch tv it was not much of a problem for us. I will now address any concerns one might have from our perspective. Bugs: It is the tropics, there are mosquitoes, no-see-ums, opportunistic ants and roaches. We could not sit on the outside patio in the evenings because of mosquitoes, but did enjoy sitting out there in the morning. We also braved the mosquitoes to quickly grill on the porch and then would bring in our meal to the enclosed patio dining area, which was lovely. We never had a problem with mosquitoes in the cottage, I think we only ever found one inside. The screens (which provide a wonderful, airy atmosphere) are tight enough fitting to be effective. We had no problem with No-see-ums (tiny biting flies) at the cottage, though if you are out in the Lameshur Bays/ Yawzi point area around sundown get ready to be eaten alive. Bring bug spray! We never had ants in the cottage, and only once saw a small roach-like bug on the counter (our fault as we left a plate of cookies out overnight). We are originally from Florida and the bugs there were much worse. The bugs in NO WAY detracted from our enjoyment, just a reality to be aware of. Kitchen: Is well enough equipped for light cooking, grilling. If you want to get real fancy you might need to make creative use of what's there. We ate most of our meals in and managed fine. The bathroom: Some have mentioned the curtain separating the bath from living area. This did not bother us and we felt the bathroom was adorable and the shower had a lovely open air feel. Hot water was very limited, but no surprise there, nor much need for it. We will be back, asap!

Chic, breezy Island getaway!
Thank you so much Bill, Emily & Lily!! We thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful, comfortable, unique, open air cottage! The breezes off the ocean and hillsides were lovely. We especially enjoyed the blast from the past by sipping our coffee while listening to 70’s lp’s on the retro turntable! The Bananaquits, frogs & geckos (?) were quite entertaining too! The proximity to Salt Pond Bay for swimming & snorkeling as well as near by restaurants made for a perfect spot to spend a few days on St. John Island!!
