This was a gem in St. John! My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights and as soon as we arrived, we felt like we were at home. We were "upgraded" to the Garden Suite from the Wild Ginger since someone cancelled at the last minute. The room was large, comfortable and the open air shower was so cool.... More

My wife and I stayed in the Terrace View Room in The Garden By The Sea for a week (our last vacation before our first kid). In short: - the location is great (close to town but not too close), - the BnB is a non-pretentious and charming - the price was about as reasonable as high season can be... More

We visited Garden by the Sea in October, and were so sad when we had to leave. It was perfect! Beautiful view from our sliding door in our room, breakfast on the veranda was excellent, and the B&B is gorgeous! The mosaics on the floor are gorgeous! The hospitality is second to none, Peter and Gayle were so accomidating and... More

This was one of the highlights of my honeymoon. The rooms are beautiful, the view is great, there are outdoor showers! and the breakfasts are delicious. Gail and Peter were wonderful, helpful hosts and my husband and I really enjoyed just lounging in the outdoor living area and chatting with them! Gail knows all the best restaurants and places to...

My wife and I enjoyed our week-long stay at Garden-By-The-Sea very much. The b&b is very colorful, casual, and relaxing. There were 3 bedrooms with an open-air patio for everyone to use. The owners were extremely accomomdating to the needs of the guests. (although they were looking to sell the b&b to concentrate on a rental villa on the island) More

Perfect for St John were perfect guests. We really love having the B&B and our guests are what make it so enjoyable. But the B&B IS for sale. We've had it for over 6 years and are looking for another venture. But Garden by the Sea will continue being a B&B even if it does sell. What we are selling,... More

We were celebrating a ten year anniversary and wanted a little R&R on St. John. We enjoyed our experience on the Island and with our knowledgable & enjoyable hosts. The location for us was excellent. We wanted a place to relax, yet being close enough to some fun evening entertainment. If you enjoy a stroll, the B&B is just a... More

We had a great stay at GBTS and would definitely return if we stay at Cruz Bay again. We won't repeat all the wonderful things people have already said - they are all true! A few things we noted that are talked about less. We stayed in the Wild Ginger room - a very nice basic room with a really... More

My wife and I spent 4 nights at GBTS (in the Wild Orchid room) in early February, 2011. First, it should be said that the owners of the B&B, Nancy and John, are two of the nicest, most hospitable B&B hosts we have encountered over the years. For instance, last year, when we were supposed to have stayed at GBTS,... More
