We are late writing this, but my husband and I honeymooned at GBTS in July of 2011, and we loved it! We enjoyed being within walking distance of Cruz Bay, a grocery store, and our Scuba dives. We went on several dives, and we had no problem walking to the dive shop from the B&B. The food was delicious, and... More

Just stayed at GBTS a couple weeks ago. I can't recommend it highly enough. The location is excellent -- just over the hill from town, so you have easy access to the shops and restaurants there, but still feel a little removed from the hustle and bustle (well, as much of that sort of thing as there is in the...

One of my favorite B&Bs that I’ve encountered in my world traveling. Our room was lovely - nicely decorated. The bathroom was amazing which comes with your own private garden. Yes! in the bathroom. The host was helpful. Breakfast was good. Everything was perfect. If you like to have a low-key night, they have a microwave and refrigerator in the... More

This was our first Trip the GBTS. We stayed in the Terrace View Room. Gail and Peter are the wonderful hosts. They are kind, EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the island and great cooks. They make the experience of being not only at the B&B but the whole island better. They are your personal guide to dinning, activity and adventures. You can... More

We've stayed at GBTS three years in a row. We're already making arrangements for next year. Take a look at the photos--the inn is charming. It's old fashioned, painted with all sorts of vivid colors, plants all around, wrap-around deck. The second we arrived--after all the stress that travel involves--we plopped down, and we're shortly whisked away into "island time."... More

This was our second “tour” at the Garden by the Sea. My intent here is to tell everyone that my Wife and I could not have been happier about our 8-night stay. Words will fail me but let me give it a try…. Gail and Peter were each very helpful, thoughtful, kind, and every other superlative anyone could think of…... More

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...
