to provide some back story, i have been a vegan for about a year and am a frequent patron of B&Bs. my dietary needs have led to a variety of reactions by the B&B owners - ranging from annoyance (only once) to thinking it's no big deal and providing a simple alternatives such as oatmeal or nuts or soy milk...

I stayed here back in february of this year and it was definitely the best vacation of my life. The delicious breakfasts, the quiet & peaceful atmosphere, the close walking distance to town & the beach (and shell hunting), the birds everywhere... And the best and most friendliest hosts I could ever imagine... were all spectacular. I would never want... More

I stayed as a solo traveler at this perfectly run B&B in October 2010. The owners stay on site and they are extremely helpful with advice about all kinds of things from hiking trails to day trips to solar energy and homebuilding. The rooms are sparkling clean and comfy. There is fridge space for storing food, sunscreen and bugspray provided,... More

We are so glad we chose to stay at Garden by the Sea for the week of our island wedding. My husband and I agree that we probably couldn't have found a better place to suit our laid-back personalities. The bed and breakfast is located in a charming little cottage nestled in the trees. We love that it is homey... More

Our room, Garden Room had a lovely sitting room and romantic 4-poster bed with mosquito netting. Our bathroom with a screen ceiling was... More

Clean, quiet, cool and well maintained B&B. Wonderful breakfasts on the indoor/outdoor patio. Our host was very knowledgeable about the island-places to go, what to expect when you got there, things to do, and where to eat. Little things that meant a lot- beach towels, beach chairs, sunscreen and deet- were at our disposal. More

Fantastic Bed and Breakfast because of great hosts, clean rooms, privacy, and proximity to Cruz Bay. Jon and Nancy were great hosts who attempt to accommodate any need you can think of. If you get on the island with out much of a plan, they can help you form one. Since we booked within 2 weeks of heading to the... More

We traveled to St. John for our 20th wedding anniversary, and were very pleased with our choice of Garden By the Sea. Nancy was a wonderful, helpful, friendly host, and the B & B was charming. Garden by the Sea is within walking distance to town and many restaurants, and only a five to ten minute drive to St. John's... More
