Athena's knowledge of the East End was limitless. Her willingness to show us around was more than we could have ever hoped for. Even though we were here off season and most restaurants were closed, we had great meals at Island Blues and The Tourist Trap. Our favorite snorkel was right here in Hansen Bay. We look forward to our next visit.

We had the most amazing vacation here at Rebecca's Fancy. From the fresh flowers in the cottage upon arrival, to the homemade meal Athena cooked for us, everything has been fantastic. We are so glad we chose to stay in the East End as we did not have to experience the hustle and bustle of Cruz Bay. We spent most of the days on Hansen Bay beach relaxing and snorkeling; there was hardly anyone there, which is why we loved it. We did venture out to Trunk Bay, which has the most beautiful beach, but also crowded, and charged $4.00 for admission. Francis Bay was another beautiful beach, and a lot less crowded than the others. We cooked most of our meals right here at the cottage and were able to find almost anything we needed at either Lily's Gourmet or Love City Mini-Mart. We found the best snorkeling to be right here at Hansen Bay and also Trunk Bay. We will definitely be back, hopefully for our one year Anniversary!

| Everything and every single minute was perfect. Rebecca's Fancy surpassed how beautiful I imagined it would be..Jay and Athena are so hospitable and so rightfully pleased with their little piece of paradise. Their commitment to preserving the culture and charm as well as the environment of the East End is contagious. The cottage has everything we needed and every inch has been built with the highest standards of quality and excellence. Starting the day with coffee while sitting on the wraparound porch or closing the night with vino and the moon and stars..all possible 6 inches from any of the four doors leading to the porch. We traveled all over the island, enjoying Salt Pond on the south and the northside beaches. In the end we decided Hansen Bay, just steps off the driveway provided equal or better beaches and snorkling; even when a huge (harmless) stingray swam right under me. Next time, I am packing 1/3 the clothing and bringing most of my meals for the week to make the most of Rebecca's Fancy. If you want to sleep well, relax, swim, kayak and snorkle in the best spots on the USVI a beautiful place, this is it! We shall return! Thanks J & A! |

Our time here on St. John has become a vital and fantastic part of our journey on Planet Earth. Life has become more vibrant and meaningful. We spent most of our days right here on the beach and some amazing experiences were: kayaking with the sea turtles. Spotting star fish, angelfish, conch, rays, octopi, brittle stars, jelly fish and much more during snorkeling adventures all around Round Bay-Sunsets on the deck of Rebecca's Fancy-Windsurfing at Cinnamon Bay-THANK YOU!

Everything here at Rebecca's Fancy is so perfect-Jay & Athena have thought of everything you could possibly need, and have provided it here. We did manage to leave for a bit everyday and explored different beaches and restaurants, mainly snorkeling at Salt Pond-beach was great-we saw a shark! The sand and shade at Maho beach was terrific, too. We really enjoyed lunch at Miss Lucy's and pizza at the Donkey Diner, but the dinner out at Sweet Plantains was the best! We especially enjoyed the thunder & lightening storm-we found the candles & played cards. Hope to return soon!

Most memorable moments-early morning meditation on the beach or on the deck overlooking the sea. Mourning doves; taking the pain of my Mom's passing & allowing me to have peace & fun on the island. Everything tasted great on this island from PBJ's on the beach, Athena's shrimp & orzo, fresh fish on the grill with mango chutney, burgers at Skinny Leg's or our last night favorite, Sweet Plantains.
Snorkeling hot spots for us were: Salt Pond and Waterlemon Cay. Favorite sea life-starfish bed, sea turtles, octopus, conch & schools of pretty blue fish. Best beaches-Honeymoon & Oppenheimer. Cinnamon Bay was really nice & Trunk Bay was postcard perfect-bring your camera! Only regret-leaving! Wish we could have stayed longer. We loved Rebecca's Fancy and the sounds of the night. Jay & Athena are the best! Thanks for a wonderful stay-perhaps we will meet again in Dominica!

We have been here for 10 glorious days. It's even better than it looked on the net! Jay & Athena have been terrific hosts, & we feel blessed to have stayed here; they are terrific humans! Some of our favorite past times were snorkeling right here in Hansen Bay; lots of fish and beautiful coral & big barracuda. He looks scarier than he is! Snorkeling Waterlemon Cay was also terrific & visiting the baths at Virgin Gorda is worth the long boat ride.
Our favorite restaurants were Donkey Diner (great breakfast & pizza), Shipwreck Landing & Miss Lucy's.
But the best part of all was being right here in this beautiful breeze & view. Thank you Jay & Athena!

Our first time in St. John and we really hit the ball outta the park with Rebecca's Fancy & the peaceful and stunningly beautiful East End. We spent most of our early mornings sipping coffee and looking at the bay. Then we'd venture off on a hike or take the rental kayaks to Haulover Bay or any number of secluded bays and beaches in Hurricane Hole. Hiking highlights include the majestic Ram's Head and Lameshur Beach area, tho' there wasn't much of a view at the top of Bordeaux Mnt. Trail. We snorkeled most days & were thrilled to see lots of turtles, barracuda,& sting rays at Leinster Beach in particular. What a place that was! No more than 20 people on the beach-and we were the very last to leave a sunset. As for eating. we brought much of our food, preferring to kick back at Rebecca's Fancy at the end of the day and avoid the "crowds" of Coral Bay & Cruz Bay. Adam really enjoyed his gin & tonics, esp. w/the added lime twist from Athena's tree. Liz opted for rum & cokes which she will say goodbye to after leaving. Many thanks to our generous & upbeat hosts, Athena & Jay. Thank you for sharing your paradise with us!

Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise! Each time we ventured into Cruz Bay, we couldn't wait to return to the solitude of East End. Our cottage was perfect-from the fresh flowers to the comfortable beds. Our favorite thing to do was sit on the porch and "veg"!
We never ate dinner in Cruz Bay, choosing rather to frequent Coral Bay restaurants. Our favorites were Aqua Bistro and Skinny Legs. The best hamburger ever at Skinny Legs!
We tried all the beaches. Trunk Bay is the most beautiful, but was too crowded at times. Therefore our favorite was Maho Bay, less beach but quiet.
We loved the wildlife-the goats, the donkeys, chickens...this is how it was meant to be. Thank you Athena and Jay.
