After, hike up the Reef Bay trail to see the Tanino Indian petroglyphs carved into stone with primitive tools.

Great vacation at Fish Tales
We had a wonderful stay at Fish Tales! It was everything we needed and hoped for. The little pool was perfect for our children ages 4-10. Tammy was very attentive when we needed her (for minor questions). Overall, a great vacation and we’ll be back!

Fun house near Reef Bay
The house has a nice view over fish Bay and out to little St James to the west. It is easy to get to, would recommend 4 wheel drive for St. John. The breeze through the house is wonderful and there are fans in each room. AC in both bedrooms works fine. It is a short hike from the house down to Reef Bay and then if you are adventurous over to the reef bay trail. We went from there all the way over it little lameshur and snorkeled and came back within a day. The views are amazing! The neighborhood is clean and safe and there are areas to walk. The property manager and the person who meets you at the ferry and drives with you to the property are very knowledgeable and nice and will take care of any issues. Thanks to the property manager for taking care of us when we were delayed a day because we missed our flight! We had a blast hiking and going to beaches all over the island and looking at the stars at night out on the deck. Highly recommended!!

Great stay at Fish Bay
Everyone had a great time staying at Fish Bay. The location was nice and quiet with a nice view of the bay and almost-daily rainbows. There is a pond down below with various ducks and wading birds ( and lucky for us a Scarlet Ibis)!!! The cottage had a nice homey and relaxing feel. We had everything we needed to cook or grill with. Coolers to pack lunch for the day and beach towels. Also had a spotting scope, which came in handy for watching the Scarlet Ibis. The pool was nice to come back to after a day of hiking. Everyone at Fish Bay was very prompt in answering any questions we had. A special shout out to Dayna for trying to keep up with our incoming flight being delayed several times,( just catching the last ferry to St.John), and helping us out on our hike!! We traveled all over the Island and were always glad to come back to Fish Bay. Would highly recommend staying here.

Perfect spot to relax on the island!
Our stay at Fish Tails was absolutely wonderful!! The home was clean, comfortable, and we had everything needed to enjoy a delicious Thanksgiving meal for the holiday. Communication with Tammy was spot on, and we would definitely recommend this stay to anyone coming to St. John.

Paradise
This property was the perfect rental for our family of 4 to use as our home while we explored this beautiful island. The rental team was very supportive during our stay.
