- Nate&Catherine - from: United States *****. GBTS is the ideal getaway. The hosts were incredibly hospitable, the food was the best on the island, but most of all the advice and conversation were invaluable. The hosts tipped us off to St. John's best secrets. GBTS is clean, quiet, affordable, and a short walk from town. GBTS has everything you will need: maps, sunscreen, bugspray, towels, snacks, drinks, even some snorkel gear. The outdoor shower is heaven. Have breakfast with hummingbirds and iguanas. You'll be in good hands. [67] Thu 11 Apr 2013, 1:29am

- Suzanne & Glenn - from: United States Just back from a wonderful 10 days at GBTS. The location is perfect - far enough from town to be quiet but close enough to walk there when you want. Peter & Gail are tremendous hosts-they know the island well & give great advise about things to do & restaurants. Plus, Gail makes great breakfasts. [66] Wed 23 Nov 2011, 15:12pm

- C and J Davidge - from: United States Should've written this a long time ago! We have been reminiscing about our perfect trip to Garden By the Sea in December 2010 and wondering when we can return! We had a wonderful 4 days/nights full of unforgettable snorkeling, relaxation, and dining. The pictures on the website bring me back, and almost to tears, at how beautiful it is! John and Nancy are the most gracious hosts; we recommend Garden By the Sea to anyone looking for a memorable vacation with just the right amount of personal attention. We enjoyed every minute!

- Joe & Lori - from: United States We just got back from an outstanding week on St. John and we stayed at the best place on the island. The daily breakfast were very good, the hospitality was outstanding, your daily advise was very, very useful. Thank you for a great week and yes, we will return, we loved St. John.

- Carl and Judy - from: United States This was our 2nd visit to St. John and our 1st stay with GBTS. There is no question that we selected the best location for our return trip...wonderful hosts and an ideal intimate location on the island. We felt geuinely welcomed and left with the feeling we had made some new island friends. We hope we can return the favor and host John and Nancy in our home on Martha's Vineyard.

- Bobbie and John - from: United States Our second stay at GBTS, but certainly not our last--planning our return (sooner, not later!) Nancy and John are lovely hosts, and this hideaway B&B is just superb. [62] Mon 21 Mar 2011, 17:33pm

- Patricia n Than - from: United States what a wonderful place! the breakfast was amazing, the garden suite was comfortable and roomy, and john and nancy are the best hosts you can ask for! it is such a special spot with all of the birds and the views. it is just a quick walk into town, but it doesn't feel like you are near any hustle bustle on that peaceful deck. we would love to wake up there every day!

- Ashley & David - from: United States Am so sorry to just be writing this. We stayed at GBTS in March 2010 for David's 40th birthday. It was so perfect and charming that it has completely sold us on B&Bs and we will seek them out wherever we travel in the future. We have already recommended it to friends of ours traveling to St. John for their honeymoon! Thank you. [60] Sat 9 Oct 2010, 10:27am

- Jon&Chris R. - from: United States We're finally on vacation in Maine, with a little free time to send a belated thank you to John and Nancy for our stay with you in April. What a wonderful find you were for our first visit - walking distance to wonderful dinners, with spot-on recommendations to help; guidance to the best snorkeling we've ever experienced - but especially a comfy room and great spot to come home to, complete with baby chicks and peacock. We have a resident hummingbird who makes us nostalgic for the banana quits that kept us company at breakfast on the deck. Thanks again for our stay - hope we can get back down again soon. Jon & Chris [59] Sun 22 Aug 2010, 11:48am

- Dory & Stuart - from: United States Garden By the Sea was the perfect place to stay on St. John! My husband and I were there to celebrate our 5th anniversary. We stayed in the Garden Suite for five nights. Everything was great from the delicious breakfasts to the helpful advice. A huge thank you to Nancy and John for making us feel right at home and helping us to have a very memorable vacation! [58] Fri 25 Jun 2010, 7:49am

- Mark & Lori - from: United States We so enjoyed ourselves at your villa. Everything we could possibly need was at our fingertips. Felt like home. Beautiful island and Trunk Bay was stunning. Thank you Nancy and John. [55] Sun 9 May 2010, 4:57am

- Ruth Ann - from: United States Another wonderful stay at GBTS!!! We recently visited St. John and had the pleasure of getting to know CW and Marcia...wonderful hosts! This was our third stay at GBTS and as always...it was absolutely perfect. We are already looking forward to another trip next year. We often just sigh at the thought of sitting on the veranda watching the sunset. Ahhh... Thanks for adding to our memories! [54] Fri 26 Mar 2010, 18:41pm

- Pam Hemingway - from: United States A little piece of heaven! We truly enjoyed our stay at the Villa with our 2 boys (5 years, 2 years) during the week of Christmas. Everything about the Villa is perfect. From the kitchen, to the living area, to the screened in porch and the patio with a pool to call our "own" for the week. The peace and quiet was an added blessing. No distractions! Thank you for all you have done for our family! [53] Wed 20 Jan 2010, 7:10am

- Mia Mitchell - from: United States Dear John and Nancy, This glowing review should have been written months ago so I apologize for the delay. Scotty and I could not have been more thrilled with our stay at Garden By The Sea in June 2009 during the week that we were married. You helped to make our stay on St. John so enjoyable, from John's endless array of info about the best bits of the island, to Nancy's sumptuous breakfasts - that even my husband got out of bed for! You took such care to make sure that we have everything we needed and more, and we completely fell in love with Garden By The Sear. Your warmth and hospitality added so much to the most memorable week of our lives and we will always be so thankful to you for that. We can't wait to return and hope you both (and Zach!) are well. Much love, Mia and Scotty Mitchell. [52] Fri 4 Dec 2009, 13:26pm

- Barb and Rich - from: United States Your villa was simply gorgeous. Our whole family loved it, from our 20 yr old to our 80 yr old! Great location and perfect for our family get-together. Just as we were getting used to the hills and driving on the left we had to leave. Can't wait to come back! [51] Mon 10 Aug 2009, 7:08am

- Marguerite Reed - from: United States I know this is a bit late in coming, and I apologize--but the memories are still vivid. My husband and I stayed in the Terrace View Room for a few days in November of 2006. We had the very best time under your care; I don't think any other place could've been nicer, more friendly, more relaxing. It really was like a home away from home--but, wow, in the Caribbean. We miss the taste of coconut and lime and get postively wistful whenever we think of our time there. We hope to come back some day! [46] Sun 22 Mar 2009, 10:17am

- Kelli & Patrick - from: United States We spent 2 weeks at the villa over the holiday season. What a beautiful place! Perfect home, close to town and access to Rendezvous Bay. Who could ask for anything more? Nancy and John were available when we needed them and were very helpful. Definitely a place we plan on visiting again. Thank you for everything........ it was a vacation of a lifetime! [45] Sat 28 Feb 2009, 12:31pm

- Pam and Jim - from: United States My husband and I stayed the week of Christmas and had a wonderful time. There is not one thing I would have changed about this trip. John and Nancy were perfect hosts. My husband and I are looking forward to returning as guests, hopefully soon. [44] Fri 2 Jan 2009, 21:09pm

- Kristin & Danny - from: United States We stayed at your wonderful B&B in April and had the time of our lives! St. John has to be the most beautiful place on earth and GBTS was the icing on the cake. Karen and Ibro were the most gracious hosts we could have hoped for. Only there when we needed them, not obtrusive; but full of invaluable information when we asked. Thank you for a wonderful experience, we will be back again next year with our friends. [43] Thu 16 Aug 2007, 14:40pm

- Todd & Josselly - from: United States We really enjoyed our time at GBTS. It was the perfect place for our honeymoon! Breakfast was great every morning and our room was lovely and comfortable (Garden Suite). [42] Thu 5 Jul 2007, 15:28pm
