Frommer's Review

Overlooking the ocean, this little B&B lies a 10-minute walk south of Cruz Bay. It has easy access to the north shore beaches and lies between Frank and Turner bays. From the gardens of the house, a 1-minute walk along Audubon Pond leads to Frank Bay Beach. Each bedroom features elephant bamboo canopy beds, Japanese fountains, air-conditioning, and hardwood floors. Artifacts from around the world have been used to furnish the units, but don't expect phones or TVs, as this is a getaway, not a communications center. The 1970s house is designed in a Caribbean gingerbread-style with cathedral beamed ceilings. Breakfast is served on the veranda (try their homemade muffins and quiche). Be sure to reserve in advance, as this charming little inn offers only three bedrooms.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
