The House of Open Arms is a perfect combination of incredible scenery, comfort, value and fellowship. It has a Billionaire's view of the bay and mountains, a beautiful layout, and a fascinating owner in Catherine Perry. Catherine will fix you a truly delicious welcome meal, and is happy to leave you alone, or can regale you with wonderful stories of... more

My wife and I stayed in the Villa the first week of November and just absolutely loved it. St. John is spectacular, but had we stayed in Cruz Bay or at one of the resorts, I'm sure our experience would have been totally different. Open Arms location overlooking Coral Bay on the "quiet" side of lightly populated St. John sets... more

My husband and I recently had our wedding on Cinnamon Bay Beach and were very fortunate to have selected the Villa at a House of Open Arms for our honeymoon! Catherine Perry, the lovely innkeeper and creator, has created a resort with all the elegance, sophistication, privacy and affluent style of a celebrity's retreat, at very affordable prices! She has... more

After working tirelessly at our wedding my (then) fiance and I needed a honeymoon that would put absolutely no demands on us and be in a beautiful setting where we could soak in the magic of being newlyweds. This is why we chose the cottage at the House of Open Arms. From the beginning the owner Catherine Perry was extremely... more

We stayed in the cottage and had the most relaxing vacation ever! Catherine, the owner, pampers you from the moment you step off the ferry and is a delightful hostess who anticipates your every need without being in the least invasive. The property is in a breathtakingly beautiful location and we looked forward to our gin and tonics on the... more

In short, Catherine, who owns and operates this establishment, is a wonderful lady who truly cares about her guests and their comfort and enjoyment of their time with her. She really went out of her way to make us comfortable, and we were. She provides so many simple personal touches which most proprieters do not. The guest areas (we stayed... more

My wife and I stayed at A House of Open Arms for the second week of our honeymoon. For the first week, we stayed in a much more expensive, all-inclusive resort. That was nice, but A House of Open Arms is truly special! It is much prettier than the pictures on the website and decorated very well. It is also... more

We spent our honeymoon at the House of Open Arms, and could not have asked for a more peaceful, beautiful, fun, or more relaxing vacation. The Villa and the Cottage are both kept pristine and Catherine has done an amazing job making it a 5-star experience for her guests. The best part of everyday was coming back to the beautiful... more
