Getting to Bambooshay (map at bottom of page)
The easiest and most common way to get to St. John is by ferry, which leaves from the Red Hook landing pier on St. Thomas's eastern tip. The trip to St. John takes about 20 minutes. Beginning at 6:30am, boats depart more or less every hour. Your best bet is to take a cab from the airport. Depending on the traffic, the cab ride on St. Thomas could take 30 to 45 minutes.
It's also possible to board a boat for St. John directly at the Charlotte Amalie waterfront. The ferry ride takes 45 minutes. The boats depart from Charlotte Amalie at 9am and continue at intervals of between 1 and 2 hours, until the last boat departs around 5:30pm.
If you are renting a car at the airport you need to drive to Red Hook, passenger and car ferry depart from here.
The 20-minute ferry ride from St. Thomas will take you to Cruz Bay, the capital of St. John. Cruz Bay is so small that its streets have no names. Once you have arrived pick up your rental car or jeep and head to Coral Bay taking either North Shore Road or Centerline Road. The cottage is approximately a 3 minute drive from the fire station on the top of Seagrape Hill.
