Schöne - Privat - Romantic - Waterfront - Flucht

My wife and I just returned for a week stay here for our honeymoon. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! The location is perfect and is absolutely private. You'll feel as though you're on your own island. Everything was spotless when we arrived. All of the furniture is top notch and the house is well maintained. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the gallery (deck) daily, rotating between the hammock, chaise lounges and adirondack chairs. Kitchen was well equipped for the few nights we stayed in and cooked for ourselves. Plenty of towels and linens, including beach towels, for us to use while we stayed. There was snorkel gear there (we rented our own and didn't use it), a cooler, and beach chairs (that weren't in good shape). There were also board games, binoculars, books and a dozen or so dvd's for nights spent in. The wifi worked well, but isn't fast enough to stream video on. We used the a/c in the bedroom at night, but the house stays cool with the constant breeze from the east tradewinds. We honestly feel like we won something being able to stay here -- when we return to St. John (and we definitely will), this will be the first place we are looking to book!

Oh, and the driveway -- It's nuts. You'll need a Jeep or SUV. It's intimidating the first time, but no big deal once you've done it a couple times!

The pictures don’t do it justice. The house is beautifully appointed. Built with obvious attention to detail, all the furnishings are high end and very comfortable. We used the BR and the sofa bed. Both were comfortable. We loved the breeze so didn’t use the AC in August. Loved loved loved the wrap around deck! We spent every morning out there drinking coffee and the evenings star gazing and drinking libations! I really can’t say enough good things about this home. It is far away from it all. You get to sleep to the sounds of the ocean and see a massive amount of stars in the night sky! We snorkeled in front of the house one morning and we’re treated by the presence of a apostles eagle ray!!! Heaven.

We loved spending the week is this beautifully located home. Breath taking views! The final drive down the driveway is riveting! We would sometimes stand at the top of the driveway just soaking in the awesomeness. Majestic views! The home is very clean; I was quite impressed having been a housekeeper myself in my earlier day. I could tell they pour a lot of love in to keeping this home well kept. Plenty of shower & beach towels. The A/C in the bedroom was nice after long adventurous, sun-burned days on the beach. We enjoyed watching the goats walk by on the beach early in the morning, the hermit crabs rummaging about, and the cute birds playing on the jeep we rented enjoying their reflection in the windows. Hansen bay is the closest beach to the house & absolutely found it to be our favorite as it being on the end of St. John there were no other people on the beach but ourselves and it was spectacularly clear. The house does have a beach umbrella, snorkel gear (we brought our own though), beach chairs. If your picking up groceries be sure to get condiments as well. Since coral bay was closest we ate at Pickles for breakfast- their breakfast burrito is amazing! Miss Lucy's had great lunch & cocktails with a great view- conch fritters were on point! If looking for good fine dining experience try Extra Virgin Bistro in Cruz Bay- amazing ambiance, service and food...you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend a night spent walking around Cruz bay. The night life with music echoing through the air, the cool breeze and people were so nice. We had to pry ourselves away this house when it was time to leave. Beautiful, fun island to visit. Loved every minute of it!

We stayed June 14-20, 2018 and loved the peacefulness of this house. We decided to cook our own meals since the kitchen was great, the outdoor table gave us the ability to enjoy the sound of the ocean and amazing stars that filled the sky.

There was too much wave action to snorkel in front of the property the week we were there but it was a short drive to other great snorkel spots.

This was not only our first time to stay in Stony Bay Beach House, but our first time to St John, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Bob (owner) & Kathy (property manager) were both extremely responsive and so helpful! They answered all our newbie questions and made sure we had all the maps and info we needed. Kathy even met us in town to drive us to the house. You will definitely need a four-wheel drive to maneuver that driveway--it's no joke--but totally doable and worth it! The house was clean and in perfect condition--so private and peaceful. The only downside was the water (in our own private bay!) was too rough to snorkel right from the house, but we didn't care! We loved star-gazing at night and hearing nothing during the day but ocean waves. We will be back!
