About this property

Spectacular waterfront villa/private beach GREAT SNORKELING, sunrise/sunset view

PEBBLE BEACH is a spacious 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath, stone and masonry home located in a spectacular, natural setting with 370 feet of waterfront on East End overlooking the waters of Coral Bay. Stunning wraparound views of distant mountains and turquoise seas greet you as you enter the house. Pathways and terraces surround the house and wind through colorful flowering plants, wild orchids, and tropical landscaping.

A stairway leads from the house to your own snorkeling beach. A second pocket pebble beach is accessible by swimming, a secret private hideaway perfect for honeymooners or lovers. Both beaches consist of pebbles over sand. Excellent snorkeling, swimming sunbathing in protected and calm waters. Follow turtles or schools of blue tang between the sea fans and over coral heads.

Elk and brain coral, colorful queen angelfish, parrotfish, puffers, sergeant majors, and schools of other tropical fish provide a natural aquarium around the house. Another beach and more excellent snorkeling are a 5-minute walk away at Haulover Bay.

Large screened sliding glass doors provide stunning 270-degree views of sparkling bays and green mountains and allow the constant tradewinds to keep the house cool. The house is fully air-conditioned, including the three bedrooms.

Relax in the living room, on the deck, or in the hammock and watch the pelicans dive, the fish jump, or the turtles surface in the brilliantly clear, 80 degree waters below you. Watch the wind play on the water, yachts sail by, and spectacular sunsets as you relax on the deck after a full day of snorkeling or exploring. The kitchen is a cook's dream with a pantry and water views on three sides and a full pantry.

The spacious master bedroom with a king and a daybed opens to its own deck for sunrise viewing and water views. Stairs off the deck lead to down the Kitchen/LR level, the lower BR and the beach. A spacious tiled 2 sink bathroom with shower joins the master bedroom.

The second master bedroom with a king has a private entrance, a private deck with sunset and water views overlooking Haulover Bay the National Park land, and water. It has a large 2 sink bathroom with an enclosed garden shower.

The third bedroom and fresh air bath with a shower is down one flight of stairs from the main floor, with a large deck/sitting area, also with water views. The bed can be prepared as two twins or a king. All three bedrooms afford excellent visual and sound privacy from the others. Enjoy your dream vacation at Pebble Cove and you'll return again and again. This is the place for people who love nature, beauty, and snorkeling.

You can rent kayaks locally and keep them on the beach, making it easy to explore the protected surrounding waters.

With great swimming in the year-round calm waters of the bay, you have a spectacular nature-made pool just steps away!

A Stunning and Quiet Location on the East End!!
The photos in this listing really do not do this place justice! If you’ve ever been to Saint John, this location is even more beautiful and secluded than the beaches and parts of the island near Cruz Bay. While the roads are a bit windy to get there from the ferry, it’s worth it to have an entire house and private beach all to yourself! Our deck overlooking the ocean was the perfect spot for morning coffee and evening sunsets. We snorkeled every day in Haulover Bay and around our private beach and it was some of the best sea life on the entire island! A very unique house that is worth the stay! Not to mention Linda’s communication was outstanding throughout the entire process. We will definitely be back. 10/10!

Great location. Spectacular setting!!
Linda’s place is incredibly well situated for fantastic snorkeling and convenient to restaurants in coral bay. Beautiful views from the main floor and wrap around deck. Great outdoor shower for rinsing off after your snorkel adventures right off the private beach in front.

Great house - perfect location
This was our 2nd time staying at Pebble Cove. Communication was great with Linda before and during our stay. Our family loves the quiet East End location and we spent most of our time at the house, the beaches down the road, and Coral Bay for dining and groceries. The best snorkeling is right in front and along the reef - we enjoyed the convenience and diversity of sea life. Hope to visit again!

Amazing snorkling location
Our family of 5 (40, 40, 6, 11, 81) had a great time. The villa looks even better than pictures. The rooms have separate entrances which required some getting used to, but we settled fine. Mom (81) managed stairs down to the beach very well (good rails!). We saw almost all types fish listed in the guide kindly provided by the host, as well as octopus, squid and turtles! Later in the evening I saw small reef sharks and a huge nurse shark which was so majestic! We went to a few other beaches but the reef in front of this house was the best by far. You could also swim really far along the shore both ways to a neighboring reef. Kids also enjoyed watching various wild life outside: iguanas, gekkos, frogs, hermit crabs.The views from the balconies were stunning. Would love to return.

About the host

Hosted by Linda and Allen

Host profile image
After sailing yachts for years we chose to settle on St. John to raise a family. We were looking for a home that would keep us close to the sea and the joys of the underwater world. Pebble Cove seemed to fit the bill perfectly. It is as close to living on a boat as we could find while living on land. We have enjoyed Pebble Cove as our special place for many years and enjoy sharing the house with our many repeat guests who return year after year.

Why they chose this property

We found Pebble Cove for sale as we drove in the beautiful community of East End and it looked like a small property from the road. We were blown away when we walked through the front door into foyer of native stone and a panorama of ocean views and mountains through the archway. In our wildest dreams we had never imagined owning such a piece of paradise but we knew immediately that we must work out a way. And we did! We later got married under that same archway.

What makes this property unique

In our way of thinking a pebble beach is preferable to a sand beach because, as snorkelers and divers, we look for the teeming colorful tropical sea life that is found on and near coral reefs. Sand beaches in contrast have less visible life as the sand continually moves and keeps the coral from growing. At Pebble Cove we found the endless aquarium that we love and in a protective bay that allows comfortable swimming all year round, unlike the North Shore where winter swells stir up the water and surf. We also love the proximity to nature and the sea that this East End home offers, where we can fall asleep to the sound of the water lapping on the shore of our own beach. Our many repeat guests share these same joys and fill our guest books with stories of beautiful days enjoying the water and house.
