About this property

Beautiful - Private - Romantic - Waterfront - Escape

Stoney Bay Beach House is a one bedroom, one bath masonry house with a 60 foot long covered gallery, located in privateer bay estates nestled on it's own private beach. The house is close to the ocean and facing directly east taking advantage of the trade winds to keep the house nice and cool, and is one of the least" buggiest" locations on St John. The house is the only one in Stony Bay, part of Privateer Bay, so the only neighbors you will be able to see will be on the BVI,s!
You will have no noise from cars, trucks, construction, dogs, roosters or people from this incredible location.
The living room/dining room has beautiful soaring 18' cypress ceilings, with comfortable upscale furniture. You can enjoy watching the sunrise over Norman Island (aka Treasure Island) and the Caribbean sea from the comfort of your pillow top bed. The gallery is very close to the water and has a hammock , lounge chairs, Adirondack chairs and a table with 4 chairs for outdoor dining. The kitchen has all the amenities including a dishwasher and front loading washer and dryer. There is a coral reef right in front of the house to Privateer Bay for endless underwater exploring.
If privacy, seclusion and nature are what your looking for this location is like no other.
A 4wd is necessary for this house and many places on STJ. A 2dr 4wd jeep is best and renting on STJ is recommended because if there is a issue with a vehicle help will be nearby. ATT is the best cell service in most locations.

Tranquility by the sea!
You couldn’t ask for a more private and exclusive cottage right on your own secluded beach. The host and his property manager were excellent communicators and the property was even better than described. The house was well equipped with everything you could need to enjoy St John. Coolers, beach towels and chairs came in very handy as my husband and I like to get up early and find new places to explore. We especially loved the surrounding grounds. The beautiful plants and greenery attracted humming birds by the dozens and the little sugar birds were all over the flowering plants. We are big on wildlife and never needed an alarm to wake us up as the goats (lots of babies) woke us up right on time. Happened to meet a few neighbors up the hill who were just lovely. If you are looking for a quiet retreat away from the hustle of everyday life this is the place to stay for sure. We just can’t say enough good things about our stay! We will be back!!

Amazing!
We loved this beautiful spot! Right on the beach, and feels like you have your very.own.bay. Truly a getaway-only enough room for two! Iguanas, Bananaquits, Hummingbirds, goats. East end sunrises, afternoons on the shady porch Everything you need, beautifully and simply decorated, clean and cheerful. Internet was surprisingly quite good (didn’t expect it to be!) Surrounded by beautiful gardens. Perfect directions to the house. Responsive property mgr. Close to great east end snorkels at Hanson, Haulover, Princess, Salt Pond, Lameshur.

Second Stay As Great as The First
We returned to the East End to stay at Stony Bay and are so glad we did. This place is ideal for those who enjoy privacy, sea breezes, insanely gorgeous island/ocean views, shell collecting, spectacular sunrises, magnificent stargazing. We enjoyed watching the hermit crabs and goats travel back and forth each morning and evening. The home has everything needed for cooking, laundry, beach hopping (chairs, coolers, snorkel equipment) or just resting either on the deck or right on the beach. The bed, furniture, towels, and dishes are all high quality so you'll feel right at home. Thanks to the owner, Bob, and the property manager, Whitni, for their support. We had a great time!
Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023
