Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Fish Bay
Our family always loved St. John and the Virgin Islands both US and British. We bought on St. John because it was the least developed of the VI and had the most character. The island is roughly the size of Manhattan, an island we spent many years traveling to & from, but the population is only about 5,000. There is so much to see and enjoy here that you are always entertained by the beauty and never overwhelmed by the people. Come hike our trails, swim in our ocean and share our vistas.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
We designed the house with families in mind. When my family is here there are about 15 of us plus 3 dogs and a cat. Ages range from 93 to infancy and people's interests vary from wanting nothing to do but lounge by the pool, to watching old movies on the TV with AC on to going snorkeling at a remote beach. We needed a place where everyone could feel comfortable and not crowded. The multi-tiered levels allows us to be together without being on top of each other, while the expansive deck by the pool gives us plenty of room to all be together for some activity and meals. This property is about family, friends and finding some freedom during your visit.
Beach is about 15 min walking distance from the house and is a great location for snorkeling and hiking. It is usually pretty empty here and you feel like you've got your own private beach.
Another great hidden location for guests is Klein Bay, a 20 min hike from the house or 4 min drive the beach is ideal for skipping stones and taking a late afternoon dip as the sun sets behind the hil
A 25-35 min hike from the house or a 8 min drive brings you to the unofficial trail head down to Reef Bay. This beach is almost always empty sans a few surfers on the reef. An awesome place to swim, s
MUST VISIT! Go on Sundays between 10 - 2 for a great Jazz Brunch on the water. The location is killer and the music is awesome. Enjoy eggs benedict, banana pancakes and mimosa. Don't forget to feed th
On the North Shore this is the fastest and easiest beach to reach from the house taking about 15 - 20 mins by car. It is an easy drive up and get in the water kind of a location. Perfect for families
For those who like adventure this off the beaten path and a little hike down to the water. Snorkeling is great, swimming is isolated and beach is nice for a picnic. Come early, only 4 parking spots.
AWESOME views, amazing photo ops, this is the place to get your Holiday photo. It is where weddings happen regularly and where families can enjoy all the beach has to offer from under water snorkeling
Take the 1.5 mile hike from the National Park Dock and reach this secluded picturesque beach by land or sea. This is for the sturdy beach goer, there are no facilities so bring water and hat. The walk
