The perfect place to stay!
We stayed here for our wedding week and everything was absolutely perfect! The Sunflower unit was spacious, clean and has an absolutly stunning view. The hosts are so incredibly kind and accommodating. The property is close to so many great restaurants and all the best nightlife on island, we would highly recommend the Stone House!

Beautiful Oasis!
Our stay with Robert and Joanie was amazing! They were fantastic hosts who went above and beyond to help make our trip memorable. All the little details like beach coolers, snorkel gear, insect repellant, beach chairs, and even reusable shopping bags were so helpful to have daily! The views from this private oasis can’t be beat, the bed was very comfortable, and the location was perfect for its proximity to Secret Harbor (loved snorkeling at this beach), grocery stores, ferry and Red Hook.

Great place for our vacation trip
We had a great time here. It is small; one room kitchen area and bed, and a bathroom/shower. But for the two of us just fine. Kitchen had all the conveniences you need, the bed was comfortable, and the apartment was very nicely and tastefully furbished. Outdoor gas grill. The view from the balcony was just unbeatable. We enjoyed having breakfast and dinner there. Location was great. Super quiet neighborhood. Short walk down the hill on a quiet street to get to Secret Harbor Beach, with some of the best snorkeling on the island and a very nice restaurant. A food market is just a 5 minute drive away. We didn't go to any of the many restaurants in Red Hook, but they're also only 5 minutes away. The owners were super nice, sent us all sorts of useful info before we arrived and were there to greet us on arrival. We wouldn't hesitate to make this our home base again on a future trip to St Thomas

our perfect little paradise!
My husband and I stayed at Sunflower for about a week, and we had the most perfect time. The studio apartment is exactly as pictured, and the views are just as unbelievable. Joanie was such an amazing host, and was incredibly fast in responding with any questions. Our taxi driver from the airport was having trouble finding Stonehouse, and the taxi driver called Joanie and she talked him through exactly where to go. You couldn't have a more responsive and kind host!! The studio apartment was the perfect size for two people. We were able to cook breakfast and grill out. The patio is definitely the best part- we spent most of our time lounging out there. One thing to note- the mosquitos and ants are very present. I would recommend bringing your own bug spray (we bought some down at the dive shop) because we were eaten up after the first night. There are a lot of ants, so you have to be really intentional about cleaning plates well and keeping all food in the fridgte, not on the counter. The walk to the beach is so easy and fast. You have to walk uphill on the way back, but it just takes 5 minutes. The snorkeling is amazing. The dive shop right at the beach is amazing. and the bar/restauarant right on the beach is amazing. You have all that you need, and then redhook is a quick taxi for more food/bars and the ferry to St. John. I was a little nervous booking a place so far away without knowing much, but it was such a great decision, and we can't wait to come back!

Great Host, Nice View
Joanie is fantastic. Unfortunately, the week we arrived the area was facing an unusual extreme heat wave. The AC wasn’t working, and had to book elsewhere. Joanie helped and assisted us with that. You couldn’t ask for a better host and person who understands your needs and to make things right.
