About this property

Suite on the Beach - Very Rare White Sand Beachfront- Heart of the National Park

Perched on the hillside 50 yards above pristine Peter Bay Beach in the heart of the Virgin Islands National Park, the suite boasts one of the most idyllic locations on all of St. John. Sugar white sand beaches and crystal clear turquoise waters are at your doorstep from this private one and a half acre beachfront property. The Caribbean views from Peter Bay beyond Whistling Key to Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands are simply magnificent.

This private 1 bedroom suite features fantastic ocean views from all principal rooms, a 4 poster mahogany bed in the AC’d bedroom, a full kitchen and a large outdoor tiled deck complete with hammock, dining area and barbeque. The suite consists of the lower portion of a traditional Caribbean home and possesses an authentic old world tropical feel, surrounded by lush gardens and emerald green hills. The property owners live onsite in the completely separate upper portion of the house and are available to assist with anything you may require. Private beach chairs and snorkel gear are provided for your use down at Peter Bay Beach, which is accessed via a private, paved path and stairway on the property. There is excellent snorkeling at the coral reef right in front of the house. During the day, soak up the sun, sand and waves from this very private beachfront location. At night, listen to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach and the tree frogs’ serenade while gazing at the bounty of bright stars in the sky. Relax at this nature lover’s paradise.

Rates based on double occupancy. For a third person please add $100 per night.

Not a ‘suite on the beach’
Because of health reasons this year, our most important reason in a property on the island of St John, which we had visited many times, was being close to the beach. The description said it was 30 yards to the beach. Instead, it was at least double if not triple that distance. It was walking up a very steep hill, then down an even longer steep hill, then down 62 stair steps. And of course the same distance getting back up to the property. We did have a very nice view from this property.

Absolutely incredible
We have been to St John multiple times and this trip was absolutely our favorite. The location of the home is spectacular. It’s an easy 3 minute walk to beautiful Peter Bay Beach. We ended spend time there daily either as a great way to start our day or to end it. We saw many turtles, starfish, octopus and a variety of colorful fish snorkeling right in front of the house. David and Denise are fantastic host. David was our main contact and he was kind and very helpful in making sure our trip was all we had hoped it would be. We will 100% be staying at suite on the beach during our next stay…oh I forgot to mention the view is gorgeous and it’s awesome sitting on the balcony watching the boats go by. Book it. You will love it.

Spectacular View and Great Hosts
"Suite on the Beach" afforded a spectacular view of Peter Bay and beyond from the porch. The suite was very clean, well stocked, and the evening chorus of tree frogs was quite interesting. The secluded beach, accessed by path and stairs, had very good snorkeling and swimming. Denise and David, our wonderful hosts, were very knowledgeable about the island and gave great suggestions about its many gorgeous beaches, hiking trails, and restaurants. Dinners at 18*N 64*W, Morgan's Mango, Ocean 362, and La Tapa were all enjoyable. To enjoy a pretty view, make advance reservations at Ocean 362 and La Tapa for a table before sunset. We rented a jeep for our stay. Snorkeling each day of our trip accessed from different beaches on St. John sometimes snorkeling from one beach around to another was quite beautiful. We certainly hope to have the opportunity to return to "Suite of the Beach"!

Amazing and perfect!
The location was perfect. The accommodations were perfect. They were amazing hosts-so kind and friendly and knowledgeable and helpful. They pick you up from the ferry help you get to your rental and "around" upon arrival-take you to the grocery store and then to the location. The walk down to the beach is short but steep. Loved being able to go down to beach and sit in lounge chairs reserved for us at any time. Especially morning. It is stunning. The beach, the house, the views, the location, the hosts--I really can't say enough good things. Leaving was the only bad thing. We will be back!

St. John Gem in Awesome Location
The location of this place is perfectly located just off north shore road just outside the national park in center island. From that location you can be at all the gorgeous beaches (Cinnamon, Maho, and Trunk) within 10 minutes allowing you to beat any crowds or return for late afternoon when most everyone is gone. The location is only 20 minutes from Cruz Bay for dinner and shopping. The best perk of all is that the owner meets you at the ferry, takes you to pick up your rental car then on to the grocery store and the property. Finding a rental property initially on an island is stressful due to the lack of signage, especially after a long flight. Denise and David are wonderful owners. Will be back.

Beautiful Location!
What an amazing week we had at the Suite on the Beach! It is the perfect suite for two, with a comfortable bed and lovely sitting spots on the deck. The view is spectacular, and the beach is truly private. Peter's Bay is a handy spot for exploring the National Park, but also close enough to Cruz Bay for dinners out. You definitely want a jeep, as the roads are steep and curvy! Denise and David made us feel totally at home, meeting us at the ferry, driving us to the jeep rental, leading us to a grocery store and then guiding us to the house after a long day of travel. Thank you Denise and David, we hope to be back!

Best things
Eating out on the deck was bug-free, likely thanks to all the frogs chirping (and eating!) in the nearby trees. Looking out on the water, feeling the warm breeze, was fabulous! Also, comfortable bed and great shower.

Tropical Wonderfulness
Following a warm welcome to the island and a review of the property by David, we quickly realized how tremendous this property was. The views from the private patio are spectacular. We took advantage of the direct access to the scenic secluded beach daily. Speaking of beaches, the Peters Bay location provided a great jumping off point for all the beautiful northern beaches. The unit itself was nicely appointed and provided the privacy we were looking for. We plan to be back!!

We stayed for a week and had an amazing time. David met us at the ferry dock, drove us to pick up the Jeep, let us follow him to the grocery store and then escorted us to the house. The views are outstanding! Loved drinking coffee out on the patio each morning. The private beach is a short walk away and gorgeous!!!

Little Slice of Heaven
This was by far one of our favorite vacations! I would go as far as saying that the description is inaccurate because it doesn't capture the beauty and peacefulness that this property offers! It was so wonderful being able to take a 2-3 minute walk down to the beach each morning and have it completely to ourselves. We enjoyed exploring Cruz Bay and had no trouble getting open air taxis to do so. David and Denise were absolutely amazing and we can't wait to book our next trip here!

A Week In Paradise
The wife and I had an excellent week in paradise at this home. We loved the accommodations and the location and views are spectacular. The private white sand beach is really nice and we used it when we were there. We came and went everyday as we explored the entire island and other beaches. We never had a bad meal at any restaurant on the island but they can get pricey so having the ability to cook at the house would be a great way to save money and not hassle with reservations and parking in Cruz Bay. Our hosts, the owners of the house, were great! We hope to come back soon.

Can’t Wait To Stay Here Again!
I normally do not stay at a property more than once, unless it is special- and the suite is very special! Denise and David were wonderful hosts. The suite is very clean and comfortable, has the best views on the island, and we loved spending time on the stunning beach, just a short walk down the path. Thank you again for everything, Denise- until next year!

Heaven on Earth
First, I’ll start by saying the only thing we did wrong on our trip was not stay longer! (So our next trip, which we’ve already booked, we are doing just that). Our stay was truly our own definition of what a vacation should be: one-of-a-kind views, a private beach to lounge on your own private beach chairs, heavenly breezes from the porch and bedroom, a well-furnished kitchen to cook (and grill) all of our meals, and the perfect hosts — David and Denise. Being in the heart of the national park we had deer visiting us around the property daily, and we also saw wild donkeys on the road to the house. I could go on and on but it would be impossible to describe how relaxing Suite on the Beach is — you just have to see for yourself. A few notes: As previous reviewers stated, the walk down to the beach is short but very steep and would be difficult for those that are mobility-impaired. Otherwise, it’s great exercise for those legs! Also, I highly recommend renting a jeep so you can travel freely around the island when you want (driving is on the left). We rented from Conrad Sutton on the recommendation of others and would do so again as you can park in Cruz Bay for free when you visit town. All in all, this was by far our favorite vacation to date and we can’t wait to go back!

Hard to get access to Peter’s Bay. Nice private setting with a very short walk to the beach. Denise very responsive and helpful. Easy access to all the north side beaches. Perfect for someone looking for a quiet get away. 10+ minutes to town.

Beautiful Peter Bay!
The hosts are fantastic and will answer any questions you have any time you text them from the VRBO app. The view is outstanding. You'll be about 10 minutes from Cruz Bay and 17 or so from Coral Bay. You will see a great deal of the hired boat captains bringing their paying passengers just to take a look at this bay. Excellent spot! 3 minutes from Trunk Bay, 5 minutes to Maho Bay. Really a great location.
