This was our second stay at Sunflower, and we loved every moment. The views are amazing, and the location is perfect. It's just a 5-minute drive to Red Hook and a hilly walk to Secret Harbor. Joanie is a wonderful host and went above and beyond by letting us borrow her air compressor (and portable one!) when our rental car had a faulty tire. Having owners on-site who truly live in and know the area makes such a difference. We can’t wait to come back!

Best view ever!

We could have lived on that balcony! The place was wonderful and so was Joanie! We enjoyed are daily walk down the hill to Secret Harbour and loved eating at Sunset Grill for breakfast or dinner. They have paddle boards, or kayaks to rent there and the snorkeling was amazing! Make sure you take the ferry to St John! Will definitely recommend this spot to my friends!

Unforgettable!!! We love Stonehouse!!

We loved our stay at Stonehouse so much!! The pictures do not do this place justice. The view was breathtaking! Perfect location and a safe neighborhood. The walk to the beach was very nice. Joanie and Robert were so sweet and very good at communicating with us during our entire trip. The bed was very comfortable and the AC in the house was very nice. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our honeymoon and we are looking forward to returning to this location again one day!

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.

Joanie and Robert were amazing hosts. They even offered to drive us to the local market to pick up supplies if we didn’t rent a car. The balcony view of the Caribbean is spectacular. The location is just minutes from Red Hook/ferry docks with many shops and restaurants. I would recommend Renting a car from Country auto rental to explore the island. We would definitely stay here again.

The condo was perfect for our honeymoon! You couldn't ask for a better location- close to beaches, Red Hook and the ferry to St. John! They have plenty of resources for things to do, maps and tourist information! Joanie was so accommodating, she even let us use their vacuum for our rental car!! I definitely recommend this wonderful place to any couple looking for a beautiful view & great location!!

Wonderful views near a good swimming bay.

A clean apartment with sufficient appointments for our needs. These included plenty of towels for beach or home and a kitchen that functioned well. The porch is a delight and feels like a direct overlook on the ocean with no obstructions to the view. The nearby grocery store, car ferry, and swimming beach were quite nice. We used the snorkeling gear all week.

Beautiful views!!

Great place to stay and walking distance to Secret Harbour, which has a great bar/restaurant. Easy walk down, not as easy to walk back up the hill but we did to save on taxis. Beautiful relaxing balcony with amazing views. We were welcomed with open arms and Joanie even took us to the grocery store when we got there which was very nice! Very private and calm area but just a few minute taxi ride away to red hook. Also loved that we could come and go as we please with private entrance without disturbing the homeowners. Highly recommend

Perfect stay!

My husband and I loved our stay at Joan’s! She was extremely helpful and communicative, made it easy for us to help the taxi drivers find the property, and even (very kindly!) took us to get some groceries on our first night. The property itself is lovely, the views are out of control. Also the location is great - a 8 min walk to Secret Harbour, which was a perfectly calm beach with a great bar and restaurant. Also very quick to Red Hook Harbor so that we could easily hop on the ferry to St. John. 11/10!!!

Such a beautiful and peaceful location this was!!! Joanie was an amazing host who communicated with me throughout the entire trip. She went above and beyond to make sure the stay was pleasant and that view!!!!!! Oh my goodness…I could not have had a better time if I tried. The location is a walk away from Sunset Grille and Secret Cove beach and very quiet but close to everything with a quick call to one of the island taxi services. The apartment was perfect and cozy for a couple or even a few friends. You will NOT be disappointed booking with her.

Our stay here was absolutely amazing. From the moment we got to St.Thomas Joanie made sure we knew the neighborhood and that we had what we needed by taking us to the grocery store and around the neighborhood. The Sun Flower studio was amazing. The view is breathtaking and you feel right at home. Throughout our stay Joanie checked in on us to make sure we were doing okay.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and we loved it. Joanie and her husband are very friendly and helpful. They left a detailed binder with instructions, places to go and services she recommended. She was easy to get a hold of and even provided beach gear! We were only a few minutes from everything in town. The place was easy to get to but still private and secluded which was what we liked about it. We will definitely stay again when we come back with our family. :)

We had such a wonderful time at this property. Joanie was great. She met us when we got there and gave us a ride to the grocery store. The view is the best view at any place I've ever stayed. The secret Harbour beach ,which is a 10 minute walk, is so pretty. Great snorkeling and not very busy. Sunset bar and grill has good food at reasonable prices and a beautiful view while eating. If you walk back from secret Harbour, it's straight up but it's doable and helps with the guilt of eating too much. I would definitely recommend this property. So beautiful and quiet.

Perfect honeymoon getaway!

Sunflower was perfect; nice and cozy. The view was phenomenal! We didn't get a chance to spend time on the hammock. We were trying to avoid mosquitoes. Overall, location, location, location. Within minutes of Red Hook and Secret Harbor Beach. Tons of restaurants. We also went to the grocery store and ate in a couple of times. Everything you need as far as kitchen utensils and cookware. We also rented a car to make things easier. Thank you Joanie and Robert for letting us stay at your beautiful property. We will be visiting again soon!
