About this property

Stunning Views, Peaceful Location, Large Pool & Minutes from Cruz Bay

A fantastic home for families or multiple couples to enjoy peace and tranquility, with stunning ocean views, a large pool, and the convenience of Cruz Bay only minutes away. Terrapin Station (formerly known as Stella Bella) underwent a major renovation in 2020 that included an all-new kitchen, master bath, guest suite, AC systems and furnishings. The property retains the charms of old St. John while providing the modern conveniences you expect in a vacation home.

The upstairs has an open floor plan with amazing views. The chef-worthy kitchen sits just above a sunken living and dining area, allowing everyone to gather during meal time and social hour - or to watch a game on the 60” screen. Outside the living room is an expansive deck that overlooks Chocolate Hole and Hart Bay, with St Thomas to the west and St Croix to the south.

Adjoining the living area are two equal-sized primary suites. Each suite has its own private bath and large covered screened-n porch. Both bedrooms are over 350 sf and feature new king-size beds plus a separate day bed for napping…or keeping little ones close by.

The other two bedrooms are downstairs. Both are mini-apartments with private baths, kitchenettes and separate entrances – perfect for in-laws or outlaws who need privacy. Bedroom #3 is set up like a two-room hotel suite, with a king-size bed in one room and space for a full size air mattress in the separate living area. Bedroom #4 is an efficiency configuration, with a queen-size bed and a full kitchen. The views are essentially identical from all four of the villa’s bedrooms.

There are other great features throughout the house. For starters, 100% of the living area is air conditioned, which isn’t typical on St John. Terrapin Station has one of the island’s larger pools – and it’s private enough for skinny-dipping! If cooking is your thing, the well-appointed kitchen, two refrigerators and an outdoor grill will make your week. Fast internet service, a brand new laundry room, Tesla Power Walls to keep the lights on during a power outage, and parking for 3+ vehicles makes this a great place to call your island home.

It was a pretty house. Comfy beds, and stocked kitchen. Beautiful views!The driveway is steep and the roads getting you back are tight. It was a little farther away from Cruz Bay than we had planned. But we had a great time!!

This property is beautiful! We had a few hiccups with a few things but overall a great stay. The properly manage was very responsive on text and the house is well stocked. You definitely need a four wheel drive vehicle here. We had an AWD vehicle for the first few days and had to change (due to the rental car company) and got a 4x4 and it was so much easier. We would definitely stay here again!

Spring break

The property was centrally located to Cruz Bay and we had easy access to all points of interest. A Jeep is a must have. The views were unparalleled and for our son’s final high school spring break we could not have picked a better place.

Perfect for families with in laws!

The house was beautiful and clean, gorgeous view. Loved the two separate efficiency apartments for the in laws. We could all hang out but also retreat back to our separate parts of the house at the end of the day. Short drive to down. Great place.

We had a great time at Terrapin Station.It was perfect for our family of 4 plus 2 friends.Katja was an awesome host. She was very responsive and helpful with all our questions. Kitchen was great. It has all you need. There is even an extra refrigerator, which was helpful for all our beverages. The beds were extremely comfortable and had great views with great AC in the bedrooms.We loved that they had beach chairs and floats for us to take to the different beaches around the island. Highly recommend this house.

Amazing stay!!

Our group of 8 had the most amazing stay!! All of us parents enjoyed a vacation without kids. The house made our trip so easy having everything we needed and more. The location was perfect too being so close to Cruz Bay and so secluded. And the pool!!! It was so fun to enjoy day and night!! We highly recommend this house!

Nice view

Really enjoyed staying at this house. Great location and views. One thing to consider is the downstairs rooms are like apartments. Our kids did not want to stay there so it was great that each upstairs rooms had day beds and the couch was extremely comfortable.

Overall nice

Location is great! This is the 3rd property we’ve stayed in on STJ, and while it was definitely adequate for our getaway purposes in every way, it’s been our least favorite due to layout mostly. Wouldn’t recommend for family with young children; there are many stairs on this property and access to the pool is not easy.

Great Villa!

We had a great trip over Thanksgiving with adults and college age kids. This villa is convenient to town, grocery stores and beaches. Plenty of room for our family to spread out, plus the pool was excellent place to watch amazing sunsets to cap the day. The villa is well equipped in Kitchen to cook in a few meals. The driveway takes a bit to get used to, however, not bad once you get the top hill turn around down. Would absolutely stay here again! David and Julie were very attentive and great host.

Excellent Stay!

We just had this most wonderful week at the villa! Views were amazing and the location was convenient! It was the perfect layout for our two families of four. We have four teenagers between the two families and there was great room for everyone to spread out. The property managers were very helpful and answered any questions we had immediately. I can’t say enough about how wonderful our week was! Waking up this morning wishing we were still there!
