About this property

Beautiful - Private - Romantic - Waterfront - Escape

Stoney Bay Beach House is a one bedroom, one bath masonry house with a 60 foot long covered gallery, located in privateer bay estates nestled on it's own private beach. The house is close to the ocean and facing directly east taking advantage of the trade winds to keep the house nice and cool, and is one of the least" buggiest" locations on St John. The house is the only one in Stony Bay, part of Privateer Bay, so the only neighbors you will be able to see will be on the BVI,s!
You will have no noise from cars, trucks, construction, dogs, roosters or people from this incredible location.
The living room/dining room has beautiful soaring 18' cypress ceilings, with comfortable upscale furniture. You can enjoy watching the sunrise over Norman Island (aka Treasure Island) and the Caribbean sea from the comfort of your pillow top bed. The gallery is very close to the water and has a hammock , lounge chairs, Adirondack chairs and a table with 4 chairs for outdoor dining. The kitchen has all the amenities including a dishwasher and front loading washer and dryer. There is a coral reef right in front of the house to Privateer Bay for endless underwater exploring.
If privacy, seclusion and nature are what your looking for this location is like no other.
A 4wd is necessary for this house and many places on STJ. A 2dr 4wd jeep is best and renting on STJ is recommended because if there is a issue with a vehicle help will be nearby. ATT is the best cell service in most locations.

The setting is amazing. The sound of waves was the background noise of our stay; very relaxing. The property manager was helpful when there was a (fairly brief) power outage on the islands. We spent a lot of time on the deck, soaking up the breeze and the beauty of the views.

Amazing secular location for nature lovers. Beautiful snoring reefs off the private beach. Goats and iguanas accompanied us at the gorgeous sunrises. Excellent experience. Requires 4-wheel driving to the closest store in Coral Bay.

We had a wonderful stay! The home is peaceful and secluded—exactly what we were looking for. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the porch, accompanied by our friendly gecko visitor, and watching goats wander along the hillside.
Absolutely stunning at night!

We have stayed at this property several times and it never disappoints! Incredible views from the porch and beach! Snorkeling is excellent on calm days. The driveway is a challenge but also fun in a 4wheel drive jeep. We will definitely be back

Great home. The beach was pretty rocky and unfortunately that part of the ocean was mostly waves and seaweed when we were there in late September.Unfortunately, there was no water when we got there and we had to move to a different house for a night. That was very inconvenient. But, Whitni, the property manager was communicative and helped out the best she could given the circumstances.The home is at the east end of the island. It was a very nice home and wonderfully private. But if we went to st john again we would probably get something a little less far from things.St john itself is beautiful, but also lacks many easy resources if things go wrong.

Truly an amazing property. We very much appreciate staying here. The view and location are unbelievable. Spending time on the deck is wonderful. They had family games and DVD's etc for evenings after the sun goes down. And there's a wonderful snorkel beach 6min away (Hansen beach). Enjoy!

Amazing site

What a spectacular location. We have stayed in some pretty amazing places before, Hawaii, Tulum, St. Croix, etc. but this one tops them all. You do have to work for it, the drive in is precarious but beautiful as well but once you arrive it’s an unbeatable opportunity to relax and enjoy.
