Welcome to Stay Salty, a thoughtfully designed Caribbean retreat where ocean views, island breezes, and indoor-outdoor living come together for a relaxing St. John escape. Whether you're celebrating a honeymoon, enjoying a couples getaway, traveling with family, or simply slowing down for a week in paradise, you'll find everything you need to settle in and enjoy the island at your own pace.

OVERVIEW
Tucked within the quiet five-unit Conch Villas community, Stay Salty is a spacious one-bedroom retreat that is ideal for two guests but can comfortably accommodate up to five with two sleeper sofas. The open floor plan flows naturally from the fully equipped kitchen into the living room and out to the expansive screened porch. Four oversized Brazilian hardwood double doors open wide to blur the line between indoors and out, filing the home with natural light, tropical breezes, and sweeping ocean views. It's the feature guests remember long after they've returned home.
LIVING ROOM
After a day exploring St. John, the inviting living room is the perfect place to relax. Enjoy comfortable seating, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a smart TV with Roku Guest Mode, or simply open all four hardwood doors and let the island breeze become part of the room. The seamless connection to the screened porch creates one expansive living space that captures the easygoing rhythm of the Caribbean.
KITCHEN
The thoughtfully equipped kitchen includes a four-burner stove, apartment-size oven, full refrigerator, microwave, blender, coffee maker and all the cookware and utensils you'll need. It's perfect to prepare everything from a quick breakfast before the beach to a fresh seafood dinner after a day of snorkeling. The open design keeps everyone connected while enjoying the beautiful ocean views.
DINING AREA
The dining area is located beside the kitchen as part of the open-concept layout, making it easy to cook, dine, and spend time together. A high-top table seats four, with two stools at the kitchen counter for casual seating. It's a comfortable spot for breakfast before heading to the beach, enjoying takeout from Cruz Bay, or lingering over a cup of coffee.

The peaceful bedroom features a comfortable queen bed with a bamboo pillow-top mattress, quality linens, extra pillows, generous storage, and a Roman shade with blackout lining for restful nights after days spent soaking up the sun.
BATHROOM
The bathroom includes a corner walk-in shower, soft towels, a hair dryer, and complimentary starter toiletries to help you settle in comfortably.

The oversized screened porch is truly the heart of Stay Salty. Two porch swings, comfortable lounge seating, and convenient side tables create the perfect place to sip your morning coffee, read a book in the afternoon shade or unwind with your favorite drink while watching the changing colors of the Caribbean Sea. With all four Brazilian hardwood doors fully opened, the porch becomes a natural extension of the living room, creating the indoor-outdoor lifestyle that makes St. John so unforgettable.

THE STAY SALTY EXPERIENCE
Some of the best moments on St. John aren't found on an itinerary. They're watching the morning light dance across the Caribbean, returning from a day at the beach to throw open the hardwood doors and let the trade winds drift through the home, or relaxing on the porch swings as the sky slowly changes from brilliant blue to a blanket of stars. Stay Salty was created for those simple moments, blending the comforts of home with the laid-back island lifestyle that keeps guests coming back year after year.

About the host
Hosted by Emily McNally
Hi! I fell in love with St. John on a visit, and created Stay Salty as a comfortable, relaxed home base for enjoying the island.
Whether you're here for the beaches, snorkeling, hiking, or simply slowing down, my goal is for you to feel welcome and at ease.
I'm happy to share local tips, favorite beaches, and island recommendations to help make your stay extra special.
Why they chose this property
We choose this neighborhood because it offers the best of both worlds: a quiet, peaceful setting with the convenience of being walkable to downtown Cruz Bay. Stay Salty is tucked into a calm pocket of Conch Villas, a small community with only five units, so it feels relaxed and uncrowded.
Guests love being able to walk to restaurants, shops, and the ferry, then come home to a quieter place to unwind after a day of exploring beaches and snorkeling. It's the perfect balance of close to everything without feeling busy.
What makes this property unique
Stay Salty has a warm Caribbean feel with beautiful Brazilian hardwood throughout, giving the space a cozy, natural island vibe. It's thoughtfully decorated to feel like a true retreat rather than a generic rental.
One of the guests' favorite features is the porch with the hanging swings. It's the perfect spot for morning coffee, post-beach lounging, or winding down in the evening with the island breeze drifting through. The combination of charming details, comfortable design, and peaceful outdoor space makes Stay Salty feel a little hideaway above Cruz Bay.
