Gorgeous View, Beach Access, Swimming Pool, Kayak, Quiet Privacy - the East End
Want to get away from it all? Spend some days at a retreat away from it all?The East End of St. John is that special place to do it!
Come enjoy what Long Bay Getaway Retreat has in store for you, your special someone, and your whole family!
This lovely cottage retreat is nestled on the quiet and uncrowded East End of St. John in the Privateer Bay community. We invite couples seeking a private, natural, relaxing location with space to stretch out, small families looking for a safe and wild home base with easy private beach access, or two couples (or small group of friends) looking to share the fun and the cost (deals for 7 day stays or monthly). This 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom cottage (+ fun outdoor shower) has everything you need to get lost in your vacation away from any busy-ness. Long Bay Getaway Retreat has everything for you: a nicely stocked kitchen, air conditioned bedrooms, comfortable furnishings, an intimate and colorfully night-lit private pool, fast internet, lovely native fruit trees and plants, abundant wildlife, and the unending peace you need to enjoy a planned or unplanned retreat. We even have an acoustic guitar to learn or play your favorite accompanying music! With few neighbors except the animals, the East End is yours for a private, quiet retreat to unwind and get away from every worry.
If you choose to leave this beautiful home and explore St. John, you are still less than a half hour drive from the famous North side beaches including Trunk Bay, Maho Bay, Cinnamon Bay, and Hawksnest Beach. Or you can stay and relax at one of the secret top beaches near us, including Hansen Bay. As a guest at Long Bay Getaway, you also have private access to the secluded beach at Long Bay which is 500 steps from our property. The snorkeling is superb (turtles, fish, squid, Pelican Rock, etc) and we have our nice kayak down by the water for your personal use - just carry our paddle down and bring it back up.
There are wonderful old St. John type island amenities near the property, including Sloop Jones' shop just three houses away for one-of-a-kind clothing and art and the local East End families at Hansen Bay and nearby beaches. The East End is the "other side" of St. John - quiet, natural, private, incredible sunsets by the pool, yoga on the pool deck, grilling on the upper deck, and deep star gazing in the natural dark of this secluded retreat area.
If you prefer natural peace and solitude, you will love this part of the island! Long Bay Getaway is designed to be a retreat type space on this special, magic part of the island and our owner family can help you plan an actual retreat experience with music, movement, spiritual engagement, or vigorous healthy activity. Or just come and live here on this part of the island for a larger number of days with our reasonable pricing and long stay deals.
We stay personally throughout the year and have amazing staff and friends doing retreats all the time - join the Long Bay Getaway Retreat community!

About the host
Hosted by Ken Steorts
Hi, Ken here to help you enjoy your stay! I am available to respond to your needs. We are a family of four with two grown boys and we're from Memphis, Tennessee. We also travel our fifth family member, Joy's brother Isaac. Three of us are musicians and we all love Memphis music - classic soul, blues, rock, and folk music. We're educators, social workers, servers, and event people, but on St. John, we're beachy and hikey and divey - we LOVE nature!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this home when we stayed here a few years ago and have made it our special place - quiet, secluded, adventurous, yet still easily accessible, our family loves Long Bay Getaway for the calming pool, amazing views, dark nights, nice grill, musical instruments, large decks, outdoor dining, and just sweeping views of greater Coral Bay.
What makes this property unique
Hanging on the side of the pool watching the sun set in the west mountains, dining on the deck as the sun rises across the mountain behind us, the jeep drive out to the East End complete with deer, donkeys, and goats (they make us laugh), all make Long Bay Getaway particularly relaxing - away from everything yet easy to just go into town too.
You will also enjoy meeting "Chippie" the Pearl-Eyed Thrasher who just wants a bite of your snack.
