Old St. John is still found in one place, Catherineberg. Island Stones is quaint and full of genuine artifacts yet is the most luxurious villa on this prized North Shore location. Located right in the middle of St. John's Virgin Islands National Park, the quiet sounds of birds, surf, and gentle breeze will lure into a sense of great relaxations. Views over Cinnamon and Maho Bay to Jost Van Dyke and Tortola are famous world over. The well traveled agree there may be no better views on earth and Island Stones views are the best on St. John.

From the sun drenched over sized pool deck and fabulous all glass tile infinity pool, to the amazing array of amenities and comforts, Island Stones is truly a special place to be remembered for a lifetime. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with the best appliances money can buy.

The huge game room with pool table, dart board, TV with X-Box, and bar is just a sampling of what is in store for you at Island Stones Large screen high definition TV. 8' slate pool table. Foosball. X-Box and Dart board. Bay skylight looking thru the sun shelf pool. Beautiful tumbled travertine tile floor. And more.

Additionally, Island Stones features a rooftop expanse of state of the art fitness equiptment. Sounds and sights of the island's diverse wildlife make this outdoor exercising experience unique and unforgettable.

Perfect

I don't even know where to start. Communication with owners and Nellie was simply outstanding. Location cannot be beat.....Villa has everything you could need. Pool was outstanding, rooms were comfortable, kitchen was stocked, ample parking, outdoor area was comfortable. Villa faces north giving both amazing views and no sun-in-your-face afternoons. Already planning 2 weeks for next year at same location. To the nay-sayers that complain about bugs, roads, etc.......It's a jungle, what do you expect? If you don't want any of that, go to Cayman or Nassau

Another Great Stay at Island Stones

This was our second time staying at Island Stones. We had a group of 8 consisting of friends and family with two teenagers. The view at Island Stones is unbeatable in our opinion. The villa is sprawling and spacious. Lots of space with an exceptional pool area. Very close to all of the North Shore beaches. I have vacationed on St. John for many years and this is my favorite villa based on privacy, view and location.

Stunning

Absolutely stunning property and views! The pictures don’t do it justice, seeing it in person is, as stated, “stunning”. We took this trip with longtime friends and had planned it for about a year and it did not disappoint! All the rooms having their own outdoor showers was an added plus! The pool and pool bar was our favorite spot after a few hours at the beach coming back to relax and hang out there was an every day choice. We had a few water issues while there but Nellie and Colby were great to work with and fixed the issues. I would highly recommend the property and hope to have a chance to return!

Unbelievable Views

Island Stones was a beautiful property that fit our needs. From the moment you drive up the driveway and see the property sign and stone work, you know it’s going to be amazing. The pool was awesome to spend time in on lazy afternoons after coming back from the beach. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes and appliances and bedrooms all had their own bathrooms, which is good when you are traveling with friends. We had so much fun at island Stones and will miss waking up to that view every morning!

Wow! Incredible view and location

Amazing property, incredible views. And let’s open with location… close to the beaches, a 12 minute drive to Cruz Bay, and even s decently close drive to east end. The pool view looking out over Cinnamon was amazing. Bedrooms are well furnished. We just lived everything about our stay! Thanks, John, for taking care of us!

Great house with tons of privacy even if you have a large group since it is so spread out. Pool deck and view is unreal. Highly recommend. About 5 mins from Cinnamon Bay which in my opinion is the best beach on the island.

Fantastic Views!

This property is fantastic and suited our group perfectly. We stayed here for a week with all of our adult children. We had 8 people total and it slept everyone very comfortably. When we weren't on the gorgeous beaches, a lot of time was spent having cocktails in the pool and enjoying the view overlooking Tortola. The location has easy access to the numerous beaches and hiking trails on the island. A jeep rental is highly recommended so you can explore the whole island. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils, pots, pans, etc. There is AC in each room which kept us comfortable at night. Another perk is the whole house sound system that easily connects to your phone via bluetooth. Overall, we highly recommend this property. We made many new memories with our family!

If the pool was all you needed

The pool was amazing, the deck, the view, the location were all incredible. The owner bought a high chair and baby gates for us and for the property, which was super awesome. We used both daily and were very appreciative. Other guests will also be grateful I know. And if that’s all that mattered this property would be 5 stars. But unfortunately we did need more than the above and this property just wasn’t what we are used to for the $$$$/night. It is very outdated, dark, and dank. The beds were so uncomfortable: so hot (memory foam), & WAY to soft. I would lie awake and count hours until I could reasonably wake up. And I am a very easy going person, but I was literally miserable. And we had to kill 2 tarantulas in the house, and countless jumping spiders…we are all for enjoying wildlife (which is abundant surrounding the property), including creepy crawlies outside, but seeing gigantic spiders in your bedroom and bathroom was more than we could enjoy. If you were traveling with enough couples to occupy every bedroom at this property it would be very reasonably priced and the pool and location and coolers, chairs, etc that are provided would be super awesome and I think would make this property a total winner. But for our family, occupying literally 2 bedrooms in the main house only…with all the issues I’ve mentioned it was just too expensive for what it is. We are used to swankier accommodations at that price/night.

Absolutely Amazing!

Our group of 8 seniors loved this property! The views were spectacular from every room (especially the pool). The was plenty of space to be together but also lots of areas for private time. The property manager was very responsive to our needs. A good tip is to rent a jeep to make it easier to get the house and around St. John.

What a view!!

We absolutely loved Island Stones! From the fabulous communication and coordination with the grocery delivery and the friendly and on top of it greeter, Kat, the check-in process was very smooth. The property does not disappoint. The pool is just as shown in the pictures with a great bar and outdoor sound system. There were only 4 of us so we tried out multiple rooms in the house and all the beds were comfortable. The fabulous outdoor shower for each bedroom is unique. The kitchen is very well-appointed. We never used the game room but could tell that with a larger crowd, particularly if children were in the group, having that separate hang-out space would be great. We all had such a great week on St. John and cannot wait to return!!

Why they chose this property

While St John has always been our favorite place on earth, by far Catherineberg is the nicest location on all of St John. There are few prized parcels in this coveted location and you hardly know there is another property around. Located right in the middle of St John's north shore National Park, the views are some of the best on the planet. The convenience to the north shore beaches yet close to town is another factor in our choosing this location. The feel of Old St John with the nearby Catherineberg ruins adds a special uniqueness.
