About this property

Seaside St John Villa - Amazing View, Amazing Pool & 2 min walk to Private Beach

Enjoy you own private beach or swim under the pool’s waterfall into a cozy covered grotto to relax on one of the many seats or swim under a second waterfall to a secluded outside pool sitting area and enjoy the amazing view. The kids will have the rest of the large pool to themselves. These distinct separate areas allow plenty of room for everyone to enjoy different water activities.

Seaside St. John is a Luxury Mediterranean style villa with 5 bedrooms and 5.5  bathrooms. The entrance to the is villa through a lush tropical courtyard. The property has been terraced and landscaped with local and exotic plants to preserve the real feeling of St.John.

As you enter the main living area you see the expanse of our Bay and its coral reef against the backdrop of Drakes Passage and the island of Tortola through huge custom made mahogany sliding doors. Mahogany is used throughout the villa mixed with Egyptian stone floors, granite and marble countertops, and other unique stones.

The main living area has a plenty of seating and a dining table that seats 10 and can be expanded to seat 12. There is an additional covered outside dining area complete with barbecue grill and a pass through to the kitchen. A sitting area connects the main living area to the upper level master suite. There are huge outside decks for the sun worshipers and covered decks with overstuffed sofas and chairs for those who love the shade off the main living area.  Turtles can often be spotted from one of these many  decks and Pelicans are frequently seen diving for food.

Seaside St John has 4 unique master bedroom suites plus a kids bedroom with a 55” TV and full over full bunk bed. One bedroom is off the pool deck, a romantic Canopy bed graces another, the third bedroom has an outside garden shower and a fold out sofa bed in a separate sitting area and the upstairs bedroom has an outside garden shower and a screened in porch. All 4 master suites have either a deck or a porch and sensational views.

The lounge/media room has a 65" TV.  It is directly off the pool deck and connects to the outside bar through a kitchenette which has an ice maker, microwave and full size refrigerator.

Your pool has a large soaking tub, with an area for swimmers, seats for cooling off while sipping your drinks and a private “ cave” as well as a secluded open air grotto overlooking a garden and the beautiful bay. There are lounge chairs for sunning and a shaded sitting area in the Portico with overstuffed cushions. The pool bar is spacious and has an imported marble top. Conveniently located directly off the pool deck is a full bathroom with shower, dressing area and towel storage.

Wide stairs from the pool deck take you down to a path to your private beach. At the top of the stairs there is an outside hand held shower for rinsing off your snorkeling or diving equipment. The beach has a small sandy area above the waterline, and an open area with picnic table, and lounge chairs. Seaside St John is located on Haulover Bay North which is well known  as the best snorkeling site on St John with just a short swim away you can discover incredible underwater structures, corals, and fish in 4′ to 20′ of water. Sting rays, turtles and occasionally lobster can be seen. We provide 2 stand up paddle boards, a kayak and snorkeling equipment.

If you do feel the need to leave your villa then Coral Bay is nearby with its stores and restaurants and the famous North Shore beaches are 15 minutes away. The rest of the island, the national park with its hiking trails and interesting plantation ruins are all close by. Best of all once you have experienced the rest of St.John you will be to be able to return to your own private beach estate.

Private with amazing view

Seaside St. John is an amazing property. We loved that it was private with incredible views and direct access to some of the best snorkeling on the island. Michael our host was very responsive to our questions and worked hard to address any issues. The house was very well equipped and had plenty of room for our family including teenagers

Lovely villa in ideal location

Our group of longtime friends (two families of four) absolutely loved staying here. Everything was top-notch, from the comfy furniture to the well-stocked kitchen to the idyllic outdoor showers. The pool was great, but the real attraction for us was having access to our own private beach and cove for swimming and snorkeling—what a treat! Views of the turquoise-blue waters never got old, and the gardens were gorgeous too. Michael, the host, was super responsive and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and hope to return someday!

Best of St John

We have spent 20 years traveling to St John and this was the most amazing house and location to date! You literally don't need to leave the premises to thoroughly enjoy yourselves. There were 8 of us from 21-60 and we ALL agreed. If you do choose to leave the grounds (which we did) your are in close proximity to a great beach in Hanson Bay and fantastic snorkeling in Haulover Bay. Michael is great and made things really easy for us. He is responsive and always accessible. Can't recommend this place more highly. The pictures accurately reflect the house, but can't possibly capture the spectacular views. 10 out of 10!

Family in paradise

Our goal was to see as much of St John as possible. However, with such a beautiful house, amazing pool and perfect snorkeling beach we found it difficult to leave the property. Such a beautiful spot, such a wonderful vacation.

Beautiful property on North Haulover Bay

Stunning views & a private beach add to the elegance of this property. We spent 2 glorious weeks there and enjoyed every minute. The roads on Saint John are narrow and winding and the driveway is very steep but it is worth the trip!

Fantastic spot for family to relax

Our goal was to stay put this vacation....beach and pool. We accomplished that in grand style. Michael was a great help. My only suggestion to future guests is get a Jeep, not an all wheel drive car. We could barely get out of the driveway! Super, super steep.

Perfect Location/House w Beach Access

This was our 6th trip to St. John and our first time staying on the East end. We were amazed by the beautiful home, stunning views and absolutely loved having a beach that was a two minute walk from the house. Michael was by far the best property manager we have dealt with. He was kind and helpful whenever we had questions prior to and while we were there. We loved having our own little beach to snorkel, paddle board and relax at. If you stay here you don't need to bring much as the house comes with almost everything you need to enjoy your time at St. John- chairs, coolers, snorkel gear, floats etc. When we booked I was nervous about staying so far from Cruz Bay but our family loved the quiet and peaceful East End. Coral Bay has plenty of food options and you are close to both the North and South beaches from this house. We can't wait to come back! The Yoho Family

Fabulous Family Vacation

This was my first experience with a VRBO property and it couldn’t have been more positive. The property manager, Michael, was easy to work with, and very accommodating. The property itself was stunning! The 6 grandkids (all under 10) loved the pool with its waterfalls and grotto, and would have never come out if we hadn’t made them. Having access to Haulover Bay directly from the property meant some of the adults could snorkel while others stayed either the kids in the pool. The snorkeling was great! We basically had our own private coral reef and we saw multiple sea turtles every day. The villa gave us plenty of room for our group of 13 people and we could easily have just stayed on property all week and been content (but we did charter a catamaran one day and went hiking another). The property is located at the far east end of the island so make sure you have 4-wheel drive vehicles and realize it’s not convenient to go to Cruz Bay every day. We were looking for an isolated retreat, so it was perfect for us. The fact that we brought along a private chef made the experience even more fabulous.

Excellent Family House

Our family (8 adults, 1 toddler) stayed here over Thanksgiving 2023 and had a wonderful stay. Views are phenomenal; nice private bay / water access for paddle boarding / snorkeling. Outdoor living spaces are incredible; fabulous pool with lots of seating; 2 outdoor bars / grilling areas. Inside is spacious and bright / well lit with great views. We were first timers to St. John and a bit concerned on the location, but it is not an issue. You can stay at the home and be very comfortable, but easy access (about 10 minutes) to Coral Bay. The most popular beaches are 20 / 25 minute ride (we learned quickly that you have to drive to most everything in St. John). But, there is a very nice local beach only about 5 minutes away as well. We are an active family - did lots of hiking, snorkeling, swimming. Some of the best snorkeling was right in our bay at the house or at the nearby beach. Most importantly, we can't say enough about the host. Michael was extremely helpful from the time we booked until the time we left. He had great suggestions for traveling in, buying food, local restaurants, etc. That sounds minor, but for our family (4 adult couples and one toddler) traveling from 3 different locatilites, it was extremely helpful.

Stunning views and thoughtfully provisioned

The best things about this lovely property for our group were the absolutely stunning views over the water and access to North Haulover for water sports with the provided kayaks, paddle boards and snorkeling gear. It is spacious and thoughtfully provisioned — so many towels for bath, pool and beach! Our littles loved the books, games and toys. We used the gas grills nearly every evening. And we appreciated the two fridges and the ice maker. Things to be aware of: - WiFi was out more than not, and on this side of the island cell phones pick up towers in the BVI so an international plan is required and even then service is unpredictable. This didn’t present an urgent issue for our group on this trip over Christmas break, but we’d factor it in if staying during a busier work season. Streaming wasn’t an option for us. - the beautiful drive from the more populated side of the island takes a good thirty minutes and can be harrowing. Would not consider without a Jeep. We only made the drive twice after dark and that was enough for us! As others have noted, the property has so much to offer that we didn’t mind staying in most of the evenings, and we explored during the days. - the fifth bedroom suite is accessed from the outdoor pool area and doesn’t open to the rest of the house which could be a plus for a couple or a negative for a family with lots of kids. It’s a great space for a large group and the hosts were wonderful.

A wonderful and memorable stay!

Seaside St. John/Estate Hansen Bay was even more beautiful than the photos. Each bedroom was lovely and private. The pool was fabulous, the views stunning. Great snorkeling and fun with paddle boards and kayaks just down the path. The property manager, Michael, was welcoming, helpful, and fun! A fabulous place to gather with family.

Spring break escape

We had an excellent stay at Seaside St John! 7 adults and 5 kids with plenty of room for everyone. Personalized Check-In, great response when we had a few minor things come up, and lots of recommendations. The property itself was beautiful and had stunning views, and came stocked with beach amenities like towels and chairs, and lots of board games. We saw sea turtles and sting rays swimming around the bay, and there is an excellent reef there for snorkeling. You need to be prepared for driving around the island as the property is located on the east side of the island and is 15-20 minutes from most of the north side beaches. We enjoyed hiking, kayaking (highly recommend rentals from Reef2Peak!) smoothies at Colombo’s, fishing with Double Header Sportfishing, and a snorkel trip and visit to Lime Out with Calypso charters. We also cooked several meals at the house and had everything we needed. Best selection of groceries was from Starfish in Cruz Bay, Dolphin in Coral Bay was smaller but was good for snacks and drinks. Highly recommend staying here!
