About this property

Elegant Beachfront Villa with Pool, private path to Secluded Beach and Kayaks!

This is it! Located on the exclusive East End, 'The Hideaway' transports you back to the Caribbean experience of your dreams. Without a neighbor in sight, you will enjoy the serenity and tranquility of song birds and sea breezes as you float in the private pool suspended above the lush and fragrant vegetation. A private path leads you past ancient Tamarind trees to your own beach in paradise. Gear is provided to allow you to snorkel the Hansen Bay reef and Pelican Rock right off your beach. There are kayaks on the shore to allow you to explore even further. The drive is a short distance to the famous National Park beaches that abound on island. Hike trails of the Park or walk the country lanes outside your door past abundant flowering trees and palms. This brand new villa is the fantasy of the Architect /Interior Designer owners and comes complete with everything you need to enjoy the island.
All three bedrooms have their own bathrooms and state of the art whisper quiet air conditioning as well as ceiling fans.The great room has four ceiling fans as does the shaded outdoor loggia/living area. Indoor and outdoor dining on multiple levels, outdoor wet bar and outdoor shower adds to the well planned layout. The villa includes internet access with a TV/VCR with an extensive collection of movies, CD/IPOD player and gourmet kitchen that is fully equipted for the most discerning chef. There is also an armoire bursting with games of all sorts and a well curated library to borrow from.


Snorkling and Scuba: The Hideaway's private path leads to a private beach maintained by the Privateer Bay Homeowners Association. Snorkeling consists of a reef along the shore to the SE and the area surrounding Pelican Rock. A short walk or kayak away is Haulover Bay with additional awesome snorkeling on the Francis Drake Channel side. Privateer Bay Beach Association also maintains a beach, over the hill behind the Hideaway on Francis Drake Channel side. Crystal clear waters abound! Snorkeling gear is available at the villa and additional equipment can be rented at Crabby's in Coral Bay. Diving is available in Coral Bay or at Low Key in Cruz Bay. The wreck of the Rhone, the Indians and the caves of Norman Island are a short distance away by boat.

Beaches: Along with the private beach maintained by PBHA at the end of the path from the Hideaway, the kayaks provide access to a myriad of beaches within Coral Bay. Beyond your beach, the closest beaches are Vie’s , Salt Pond, Francis Bay and Maho beach. The North Shore beaches are a short drive away as well…

Dining: On the East End, you have Vie’s Snack Shop and beach 3 minutes away and the renowned Skinny Legs is 8 minutes away. In Coral Bay you will find several choices for dining along with groceries in a well stocked Dolphin Market at Cocolobo complex. Love City Market is also close for bottled water and smaller grocery needs. For additional shopping, you can go into Cruz Bay (20 minute drive 8 miles away) for shopping at Starfish, Dolphin or St. John market for food and beverage provisions, and Mongoose for interesting items. There is a list in the villa with restaurants noted. You might find, after visiting Cruz Bay and stocking up, there is no reason to leave the tranquility of the East End and the Hideaway.
There are two additional air conditioned bedrooms available with a complete for an additional fee if desired. Contact owner for pricing.

58th Birthday Retreat in paradise!
We were so lucky to have found this gem, off the beaten path, on the beautiful East End with friendly neighbors and amazing snorkeling basically right out of the back door! We cooked every night - fully stocked kitchen which was great! Christine was very helpful and we hope to come again!

This villa was the perfect place for my family to stay during our Christmas vacation. The house was clean, comfortable, and the hosts were extremely responsive. Having access to the beach to kayak, snorkel & paddle board was also a huge plus! Highly recommend staying here.

Excellent vacation retreat
Great stay. Enjoyed the property and the remote location on the East End, while still having relatively easy access to the rest of the island. Many good snorkeling options nearby, including the reef off the private beach. Good dining options nearby. Property owners were communicative and answered all of our questions promptly.

Private Hideaway
If you’re looking to unplug in a quiet, secluded, beautiful home THIS is the spot! As a previous reviewer mentioned, it is a bit of a drive to get to, but worth it. The homes layout worked perfectly for our family, the lanai was wonderful (bring lots of bug spray) with ample shade & seating & a plunge pool to cool off. But THE VIEW! Wow! Totally private & serene. Private beach was an extra cherry on top. My ONLY complaint is the main area of the house- LR/kitchen are not air conditioned. In early July it was quite hot & humid and would’ve love the A/C. All bedrooms have a/c, so that was welcome relief. Home is equipped with everything you will need to cook, play and relax!

Fantastic setting!
The view as you walk into the outdoor area is breathtaking! The private beach is outstanding & very private! Rocky entry is tricky but the snorkeling is outstanding! Kayaking to nearby Hansen Beach, Haulover & beyond is a workout but great way to get around & snorkel close by. House is amazingly landscaped & comfortable inside. Well stocked kitchen & quality mattress! Way too big for 2 but would be perfect for large families…..Outdoor area is A+……shaded seating area, wet bar/fridge, big enough pool with a view. Bird feeders for hummingbirds, frequent goat & deer sightings, lovely trail from the house to the beach…..you could enjoy a week just at the house, so plan 2 weeks so you can break away & explore the island! 4th trip one of our best! East End is perfect!

Fantastic!!!
We were a party of 5 people and had a great time for our week stay!!! House itself: is beautiful! And had a great/functional layout for us. It was very clean. The kitchen was nice and fully stocked which made cooking easy with so many people and various dietary restrictions. The sitting area by the pool was the favorite hang out and was a great common area. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms worked well. We didn’t use the tv at all but did enjoy some of the books and games available. Yard and area: was also beautiful and functional for us. The beach was a short walk and ended up having some good snorkeling including seeing turtles. Walks on the beach and seashell hunting was a daily occurrence as was a night time walk around the house and yard to see what little lizards and frogs we could see. We also found a couple scorpions which we didn’t realize where native to the area. The neighborhood is quiet and near other good snorkeling/beaches as well. Short drive into coral bay for restaurants and shops. Communication: was great and they were very responsive to questions and helpful all around. Check in and out was super easy. All in all we really loved the house and our stay!

Beautiful Home!!
We all loved the house from the moment we walked in. The property has so many beautiful plantings and the Pool Loggia area was just so relaxing that we found it hard to leave the house but of course we had to as there are so many wonderful beaches close by. We would definitely stay at the Hideaway again, looking forward to coming back.

Everything we hoped for and more
The Hideaway exceeded our expectations! The luxurious house, nestled on a hill at the East End of St. John, was gorgeous and comfortable. We sat in the outdoor living space for hours enjoying the views. We couldn’t get enough of the private beach with fantastic snorkeling just feet away. The pool was a wonderful way to cool off. The home was well stocked with kitchen supplies, towels, beach towels, snorkeling equipment, kayaks, and paddle boards. If in search of remote luxury on a beautiful island, The Hideaway is your place!

Paradise on earth! This beautiful villa is even more lovely than the pictures show, if that is possible. Every amenity is available. The owners and property managers are so communicative and responsive. The East End is quiet and relaxing, with a beautiful private beach and vibrant reefs just a few feet into the water. The snorkeling and diving is second to none. Close to Coral Bay and all it has to offer and also to Cruz Bay (which we were happy to avoid with the crowds this summer). My entire family, from grandparents to teenagers, absolutely loved this villa. I hope to return again soon.

A Rare Gem
The Hideaway villa in the East End of St John was the perfect accommodations for our family vacation to St John. The villa has a very private location on beautiful Long Bay beach. The landscaping and views of the bay are absolutely fantastic. The villa was immaculately clean, modern, and well equipped. We enjoyed the property and amenities (pool, grill, paddle boards, kyaks, beach chairs) for a glorious 10 days. The solar power with battery backup provided lights and refrigeration through two power interruptions during our stay. The owner and property manager always promptly responded to our communications. We our grateful that the owners have made this amazing property available for rent. We would gladly stay here again. My only word of caution would be that this remote location is not for everyone. Staying here requires a lengthy drive up and down, narrow, and steep roads to go just about any where. We have been to St John previously and always choose to be away from the hustle and bustle of the resorts, day trippers, and cruise ships. This location was ideal for us.

Serene getaway
The Hideaway is a perfect spot for a restorative getaway. The house is well maintained, designed and furnished. With the beautiful pool, kitchen and beach access, there is no need to leave, but you will want to explore the island. The property is far from Cruz Bay -- a plus for us, but others may not agree. There are enough restaurants and small grocery stores in Coral Bay that we only trekked to Cruz Bay once. We took day trips and went out for late lunches before returning to the pool. The kitchen had every utensil and gadget we needed to prepare simple dinners and snacks. Christine was a responsive host. The house has reliable wifi, nice bathrooms and all the toys you might want for a fun vacation. We plan to return!

Wonderful Anniversary Trip
We rented this beautiful home for our Anniversary. We couldn't been more pleased when we arrived as the home and surroundings were even more beautiful than the pictures in the listing. Our host had thought of everything ahead of time and we had everthing we needed. We spent so much time on the verandah. It was so inviting. The weather was perfect and the view beautiful. From kayaks to sup boards to snorkel equipment to towels for the pool and everything in between, everything we needed was there. Thank you for a wonderful stay and a magnificent anniversary! We hope to be back again soon!

Great stay!
We had a great time! Home was the best we stayed in on the island! Home was clean and very comfortable! Beach, kayaks and pool were fantastic! Only downside was the lack of internet. We couldn’t get the password to work and my boys had to do school via their phones. But the deserted beach with great snorkeling made up for it! Would return in a heartbeat!

A private paradise
The Hideway was wonderful! Our family of two adults and two teens were in love with its gorgeous landscape, plenty of toys like snorkels, kayaks and SUPs, and a panoramic view of Hansen Bay. Once you have been to the grocery store, there is no reason to leave with a beach steps away, a reef for snorkeling and plenty of water to explore. The house tends to every comfort and Christine makes sure that you have all you need to start a relaxing vacation. Don’t miss the sunset hour on the beach while finishing the pink sky from the porch with a cocktail in hand! Thank you for sharing your home!

Amazing last minute retreat
The villa was beautiful, more beautiful than the photos show. We enjoyed the kayaks and SUPs, snorkeling gear, and of course, just having access to the private beach. Rocky, but nonetheless, private. Just be careful.... as there are lots of sea urchin in the sea. The rooms were very well appointed, including the kitchen and living room. Just watching the sunset by the pool was most relaxing. I would go back in a heartbeat!!! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

What makes this property unique

The Hideaway came through Irma and Maria...bruised but strong!
We have Power and a new stove and windows and shutters are to be made new by April. Until then, all it working and the screening over some openings lets wonderful sea breezes in and keeps mosquitos out! Internet is on it's way and TV have an extensive library of movies to entertain in the evenings.
Contact us at ccstluka@gmail.com or text 203 807 1971
Come enjoy this healing island....the beaches are just as beautiful as ever and the trails are all cleared!
