About this house rental

Located in St. John, this lovely house for $245 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Stoney Bay Beach House is a one bedroom, one bath masonry house with a 60 foot long covered gallery, located in privateer bay estates nestled on it's own private beach. The house is close to the ocean and facing directly east taking advantage of the trade winds to keep the house nice and cool, and is one of the least" buggiest" locations on St John. The house is the only one in Stony Bay, part of Privateer Bay, so the only neighbors you will be able to see will be on the BVI,s! You will have no noise from cars, trucks, construction, dogs, roosters or people from this incredible location. The living room/dining room has beautiful soaring 18' cypress ceilings, with comfortable upscale furniture. You can enjoy watching the sunrise over Norman Island (aka Treasure Island) and the Caribbean sea from the comfort of your pillow top bed. The gallery is very close to the water and has a hammock , lounge chairs, Adirondack chairs and a table with 4 chairs for outdoor dining. The kitchen has all the amenities including a dishwasher and front loading washer and dryer. There is a coral reef right in front of the house to Privateer Bay for endless underwater exploring. If privacy, seclusion and nature are what your looking for this location is like no other. A 4wd is necessary for this house and many places on STJ. A 2dr 4wd jeep is best and renting on STJ is recommended because if there is a issue with a vehicle help will be nearby. ATT is the best cell service in most locations. Keywords: House

We booked this because we wanted to get away and relax. The Stony Bay House fit the bill. The view from the front deck and the nice breeze was perfect for lounging and relaxing. The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. We would definitely come back again.

We returned to the East End to stay at Stony Bay and are so glad we did. This place is ideal for those who enjoy privacy, sea breezes, insanely gorgeous island/ocean views, shell collecting, spectacular sunrises, magnificent stargazing. We enjoyed watching the hermit crabs and goats travel back and forth each morning and evening. The home has everything needed for cooking, laundry, beach hopping (chairs, coolers, snorkel equipment) or just resting either on the deck or right on the beach. The bed, furniture, towels, and dishes are all high quality so you'll feel right at home. Thanks to the owner, Bob, and the property manager, Whitni, for their support. We had a great time!

Tropical paradise at the end of the world. Completely private, we never saw another soul out there, only passing goats on the beach. The house is cozy and clean, with lovely dark wood furniture and nice linens. Very romantic for those who enjoy nature and solitude. The beach is beautiful. Stones, seashells & coral line the beach. What no other reviews mentioned is the world class fishing right in front of the house! I rented a kayak from downtown for the week and explored the entire stoney bay area, catching yellowtail, hardnose, houndfish, cero mackerel, mahi-mahi (yes mahi-mahi in kayak range right in front of the house) barracuda & a huge cubera snapper. The beach is challenging because the surf can be rough, and launching a kayak here requires advanced skills. But well worth the extra effort. Watching the sunrise from the deck is something out of a dream. A slice a heaven

We had a great stay at the house! Your housekeeper is fantastic! The entire house inside and out was spotless. The cleanest short term rental we have ever stayed in. It's on the windward side of the island so, yes it is windier but that keeps it cooler and with less bugs. Loved siting on the two resin chairs on the beach and listening to the waves for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Yes, some things do wash up on the rock beach but nothing excessive. We picked up a couple handful of items the entire 8 days we stayed.

This location is Magical, my Husband and I have stayed here multiple times and we just love it!!! The house has everything you will need, extra linens, beach towels, supplies, washer and dryer too. Fans are needed in the kitchen, when cooking in there even just breakfast it gets extremely Hot. All 4 beach chairs were broken and unusable. We contacted the property manager about this issue and were told it would be resolved but never was in our 2 week stay. Sadly not having chairs is a huge issue for us as we had to a beach daily.

I read all the reviews and felt I was aware of all the possibilities. If you choose to stay here, there are some additional things you will want to be aware of: 1. If you choose to go to St. John in June/July/ August there is a high likelihood the beach at this location will have Sargassum (red seaweed). We were there in August and there was 10 feet of dead Sargassum on shore and additional 10 feet floating. The dead on shore is alive with bugs and smells terrible. 2. This was the absolute dirtiest beach I have ever seen. In addition to the Sargassum there was garbage everywhere- shoes, socks, glass, a bean bag, part of a boat, beanie, and the list goes on. 3. The beach is rock- large ankle breaking rock that makes walking difficult, especially if you are older and a little less agile. 4. The location is remote (as advertised). What isn't said is that it is remote enough that there are rodents (large ones from the looks of the feces they leave and the holes in the screens). When you arrive you will be instructed to keep all food in the microwave and the fridge. 5. We experienced power outages while we were there. The power was out 12 of the first 36 hours we were there. The heat was unbearable. While I understand power outages cannot be controlled, when we asked the owner if he was willing to work with us with some kind of reimbursement so we could go somewhere else, he was very rude and told us we should just roll with it and adapt. No smoke detectors-BEWARE
