The rental unit is the private lower level of our home with separate private access and dedicated off-street parking. We may or may not be in residence during your stay.

Our home was built to withstand 330 MPH winds and we therefore experienced very minimal damage to our roof gutters and a few decking boards during the 2017 storms. The damaged gutters and decking has been replaced with new material. Solar power was added after the storms for essential services.

You can walk to the beach in 3 to 4 minutes from the house or drive your car with-in several feet of the beach for offloading of gear. Expansive reef starting ten feet offshore. Water depths from 3 feet sloping gradually to 100 feet plus within several hundred yards. Visibility varies up to 100 feet plus. Point to left of beach has drop off for wall diving. Within several minutes by boat to 'The Indians', the 'Wreck of the Rhone' and the 'Caves' of Norman Island.

Beaches: Villa is situated on Privateer Bay Beach. It is a short 3 to 4 minute walk down the driveway to the beach. Newfound Beach which is also part of the Privateer Bay Homeowners Association is just a short three min drive away. Both beaches are private and are maintained by PBHA. The famous and popular 'North Shore' beaches, Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay, Honeymoon and others are just a short drive up Centerline Road to the North Shore Road.

Peace, Beauty and Adventure ARE the Ultimate Luxuries

Bob met us at Hansen Bay Beach to allow us to follow him to the Villa and, as we followed, it was hard to contain our wonder even after the long day of travel from Atlanta. On our prior trips to St John, we thought a mountain villa overlooking Coral Bay was remote and peaceful, had never ventured to Hansen, this time Hansen was just the starting point as the panoramas unfolded and driving the goat and donkey filled roads became a much-loved daily feature of our days on St John. The views from the villa are an ever changing private, unspoiled panorama. The short walk to, and long walks on coral-strewn Privateer beach was daily photo op. /We had everything we needed, and loved sharing the experience with our daughter and son-in-law. If you love adventure, privacy and beauty, book this villa for life-long memories.

Seahaven was heaven

Views were awesome. Waking up everyday and drinking coffee and watching the sunrise over the point was worth every penny. We had all we needed and communication was excellent with the owners and property manager.

Peaceful retreat

My family had an amazing stay at this beautiful property. The views were incredible and the property was immaculate and well appointed with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The owner was great and super helpful providing information on nearby shops, restaurants, good places to snorkel and directions. Looking forward to a return visit .

Privacy in Paradise

If possible, these photos don't quite do justice to Seahaven. The house itself is perfectly appointed and very comfortably laid out. The view over Privateer Bay is priceless, as is the star-strewn night sky, seen from the amiable porch hammock. The easy walk to the beach is not quite five minutes. Mattresses are great. Note: when you plan your day trips, the house is about a 15-20 minute drive to Coral Bay, so bear that in mind. The pool is quite small--not really for swimming. The beach is rounded stones, so wear footgear. But do go and bring your snorkel! It's magical. Moreover, we crave privacy and quiet and that is the great gift of this lovely house. Supplies included: coffee filters, toilet paper, paper towels, salt/pepper, shampoo, soap, beach towels and chairs, gazillions of books, DVDs, board games and very thoughtfully compiled lists of local resources. Super owners. Each morning we'd wake up and say, "How did we get so lucky and find this place?"

About the host

Hosted by Bob Crowder

Bob and Barb and their two grown sons Bobby and Richie are avid swimmers, snorkelers and scuba divers. Having lived near the ocean most of their lives they decided to build their retirement home on a beach. After over 20 beach vacations throughout the Caribbean, Hawaii and both coasts of Mexico, they decided on St John due to its exceptional beaches, 'Park-like' environment (St John is mostly National Park), lack of crowds, privacy, and the security of being a United States Territory, etc., they made the easy decision to build on St John. Bob is a retired structural engineer/construction manager who worked for one of the nations largest commercial contractors for 35 years and in his spare time has built the family's homes each time they relocated around the country. So building their retirement home was a natural progression. We used local labor to clear the land and build the foundation and then with Bob as the crew chief, Barb as the crew cook, their two sons and five of their college buddies erected the post and beam home in a little over three weeks. Local labor came back at that point to finish the home out.

After receiving her masters degree in Physical Education, Barb taught physical education for over 30 years in several states including Rhode Island and California. She was also a USS swim coach and US Masters swim coach. Barb was an accomplished swimmer at UNC Chapel Hill and continued swimming as a masters swimmer, winning several national championships. Bob received his engineering degree from Duke where he also swam and he and Barb have swum masters together for over 40 years now. They recently teamed up for a 'mixed' relay with another couple and set a national record for the 55 to 59 age group.

Their oldest son, Bobby is a Doctor, as is his wife. Their youngest son, Richie, is an accomplished freelance photographer and director of photography , living with his speech pathologist wife in Ojai, CA

Why they chose this property

Bob had visited the Virgin Islands while on a training trip with the Duke swim team back in 1975 and swore to all his college buddies that he was going to build a home and retire in the Virgin Islands. Of course they didn't believe him. After over 20 beach vacations throughout the Caribbean, Hawaii and both coasts of Mexico, Barb and Bob decided on St John due to its exceptional beaches, 'Park-like' environment (St John is mostly National Park), lack of crowds, privacy, and the security of being a United States Territory, etc they made the easy decision to build on St John. Of course Bob makes it a habit of inviting his best swimming buddy from Duke to visit every year at Seahaven to rub it in that he decided at age 19 where he was going to retire!!!

What makes this property unique

Seahaven is situated directly on one of the best swimming and snorkeling beaches in the Islands with fantastic views of the crescent shaped tropical beach of Privateer Bay off the deck. In addition, some of the best beaches in world just minutes away by car. Most of the island is a National Park founded by the Vanderbilts in the late 50's making St John a unique tropical paradise.
