About this property

Stunning Views, Peaceful Location, Large Pool & Minutes from Cruz Bay

A fantastic home for families or multiple couples to enjoy peace and tranquility, with stunning ocean views, a large pool, and the convenience of Cruz Bay only minutes away. Terrapin Station (formerly known as Stella Bella) underwent a major renovation in 2020 that included an all-new kitchen, master bath, guest suite, AC systems and furnishings. The property retains the charms of old St. John while providing the modern conveniences you expect in a vacation home.

The upstairs has an open floor plan with amazing views. The chef-worthy kitchen sits just above a sunken living and dining area, allowing everyone to gather during meal time and social hour - or to watch a game on the 60” screen. Outside the living room is an expansive deck that overlooks Chocolate Hole and Hart Bay, with St Thomas to the west and St Croix to the south.

Adjoining the living area are two equal-sized primary suites. Each suite has its own private bath and large covered screened-n porch. Both bedrooms are over 350 sf and feature new king-size beds plus a separate day bed for napping…or keeping little ones close by.

The other two bedrooms are downstairs. Both are mini-apartments with private baths, kitchenettes and separate entrances – perfect for in-laws or outlaws who need privacy. Bedroom #3 is set up like a two-room hotel suite, with a king-size bed in one room and space for a full size air mattress in the separate living area. Bedroom #4 is an efficiency configuration, with a queen-size bed and a full kitchen. The views are essentially identical from all four of the villa’s bedrooms.

There are other great features throughout the house. For starters, 100% of the living area is air conditioned, which isn’t typical on St John. Terrapin Station has one of the island’s larger pools – and it’s private enough for skinny-dipping! If cooking is your thing, the well-appointed kitchen, two refrigerators and an outdoor grill will make your week. Fast internet service, a brand new laundry room, Tesla Power Walls to keep the lights on during a power outage, and parking for 3+ vehicles makes this a great place to call your island home.

Overall nice
Location is great! This is the 3rd property we’ve stayed in on STJ, and while it was definitely adequate for our getaway purposes in every way, it’s been our least favorite due to layout mostly. Wouldn’t recommend for family with young children; there are many stairs on this property and access to the pool is not easy.

Amazing stay!!
Our group of 8 had the most amazing stay!! All of us parents enjoyed a vacation without kids. The house made our trip so easy having everything we needed and more. The location was perfect too being so close to Cruz Bay and so secluded. And the pool!!! It was so fun to enjoy day and night!! We highly recommend this house!

Great House on St. John
We were a group of 2 families. The 4 bedrooms allowed us to spread out. Communication with property manager was A+. Beds very comfortable. Kitchen excellent. Driveway challenging but we got better with each day we spent there. Pool great. Outdoor deck with raised bar table and shade screen wonderful. Great views in AM and PM. Beach towels provided were good. Beach chairs and coolers provided were fine. Overall a great place to stay! Thanks Katja.

Nice view
Really enjoyed staying at this house. Great location and views. One thing to consider is the downstairs rooms are like apartments. Our kids did not want to stay there so it was great that each upstairs rooms had day beds and the couch was extremely comfortable.

Great house - crazy driveway!
It was a wonderful house and suited the needs of our group beautifully! Only thing I would recommend be noted on the listing is the steep driveway. Our taxi driver was willing to go up each time but if we were traveling with older folks it would be really dangerous. Otherwise, amazing house!!

About the host

Host profile image
We purchased Terrapin Station in 2021. After visiting St John with our family, we fell in love with the island and wanted a home to build lasting memories with our family and friends. So while we are not (yet!) residents, we'll be frequent visitors...and part of our hearts remain in St John.

We are fortunate to have Tori and Katja managing the house. They have deep roots on St John, and are dedicated to ensuring that our visitors enjoy their trip! Whether you choose our house or one of their other offerings, you'll be in great hands.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house because we could see our family and friends enjoying time together inside in the open living space, on the multiple decks, and in the large swimming pool. We also love the location, with the rare mix of privacy and convenience. Located at the end of a road, the house is surrounded by nature, yet only 3-minutes to the grocery store, 5-min to downtown Cruz Bay and less than 10-min to the north side beaches.

What makes this property unique

100% air conditioned, big pool, private location and convenient to everything. Great for couples sharing space with 4 large, private bedrooms. Very accommodating for families with two of the bedroom suites including day beds.
