About this property

Breathtaking Views at Unicorn By The Sea Villa

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. Unicorn By The Sea has 3 Bedrooms, 3 1/2 Baths, Breathtaking views, swimming pool, BBQ Grill, and Gourmet Kitchen. The main house has 2 Master Suite Bedrooms on the bottom level and there is a separate cottage with an additional queen bed with full bathroom and kitchenette. The property is very private, you can not see any neighbors and they can not see you. Fish Bay is the perfect place to relax after a long day at the Beach with your loved ones. You'll have a wonderful time stargazing at night and drinking coffee before kickstarting your adventure each day!

The house is equipped with a Tesla solar system and backup generator, so you will never have to worry about power going out (a common occurrence on St John). The cisterns have been deep cleaned and the water is treated with a top of the line filtration system, so there is no need to buy bottled water like at most houses on St John. The house has local internet service as well as StarLink (satelite internet) to insure maximum internet reliability. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! We love this property and we're confident you will love staying there as much as we do! Unicorn has some of the most amazing views on the island! You won't regret it :-)

Unicorn by the Sea was perfect house and location for our trip to St John. House had all the amenities plus more and was very well maintained. Loved the open air kitchen. The views were beautiful from every room and balcony. The pool was great to sit by in the late afternoon. We were close enough to Cruz Bay to easily drive in for dinner or groceries, but we loved being a little away from the busy areas and having a quiet relaxing place to come back to.

Even better than the pictures. The view is absolutely stunning and world class. The home is very tastefully appointed with many tiny details unlike a standard vacation rental. You can tell this is a prized family home first. Communication was also excellent.

Amazing views as soon as you walk in. The house was everything it was described as. Clean, modern, and plenty of room for everyone to relax. Would definitely recommend staying here for a trip to St John. Fish bay is a little bit of a drive to beaches and downtown Cruz bay but it is worth it for the peace and quiet. Navigation is limited by lack of GPS and cell service but is manageable.

Amazing views. Perfect location. Morning sunrise and evening sun sets. Pool was a nice place to sit around and talk about the amazing beaches from the day. Host was fantastic, Giving us some great advice and recommendations. The kitchen being open to the outside was so nice, warm breezes and amazing view. The house was perfect for the three couples to enjoy exploring St. John.

Great spot. We had 6 people stay for 5 nights. The view speaks for itself. The pool was a fun place to hang out. The kitchen is well supplied. We had a small issue with the grill but the property owner was very responsive and worked to solve the issue.Eating dinner in the open air kitchen was a highlight. We all were comfortable and would stay here again.

Awesome stay at Fish Bay!

This is a great cottage-feel villa with an outstanding view of Fish Bay and Ditliff Point! Plenty of room to spread out with two large primary suites and a very spacious detached guest cottage next to pool. Location is so convenient to Cruz Bay and beaches yet feels more quiet and private than other bays we've stayed. Would highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by John Elliott

Host profile image
We are a young family who fell in love with St John after our first visit to the island. We stayed on St. Thomas the first time we went to USVI and took a ferry over to St John for the day. After experiencing the beauty of the island and the north shore beaches, we knew St John was where we wanted to spend as much time as possible together. We started coming to the island frequently and learned as much as we could about the real estate market. After over a year of searching for a house, we finally came across Unicorn By The Sea. The house is stunning. The flowers, landscaping, and amazing views made the house stand out from the hundreds of houses we looked at. The previous owners owned the house for 18 years and it was a successful rental. In April of 2021 we took over ownership and have been updating and upgrading the house ever since. We plan to spend 2-3 months out of the year on St John making memories with our family and updating the property with new furniture and nicer amenities. We look forward to hosting you and showing why Unicorn is such an amazing place.

Why they chose this property

After over a year of searching for a house, we finally came across Unicorn By The Sea. The house is breathtaking. The flowers, landscaping, and amazing views made the house stand out from hundreds of other houses we looked at on the island. It's convenient to Cruz Bay while still offering serenity and privacy. It's the perfect place to unwind after a day on the beach. We enjoy stargazing at night on the patio with our family. It's so peaceful hearing the sounds of the ocean and the wildlife in Fish Bay.

What makes this property unique

One of the best views on the island. Amazing ocean views from every room. Completely private, you can not see neighbors. You feel like you have all of Fish Bay to yourself.
