We had an incredible stay at this St. John villa and would absolutely book it again. The location couldn’t have been better—just a one-minute drive to Trunk Bay, which truly lives up to its reputation as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and only about three minutes from Cinnamon Bay. It was the perfect home base for exploring the island.The view from the villa is worth a million dollars. We looked forward to every sunrise and sunset, and the night sky was breathtaking. Seeing so many stars from the deck was one of the highlights of our trip.Our host was responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. Tommy, the caretaker, was phenomenal. He made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, answered all of our questions, and was always available if we needed anything.One tip: rent a Jeep! The roads on St. John are steep and winding, and having a Jeep makes getting around easy and lets you explore everything the island has to offer.If you’re looking for an amazing villa with spectacular views, an unbeatable location, and outstanding hospitality, this is the place to stay. We can’t wait to come back!

What a view!

The Gatehouse Honeymoon property was perfect for my husband and I. The view was stunning from the deck and bedroom. The property manager was super friendly and accommodating to our needs. The location was perfect , located between Trunk Bay and Cinnamon Bay making it easy to get to the beach for the day. We didn't use the bedroom air conditioning because there was a lovely breeze every night.

Beautiful

Peter Bay is a great location, and the Gatehouse is very nice for two people. My only suggestions would be for a map from Cruz Bay to the Peter Bay gate entrance, and for a resort map, particularly the path to the beach. It is a steep walk and not being sure we were headed the right way was a bit concerning on day one. Other than that, absolutely perfect location and accommodations. We will be back!

Beautiful views but . . .

We were pleased with the excellent location, beautiful views from the spacious veranda and lovely private beach. The property manager and owner were very responsive, and we appreciated being met at the ferry. However, during a hard rain the first night, we had puddles in the bedroom and bathroom and the bathroom counter was soaked. Per the owner, this can happen occasionally with heavy rains, but we were not warned ahead of time. In addition, the indoor space would benefit from a refresh, including better/more inviting lighting and patching/painting a wall with cracks in the bedroom.

This property has a "killer view ",however due to it's eastern exposure it is vulnerable to heavy wind driven rain, especially via the louvers of the jalousie windows and doors. This is explained to guests upon arrival. Your review of 3 stars, our first review less than 5 stars is IMO unjustified since we have no control of the weather. Due to the weather we are required to scape peeling paint and paint certain areas each September, about the only time it is not rented. Your Host, Richard

Great stay in Peter Bay

If you want a hilltop stay on St. John with incredible views and top notch accommodations then this is a great choice. Its pretty easy to find, only about 15 min from town and within a very short drive of a number of exquisite Caribbean beaches. The place itself is nicely furnished, has a great deck, serviceable, well stocked kitchen, beautiful bathroom, the bed is comfortable and parking is straightforward. It is expensive so make sure that walking to the beach is not a big factor for you, because in this place you are paying for a great view from high above the beach. The beach at Peter Bay is best reached by driving downhill to get as close as you as you can get and then there is a walk of 5 min or so on a pretty beat up path. We instead mostly opted to drive the 2 min to Trunk Bay as our go to beach. Yes its got an entry fee but it is flat out gorgeous, not crowded when we were there in October, and the snorkeling is pretty good as well.

Stacy, Thanks for your review. Yes, the beach path also happens to be the main path that carries all the water from the mountain when we have those one inch per hour downpours. The path is governed by Coastal Zone Management and they limit what can be done to improve the path. Permit has been pending for a long long time. Glad you found Trunk, Cinnamon, and hopefully Maho and Francis, all beautiful options. Richard Matheny, owner

WOW that VIEW!!!

The gatehouse is a unique and stunning property located in one of the best locations on St John (in our opinion). The spectacular views from the balcony and windows just can’t be emphasized enough. They are incredible and will not disappoint. If peace and tranquility is your goal, sipping coffee in the morning or cocktails in the evening on the balcony while gazing at the azure blue sea and the green of the mountain backdrop all while being serenaded by the birds and frogs and rustling leaves of the trees…..this is the place for you. There are no blinds or curtains on the 7 beautiful arched mahogany and glass windows and doors in the bedroom, and as the sun rises each morning it peaks over Tortola, and into your windows and awakens you to start your day! The sunrises are outstanding (but no sleeping in, lol).The private beach is amazing, and truly private… no one else was there! But you are so close (only minutes) to several other gorgeous public beaches, Trunk, Hawksnest, Maho and Cinnamon. Everything we needed was supplied, including washer/dryer, snorkeling equipment, and beach chairs to borrow. Tommy was a sheer delight to meet and a wealth of knowledge on the island. He’s a gem of a guy! The only thing we saw that could be improved upon is some refreshing of some of the decor and furnishings as a few things getting a little worn, but that comes with age and use. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the gatehouse and look forward to staying here again and again!

Peter Bay Gatehouse is Paradise

This was our first trip to St. John for our honeymoon and our stay was amazing. The listing will entice you, but the real thing is breathtaking and beyond our expectations. The Honeymoon Suite is well equipped, spacious, and you’ll be continuously mesmerized by the view of Peter Bay, Cinnamon Bay beach, and Maho Bay beach from your large, private porch. Tommy was a wonderful host and made everything so much easier when we arrived. He helped with orienting us to the property, but also provided helpful information on navigating our way around. The location is very private, but not far from any of the island you want to explore. We would recommend renting a jeep/car if staying here for convenience of getting around anytime you want, plus it’s fun to drive on the left side of the road. We would love to come back someday to celebrate an anniversary or just a getaway. Thank you Richard and Tommy for making our honeymoon incredible.
