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!!

Excellent Stay!
We just had this most wonderful week at the villa! Views were amazing and the location was convenient! It was the perfect layout for our two families of four. We have four teenagers between the two families and there was great room for everyone to spread out. The property managers were very helpful and answered any questions we had immediately. I can’t say enough about how wonderful our week was! Waking up this morning wishing we were still there!

Comfortable, spacious villa with beautiful views
Great place to stay for larger family or groups. Beautiful views, awesome pool. Very helpful hosts/managers who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We had kids ages 8 and 10 and their grandparents in their 80s with us. Those in their 80s would’ve struggled on their own here as the very steep driveway and many stairs are tough to navigate. And I would’ve been nervous with really small kids given all the decks and stairs. But we loved it.

great home over all.
We loved our stay here. The main level has deck with beautiful view of Chocolate Hole and other bays. Nice pool, it is two levels below main level cascading down the hill. Two apt type rooms are one level below main level, each with their own bathroom. Driveway is very steep, need 4-wheel vehicle to drive up it safely, but there are many mountains on this island, so not surprising.. Property management was very responsive. Master bedroom mattress was comfortable, but other three couples said the mattresses definitely needed to be replaced. Deck is a bit worn with many nail heads sticking up slightly, so wear shoes. Overall, great place to stay and will be even better after some maintenance.
