About this villa rental

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, this property is nice. Some pros and cons: Pros: Its a nice space with 4 master bedrooms, great for 4 couples or a mix of small families. 2 rooms on the top floor are connected in the middle with the living/dining/kitchen, which is well suited. Kitchen had mostly everything we needed. Good location, for sure. Cons: The way the 4 master bedrooms are set up, the two suites on the lower level are only accessible by going up the deck steps. So the 2 bedrooms downstairs are not a good setup for kids, grandparents, etc. The two bottom level bedrooms also didnt seem to be completely sealed from the outside- our 3 teens slept in those rooms and got many misquito bites as they slept. The driveway is VERY steep- fun for our crew, but I could see it being a negative for some. In general, St.Johns roads are akin to a jungle scene up a mountain in the movie Jumangi. There is no public trash service on the island, so be aware that you'll need to drive your trash to a dumpster about 5-10 minutes away.

House: amazing view, House very comfortable, TV in almost each room, Pool very nice, Property Manger: We had a little issue at the beginning as the house was not ready neither cleaned. But the property manager was nice to offer us one more night as apology. I would go back to this house again.

The home and property are absolutely gorgeous. We loved this house the most out of everywhere we have stayed. The layout worked really well for us with two masters off the main living area and an additional two apartment style rooms on the lower level. The home is very welcoming and cozy. The living room furniture was amazing! I want to buy it for my own house. The kitchen was fully stocked and even had extras like spices which we very much appreciated. I love how the property manager waited for us at the dock and lead us to the property. It’s in a fabuabout minutes

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.

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!

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.

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.
