We booked this house for our family of 4 (two kids ages 10 & 13), and it was the perfect fit for us! Both bedrooms are on the lower level and connected by a covered deck. One of the bedrooms has 2 beds, so my daughter and son were able to spread out and have their own space. The bedrooms and living area are air conditioned, which is a huge plus. The kitchen is open air, but we enjoyed our time in the mornings listening to the ocean waves and island rain roll in while having coffee. The outdoor shower has the BEST views and the entire house is completely private. The pool is small, but my kids still thoroughly enjoyed it and had zero complaints. The kitchen has high end appliances and all the necessary amenities to cook a meal. The living room has plenty of seating and a smart tv, so we enjoyed wrapping up our day there in the air conditioning. There was plenty of beach towels, bath towels, and a washer/dryer. The host was amazing to communicate with. Overall, this is one of the best houses we’ve stayed at on St. John, located in a peaceful bay, and has amazing views from every room. We will definitely be back!

This spot is perfect if you want to be out of town and away from the crowd. The view is amazing. Our 3 girls were comfy together in the guest room. The home owner and local manager were very accommodating and helpful. We would stay here again.

Check-in was simple as we were met by the caretaker who walked us through the property. The owners notes about the islands was incredibly helpful. The house was a great mix of air conditioned locations and open Caribbean style spaces. The view is spectacular, and you can see St. Croix on most days. The kitchen was well equipped and the layout was great for cooking. Internet was reliable and allowed us to work remotely for a couple days. Having the solar and battery backups was critical, as the power on the island is not reliable. I highly recommend this property, and I am planning a return trip in the near future.

We absolutely loved staying at unicorn by the sea. Its views were amazing and the house had absolutely anything and everything we could need for our stay. Very well appointed it was clean and well designed/decorated. We will definitely be back. This place is a total find!

Unicorn by the Sea was absolute perfection, and I don't know how we'd stay somewhere else whenever we get the chance to return to St. John! I really appreciated all of John's help with recommendations pre- and during the trip, and while we never really needed anything from the property manager while we were there, communication with her was easy and responsive. The home is gorgeous and really well laid out; we especially loved having both open air dining and an A/C enclosed area for hanging out. The pool was the perfect size for our family (two kids, 6 & 9). The kitchen was well-stocked, and grocery delivery made it easy to eat at home a few nights when we didn't feel like driving on the adventurous roads after a day on the beach. Furniture/beds were comfy, too. The only downside was that eventually we had to leave and return to work/school :)

Views are stunning, private pool is a happy retreat at the end of a long day of exploring! Quiet and private neighborhood. Town is 15/20min drive with easy access to grocery store as it’s on your way (starfish or dolphin). The first drive out was an adventure but after that, old hat. Took a couple charters with Cruz Bay Watersports which you catch at the dock of the Westin which is also on the way out to Unicorn. Well appointed kitchen which allowed us to dine at home with our family some of the nights. Unicorn is truly a unicorn, thank you for sharing it with us!

We stayed at Unicorn with our 4 kids in March 2024. The views from the balcony were spectacular. We were mesmerized by the colors of the sunsets and the water. The bedrooms were nice but a little tight having 3 teens with us. We loved the outdoor shower, the dipping pool, the outdoor night lighting, grill, washer/dryer, well stocked kitchen, and ability to communicate with our host with ease. The location is great overlooking Fish Bay and just under 15 min from Cruz Bay. Overall the views from the open air kitchen and dining space made this home for us truly special and something our family will think back on with delight and hopes for a return amidst the forever memories we will always carry with us...

Unicorn by The Sea was by far the nicest villa we’ve rented in St. John. The views were stunning, the property was clean and very well kept. The location is quiet and just far enough out of town to get away from the noise. I can’t say enough about this property. The owner and caretaker were both very nice, easy to talk to, and were very helpful.

THE WALK IN VIEW IS SO MAJESTIC AND BEAUTIFUL. The open kitchen overlooking Fish Bay is like a dream come true. It's so incredibly calming, beautiful and the entire Villa is gorgeous. You walk in and immediately feel like Royalty.

We LOVED St. Johns and Fish Bay was the way to go. This house is so adorable, and just perfect! The owner went out of his way to gives us ideas, info, suggestions etc. The views are WOW! We spent our time enjoying the balconys, patio, and fabulous open air spaces. We will be back!

The views are amazing. The spot is remote, no sounds, stars galore (when no clouds). A few tiny issues with water usage and squeaky sounds and a smoke smell, but overall it’s really great. Awesome setup/layout with top/main floor kitchen dining and living space for games and tv and eating. The porch is awesome for morning coffee and star gazing at night. Bedrooms are big and bathrooms are nice. Pool is a little small, but works for smaller groups/people and can take turns. All in all, it’s a great spot. It’s a bit cut off, so drive is a little longer to get places but the privacy is worth it.

Great property overall. Amazing views and no alarm clock needed where you can wake up naturally with the sunrise. Then you can work your way out to the deck on any floor and absorb your view into paradise.
The owner John is very responsive to any questions and was a great host to our family vacation in St. John.

This property was amazing. It was perfect for a group of six. It was very clean and well appointed. Monica the property manager was very responsive and took care of anything we needed! We also ordered groceries to be delivered from Dolphin market. Would highly recommend this service as well! Our delivery was a few hours late due to someone calling in sick but our delivery guy was so sweet and brought us a bottle of complimentary Prosecco for the delay. Which was unnecessary but so kind. Over all it was an amazing vacation!

We just spent an amazing week at Unicorn By the Sea. The views from the house are spectacular from sunrise to sunset. At night the sky is full of stars. The house was so clean, the amenities were fantastic. We will definitely be returning!!

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!

The view is fabulous and the plant life around the home is gorgeous. Hummingbirds visit everyday. We loved hanging by the pool so much we would get Beach Bar to go just so we could relax by the pool.
I was so impressed with the personal communication from the owner. We visit St John every year and this by far was the best experience renting a property yet.
Planning on renting again next year for sure.

Just spent a lovely week at Unicorn by the Sea. The house has gorgeous views from every room overlooking Fish Bay and the surrounding peninsulas. The views alone are worth the trip. The Fish Bay area is quiet, peaceful, and has a flat area for evening walks. The house was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. We cooked every night and the kitchen was well equipped. We loved the fact that the house offered multiple lounging spaces. The pool area is particularly lovely, and our teen loved the privacy of the guest house. We loved the caretaker Monica who responded to texts quickly and also gave us great snorkeling tips. Overall, it’s a lovely home, and we would certainly stay here on our next visit to beautiful St John.

Home Away from Home with Outstanding View in St. John
We absolutely loved our 2 week stay at Unicorn by the Sea in St. John! The location was great, approx 10 minute drive from Cruz Bay and easy access "over the top" to the North shore national park beaches. The property is up to date, very well maintained and had 3 amazing en-suites + great shared living space on the top floor of the main house. Open air living room/kitchen with unbelievable views! Both stories have full length patios and we spent a lot of time watching sunrises, sunsets, and stars! The kitchen and entire home are very well equipped for a true "home away from home" experience! There are two full-sized washer/dryers, beach chairs, coolers, you name it! The owner was awesome and very responsive + two on-island property managers available via phone/text. We would highly recommend staying at the Unicorn by the Sea (the only 4-star rating was because listing/photos did not due the home justice -- it is BETTER than listed!) and will definitely plan to stay again the next time we have an opportunity to travel to St. John!

Beautiful view of Fish Bay
Walking through the front door you are immediately drawn to the beautiful view! The kitchen was well appointed with everything you need. Especially liked the cooler drawer where we stored our water bottles.
Some updates are needed on the bar area by the pool but other than that everything was nicely done.
Great location and a bright breezy color schemes.
