Gorgeous View, Beach Access, Swimming Pool, Kayaks, Quiet Privacy - the East End

Want to get away from it all? The East End of St. John is that special place to do it!
Come enjoy what Long Bay Getaway has in store for you and your family!

This lovely cottage is nestled on the quiet and uncrowded East End of St. John in the Privateer Bay community. We invite couples seeking a private, natural, relaxing location with space to stretch out, small families looking for a safe and wild home base with easy private beach access, or two couples (or small group of friends) looking to share the fun and the cost (deals for 7 day stays or monthly). This 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom cottage (+ fun outdoor shower) has everything you need to get lost in your vacation away from any busy-ness. Long Bay Getaway has everything for you: a nicely stocked kitchen, air conditioned bedrooms, comfortable furnishings, a private pool, fast internet, lovely native plants, wildlife, and the unending peace you need. We even have an electric piano and acoustic guitar to learn or play music!

If you choose to leave this beautiful home and explore St. John, you are less than a half hour drive from the famous North side beaches including Trunk Bay, Maho Bay, Cinnamon Bay, and Hawksnest. Or you can stay and relax at one of the secret top beaches near us, including Hansen Bay. As a guest at Long Bay Getaway, you also have private access to the secluded beach at Long Bay which is 500 steps from our property. The snorkeling is superb and there are community kayaks or an SUP for your personal use.

There are wonderful island amenities near the property, including Sloop Jones' shop for one-of-a-kind clothing and art and the local East End people at Hansen Bay and nearby beaches. The East End is the "other side" of St. John - quiet, natural, private, incredible sunsets by the pool, and deep star gazing in the natural dark of this secluded area.

If you prefer natural peace and solitude, you will love this part of the island!!

Book it if available!!!
This was one of our favorite stays. We travel all over to see National Parks and we stay at VRBO's. We love the East End of St. John Island, more secluded and peaceful. The house is 2 stories with stairs to the front door and stairs down to the 2 bedrooms. Cooked fresh fish on the grill (brought my own grill mat) and the kitchen had anything you needed to cook with. The pool was excellent! I brought a swimming resistant band and did my laps every day. The private neighborhood beach was great for snorkeling. It was a shallow bay so the fish were small and colorful. Like a fish aquarium or fish nursery. Loved it!

Quiet get away
My family and I enjoyed our stay at St. John. Winding through roads with our Jeep was truly an adventure! Who needs rollercoasters (haha). Snorkeling, hiking, beach time, and enjoying nature was time well spent. After a day of these adventure, my children enjoyed pool time each evening and meals with a fabulous view!!! We didn't use the air conditioning because the house has such wonderful window ventilation that a cool breeze combined with ceiling fans made sleeping comfortable. With sounds of nature all around (mostly goats), our stay was fabulous.

Love Hansen Bay
Our second visit to the property was just as wonderful as our trip two years ago. It does take some driving on the winding roads to reach the East End, but we love getting away for a peaceful vacation. The house has a huge, wonderful porch, fully equipped kitchen, nice living room, bathrooms, comfortable beds, outdoor shower and a pool! We enjoy kayaking and snorkeling around Pelican Rock from the neighborhood beach.

Slice of Paradise
We absolutely loved our stay at Long Bay Getaway! It is a great location, away from it all yet close enough to Coral Bay to head there for dinner and the North Shore beaches or Salt Pond for the day. It was a fun drive to the place and we were glad to have a jeep. We loved the pool and enjoyed every evening swimming until the sun went down. It was a very comfortable temperature! The kitchen was well equipped and the grill worked for dinners. The bedrooms cooled down well with a combination of fans and ac and the beds were comfortable. We also really enjoyed snorkeling at Long Bay and spent some time there. Thanks for sharing your place with us!

Slice of heaven
Our family of four including two kiddos had the most amazing stay at the Long Bay Getaway. This was our third time visiting the island and our first time staying on the East end. The sunsets, rainbows over the bay, private beach with snorkeling, quiet and serenity, wildlife on the property including birds, lizards, and iguanas, beautiful private pool all to ourselves, as well as the house and all of its amenities and comforts (everything we needed including speedy internet and fully stocked kitchen) far exceeded our expectations. It was like we stepped into a home as we all felt comfortable and relaxed at the house. The frog chorus at night time and the bird chorus in the mornings were delightful. The house is clean, comfortable, quiet, secluded, safe, and secure. The property manager was amazing and made contact with us before the trip and was there to help with the drop of a text. This house is a nature retreat and was just what our family needed. Expect to reset if you stay at this house as its comfort and beauty inside and out are beyond words. We are so grateful to have been able to stay at this amazing retreat on St John.
