island stones has 6 bedrooms with bathrooms all very private. 2 bedrooms on main floor. The rest are very separate. Kind of quirky layout but worked. Youngest children stayed in room with their parents. Pool is 6 foot deep. The most beautiful view we have ever seen! Worked out for our family. Everyone has a tremendous time.
Stayed here for the second time.....Amazing views, simply gorgeous. Tucked into a jungle mountainside, so plenty of privacy. Great breeze, great pool and rooms are spread out and private. All the kitchen amenities you need. AC in all rooms including the common areas. Plenty of parking. Easy access to all the North shore beaches and Midway grocery. Nellie and owner both very responsive to any issues (though there are rarely any issues, minor if there are)Thanks again for a great stay, see you again next year :)
Fantastic stay. Took my employees for a reward trip and they had the time of their life. We spent days at Trunk Bay and Maho Bay. We also did a sailboat charter for a day on the water. Nothing better than getting home and jumping in the pool. We also took in a couple sunsets at Windmill Bar. Overall the house was great. The kitchen was perfect with everything you need. High end appliances with a fantastic outdoor grill. I look forward to booking again.
That place was incredible! The pictures donât do it justice, especially the pool and the view. You could tell all the native stonework was done by some real craftsman and it was well maintained. The grandkids learned to snorkel in the pool and then had a great time snorkeling at the beaches.. All the rooms were well appointed, the beds were comfy and the individual bathrooms and outside showers in each room where a plus that we didnât expect. We especially enjoyed all the professional landscaping and outdoor lighting. We liked the privacy and quietness of the location. Youâll be sold on the place just coming up the long driveway with all the stonework before you even see the main house.
We just got back from a week's stay at Island Stones. WoW! This was our first time staying at Island Stones. The view at Island Stones is breathtaking. The layout of the villa is sprawling and spacious. We had a group of 9, and we were never on top of each otherâan exceptional pool area with ample chairs for the group. The property is 10-15 minutes from all the North Shore beaches. Stephanie and Nellie were great. They made sure we were taken care of during our stay. We are working on another trip and will rebook Island Stones.
I don't even know where to start. Communication with owners and Nellie was simply outstanding. Location cannot be beat.....Villa has everything you could need. Pool was outstanding, rooms were comfortable, kitchen was stocked, ample parking, outdoor area was comfortable. Villa faces north giving both amazing views and no sun-in-your-face afternoons. Already planning 2 weeks for next year at same location.
To the nay-sayers that complain about bugs, roads, etc.......It's a jungle, what do you expect? If you don't want any of that, go to Cayman or Nassau
This was our second time staying at Island Stones. We had a group of 8 consisting of friends and family with two teenagers. The view at Island Stones is unbeatable in our opinion. The villa is sprawling and spacious. Lots of space with an exceptional pool area. Very close to all of the North Shore beaches. I have vacationed on St. John for many years and this is my favorite villa based on privacy, view and location.
Absolutely stunning property and views! The pictures donât do it justice, seeing it in person is, as stated, âstunningâ. We took this trip with longtime friends and had planned it for about a year and it did not disappoint! All the rooms having their own outdoor showers was an added plus! The pool and pool bar was our favorite spot after a few hours at the beach coming back to relax and hang out there was an every day choice. We had a few water issues while there but Nellie and Colby were great to work with and fixed the issues. I would highly recommend the property and hope to have a chance to return!
Island Stones was a beautiful property that fit our needs. From the moment you drive up the driveway and see the property sign and stone work, you know itâs going to be amazing. The pool was awesome to spend time in on lazy afternoons after coming back from the beach. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes and appliances and bedrooms all had their own bathrooms, which is good when you are traveling with friends. We had so much fun at island Stones and will miss waking up to that view every morning!
Amazing property, incredible views. And letâs open with location⊠close to the beaches, a 12 minute drive to Cruz Bay, and even s decently close drive to east end. The pool view looking out over Cinnamon was amazing. Bedrooms are well furnished. We just lived everything about our stay! Thanks, John, for taking care of us!
You cannot beat the view. I think I took at least 100 photos of just the view. Kids loved the game room and the pool. Thanks for a great vacation! See you again soon Island stones
General thoughts: -Driveway can hold 3 cars, but requires some maneuvering to drive out forward.
-Recommend larger kitchen garbage can.
-Thanks to Nellie. She got another coffee pot for our large group.
Property is amazing, great space for 4 couples. The VIEW!!! St. John is breath taking, everyone, even beyond the property is so focused on an amazing vacation. We had one small issue and the property manager had it corrected in 20 minutes. Will book again, no hesitation! Great communication with the people that manage this property!
The property is amazing! The views are absolutely stunning and the pictures online donât give it justice. The game room was super fun with pool, darts and fuse ball. We need some lights fixed and a couple items for the kitchen & the property management was so responsive! We canât wait to go back.
Great house with tons of privacy even if you have a large group since it is so spread out. Pool deck and view is unreal. Highly recommend. About 5 mins from Cinnamon Bay which in my opinion is the best beach on the island.
John and Vicky Daly are Veterinarians in Harrisonburg, Virginia. When not practicing medicine in the job they love, John and Vicky and daughter Aidan visit St John as often as possible.
While St John has always been our favorite place on earth, by far Catherineberg is the nicest location on all of St John. There are few prized parcels in this coveted location and you hardly know there is another property around. Located right in the middle of St John's north shore National Park, the views are some of the best on the planet. The convenience to the north shore beaches yet close to town is another factor in our choosing this location. The feel of Old St John with the nearby Catherineberg ruins adds a special uniqueness.
