Upon your arrival to the island, your party can hop into one of the open-aired taxis to take up to the house. These will be lined up waiting for you off the ferry. Your host will meet you at the house.
If you added the house jeep, it will be waiting for you in the driveway.
Once at the house, you will be given a tour and your host will answer any questions you may have.

As you arrive at your paradise retreat, you'll be greeted by a huge private driveway making unloading luggage and provisions easy. Enter the beautiful foyer and you'll find two luxury king bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms on this same level. On the lower level, you'll discover a third luxury master ensuite bedroom, gourmet chef's kitchen, laundry room, and living area with lots of comfortable seating. Step outside to the secluded private pool, cozy outdoor oasis meditation space, plenty of comfortable seating, and grilling area, perfect for cooking up the fresh local catch of the day.

Our house overlooks Chocolate Hole, and yes — Chocolate Hole Beach is technically walkable! It takes about 10 minutes, but keep in mind there are a couple of steep hills along the way. It's great for a morning or evening stroll, though most guests prefer to drive due to the terrain.
In general, most homes on St. John aren’t walkable to the beaches since villas are typically built up in the hills for the incredible views. That said, St. John is a small island (just 8 by 3 miles), and many of the most beautiful beaches — like Trunk Bay, Maho, and Hawksnest — are just a 10–12 minute scenic drive from the house. You’ll probably want to stop along the way to take photos!
Our location is one of the closest to both Cruz Bay and the North Shore beaches, making it easy to get around. You can rent a Jeep to explore at your own pace or take one of the open-air taxis that run throughout the day.
