Gorgeous View, Beach Access, Swimming Pool, Kayak, Quiet Privacy - the East End
Want to get away from it all? Spend some days at a retreat away from it all?The East End of St. John is that special place to do it!
Come enjoy what Long Bay Getaway Retreat has in store for you, your special someone, and your whole family!
This lovely cottage retreat 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 Retreat has everything for you: a nicely stocked kitchen, air conditioned bedrooms, comfortable furnishings, an intimate and colorfully night-lit private pool, fast internet, lovely native fruit trees and plants, abundant wildlife, and the unending peace you need to enjoy a planned or unplanned retreat. We even have an acoustic guitar to learn or play your favorite accompanying music! With few neighbors except the animals, the East End is yours for a private, quiet retreat to unwind and get away from every worry.
If you choose to leave this beautiful home and explore St. John, you are still less than a half hour drive from the famous North side beaches including Trunk Bay, Maho Bay, Cinnamon Bay, and Hawksnest Beach. 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 (turtles, fish, squid, Pelican Rock, etc) and we have our nice kayak down by the water for your personal use - just carry our paddle down and bring it back up.
There are wonderful old St. John type island amenities near the property, including Sloop Jones' shop just three houses away for one-of-a-kind clothing and art and the local East End families at Hansen Bay and nearby beaches. The East End is the "other side" of St. John - quiet, natural, private, incredible sunsets by the pool, yoga on the pool deck, grilling on the upper deck, and deep star gazing in the natural dark of this secluded retreat area.
If you prefer natural peace and solitude, you will love this part of the island! Long Bay Getaway is designed to be a retreat type space on this special, magic part of the island and our owner family can help you plan an actual retreat experience with music, movement, spiritual engagement, or vigorous healthy activity. Or just come and live here on this part of the island for a larger number of days with our reasonable pricing and long stay deals.
We stay personally throughout the year and have amazing staff and friends doing retreats all the time - join the Long Bay Getaway Retreat community!
