Great place, amazing views

Further out on East End than I’ve previously stayed, but this is a very clean, nicely maintained villa in a spectacular setting. Athena was great to work with. Not for the faint of heart if you go out to eat and return after dark. We cooked in for most dinners, so it was great.

An incredible stay!

The photos in this listing do not do it justice! It is a very nice home with an incredible view. The breeze is more of a wind at this location but it definitely helped to keep us and the house cool so that was fine by us.The house has everything we needed: kitchen basics and some extras, beach and bath towels, beach chairs, a cooler, dish soap, extra paper towels and toilet paper. Directions to the property were very helpful. Driving across the island is an adventure all in itself but very worth it to find the privacy and view.

Absolutely beautiful location, private

Love the East end in general, this property is worth the drive for sure, Many properties take very convenient photos for VRBO, this listing is very honest, and you get what you pay for. You can literally see one structure from the pool deck , that's it. It's very remote

Great location on the East End

We had a fun time in St John and enjoyed this great property. The house is well crafted with very comfortable high ceilings in the main living area and deck, lovely workmanship on the stone and shell walls. The outdoor shower has a window with a spectacular view! 180 degrees of ocean, this home is on a point😎

Great views, excellent snorkeling, peaceful stay

The location is a bit out of the way, but that means less tourists and traffic. The snorkeling below the house is steps away and is amazing. The house was spotless and well stocked. It was nice being able to have/bring a small cooler to the beach! We were there during March and weather was nice. Got a little stuffy at night but other than that an memorable visit to St John’s!

SO beautiful!

East End Seascapes is a wonder and we had a wonderful two weeks there. The kitchen is well equipped, there was more than enough room for two of us, the views are unending. Really the only negative (which is also a positive) is that it is a long challenging ride, even from Coral Bay. But that is mostly made up for by being able to see the sunrise from master bedroom and the sunset from the pool. Our stay will stay with us for a lovely long time.

Just what we needed

As other reviews stated…the VIEWS are breathtaking! It was our first time staying on the East End and we enjoyed most of it. If you’re planning on lots of trips to the west end, driving can be tricky but that’s a choice. KM and Athena are awesome. Both are knowledgeable about what to do and where to go based on your interests. The house is charming and has everything you need for a secluded get away. The local beaches are quiet with a nice variety of wildlife. I highly recommend this property and management. We are missing the sounds of the waves putting us to sleep and waking us up!

Priceless Views

This property is a true example of million dollar view. We arrived after dark which was a daunting exercise so follow those directions closely. To wake up and experience those oceanviews with the sounds of the waves crashing.... Memories forever. Home was clean and tidy. The neighborhood was serene. Easy drive to many top beaches and Coral Bay. The minor detractions were WiFi is limited to certain areas of the home. And television is limited but we didn't need it, too much to explore and experience in St. John.

Seclusion with Endless Ocean Views

Our stay on the east end of St. John was fantastic. The house offered us the privacy we desired and all the activities the area offers. The pool was refreshing at any hour, we spent time in it after returning from hikes in the national park and while star gazing at night. During the day, resident Iguanas didn't seem to mind sharing the pool deck with us. The ocean waves below the house crashing on the rocks were a soothing background for sleeping. Just a short five minutes away was Hansen Bay beach, which was not very crowded being it is on the east end. We enjoyed plenty of sun and ocean breezes. The highlight of our beach trip was snorkeling with sea turtles and stingrays!! Athena was extremely helpful and accommodating. Her directions to the house were spot on. Just keep in mind you share the road with lots of goats and donkeys. Due to the weather there was an increase in biting insects and with no AC in the house, those susceptible to bug bites might be uncomfortable sleeping. The ceiling fans and floor fans helped to the keep the air moving. The house is a perfect spot for a romantic getaway or just somewhere out of the way to de-escalate from demands of daily life. Island time awaits.

Tranquility By The Sea

My husband and I have been coming to St John for over 15 years now. In the past we stayed on the Cruz Bay side of the island. We started gravitating towards Coral Bay more and more the past few stays. We love to hike and snorkel and be away from it all. This year we needed peace and quiet and alone time away from crowds. This villa was right on point. It was quite a drive to the other side of the island but so worth it. The roads are in need of some repair but once you reach the villa all your cares melt away. The villa was well appointed with everything we needed. The pool was a nice treat after a day of hiking and snorkeling. We love to cook so we made most of our meals right at "home" eating al fresco overlooking the ocean. Athena was easy to communicate with although we never had any issues during our stay. Cell service can be spotty though. If you're looking for peace and quiet and the sound of waves to lull you to sleep this is your place. If you're looking for a place to walk to dinner and bars you should stay on the Cruz Bay side. Definitely be prepared to rent a jeep. We will look no further when we need to stay on St John again. We have found our home away from home at East Side Seascape.

Slice of Paradise

My wife and I celebrated our ten-year anniversary at this lovely villa overlooking the East End peninsula. Located four miles east of Coral Bay, past some hilly climbs and switchbacks, we found the area to be quiet and relaxed, much different than what we found in St Thomas and Cruz Bay on our way over. The open main floor was bright and airy with plenty of fans and cross breezes. We were at first a little concerned that there was no AC, but even the bedrooms have good breezes at night. Exiting out the screen door to the back covered porch you have a perfect vantage point to see sail boats and happy hummingbirds, and not to mention the infinity pool area below. We spent many hours just listening to the ocean waves and soaking in the rays. The property managers, Athena and Jay were incredibly personable, sweet, and helpful. They let us know about their favorite restaurants nearby, where to snorkel, where to pick up groceries, and to make sure that we closed the gate to the driveway - so we weren’t surprised by wandering donkeys and goats! 😊 We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning to St John, and hopefully the East End Seascape (if there is an opening). In the meantime, we’re going to hang on to that East End vibe!

Beautiful location and home!

We enjoyed our stay at East End Seascape even though it was one of the hottest weeks in our hosts' memory. The views and remote location are perfect if you love the sound of the sea and want to get away from it all. The house is clean and has much of what you need. The pool and snorkeling at the association pebble beach are great, and many amazing beaches are reachable in 5-20 min drive --definitely by 4WD. The hosts did a good job reaching out to make sure we found the place, but we did have a couple of miscommunications. Overall, friendly and gracious. 2 things to be aware of... 1. We visited in the first week of June and there was a heat advisory for the entire week. No A/C. The hosts provide floor fans and there are ceiling fans, & prevailing winds helped keep the air moving. However, if you are sensitive to the heat and get weather as warm and humid as us, sleeping could be a challenge. I only mention because none of the other reviews did. Maybe an outlier? Research it. 2. Because of the remote location and the multiple legs of getting to St. John (connecting flights, ferry, drive), there is a good chance of arriving in the dark, and finding the place is a challenge. Directions are provided and are accurate, but they are written in paragraph form that isn't easy to read in the dark and cell service is spotty making phone navigation a near impossible. I suggest that the hosts provide bullet point directions and clocking the distances of land marks. Great home!

Many other houses to choose from with great views. This is not the one!!

After multiple attempts to contact the host regarding beaches in the area and ultimately access to the house, we finally heard back as we were getting on the Ferry in St. Thomas informing us that the house was open without any directions or warnings of the treacherous drive (especially close to the house). The house has no identifiable marks and we made the mistake of driving past the house to another where it was impossible to turn around with a cliff on one side of the one lane road. We had to back two rental cars 100 yards in the dark. It is not easy to find at all and can be dangerous at night. The house was not clean when we arrived. The kitchen was outdated with dirty appliances. We spent the first day cleaning the house. The host then charged us $150 for "stained" bath towels that needed to be replaced anyway and said she would "waive the extra cleaning fee". We cleaned the house top to bottom before we left, leaving it far cleaner than when we arrived. This was a family vacation before our girls go off to college. In hindsight we should not have stayed at this house and in the future we will never stay here again. It was a beautiful view, but honestly there are many beautiful rentals to choose from with great views that are more convenient and easier to navigate. We cleaned the house top to bottom when we got there and and the host "waived" the extra cleaning fee out of "Good will?" and charged us for bath towels that need to be replaced anyway. Not worth it!

Breathtaking Property

This house is truly paradise. As other reviews have stated, the photos simply do not do it justice. The water views from every space in the house are amazing. Sunset views from the upper deck took my breath away. The pool was great, and my teens hung out there for hours. The neighborhood shared beach that is about a 10 minute walk down the road, and is a perfect snorkeling spot with a large natural underwater rock formation just off shore, teaming with coral and fish. The house is at the quiet end of the island, and you will definitely need a Jeep to get there. The layout was perfect for my family, my teens had two bedrooms downstairs and we took the upstairs bedroom. Everyone had a queen bed and their own ensuite bathroom, making this an ideal spot for couples vacations as well. The place is clean and well equipped. The kitchen is larger than it appear in the photos and we cooked every meal at home all week. I have stayed at many VRBO properties and this one is a gem! Cons: My only complaints were minimal compared to how fantastic this rental is. The living room furniture is uncomfortable (but we barely stayed inside, so it wasn’t an issue). The ensuite bathroom door upstairs didn’t latch and would pop open with the breeze, and unfortunately you can see directly to the toilet from the living room. After one incident we learned to close the bedroom door as well when using that bathroom. The 10 minute trek to the neighborhood beach is fairly steep with loose sand and pebbles, and would not be accessible to anyone with walking difficulties.

A perfect island getaway

This place was absolutely perfect. Views of the ocean in all directions, peaceful and private and well as clean and comfortable. In the morning we watched the birds and sea turtles down on the water, and in the evenings watched the sun set over the island while sitting by the pool and listening to the waves on the rocks. This property is on the quiet side of the island so you really feel like you are away from it all, and the ocean breeze keeps it cool and bug free. It is almost at the end of an unpaved road, so not many neighbors except the iguanas sunning themselves on the rocks. Athena and Jay were great about giving us directions and were available to help anytime. I am already dreaming of returning to this perfect island getaway.
