About this property

The Peter Bay 1BR Honeymoon Suite at St. John's Most Prestigious Address

The Peter Bay Honeymoon Suite is a romantic 1BR/1BA villa overlooking the breathtaking Caribbean panoramas of St. John's north shore. Located at the exclusive gated community of Peter Bay Estate, the Peter Bay Honeymoon Suite occupies the lower level of the Peter Bay Gatehouse Villa which consists of two 1BRs. The lower level suite is the Honeymoon Suite, and the upper level suite is the Penthouse Suite. Each suite is private, and self-contained with separate entrances. The Penthouse Suite, and the Honeymoon Suite can each accommodate an additional two guests in the living room queen sleeper sofa. Both the Honeymoon Suite and the Penthouse Suite can be rented together as a 2BR / 2BA.

At the Peter Bay Honeymoon suite, you are surrounded by the pristine turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and emerald green hills known as St. John's north shore. From the spacious balcony and living room and your views from the Peter Bay Honeymoon Suite are exquisite, and very special.

The Peter Bay Gatehouse, architecturally designed in the old-world style of a 17th century Danish Mill Tower, as seen at the Annaberg & Catherineberg historical sites, is a St. John landmark as the historical period Gatehouse is located at the gate entrance to the exclusive Peter Bay Estate community, overlooking the majestic U.S. & British Virgin Islands.

Within this Danish Tower design, The Honeymoon Suite is a spacious 1000 sq ft. 1BR/1BA designed in old-world elegance. The comfortable living room, and large exterior balcony look out to the magnificent Caribbean. The lovely bedroom with its curved walls taking on the circular shape of the exterior mill design has a romantic, king size four poster bed. There is a full kitchen with a breakfast bar, and alfresco dining on the ocean view balcony with a dining table for 4. The spacious bathroom with garden shower is designed in beautiful island stone & classic tile.

The ocean view balcony of the Honeymoon Suite has gorgeous views of the beautiful U.S. & British Virgin islands. By evening, the stars of the north shore sky shine brighter, and the glimmering lights of Jost Van Dyke, and Tortola in the distance define romance in the Caribbean.

The Peter Bay Honeymoon Suite has ceiling fans, wifi & phone, satellite TV, an outdoor grill, all linens & towels, a laundry room, & private parking. The bedroom is air conditioned.

Peter Bay Estate is considered St. John's most prestigious address due to the multi-million dollar villas drawn to this location by the majesty and awe-inspiring beauty of its Caribbean setting. Peter Bay Estate is one of the very few parcels of pristine north shore land that was not deeded to the National Park by Lawrence Rockefeller in the 1950s. Today, the Peter Bay community remains tranquil, peaceful, private and exceptionally scenic, surrounded on all sides by National Park forests, waters and reefs.

The Peter Bay Honeymoon Suite is located in the upper row of Villas that stretches across the exclusive north shore neighborhood of lower Peter Bay. It is about a 5-minute walk from your villa to the white sands and turquoise waters of Peter Bay Beach, exclusive to you as a Peter Bay VIP guest. In addition, you are about a one minute drive to Trunk Bay Beach, and a 3 minute drive to Cinnamon Bay Beach.

Your Peter Bay north shore neighborhood consists of beach after beach of 13 world-class beaches!
Should you choose one beautiful beach a day to enjoy, you will run out of days before you run out of beaches. The Peter Bay Honeymoon Suite is a very special world-class villa for those seeking romance, serenity, and tropical majesty.

This property has a 30kw generator capable of running the entire property.

Excellent stay

The Honeymoon suite was very comfortable. The views are fantastic! We had a private chef come in and he found the kitchen to be adequate to provide the service. Tommy was an exceptional point of contact and helped out with any questions or concerns we had in a prompt manner. Richard the owner was very communicative as well. Would definitely again.

Beautiful views but . . .

We were pleased with the excellent location, beautiful views from the spacious veranda and lovely private beach. The property manager and owner were very responsive, and we appreciated being met at the ferry. However, during a hard rain the first night, we had puddles in the bedroom and bathroom and the bathroom counter was soaked. Per the owner, this can happen occasionally with heavy rains, but we were not warned ahead of time. In addition, the indoor space would benefit from a refresh, including better/more inviting lighting and patching/painting a wall with cracks in the bedroom.

Beautiful

Peter Bay is a great location, and the Gatehouse is very nice for two people. My only suggestions would be for a map from Cruz Bay to the Peter Bay gate entrance, and for a resort map, particularly the path to the beach. It is a steep walk and not being sure we were headed the right way was a bit concerning on day one. Other than that, absolutely perfect location and accommodations. We will be back!

Great stay in Peter Bay

If you want a hilltop stay on St. John with incredible views and top notch accommodations then this is a great choice. Its pretty easy to find, only about 15 min from town and within a very short drive of a number of exquisite Caribbean beaches. The place itself is nicely furnished, has a great deck, serviceable, well stocked kitchen, beautiful bathroom, the bed is comfortable and parking is straightforward. It is expensive so make sure that walking to the beach is not a big factor for you, because in this place you are paying for a great view from high above the beach. The beach at Peter Bay is best reached by driving downhill to get as close as you as you can get and then there is a walk of 5 min or so on a pretty beat up path. We instead mostly opted to drive the 2 min to Trunk Bay as our go to beach. Yes its got an entry fee but it is flat out gorgeous, not crowded when we were there in October, and the snorkeling is pretty good as well.

Peter Bay Gatehouse is Paradise

This was our first trip to St. John for our honeymoon and our stay was amazing. The listing will entice you, but the real thing is breathtaking and beyond our expectations. The Honeymoon Suite is well equipped, spacious, and you’ll be continuously mesmerized by the view of Peter Bay, Cinnamon Bay beach, and Maho Bay beach from your large, private porch. Tommy was a wonderful host and made everything so much easier when we arrived. He helped with orienting us to the property, but also provided helpful information on navigating our way around. The location is very private, but not far from any of the island you want to explore. We would recommend renting a jeep/car if staying here for convenience of getting around anytime you want, plus it’s fun to drive on the left side of the road. We would love to come back someday to celebrate an anniversary or just a getaway. Thank you Richard and Tommy for making our honeymoon incredible.

Great week on St John

My wife and I visit St John every year and this is by far the best property we have stayed at. Check in was smooth and welcoming and the property was simply amazing. Close to town and very close to our two favorite beaches - Trunk Bay and Maho. We will definitely be returning here in the future!

Hi Richard, We loved the first floor of the Gate House! The accommodations, the view, and the walk to the private beach. Not to mention that we were in a gated community that was lovely,and it was quiet. We drove around the island and determined that this was the best place on the island to be. It was so nice to meet you! Your properties are wonderful, and will look forward to reserving them again. Take care, Rod and Susan Fisher

Gatehouse Review

Our third trip to St. John. All three times my wife and I stayed at the gatehouse. Previous two trips we stayed in the upper unit. This most recent visit, my wife and I stayed in the lower unit and another couple in the upper. Very, very elegant house with spectacular views. Enjoyed the views, the tub, the décor. Walked down to Peter Bay for some pretty good snorkeling. Just a nice, well appointed house to get away from it all in comfort and privacy. Previous visits we were met on-time and escorted to the Gatehouse with a nice vehicle and small welcoming food/snack basket. This trip, there was a much more casual greeting with none of the niceties of previous visits. Our host that met us was not there when we arrived (about 10-minutes late). We also had to call several times and were left with a bit of uncertainty that someone was expecting us and would show up to meet us. Our comments for improvement would be to bring the previous high level of meeting and welcoming back again. Also, consider installing some mosquito zappers in the unit. Other than that, just fantastic.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Matheny

Host profile image
Richard Matheny, President of Suite St. John Luxury Villas, owns and manages The Peter Bay Gatehouse. Richard has owned vacation property on St. John for over 25 years and maintains The Peter Bay Gatehouse Suites to the high standards of connoisseurs of elegant Caribbean living. Richard and his wife, Linda, enjoy the majesty and tranquility of St. John's north shore panoramas viewed from the Peter Bay Gatehouse. On family trips, Richard & Linda enjoy sitting on the white sand of Peter Bay beach watching their family snorkeling and exploring Peter Bay.

Why they chose this property

The Peter Bay Gatehouse is within the gated community of Peter Bay Estate, St. John, VI's most prestigious address. Peter Bay Estate is one of the few parcels of pristine North Shore land that was not deeded to the Virgin Islands National Park. It is one of the very few St. John properties with a private white sand beach. The Peter Bay Gatehouse is private, tranquil, and surrounded on all sides by the Virgin Islands National Park. The views from The Peter Bay Gatehouse are breathtaking, the Peter Bay Gatehouse suites are the only 1BRs on the North Shore, and famous world-class beaches are 3-10 minutes away. Walk to Peter Bay Beach (7 minutes), or drive to Trunk Bay Beach (3 minutes), and Cinnamon Bay Beach (10 minutes). All these factors were foremost in deciding on the purchase of the Peter Bay Gatehouse.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! The exquisite Peter Bay Gatehouse is sandwiched halfway between two of the most beautiful beaches in the world - Trunk and Cinnamon Bay. Trunk Beach is about a 1 minute drive from the Gatehouse, and Cinnamon Beach is about a 3 minute drive. Peter Bay's own private Peter Bay Beach has some of the best snorkeling on the Island, yet is extremely private since Peter Bay is a gated community. In addition the remainder of the magnificent North Shore beaches are also just minutes away. And the elegant Peter Bay Gatehouse Suites - The Honeymoon Suite, and The Penthouse Suite are the only 1bedrooms on the North Shore.
