Property Description
A fantastic home for families or multiple couples to enjoy peace and tranquility, with stunning ocean views, a large pool, and the convenience of Cruz Bay only minutes away. Terrapin Station (formerly known as Stella Bella) underwent a major renovation in 2020 that included an all-new kitchen, master bath, guest suite, AC systems and furnishings. The property retains the charms of old St. John while providing the modern conveniences you expect in a vacation home.
The upstairs has an open floor plan with amazing views. The chef-worthy kitchen sits just above a sunken living and dining area, allowing everyone to gather during meal time and social hour - or to watch a game on the 60” screen. Outside the living room is an expansive deck that overlooks Chocolate Hole and Hart Bay, with St Thomas to the west and St Croix to the south.
Adjoining the living area are two equal-sized primary suites. Each suite has its own private bath and large covered screened-n porch. Both bedrooms are over 350 sf and feature new king-size beds plus a separate day bed for napping…or keeping little ones close by.
The other two bedrooms are downstairs. Both are mini-apartments with private baths, kitchenettes and separate entrances – perfect for in-laws or outlaws who need privacy. Bedroom #3 is set up like a two-room hotel suite, with a king-size bed in one room and space for a full size air mattress in the separate living area. Bedroom #4 is an efficiency configuration, with a queen-size bed and a full kitchen. The views are essentially identical from all four of the villa’s bedrooms.
There are other great features throughout the house. For starters, 100% of the living area is air conditioned, which isn’t typical on St John. Terrapin Station has one of the island’s larger pools – and it’s private enough for skinny-dipping! If cooking is your thing, the well-appointed kitchen, two refrigerators and an outdoor grill will make your week. Fast internet service, a brand new laundry room, Tesla Power Walls to keep the lights on during a power outage, and parking for 3+ vehicles makes this a great place to call your island home.

We had a great time at Terrapin Station.It was perfect for our family of 4 plus 2 friends.Katja was an awesome host. She was very responsive and helpful with all our questions. Kitchen was great. It has all you need. There is even an extra refrigerator, which was helpful for all our beverages. The beds were extremely comfortable and had great views with great AC in the bedrooms.We loved that they had beach chairs and floats for us to take to the different beaches around the island. Highly recommend this house.

Spring break
The property was centrally located to Cruz Bay and we had easy access to all points of interest. A Jeep is a must have. The views were unparalleled and for our son’s final high school spring break we could not have picked a better place.

Beautiful Villa with Steep Driveway
The villa was gorgeous, and the four separate rooms (including two self-contained apartments) were perfect for giving our extended family privacy during our stay. The driveway was extremely steep - you will need to rent cars with 4-wheel drive to make it to the top (and every trip up and down was still a little nerve-wracking, even in a Jeep). FYI - the markets are extremely accessible, and there is no reason to pay additional fees for provisioning services. Overall, we loved our stay!!

Perfect house for a family vacation in St John
This house was perfect for our family vacation. The layout is great- with two large bedrooms adjacent to the kitchen/dining area and then two additional bedrooms that are more self-contained and private downstairs. These work well for older kids or friends. The house had everything we needed for cooking, grilling, beach trips in the national park (about 15-20 min away) and pool time. And the pool is large and heavenly! We will definitely be back. I would recommend this home for groups with children 7 as the many stairs and open pool area could be harder on families with little children.

Paradise
This property is paradise with incredible views of the water! The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. The house is clean and well appointed with plenty of private space for all! The kitchen has everything you need to make a fabulous meal as well as a good sized gas grill on the deck! Great communication with Katja, the property manager! We loved the authentic Caribbean charm of this home and we hope to visit again next year!

Beautiful property
Overall everything was perfect. The location is very convenient to Cruz Bay and the ferry terminal. We had six people total and it was more than enough room. We had two older teenage children and they were able to use the downstairs rooms, had those children been any younger and the layout of the house would have been a little awkward. The amenities provided were extremely helpful. Everything was very clean and well set up. The furniture is lovely and the living room is very comfortable. I have nothing negative to say everything was very nice at this Villa!
