Terrahawk: North Shore Location! Walk to Gibney Beach!

NEWLY RENOVATED IN 2023!

Just a short walk from some of St. John’s most beautiful beaches, Terrahawk is a villa that stands out from the rest. Only a handful of homes on the island are walking distance to the North Shore’s white sands, a fact you’ll definitely be taking advantage of during your stay. Cozy and comfortable, this charming two-bedroom island home is the perfect choice for guests who want to experience St. John’s purest pleasures.

From Terrahawk’s decks you can enjoy the stillness and stunning beauty of Hawksnest Bay and the cays beyond. Delightful trade winds carry the fragrance of cinnamon and bay rum throughout the house, and at night, you’ll be lulled to sleep by the gentle chirping of tree frogs and the softly lapping waves in the bay below. If you want to immerse yourself in the natural wonders that St. John has to offer, Terrahawk is the villa for you.

Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This villa has a great location, close to Cruz Bay with all the restaurants but not that far of a drive home. It is a great set up for two couples. The kitchen is adequate and the covered deck is the best place of the villa!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Terrahawk was fine rental at a fair price.Other then our preference to stay walking distance to town (parking has only gotten worse) our only complaint was overgrown foliage. There's a beautiful view there (potentially) A little trimming would help. Being able to walk to Oppenheimer was great.

First time on St. John

We enjoyed our stay here. The view was magnificent and it was across the street from Oppenheimer Beach. it bears noting that the driveway is very steep and can become slick when wet. there is one cab company on the island with smaller cabs which can come up the drive and you will need to reach out to them for rides if you don’t rent a car. The home itself is very striking, and the tiled showers with openings to the outside are an added bonus.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented from Catered To for many years and highly recommend them. Terrahawk is a special spot with perhaps the best location on St. John. Imagine having your own almost private beach with great snorkeling just a very short walk away! The small home is perfect for two or three. Furnishings are comfortable and the kitchen works very well for nights in. A/C and WiFi work perfectly and water for showers is always hot. The ideal location makes it easy to simply hail a safari taxi from the driveway to visit other North Shore Beaches and be dropped off at the same spot at day’s end. The drive to Cruz Bay is under ten minutes too! You could easily - and happily - spend your entire visit at Terrahawk and Oppenheimer Beach and go no where else! A gem!

Great house with a couple of quirks

The house was exactly as advertised, clean, well stocked and comfortable. The location was perfect, literally a three minute walk down the driveway to the beautiful Oppenheimer Beach. The only issues we had were that there was no hot water and that the internet went down. I called maintenance three times and they came out twice, but were unable to fix the water problem. Initially we thought it would not be a big deal, but when my husband became ill, the cold showers became very annoying. When the internet went down we had to drive into town to call maintenance. Note, we were told that they had recently installed a new water heater, but beware, it is not working properly. I'd suggest putting a claue in your contact.

Perfect, peaceful location with beautiful views and easy beach access! Highly recommend renting a 4x4 car as the driveway and surrounding areas have some steep hills.

From start to finish, our experience was wonderful. The team communicated with us quickly and provided all the information we would need for our stay. Jhelisa met us at the Starfish Market after we picked up our jeep/groceries and led us to the property. She was very thorough with her tour and answered all of our questions. The photos are a great representation of the villa but you can't really appreciate it until you are there! Stunning view. Comfortable beds, couch and outdoor furniture. Fully equipped kitchen. The high ceilings rock feature wall are beautiful. It is so bright and cheerful! The bonus is being right across from Oppenheimer Beach so you can literally walk to the end of the driveway and cross the road to get to a beach. The snorkeling there is great too! We saw turtles and loads of tropical fish! This place is a truly a 10 out of 10 stay and if I ever come back, I will be staying here.

Excellent Choice

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We know and love Gibney Beach in Hawksnest Bay - great beach, never crowded, great for swimming and Terrahawk is just above that beach. Terrahawk is set on the hill overlooking the bay, a few minutes walk down to the beach (note: steep climb back up, not for people with limitations). The house/villa is perfect, great layout and furnishings, including a terrace overlooking the sea. Definitely would rent again.

Great House in a Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 4th trip to St. John, each with a different villa. While all have been nice, this is the first one we will definitely be coming back to in the future. The location on the North Shore just above Oppenheimer Beach was ideal and made the whole vacation a breeze. 6 minutes to Cruz Bay and 10 minutes to Maho Bay. Almost everything you'd want is within a 10 minute drive, and you can walk down to the beach in 2 minutes without getting into your car. It just made everything easier, we could be more spontaneous, and we just had more time to do everything we wanted to do.The house itself was very nice, and suited our group very well with a central room and kitchen and two bedroom suites with outdoor showers on opposite sides. Big TV and comfy couch was nice for watching movies after a long day at the beaches. You could hear the waves from the beach, and we kept the sliding glass doors open (with screen doors) most of the time while we were up. The view is good, but not great. You can see the water, Caneel and beyond, but being down low and amongst the trees, you don't get the majestic views I've had at other villas. But, the location was well worth this small trade off.The renting experience with Catered To was smooth and easy, and the home itself was well stocked with beach items, towels and even some snack food and drinks.Again... you can not beat this location. We will stay here again in the future.
