The Peter Bay 1BR Penthouse Suite at St John's Most Prestigious Address
The Peter Bay Penthouse 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 Penthouse Suite occupies the upper 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 Penthouse Suite and the Honeymoon Suite can be rented together as a 2BR / 2BA.
At the Peter Bay Penthouse 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 dramatic upper level balcony and living room and your view from the Peter Bay Penthouse Suite is a magnificent panorama from the British Island of Jost Van Dyke across Thatch & Mary point, to the U.S. Virgin Islands beaches of Francis Bay, Maho Bay, and Cinnamon Bay.
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 upper level Penthouse 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 a spectacular Caribbean view. 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 mini-kitchen with microwave, a breakfast bar, outdoor grill, 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 Penthouse 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 Penthouse 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 U.S. Virgin Islands 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 Penthouse 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 Penthouse 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.

Property was excellent for a couple, exactly as described. Host was welcoming and everything was clean and in order. Location is great - a very short walk to Trunk Bay. We have stayed on St John many times and this property is perfect for two people.
My husband and I absolutely loved our stay in St John! The Peter Bay Gatehouse was more than we imagined. Spectacular views, wonderful accommodations and the beach was perfect! Our host, Tommy, was the absolute best!! He went above and beyond to make our stay perfect!! Very responsive and ensured everything was working before he left. We highly recommend this property and will definitely be back!!!
This is a beautiful property that exceeded our expectations, the views are incredible. Had all the necessary amenities, was clean, and beautiful artwork, architecture, and furniture. Tommy was attentive and very helpful for anything at all you need from check in, general questions, and check out. Very convenient 1-2 min drive to both cinnamon and trunk. Grounds and architecture were sooo cool. Highly recommend, I will definitely stay here when we return to St. John.

We loved the view and the location of this spectacular rental. The only drawback was the mosquitos getting in and biting us. It would be wonderful if you could screen the doors out to the patio to keep them out or install HVAC in the main area!
This suite was perfect for our visit to St John. The view is lovely, the location perfect for getting to nearby North Shore beaches, and the furnishings and linens are very comfortable, especially the gorgeous bedroom tucked into a stone tower next to the main structure. The small kitchen was well equipped and the grill wasn’t operate for grilled fish. The manager Tommy was friendly and informative about island happenings. We plan to return for another visit in the future.
This place has an amazing location and view. The only problem was the roof leaked when it rained and there was no way to keep mosquitos out so we woke up everyday with new bites. They also did not provide shampoo, conditioner or lotion, which has been standard at all other VRBO’s we’ve rented so that was a surprise to us so we had to purchase our own after arrival.
The view. Great location. Excellent communication. A smidge pricey and there are some things in the unit that could be updated. Bed being too soft was our most significant issue.Unrelated to the property: Roads on St. John require continual attention. Most were fine for our Nissan Kicks—and you are better off in a smaller car if you are only 2 people. I should have stayed off Highway 206. For that, a jeep would have been better. Also skip going to Fort Frederick Ruins.
The location was terrific and close to all the best beaches. The host and staff were very responsive and accommodating , although the kitchen was small it was well appointed and the view from the rooms was amazing!

Excellent room (Penthouse) great view. Lost power/electricity, for 18 hours, had no A/C on last night. Difficult to sleep in 76-77* nights.
About a 20-min drive up windy north shore rd from Cruz Bay, you’ll sit high in a cliff overlooking Cinnamon Bay. You can hear the waves hit the shore and the hills rise around you covered in thick growth. It feels like your own tropical planet! Well outfitted for a unique space, it is perfect for a romantic escape. St. John is absolutely incredible and this place is a gem!
Of course, the island is everything. And the gatehouse is perfect when you leave the kids home (first time in16 years). This was our first time staying on this side and I don't think it could have been better. Our only regret was waiting for the last day to hit the private beach. We were the only two on the beach and it's a beautiful beach. The location of this villa is perfect, the view is perfect and the villa itself is fantastic. Hope to be back soon.
The property was fantastic. The scenery was breathtaking. My family and I loved it. The property was exactly as described. We encountered no problems. The property manager, Tommy, was great and very helpful. The car rental lost our reservation for a jeep. Tommy was a tremendous help in assisting us in renting a jeep at the last minute. We definitely will stay there again.

Amazing location
Would advise reading the listing and *just the bedroom* is air conditioned. Great location and view, but hot and sweaty stay. If we were high maintenance, we would have left after night 1. Made the most of it but wouldn’t stay here again. Felt a little duped with the listing.
This property was a great get away. We enjoyed having a private beach to ourselves within walking distance of the house. There was only one day where we encountered other people on the beach and the property is conveniently located close to town for groceries or grabbing dinner. It's also less than 5 minutes to other public beaches with activities. The property is very comfortable for two and is well appointed. Thomas, the property manager, was very communicative and helpful. I'd love to come back.
We stayed 4 nights at the Peter Bay Gate house. What a great comfortable property with stunning views from every window! Centrally located and yet felt secluded, therefore a great combination. Tommy welcomed us and was super attentive, and helpful. Really went the extra mile to give us a seamless and great experience. It was hard to leave when our vacation was over! <3
Views and location were top notch. Accomodations we're very good. Bedroom and bathroom were spacious and comfortable. Common areas (patio, living room, kitchen) were a bit small. Ok for two but would be crowded with any more. VRBO listing included a hot tub which is no longer there. The kitchen was ok, toaster and coffee pot had some issues. As people who like to cook when traveling, we made it work.
