About this house rental
Want to get away from it all? Spend some days at a retreat away from it all?The East End of St. John is that special place to do it!
Come enjoy what Long Bay Getaway Retreat has in store for you, your special someone, and your whole family!
This lovely cottage retreat is nestled on the quiet and uncrowded East End of St. John in the Privateer Bay community. We invite couples seeking a private, natural, relaxing location with space to stretch out, small families looking for a safe and wild home base with easy private beach access, or two couples (or small group of friends) looking to share the fun and the cost (deals for 7 day stays or monthly). This 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom cottage (+ fun outdoor shower) has everything you need to get lost in your vacation away from any busy-ness. Long Bay Getaway Retreat has everything for you: a nicely stocked kitchen, air conditioned bedrooms, comfortable furnishings, an intimate and colorfully night-lit private pool, fast internet, lovely native fruit trees and plants, abundant wildlife, and the unending peace you need to enjoy a planned or unplanned retreat. We even have an acoustic guitar to learn or play your favorite accompanying music! With few neighbors except the animals, the East End is yours for a private, quiet retreat to unwind and get away from every worry.
If you choose to leave this beautiful home and explore St. John, you are still less than a half hour drive from the famous North side beaches including Trunk Bay, Maho Bay, Cinnamon Bay, and Hawksnest Beach. Or you can stay and relax at one of the secret top beaches near us, including Hansen Bay. As a guest at Long Bay Getaway, you also have private access to the secluded beach at Long Bay which is 500 steps from our property. The snorkeling is superb (turtles, fish, squid, Pelican Rock, etc) and we have our nice kayak down by the water for your personal use - just carry our paddle down and bring it back up.
There are wonderful old St. John type island amenities near the property, including Sloop Jones' shop just three houses away for one-of-a-kind clothing and art and the local East End families at Hansen Bay and nearby beaches. The East End is the "other side" of St. John - quiet, natural, private, incredible sunsets by the pool, yoga on the pool deck, grilling on the upper deck, and deep star gazing in the natural dark of this secluded retreat area.
If you prefer natural peace and solitude, you will love this part of the island! Long Bay Getaway is designed to be a retreat type space on this special, magic part of the island and our owner family can help you plan an actual retreat experience with music, movement, spiritual engagement, or vigorous healthy activity. Or just come and live here on this part of the island for a larger number of days with our reasonable pricing and long stay deals.
We stay personally throughout the year and have amazing staff and friends doing retreats all the time - join the Long Bay Getaway Retreat community!

The home was nice and met our needs well. We enjoyed eating our meals out on the deck and swimming in the pool. Everything worked well, until the extended power outage anyway! It was quiet with a nice view. Good communication with the host and property manager.

We absolutely loved our time at the beautiful Estate Hansen Bay. We stayed for eight days and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the island, discovering beaches, and hiking the nearby trails. We also took full advantage of the beach access down the hill, which is both walkable and drivable.The snorkeling off the private beach was incredible—we saw numerous turtles, nurse sharks, large puffer fish, octopuses, stingrays, and hundreds of stunning fish. Evenings spent in the pool were a highlight as well, all while taking in the breathtaking views.The owner, Ken, and the property manager, Jeremy, were exceptionally helpful throughout our planning and went above and beyond during our stay—even checking on us after all flights in the Caribbean were canceled.We highly recommend Estate Hansen Bay if you’re looking for a beautiful, secluded, peaceful, yet adventurous vacation.

If you are looking for a beautiful, peaceful and relaxing getaway, then look no further. The view from the property is world-class. The property itself with the pool was exactly what my wife and I were looking for. It’s nice and private, away from the busyness of Cruz Bay. Coral Bay is about a 10-15min drive. The north shore beaches add another 10-15mins and Cruz Bay is 30-45mins away. The drive anywhere you go is super scenic. A bit bumpy at times but nothing a jeep can’t handle. I’ve been to St John many times over the last 20 years and this is my favorite place that I’ve stayed. The East End and Coral Bay areas have some great beaches with awesome snorkeling. I would absolutely love to stay here again.

Great place but AC was broken in one room and very noisy in the other. Owner tried to address the broken AC but no part was available.
