The usually steady ocean breezes mean mosquitos are rarely a problem here. If you are lucky enough to be here on a Sunday ‘in season’ take a short stroll down to Miss Lucy’s for their famous jazz brunch or if you are here during a full moon, their full moon party—or simply stay on the deck and listen to the music from there!

Bedrooms are arranged with a queen suite both upstairs and down and two XL twin (convertible to king) suites (one up and one down) – the bedroom set up insures privacy for all. Each room has a unique feel. Broadband WiFi and a landline ensure you can stay connected if you need to. Games for all ages are available– including St John’s own version of monopoly (St Johnopoly!) for evenings or should rain be in the forecast. Access to the pool is gated for family safety. The north side ‘edible garden’ contains macadamia nut, avocado, red papaya, pineapple, starfruit, cherry, and citrus trees—bananas and soursop are also on the property –lovely flowering plants and palms line the drive. Enjoy your days with hiking and snorkeling the many national park trails and reefs, boating or exploring some of the many colonial ruins, take in a morning yoga class at nearby Concordia Eco-resort (or arrange for a class at ‘home’ ) or, simply lie by the pool!
