Gatehouse at Peter Bay (Lower)

Perched high atop a hillside on St. John's venerated North Shore, the perfectly situated Gatehouse at exclusive, gated Peter Bay beckons with dramatic architecture, fabulous vistas and lush tropical landscaping. Surrounded by protected National Park and only a short walk from Peter Bay's private white sand beach, Gatehouse is an escapist's dream of serenity, elegance and scenic beauty.

Two self-contained suites with separate private entrances provide an intimate experience for a couple or, when both suites are rented together, the right mix of privacy and proximity for friends. There are also sleeper sofas on both levels to accommodate additional guests.

The 1,000 square foot suites (the lower suite is slightly larger with a full size kitchen) boast every comfort, including separate living rooms, air-conditioned bedrooms with King sized beds, spacious bathrooms, ceiling fans, fully appointed kitchens and outdoor grills.

Each has a private terrace and hot tub with breathtaking views across Cinnamon, Francis and Maho Bays, toward Jost Van Dyke and Tortola.

Gatehouse embodies casual elegance in a whimsical island atmosphere. Stone from all three U.S. Virgin Islands, coral tile from the Yucatan, commissioned stained-glass windows, iron gates, antique bricks and exotic Brazilian hardwoods combine to create an exquisite accommodation, in form reminiscent of the 18th Century Danish sugar mill ruins that still dot the island.

The beach at Peter Bay is as pristine as any along St. John's North Shore. Because it is private, it has the added advantage of having a truly untouched, "virgin" quality. If you prefer a more "full service" experience, Gatehouse is nestled between two of the world's most famous beach destinations, Trunk Bay to the west and Cinnamon Bay to the east.

Gatehouse is truly in the perfect location to enjoy all that St. John has to offer, from Cruz Bay, a mere seven minute ride away, to Coral Bay, only a little bit further. And all of the National Park beaches and most of the Park's hiking trails are closer still.

Come and experience the best of the Caribbean - Gatehouse at Peter Bay. Completely refurbished and renovated in 2005, it is one of the few places in the world where you can still enjoy the elegance, serenity and unspoiled beauty of a bygone era.
