Enter a place of calm, peace and tranquility, named for the mythical Bird who nested on the sea and calmed the waves. Halcyon is located on the east end of St. John (the part of St. John where the island peace is reminiscent of the old days-redolent with warm, sunny, laid back days, good books, comfortable chairs and incredible views) on a peninsula that sticks out into historic Coral Bay, The Caribbean’s largest natural harbor. Rental includes right to beachfront property within walking distance.

St. John

(1) Principles of enjoying life here.

(A) Don’t get in too big a hurry. Flexibility and a laid back attitude are essential for a full appreciation of St. John.
(B) Don’t sweat the small stuff. This is, of course, a corollary of (A).
(C) If you see something you need, buy it. While we have a lot more available on St. John than we used to, don’t assume that you’ll find something cheaper or better elsewhere. Odds are that you won’t and when you go back to buy whatever it was, someone else will have already beat you to it.
(D) Thake the simplest course of action. Don’t complicate things unduly. Murphy’s Law rules on St. John as elsewhere.
(E) If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
(F) Take time to enjoy the magnificent views, the sea breezes, the varied beaches and the many different birds, shells, fish, plant life, and other wonders of the island. St. John is different. It is a place to be explored at leisure according to your particular tastes. As nice as Halcyon is, don’t get housebound to the exclusion of exploration.

(2) Beaches-St. John’s greatest attraction is, of course, its beautiful beaches. Enjoy them. Listed below are our five favorites.

(A) Saltpond – 5 minutes away. Shady, tables and good snorkeling. A 10 minute walk down to the beach.
(B) Hawksnest – North Shore beach 20 minutes away, beautiful; bathrooms and changing areas available, good snorkeling, close to Cruz Bay.
(C) Lameshur – A few minutes beyond Salt Pond. Need 4 wheel drive to get over mountains. Private and beautiful.
(D) Cinnamon Bay – 15 minutes away, great beach but busy. Good cafeteria, bathrooms & showers, run by the National Park.
(E) Trunk Bay – one of the world’s most beautiful Beaches. Often crowded. Underwater snorkel trail; showers and snack bar available.

Rules of the House

(A) Enjoy yourself! Get on island time.
(B) Come again soon.
(C) Let us know anything you need.
