The Teahouse Treehouse is a romantic St John Cottage rental that was handcrafted and built at tree level for astonishing ocean views. It was artfully situated on a lush tropical hillside, hidden into the dense trees for maximum privacy. You’ll love this treehouse vacation destination’s simple elegance surrounded by nature’s splendor,
The Teahouse Treehouse is one of the best reviewed properties on St John, with hundreds of 5 star reviews across multiple booking platforms.
Just wait until you hear the gentle music of the night rain on the gracefully sloped roof, then wake up to another magical sunrise filtering through the trees with breakfast on the front veranda and a view that is breathtaking. Teahouse Treehouse was hand-crafted by a local artisan and is the most unique and lovely St John cottage rental.
The Teahouse Treehouse's appeal is due in part to its natural surroundings and closeness with nature. Its gently curving natural stone stairway welcomes you up to its tranquil serenity. Hummingbirds and flowers flourish and it caters to romantic couples of any age who enjoy the beauty of nature. Oversized mahogany Shoji screen panel doors let light pass through by day and keep the rain out at night. Native hardwood floors, a magnificent queen-size teak bed—designed to be equally comfortable for daytime lounging, an antique West Indian plantation chair, a cabinet for clothes, and a small writing desk. Of course there's also high speed wi-fi. Everything you need.
The Teahouse Treehouse features the modern amenities you expect, cleverly adapted into its rustic indoor/outdoor surroundings. The under-roof teak outdoor galley kitchen faces beautifully designed native stone walls. The Treehouse seamlessly blends the inside with the outside—that’s because 75% of the house can be opened up to the beauty of nature at your whim by merely sliding the screen aside. So cool!
Walk down a short flight of stairs, past an outdoor shower and you’ll reach the garden level and a beautiful sitting area that overlooks the bay. This bricked area features a graceful tropical flower garden and a barbecue grill. The Travertine stone full bath features luxury European fixtures.

Fantastic
Very special and sweet retreat. We had a lot of fun. The teahouse itself is so well crafted! we loved the view, outdoor shower and outdoor kitchen. We made dinner 5 out of 7 evenings and had breakfast several days. First visit to St. John, was not prepared for the drive up the hill to the property. We got use to it quickly, but it is a steep climb. Driving on the entire island is a challenge but worth it and kind of fun! Thanks for the beach gear and cooking supplies. On site manager was awesome and easy to communicate with. If you want something very special and very unique this is it! PS the location to the best snorkeling at Salt Pond is great.

Haven nestled in nature
This one-of-a-kind Japanese style teahouse with a breathtaking view of Coral Bay provided us with a unique and enjoyable experience. It was tucked high up on the mountainside and surrounded by lush tropical foliage.
We received excellent communication from the property manager from the moment we made the reservation and it continued through the time we arrived. The amenities were as described and extras like beach chairs, snorkel gear, a cooler and beach tent were a bonus. We also loved soaking in the hot tub under the stars.
We cooked several meals in the open-air kitchen area and found it to be well equipped.
Staying in the Teahouse Treehouse was like living in a botanical garden with spectacular views.
The remote location requires a Jeep.

Heavenly retreat
The house was perfect for 2 people. Fantastic view. Loved the Japanese sliding doors and screens. Kitchen was easy to use and well stocked with excellent cookware. Grill very helpful to have as there is no oven. Friendly property manager addressed any and all issues promptly and communicated very well. Driveway is a rough go so you must have 4 WD and preferably a Jeep. Has very clean bathroom and excellent shower. It is outside, down some stairs which could be challenging for those who have to get up at night to use the facilities.

Our overall stay was excellent. Tea house Treehouse lived up to its booking. Private setting, spectacular views with breezy, airy living. Just what the doctor ordered. Would absolutely book again.

An Amazing Place!
We loved our stay at the Teahouse celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary! We wish we could sleep as sound at home as we did at the Teahouse Treehouse! The outdoor kitchen was one of our favorite rooms of the treehouse making our coffee and breakfast each day, as well as, grilling several dinners at night! The hot tub was perfect after a day of hiking or snorkeling! We look forward to another stay here in the future!

Sweet place, needs a little attention
This treehouse has a beautiful view, nice architecture, a responsive host, and is located in a safe neighborhood on a quiet part of the island. Two things need attention to make this a 5-star property: 1) mosquito mitigation (we were unable to keep them out of the treehouse and had a difficult time using the outdoor kitchen) and 2) property needs new towels and linens.

Awesome Villa
Had a great time after finally being able to come due to COVID 19. Owner communicated very well and was very flexible with the situation.
Property was great and had fantastic views. Feel like you are in nature the whole time.
Note if you like to sleep cold at night with AC, the villa might be a bit warm for you in the warmer months, but the villa has a couple fans that can be used to stay cool.

Wow! What a place!
Amazing, truly amazing cottage on St. John. To think I almost stayed at a Condo. Estate Calabash Boom is cozy and unique Japanese inspired gem. Immaculate inside and out, incredible view, better cookware than I have at home :) Lovely bath/shower/laundry downstairs (outside & down a set of stairs to the bathroom and gorgeous hot tub but that was never an issue). Getting up the road is about 8 minutes of pretty rough driving - (make sure to rent that 4wd jeep) - but there are few reasons to leave the property once there. Brian was extraordinarily flexible and helpful. Can't wait for my next visit!

Gorgeous, relaxing retreat - perfect for a romantic getaway
My husband and I stayed in the Teahouse Treehouse for a week for our honeymoon, and it was absolutely perfect. The house is even better than it appears in the photos, and I can still hear the forest sounds and feel the ocean breezes that lulled us to sleep each night. Everything was extremely well-maintained, and Bob, the property manager was extremely responsive. For example, we noticed a few wasps nests late one evening, and by the time we returned from snorkeling the following day they had been removed. The hot tub is wonderful, as are the gas grill, the hammock, and the kitchen (complete with all of the appliances you need). We had a few troubles with tire punctures as a result of the bumpy road up, but discovered that the service station in Cruz Bay is fantastic, and very reasonably priced. Altogether, the trip was everything we hoped for, in particular the Teahouse Treehouse!

My husband & I grew up with different climate preferences. I am very tropical & love the weather & he prefers the mountains and cooler weather! Well when I meantioned St. John & the treehouse, we both couldn't have been more intrigued! I can't even begin to explain the VIEWS, it was insanely gorgeous! Also, Being both culinary people, we loved all the kitchen and cooking essentials the teahouse had to offer. It couldn't have been more better! As for the snorkel gear & beach chairs, it really helped us relax and have a more home-like feel. Lastly, the bed was amazing & comfortable as well as the hot tub & shower! I will definitely recommend this place to any of my friends!

Heaven
What a special, unique experience it was to stay at the Teatree Treehouse with my husband. Both of us being lovers of animals and all types of life, ST. John and the Teatree was a perfect fit.
We were in awe every time we looked at the beautiful view. This place is synonymous with relaxation. Brian has appointed the house perfectly- just right. And the house oozes charm.
When we first looked at pictures on Homeaway we thought this place can not be real! But when we arrived it was even more beautiful than the pictures. Each night we fell asleep to the tune of frogs and awoke to singing birds.
Feeling recharged and refreshed! Thanks and a big shout out to Brian's manager Bob:)
