The Guest House of the popular St John villa - Great Expectations

"Beau Geste"

Located just next door to the main St John Villa of Great Expectations, the Guest House ("Beau Geste") offers an additional 2 bedrooms. The 2 bedrooms in the Beau Geste Guest House may be rented along with the 5 bedrooms in the Villa or if the Villa guests do not need to use the Guest House, it may be available to rent by itself. The Guest House ("Beau Geste") is just a short walk (25 yards) along a lighted path from the Villa; however, Beau Geste has its own separate parking area, entrance, and lots of beautiful landscaping so your privacy is assured. Beau Geste also has its own swimming pool, hot tub, BBQ grill, and, of course, outdoor furniture, hammocks, and the same great sunrise and sunset views as the Villa! The sleeping configurations in Beau Geste consist of: -the top floor Studio Apartment (2+ people) -the Guest Bedroom (up to 5 persons)

"...Travis and I stayed in your apartment, and now I yearn to be woken up at 5am by tropical showers, leaping out of bed to slam the doors against the warm, driving rain. I have to say my favorite spot in the whole villa is the porch off your apartment facing Rendezvous Bay . Always a stiff breeze and a guaranteed moment of peace...Thanks for an amazing experience. We ' ll send some pictures along. "

via e-mail: "We had a fabulous time and thoroughly enjoyed staying at your lovely guest house. The highlight of our trip was definitely the snorkeling boat trip on Sadie Sea. Captain Ben and Skye were fabulous and they took us to some wonderful snorkeling/historic spots. My children felt the same way. Thank you so much!

Also, thank you for sharing the beautiful guest house with us and for agreeing to let us stay for the five nights. I was definitely ready to get back to my baby and relieve my parents. We have some wonderful memories that will last a lifetime."

via e-mail: "We will never be able to fully express our gratitude for the use of Beau Geste. From the moment we arrived, we knew that St John is a special place. We had an absolutely perfect honeymoon. We arrived on a warm Saturday evening. After a quick stop for groceries, we made our way to the apartment and all we can say is WOW! There are not enough adjectives to express our DELIGHT with Beau Geste. It is a spectacular set-up with gorgeous views. We felt at-home instantly (and fell asleep instantly!)...We grilled almost every night except when we were enjoying Candie's BBQ chicken and ribs! We made it into Cruz Bay one night to eat paella at La Tapa.

We even saw the lunar eclipse on a clear, skyscraper-free evening. Absolutely though, our favorite thing to do was spending quiet time together on the beach and relaxing on the decks of Beau Geste. Thank you for sharing this piece of paradise with us! We had a very special time and we will never forget our honeymoon. Thank you for a wonderful experience in St John!"

via e-mail: "We all enjoyed being at Great Expectations and Beau Geste and had a wonderful time hiking, snorkeling and beaching. Your place is just perfect - with views to both the east and west. A special thrill was watching the full moon rise out of the water on the last night of our visit - March 21st. It also happened to be just one day after Spring Equinox. We will remember our time in your beautiful houses with great pleasure and maybe - you never know - we might be back again."
