Starfish Market is the largest physical grocery store on the island with a full deli counter, liquor department, fresh produce and large dairy and frozen food sections. It is located on the first floor of the Marketplace just outside of Cruz Bay on the south shore road. Most of our guests stop here
Pine Peace Market
Pine Peace is truly the “locals” store. They’ve got a lot of stuff packed into some tall shelved aisles, and they are open late. You can find liquor, beer, drinks, bathroom needs, cleaning supplies, air conditioner freon kits (no kidding), and a lot of other things here.
Christy's of St. John
Whether you need rental equipment for children (and adults), or want to have the villa provisioned before you arrive, Christy and her team can help you make your check-in day that much easier.
They charge a small delivery fee ($10), a 20% handling fee, and request you pre-pay 14 days prior to your arrival.
Blue Line Yacht Charters
Nate & Mehan Fletcher’s charter company has 2 boats to motor you around the islands: a 27’ Glacier Bay power cat and a 37’ Midnight Express. The Midnight Express can fit up to 10 guests and, with it’s 3 x 300HP outboards, she can take you just about anywhere in record time.

Lime Out
The mini nautical version of Lime Out, this floating taco shack & bar is towed into Hansen Bay each day and opens at 11am serving delicious drinks and some of the best tacos you will find in the Virgin Islands. Boats pull up alongside, dinghies come over from nearby charter sailboats and most importantly, St. John visitors can drive out to Hansen Bay, pay the $3 fee for parking, and rent a kayak or paddle board (or bring a previously rented one from say Virgin Islands Expedition Co.) and paddle out. Sit yourself on one of the underwater seats or belly up (under water) to the floating platform, order a drink and some tacos, and enjoy a truly unique St. John experience. Think of it as a deuced up Angel’s Rest mixed together with Soggy Dollar Bar.
Great Cruz Bay
Just one bay west of Chocolate Hole, Great Cruz Bay is surrounded by island villas and the Westin Resort. The beach was man made but hosts multiple water sport activities from boat charters to paddle boards.

Frank Bay

Frank Bay is a perfect spot to just sit, jump in the water for a few minutes, or bring a beverage and watch the sunset - 99 times out of 100 you’ll be all by yourself.
Maho Crossroads
Opened in late 2018, Maho Crossroads is a kind of mini beach oasis in the sand that is evolving across the road from the west end of Maho Bay. With over a dozen parking spots, a tiki bar, small clothing shop, and food van, you can spend the day relaxing on Maho then walk down for a snack and a drink and lunch and talk with some fellow St. John lovers - then return to your beach chair and enjoy the view.
