A short walk from the beaches of Hawksnest Bay, this three bedroom, three bath Japanese style house has three spacious decks, a plunge pool, air conditioning, outdoor shower, and an airy living room. A vacation house perched on the hillside above the old bay rum distillery at Hawksnest Bay, this unusual hardwood house has three bedrooms, a lovely kitchen, various decks, and a plunge pool for cooling off. Wake up in a mahogany and koa bed and see the turquoise water without raising your head from the pillow. Reach for a cold Ting™ right out of your own bedroom fridge and walk out on the deck to take in the tropical foliage and count the sailboats below. Stroll five minutes to the beach for a morning dip and return to brew your fresh ground coffee and lean back in a hammock to watch the banana keets squabble about for your amusement. An important note to prospective guests with mobility issues: There is a fairly long staircase from the driveway to the house, which may be too strenuous for some people. Please see the photos for an idea of the staircase. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster - Water dispenser ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Music library - Stereo - TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Concierge services - Housekeeping (on request) ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the marina ### Things to do - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Motor boating nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Eco-friendly toiletries - Housekeeping (on request) - Property does not allow children - Solar energy - Unit size: 1,250 square feet - Water dispenser usage encouraged - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, books, stereo, computer monitors](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/62000000/61210000/61201900/61201835/e913b239.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Eureka Villa -Stunning Views in Paradise 2BR/2.5BA Rendezvous Bay - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-13&endDate=2026-02-14&selected=61201835&PinnedHotelID=61201835&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39960000/39954900/39954876/400cb2f1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Windridge Home: St. John Estate Freemans Ground - Ocean view - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.8 Exceptional 30 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-13&endDate=2026-02-14&selected=39954876&PinnedHotelID=39954876&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121340000/121335000/121334932/14d5eccf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "Up On The Rocks" SolVillasUSVI St John - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 90 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-13&endDate=2026-02-14&selected=121334932&PinnedHotelID=121334932&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/24000000/23150000/23146000/23145983/2d1740d4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Caneel Trailside: Expansive Views of the Caribbean!

The location and views are spectacular and the property has all of the modern amenities for a comfortable stay. Communication with Jen & Joey was great and they were really helpful making sure all of our needs were met during our stay. Running the stairs provides a great workout for those looking to get some fitness in during their stay. The plunge pool was perfect to cool off after the workout or at the end of the day.

Make sure you know that your group will be climbing many stairs, although the location and easy access to Oppenheimer are worth every step! The amenities provided with the house, chairs, sun tent, snorkels, spices, olive oil, and beach towels were great necessities! We cooked several nights in the house and found everything we needed. I can't say enough about the concierge, Jennifer! She had fresh fish for us upon arrival! Do yourself a favor and reach out to them asap once you're booked to help with planning! ##### Jon J.

It is so well appointed, easy to cook in, super relaxing and beautiful. The plunge pool is an absolute delight, perfect for relaxing after a long day of snorkeling. Being so close to Oppenheimer beach was a joy to discover and made for a wonderful short walk each day. The property managers are wonderful to work with - so attentive and helpful with any questions we had. The owners of the property were so kind and really took care of us, ensuring that we had a lovely time on the the island. Would highly recommend this property. ##### Heather Y.

Mampoo house is a unique and amazing experience. We came for two weeks to celebrate our wedding anniversary and loved every minute. The location can't be beat. Right on the north shore drive, close to all the great beaches (hawksnest, trunk, cinnamon) and close to town yet secluded and private! A winning combo!! The view is incredible; the walk to the beach is easy and rewarding as you end up in an "almost" exclusive Oppenheimer beach; the house is an architectural beauty with its shoji doors creating spaces that immediately put you into vacation zen; the plunge pool is ideal for cooling off; and the extra bedrooms on the lower level provide for nice separate, space for everyone. (We had friends come and stay with us for a few days). Overall amazing house and wonderful stay with the house managers being attentive and responsive. I do recommend you read the house description as they are not kidding about the stairs and you are surrounded by nature so... yes you will hear crickets, frogs, roosters, and such at night (and day)! Loved it and plan to come back as soon as we can! ##### Cristina M. Stayed 14 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg G.

The house is beautiful and beds very comfortable. You can hear the waves breaking from inside the house. Our host, Jennifer, was exceptional and was always available for questions. She even picked up our grocery order for the first day. We will always choose this property over all others. ##### Jennifer C. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2021 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### D C. Feb 26, 2016 #### Amazing place! This was the first time we rented a house after staying at Caneel Bay a few times. For the same price as a one bedroom at Caneel you get a three bedroom house with amazing views, awesome architecture and unrivaled privacy. There is wifi, ac (we did not need it), laundry room, a small plunge pool and several decks. There are a couple flights of stairs to climb between the parking area and house but we're not an issue for us (family of four with two kids ages 8 and 10). The house was just renovated so everything is new with high end appliances and great interior design. Modern yet very warm. On top of all that there is an amazing concierge (Jennifer) to help you with reservations or information on anything from excursions to grocery stores. Highly recommend! ##### D C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 29, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Above and beyond We had a wonderful time at the beautiful Mampoo house. The location was great with walking distance to one of the most beautiful beaches in St John (Oppenheimer Beach) and minutes ride to Cruz Bay where we enjoyed shopping and dining. Everything you need was there at the house from shampoos to cotton buds, even bandaids, water filter, snorkel and beach towels. The Japanese architecture was just beautiful, I cannot believe the builder made the sliding doors himself. Opening and closing sliding doors took a bit but got used to it by end of day 1\. Beware of mosquitos; we went in August during high season so mosquitos found its way in the cracks. Property manager Jen went above and beyond and helped us through everything like jump starting our rental jeep when the battery died... She also was very knowledgable about the house and taught us some St John culture :) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan G., USA Aug 21, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Architecturally stunning asian tree house A magnificent, comfortable, stunning.views of one of St, J beautiful beaches!

Private yet an easy drive to Cruz Bay (we chanted "stay left" whenever leaving). The architecture is gorgeous and the Ipe wood used throughout was smooth and cool, even in direct sun so it was comfortable going barefoot. The 72 stairs only made us plan a little better... Recycling the old cistern into a plunge pool was a brilliant idea, we used it daily. Concierge Jen was helpful and informative- she is invaluable. Already starting to plan our next trip! ##### Lee Ann B. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rob M.

First the service from the concierge Jen was world class from the lead up - always ready with a quick answer/suggestion to any question… she arranged to have the house stocked with food and drink so we would be set from the moment we arrived then even met us at the ferry to bring us to the house and get set. The house it self is so unique and is both architecturally beautiful while remaining cozy and comfortable. The setting is completely serene and private — time spent at the house outdoors on the multiple decks / plunge pool // cooking meals in a beautifully equipped chefs kitchen // lounging in the screened in common area were among some of our favorite of the vacation. The location in Hawknest is among the best you could ask for with a quick walk to a beach or a quick drive to every North Shore Beach. You are also a ten minute drive to Cruz Bay for nightlife and restaurants and Coral Bay is 25 minutes the other direction. I feel lucky to have spent a week here and will return soon. ##### Rob M.

It is one of the most relaxing places we've ever stayed. This is a modern home that follows Japanese design principles - Ipa floors, decking, interiors, ceiling fans, delicate shoji panels all blended perfectly with the surrounding forest. Everything was well kept and clean, and we appreciated the extra touches including nice beach towels, chairs, sunshade, coolers, and even umbrellas (though we didn't need them!). Our host Jen was helpful and responsive, and the location of the house on the north side of the island was very convenient to town and the north side beaches. ##### Laura R.

What a beautiful place to be! Charming architecture perched on a hillside with a gorgeous view of the bay below. Nice location on the north shore of the island, close enough to Cruz Bay to go for groceries/wine/dinner and lots of beaches/bays/hikes to chose from nearby. Our concierge, Jennifer was amazing--very attentive and accommodating. We did fine with the 70 steps, but we're pretty fit for 70-year-olds. We didn't quite get the purpose of the plunge pool, but maybe some people will like it. This rental worked great for 2 couples, but if a third couple is added, the ones who sleep on the upper level must be either VERY sound sleepers or VERY early risers, as the roosters start crowing before dawn and the windows have only screens--no glass. The downstairs bedrooms are nearly soundproof and nice and cool from the air conditioning. The upstairs is cooled by ceiling fans and breezes from outside and was always comfortable. The house is very well equipped, and the only thing we found lacking was lighting for the deck, but Jennifer dropped off 2 great rechargeable LED lanterns right away which solved that problem. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Marcia B. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victor R.

Its very close to many north shore beaches and easily walkable to a couple. ##### Victor R.
