From the moment you arrive, there's a sense that time slows down here—that this is a place meant for unwinding, for reconnecting, and for savoring the beauty of simple, soulful island living. The villa is rich in classic Caribbean architecture, with warm terra cotta tiles underfoot, arched doorways that catch the golden light, and shuttered windows that usher in soft breezes from the sea. Rattan and wicker furnishings, hand-carved wood pieces, and soft island hues create an atmosphere that's both nostalgic and inviting—echoing the grace and warmth of a classic era. From morning coffee to sunset cocktails, the panoramic views are simply mesmerizing—watch from the open-air verandas as sailboats drift into the harbor, cruise ships light up the evening horizon, and tropical palms sway gently against an endless blue backdrop. A private pool terrace is tucked among lush greenery, offering a peaceful escape with stunning views. While Southwind Villa feels like a retreat from the modern world, its comforts are anything but old-fashioned. Thoughtfully updated, the home includes high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, air conditioning, and a fully equipped kitchen—all seamlessly integrated so that the charm of the villa remains untouched. Whether you're streaming a favorite shows after a beach day or catching up on a bit of work from the antique writing desk, you can stay as connected—or as blissfully unplugged—as you choose. Southwind Villa is perfectly located just minutes from the shops, restaurants, and historic charm of downtown Charlotte Amalie, and a short drive from some of St. Thomas's most pristine beaches. But once you've settled into the rhythm of this home—its breezy verandas, soul-soothing views, and timeless spirit—you may find little reason to leave. Come and experience the Caribbean and Old West Indies charm the way it was meant to be— warm, welcoming, unhurried, and unforgettable. \*\*Confirmed guests will be required to sign a guest license/rental agreement and may be required to keep a credit card on file for incidentals\*\* Have questions?

The location is great, the views are spectacular and the pool is fabulous. The house is sprawling and spacious, so our group of 8 had lots of room to spread out. We spent a lot of time on the covered open-air veranda/porch, which was great during the heat of the day. We did need to call the property managers regarding a few items, but the issues were addressed within a reasonable time. Overall, this place is quite lovely and comfortable .... I really hated to leave. ##### Carol D. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason B.

This place is great for groups of friends or large families. Everyone has their own space with extra living rooms, private baths and just extra space. The house and grounds just need a little TLC and this place would be a great 5 star. We had some light bulb issue not working around the pool, in the pool and around the grounds outside the house. The kitchen and dining area was great for those group stay home cookouts. Overall our group had a great stay and would stay there again in the future.

The patio and kitchen area is where we would all end up do the amazing views and location to the pool! Both Patrick and the local property manager were very communicative and easy to get in touch with. They offered several local options for food, entertainment and sites to visit. Overall, it was the best place for us to enjoy the beauty of St. Thomas but also feel like we could get anywhere within 20 minutes. ##### Jason B.
