First, let me start with one that isn't always clear, given the previous reviews. This is NOT a bed and breakfast. There is no breakfast. They apparently stopped doing breakfast over a year ago, and are struggling to get that information out. That being said, this place is amazing for people who are fairly physically fit. The entire town is set on a big hill, and the rooms here are set a fair amount up the hill from the ocean. This allows for great views, and it is a straight downhill trek to shopping and food. If the thought of a few steps doesn't scare you, this is a fantastic location. If the idea of walking up and down a few flights of steps isn't your thing, then this might not be the best place for you. We found that there was reserved parking (if you decide to drive) close to the rooms, and never had an issue finding a spot. The area is gated and they will give you a key, adding an extra layer of safety, which we liked. This place is owned by a husband-and-wife team, and they are absolutely amazing. They allowed us to check in early with no issues, provided us with many tips on places to go, shopping, food, etc. They even helped us book a massage. Finally, the amenities were very good. A nice patio with a pool, which had plenty of seating, sun shades, etc. They had a microwave available and even plates, silverware, and glasses. They had snorkel and beach gear free to borrow as well. We really enjoyed our stay here.

It’s a property that has charm and character. It’s a beautiful place. The hotel 1829 is a few min walk down some steps nearby and dinner there was amazing. We went back twice just for the cocktails. It was quiet for the most part. We had the pool to ourselves 90% of the time. A 15 min walk got us to shops, a market, bars, etc. If you are blessed, you will have the chance to pet ocho, the sweetest good boy you’ve ever met. I really appreciated the tips and lists they had for us to help us decided the best places to go. If I ever hat the chance to visit again, I would stay here. The owners are kind and helpful. The only thing I would change is the mattress on our bed, it was a bit hard. They have everything you need here to have a good trip.

The owner was nice and wanted to help make our stay nice, but he couldn't hide the fact that the pictures he took to 'sell' the place were very generous. Literally the best example of good lighting and strategic camera work to make a run down place seem nice online. Dirty kitchen. Run down front desk. Literally have to walk up and down 101 steps to get anywhere. Our taxi driver had to drop us off 1,000 yards from the place.

Property was quaint with an incredible view of the harbor. The room was very clean and was freshened up daily. Owners were very friendly and so accommodating. It was wonderful to have beach chairs, towels, beach blanket, cooler etc provided. The area was very quiet but close to shops and local vendors. Would absolutely stay here again.

The place it’s beautiful. Close to everything and you can walk everywhere. The stairs are a workout, but necessary to stay in shape😂. Mark was superb, courteous and helpful. I recommend “At Home In the Tropics” for a quite, walkable, clean and friendly place to stay in St. Thomas!
