Lion's Gate Getaway- Lush Setting. Check for seasonal discounts

Lions Gate Getaway is a private studio apartment in a lush, tropical setting, humming birds share your 270 degree view of St. John, Tortola and Red Hook Harbor. In just a few minutes you can walk into Red Hook for shopping, dinner, drinks and night life or catch the ferries to St. John and the BVI.

The spacious porch is a perfect way to enjoy your first cup of coffee or to sit back in the evening and watch the colors change over the islands with a cool beverage in your hand as the breeze passes by.

My husband Chris and I have lived on St. Thomas for over 20 years. He came to dive, I came to sail. We met and discovered we both had a love of the water and the Caribbean life style. Chris built this house on the top of the hill, and now we have expanded it to accommodate guests in our apartment that captures the Caribbean life style. We look forward to helping you enjoy your vacation in any way we can. Just ask for local tips on restaurants and activities.

Great place to stay
We loved our time at Lions Gate! Its quiet and peaceful and had just what we needed. We didnt expect beach chairs, beach towels (we brought our own), and a cooler, but and they all came in handy! Max and Chris were great hosts and we look forward to staying again in the future.

Lionsgate comfort
Overall, this property was exactly what we look for. Max and Chris were the perfect hosts. Safety and comfort are two of our concerns and both were met perfectly. The location in Red Hook was walkable to downtown and the Ferry. It is walkable but up a steep hill and that may be a concern if you do not rent a car. We did not have a car and as two older individuals, it was not a problem for us. Ate on the terrace every day, nice evening breeze, never used AC, beautiful views of harbor and St John. All basic needs provided, and more. Thank you Max and Chris

Cozy stay, great hosts
This place seemed more "authentic" than the other resort-style properties we looked at, and we're so glad we went with it! The view was wonderful and Maxine and Chris were great hosts with local insights. It was great to be walking distance to Red Hook, but keep in mind the road leading there is very steep, so would only consider it truly "walkable" if you're fairly athletic.

A quiet and restful retreat, ideal for a stay in Red Hook. Maxine and Chris were generous and considerate hosts; the apartment was well appointed; and the views from the covered porch exceptional—well worth the steep walk up the hill. We plan to return next year, and absolutely recommend the whole experience to others.

Red Hook/Lions Gate
Beautiful Apartment with overlook of Redhook and Saint Johns. Very appealing decorations/plants. Steep/narrow road to location from Red Hook. Just take your time, stay left and you can make it there safely and it's worth it. Affordable, good wifi and comfortable accommodations. Flowers and chocolates for my wife for anniversary were some of the best I've ever had arranged by locations for our yearly trip! May do again, but we do like to have variety of places we go, we'll see... Thanks Max and Chris!

Max was great and the area was in a nice location. The driveway is a bit daunting at first, but not bad once you acclimate. The mosquitoes and other biting bugs were rough, but that’s just the Island in October. Amazing views.

Absolutely Amazing
Words cannot express how beautiful the veiws, and the room/property is. It was wonderful to be so close to town and have the privacy of being tucked away. Chris and Maxine are wonderful hosts. They are so welcoming and giving us some great ideas to adventure around. I would definitely come back in the future.

The best part of our trip was the stay!!
My husband and I stayed in Red Hook with plans to ferry to St John and hike/beach during the day. This place was a short, less than 10 minute walk to the ferry, which was great because we went the week without a car! Maxine was so understanding and flexible throughout our entire booking process as we had a hiccup with our dates when booking. She was friendly and helpful whenever we spoke with her, but also gave us our space so we felt like we had the property all to ourselves (besides frequent visits from Lou, the dog, which we LOVED and looked forward to!!) When I say I was obsessed with everything about this cute little rental, it was my favorite part of our trip! The balcony is to die for, the interior so sweetly decorated, you feel like you are a local living on the island with an amazing view. The kitchen had whatever we needed to make a dinner or two. Overall, we can’t wait to come back!! Thank you both for an amazing stay :)

Wonderful place!
Max and Chris are awesome hosts. The property has the best views in Red Hook. I loved everything about it. It was clean, spacious, and even came with a dog! Louie hung out on the porch with us while we ate breakfast in the morning. It was perfect. I would stay again. The climb up isn't for the weak, though. Get your quads ready for it. But, the view is worth it.

One of the best places we have stayed.
Maxine and Chris were very hospitable. They picked us up down the hill and dropped us off. They also let us checked in early. The view from their place was amazing!! We can’t get enough of it. The studio was well equipped and had everything you need for your stay. We would definitely come back if they would have us again. Thank you so much for having us. Pacha&Russell
