Facing the North towards Magens Bay it is nestled near the botanical gardens. We fell asleep every night to the sounds of tree frogs and birds. When the ocean breeze sweeps up the mountainside it is paradise. The property needs a little TLC. We struggled with the jacuzzi tub and werent able to use it. However, at the end of the day there was rum to soothe the aches and pains. Bug nets for the canopy beds are advised. ##### Jon H. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt T. Jul 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful house Stayed here a week and it was amazing. Beautiful place that was clean and had plenty of amenities for your stay . There’s also coolers , chairs , snorkeling gear and beach towels to use. Todd was great at communicating with and was always very responsive with any questions. The view from the house is amazing, probably one of the best ones you’ll see in your lifetime. Beds were comfortable and the AC worked great . There is also access to the roof that’s on top of the house for an incredible view, but the neighbors that permanently lived in a unit below were always up there using the space . So you really couldn’t access it even though it’s on top of the house that you pay to stay at. Just feel there needs to be more clarity on who’s space that really is and who can or can’t access it. It’s a minor detail so definitely don’t hesitate to book this beautiful place. We loved it and would definitely stay again . Thanks for a great week. ![View from roof ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/301bab2f-58dd-41ed-9cf1-ffba31562245-1753364222036.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/21b3704c-0175-4351-91fd-1db001f95e3c-1753364220501.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d9d8f1ff-6fb2-4c18-80f1-b352616f3212-1753364220609.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9ed3596c-a6ae-4f0d-83b4-8e6dc9728049-1753364221054.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Matt T.

The views are amazing, and it was very easy to get around the island. We did not have a rental car, but there is room to park if you did have one. There were lots of towels and the kitchen was fully stocked. There is only one tv in the master bedroom, but you’re there to relax and enjoy the views. The hosts were friendly and helpful, able to give us taxi information and ideas on what to do. ##### Jeremy B. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ron S. Jan 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hilltop retreat The apartment is spacious, clean, and nicely furnished. Well- appointed kitchen. Nice view over Magen's Bay and the small islands north of St Thomas. The hosts are readily available, friendly and helpful. The location is away from the bustle of central St Thomas, with a chorus of tree frogs each night. Steps down to the entrance can be a bit of a challenge if one is carrying something, or if a person is a bit unsteady on stairs. Navigating the steep twisty roads on St Thomas hills takes some practice and planning- Google Maps app is helpful, but often selects a shorter but more difficult route as its primary rather than a slightly longer but easier route. ##### Ron S.

Jan 8, 2025 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### Mold and mildew We had to cancel our reservation shortly after arrival because there was a lot of water damage throughout the house. There was mold on the walls and the house smelled musty. We had trouble breathing in the house and had to get out. We notified Todd and VRBO of the conditions and Todd sent someone to clean. We had to scramble at the last minute to secure alternative lodging on NYE. We were fully refunded but it was a very stressful experience. I wish Todd informed us of the conditions when he requested the second payment. When I booked the pictures of property and the description were different than what’s currently shown. But I do not have screenshots to prove and VRBO could not verify. ##### Nicole L. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2024
