Chris the owner was terrific. Gave us very detailed check in directions. In addition, Chris gave us good recommendations for dinner and beaches to visit. Location is very good, close to Sapphire beach, Lindquist beach and Red Hook. Villa had everything you could need including beach chairs which came in handy. Dinner at Old Stone Farmhouse was excellent as was Dinner at Pangea which is right on property. We rented a car which I would also recommend although there is a taxi stand walking distance.

Exactly what we wanted for vacation
I was in contact with Chris (the host) from the time we booked last fall until our trip in March. She patiently answered many, many questions and was a wealth of information when it came to planning for a week stay. She has many well deserved high ratings! The property was pretty much as described. We used the kitchen for over half our meals. It was amazing to be able to go to the beach in the mornings and then retreat from the crowds in the afternoons and lounge in the pool. It is right next to a busy road, so there is some road noise, but it did not affect us when we were inside. We were also fortunate to have quiet neighbors most of the week, however there was a day when the next door neighbors were louder. Aside from a little noise, it was still private and relaxing. The only thing I would advise is to be sure to get all 3 door codes before arrival. One to enter the private villa, one to open the sliding door to go inside, and one to enter the resort when walking back from the beach. We were only given one of these codes before arrival. Once we got all 3, we were set. All things considered, I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to others!

Dear Chad, I am glad you had a wonderful honeymoon. However I was disappointed to hear you had noise interruptions. Why did you. not notify me while I could do something about it? As a resort, we have strong noise laws. We have a resident manager and staff and could have immediately shut down any noise within minutes! I am a text away; a call or an email away and we take any noise very seriously, but we are reliant upon your feedback in real time so that we can take action.

Wow!!
Wow doesn’t began to describe how much my wife and I enjoyed our villa and overall trip. It was an unforgettable experience. First of all Chris was so easy to deal with. She was helpful and knowledgeable about all the different sites on the island. She helped us with every detail about the villa. The pool was great. The only thing negative I can say, which isn’t any fault of Chris is the leaves falling into the pool. However Chris left a net for us to clean the pool out. That’s how wonderful she was. The beaches were so beautiful and having Sapphire beach so close was an added bonus. I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone visiting St. Thomas.

Charles was very kind. Looking after my villas and my guests is my full time occupation and it was my pleasure to address Charles' concerns. Actually he was quite funny, We have one of the best locations on the island but we are at the edge of a nature preserve. We have a full time team looking after our pools but they work in a location where we are affected by changing weather and biology. I hope to see Charles next year.

The perfect Villa for the perfect vacation! My husband and I fell in love with St.Thomas. From beginning to end, Chris was the most informative and accommodating host. Our airport pickup and grocery stop was seamless and very convenient. The detailed check-in instructions made it stress free. Chris's Villa is beautiful, clean and well appointed. The private pool was the icing on top! We enjoyed Pangea on 62nd night (not only a wonderful dinner but a magical experience.) Quick walk to Sapphire Beach (my husband went snorkeling every morning.) Quick and easy taxi to Redhook, American Yaht Harbour, where we enjoyed quite a few lunches and dinners. The ferry to St. John was the perfect day trip. When we had issues with our departing flight, Chris jumped into action to facilitate our move to her other Villa. Again, beautiful, clean and well appointed. We look forward to planning our next trip "on island", and calling Chris's Villa home.

We had a wonderful four nights. The condo was perfect… AC, well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, and nice shower. The private pool was the best feature. It was so hot during our stay, even the locals were saying it was hotter than normal. We were amazed at how cool the pool water stayed. We used it a lot. Sapphire Beach was amazing… beautiful beaches, bar. Amazing restaurant called Sea Salt. There is a coffee shop and clothing, souvenir shop as well. There is a Cabana bar and great pizza place too. The ferry dock is a short drive and taxis are Available at Sapphire Beach. We recommend going to St John to spend a day. Chris was a great host and answered any questions we had. She also sent us information about the area. Bernadette picked us up from the airport and stopped at the grocery store for us. She drove us back to the airport when we left. She is amazing and was extremely helpful during our stay. It was nice having her as a resource in an unfamiliar place! We loved our trip!

Oasis just far enough from the crowds
Our first time in St Thomas was welcomed by this awesome property with a gracious host, Chris. We spoke on the phone when we arrived and she gave us a run down of the amenities and areas around the rental, along with restaurant and activity recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, the walkability to Sapphire Beach (and the awesome bar, restaurant and shop there). Highly recommend renting a vehicle so you can drive to Magens Bay. It was the most dreamy beach we have ever been to, definitely can’t miss that. Having the house to relax in was so wonderful, we enjoyed the nature scenery around and the quiet secluded feel. 10/10 recommend this rental and this amazing host. Thank you again Chris!

This property is perfect for people who want a villa atmosphere, but also enjoy privacy. Its private pool is a must have for taking a break from site seeing and beach days. It is a short walk to Sapphire Beach, where you can enjoy the ocean, get food/drink and souvenirs. Chris, the property manager was amazingly friendly and encouraged us to contact her should we need anything or wanted help booking other activities. She helped us arrange transport to and from the airport to the villa, including a stop to the grocery store on arrival with Kishawn, who was remarkable! We would definitely recommend this property.

Lovey stay in Sapphire Beach
We had a lovey two night stay at this property. Highlight for us was the private pool which was nice alternative to the beach. Christine was accommodating our request for early check in and was available to answer all of my stupid questions. The bed was very comfortable and great water pressure in the shower (two things that are important to me). As noted clearly in the description, there is no oven. Hopefully you aren’t planning to bake brownies on vacation. This was not an issue for us. I will say the path to Sapphire beach is not paved and those with mobility issues would need a car. That said, it’s a 5-7 minute walk and not a big deal. Sapphire beach is nice but our experience is that it can get crowded depending upon how many cruise ships or tours are around. On our second day there we found a nice spot under a tree and was very enjoyable and not terribly crowded. Christine provides awesome beach chairs so you don’t need to rent them. I highly recommend making a reservation for Pangea which is right at the entrance to the property. A wonderful meal in a tree house setting. We did not each at the Beach Bar which seems to have basic beach food but stops servicing around 5 pm I believe. Breakfast and coffee at Beach Buzz was good. If you don’t have a car there is easy taxi access either by phone or at the taxi stand by the beach bar. It’s very close to Red Hook and other fine restaurants in that area. Understandably, Christine has asked that the A/C not be set too low in either the bed room or living room. So if you like sleeping in an ice box, you may be disappointed. There are ceiling fans in each room to help. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Christine’s villa was the perfect spot for a long holiday weekend! We were in a great location close to the fun of Red Hook (restaurants/bars/water activities) but not far from the other beaches St Thomas has to offer. The parking at Pavillions and Pools was ample and the restaurants on/near site, Pangea and Sapphire Beach Bar, were two of our favorites. Christine recommended renting a car and we’re so glad we did. We can’t think of a bad thing to say about our villa or our trip, it was hard to leave! Thanks again to Christine and the wonderful staff who made our time in the USVI so enjoyable :)

This was an excellent property. Close to the beach, short walk, but still has a feeling of being secluded. The pool was my selling point, but having a fridge and stove to cook...a bonus I didnt know I needed or wanted. We were able to swim whenever we wanted and without crowds, its a private oasis!!! Chris was amazing! Making sure we had what we needed to enjoy our stay. Checkin up and brining batteries to us. Reaching out to ensure we were okay. When she was unable to reach us. She went above and beyond. I recommend to any and all, have your own private oasis in paradise.

Close to Sapphire Beach!
Chris was an excellent host. She had excellent recommendations on where to go and where to eat. This property is a short walk behind the Pangea Restaurant (which we ate at one night that was delicious. Just bring bug spray if you are prone to getting bit by mosquitos.) The house was quaint and cute and enjoyed the pool after the days of being in the hot sun. The kitchen has everything you need. Moe's grocery store in Red Hook is five minutes away and sells liquor and beer. We enjoyed being so close to Red Hook and Sapphire Beach, which has The Beach Bar and Beach Buzz for coffee and breakfast eaters. Although the living room and bedroom both have AC units, we did get a little warm. Chris has restrictions on the living room not being below 75 degrees F and the bedroom being between 25-27 degrees C. This is something I think should be disclosed prior to booking because I have trouble sleeping when warm. Chris and I spoke about this and she informed me that anything lower would lock up the units and could ruin them because of how hot it gets on the Island and humidity. All in all, we would stay again. ❤️ Thank you, Chris for allowing us to book your property.

Nobody has ever said this before so we are puzzled. It is much closer to meet a taxi at the entrance to the resort, by Pangea. It is barely a minutes walk. We should not really be marked down because of the island taxi service, which is outside of our control. It gives the impression that our location is poor when we actually have one of the best locations on the island. Many places on the island cannot get taxi service and guests have to rent a vehicle.

Beautiful island but stay elsewhere!
Chris was pleasant to communicate with, however, we feel that the photos and description of the property are misleading. It was dated and in need of some TLC. Patio furniture had tears and was not what was shown in the photos. There was no gas in the grill. The owner told us we could purchase it and she would repay us but if we are on vacation, we felt that this should be something that was already taken care of in advance. The closet doors don’t stay on the track and do not close properly. The bathroom is nicely done and is the best feature of the unit. There are a number of extension cords hanging from the wall in the bedroom and the wall plugs need to be replaced as we noticed when our phones didn’t charge. As far as the location, there is no direct path to the beach. It is through the neighboring gravel road which is really dark at night in which you go through a gate by a soccer field and then a parking lot to get to Sapphire Beach Resort. The overall condominium complex is in need of maintenance. It looks rundown. The laundry machine was out of order as well. In addition, the view featured from the pool is not what you see. It is overgrown with trees and bushes and trash on the ground. You could maybe see the view in the online posting if you stood on a chair. The pool is nice but there are tiles missing. The walkway shown against the back wall by the pool in the photo which is tiled has been replaced by a gray wooden decking. For a relatively low investment, this property could be gorgeous. For the cost to stay at this property, it was disappointing.

This is not a factual review so a few things must be said to clear this up. This small eco-resort has 4 full-time staff and is amazingly well kept. What Robert failed to appreciate on his first visit to the island is that, if he had stayed anywhere else for his 4 days, 2 of them would have been spent in darkness without AC and WIFI because the island's eclectic plant is not too reliable. Unlike all the resorts on the popular East End, ours is the only one with a generator and high-speed WIFI. Of the 25 condos with private poo;ls, this one is one of a few that has had a total remodel . I spent over $40,000 on it last year alone. The exterior work replaced the old bridge which had cracked tile with a brand new one. We also built a new fence, a new gazebo. $15,000 was spent outside in the garden area so to say anything was old is in fact, preposterous. We even have new graduated pool steps and finished it off with the fun option of pool lights! Regarding the comments about the pool furntiure, I was worried and had to have someone come over to inspect because I just bought brand new Tommy Bahama recliners at a cost of $1,200 and was afraid a guest had ripped the,. Not so! The housekeeper had put cushions on top and there was a tiny tear about an inch long in one. of them. Whilst this is utterly insignificant I will have them removed. There WAS gas in the grill. I had simply shared that I did not know if there was any gas in the grill. The other condos don't have grills because they are being phased out. I thought it was a nice extra feature. We can remove the grill. I immediately got my builder over to. inspect the closet doors. There was a part that slid in the runner at the top. Someone must have pulled on it. We replaced it already. I had my electrician over to test every single outlet and they all work and all charge phones. There were a couple of wires in front of the TV that anybody could more (they were not live) so we moved them. Robert had a car and could have driven to Sapphire resort in 2 minutes. I would never recommend walking at night. There IS no soccer field but as I wrote in the notes I emailed to him, the walking path is part black top road and part unmade road which is normal in the Caribbean. It also says in the listing that that beach is a 6 minute walk. The laundry machine is working and directions as to how to use the washer and dryer are on the wall. We do have problems with tenants who do not read the instructions about how many quarters to put in the slots. If he had read them he would have had no difficulty washing and drying laundry. I. called the manager and he went and checked. Robert could have checked with me. Regarding the view, there is certainly no trash on the ground. As the listing says, there is. a nature preserve - part of the national park - that runs between this little resort and Pelican Beach. Throughout the seasons we have periods when the vegetation mostly loses its leaves and you have quite a good view of the sea. At other times the bush is overgrown and you can't. For this reason, I do not say that there is a sea view. I am not aware of any missing tiles but this is a spiteful review. We have a redone pool. When asked why he had not posted a factual review he admitted that he thought he had spent too much. Please be aware that when you make an online booking about one-third of what you pay goes to VRBO and hotel tax. Rates go up and down with demand. Demand increased after COVID. everywhere and prices went up everywhere. Car rentals doubled. At other times, as we enter a recession, rates come down. Our. the rate was almost half the rate of another property in the resort. A simple room at the Ritz Carlton with no private patio or private pool would cost in the neighborhood $1,000. This is the only place in the islands where you can have a private pool for a fraction of that price.

Good time on St. Thomas
We visited many beaches and went to St. John 2x for the day. The condo is in a good location for visiting Sapphire, Mageans Bay, Coki, and others. It is a short drive to the barge, and downtown red hook for dinner. The private pool was nice. The accommodations were just what we needed. The shower/bathroom was gorgeous. The owner, Chris, had great recommendations and was very communicative. We only had one issue when we noticed that someone entered the properly without us knowing while we were gone. There were telltale signs. We immediately followed up with Chris who was as concerned as we were, and quickly followed up with property management. It turned out that the maintenance came to clean the pool which was appreciated, but heads up from maintenance would have been appreciated. Otherwise, it was very private and safe. We appreciated having a wonderful natural back yard with chickens who stroll by. Thanks, Chris for a great place to vacation.

Excellent Location & Host!
We couldn’t have been happier than staying at Chris’s place on St. Thomas. The proximity to Sapphire Beach, Red Hook, and the Ferry made our trip super easy. Chris was so responsive and had tons of great recommendations and tips for us to make our stay that much easier. Much of the island is still recovering from the hurricanes and COVID, but this property was a little haven that made it feel like it was just my husband and I staying there. Pangea on site was absolutely fantastic as well. When we return to the island we will 100% stay here again.

Paradise
This villa was the perfect mixture of quiet & secluded while being close to fun things to do. A quick walk to Sapphire beach where you can rent chairs and enjoy the sun. Get awesome drinks at the beach bar and delicious bar foods. Short taxi ride to red hook to enjoy the restaurants/bars and shops. Can hop a ferry to St john right there. The private pool was an amazing way to unwind after a day out and about, Chris was always available to answer questions and offer up recommendations. Once inside our villa, you hardly ever see or hear anyone. A very intimate escape. Will definitely be returning !
