About this property

Stunning, Oceanfront Villa on 1.5 very private acres, just minutes to Magens Bay

  • As featured on HGTV and winner of 'BANG FOR YOUR BUCK' in St Thomas. This recently renovated and secluded villa resides majestically on the hillside, 200 feet above the Atlantic Ocean. Wake up to the sound of the Atlantic Ocean crashing onto the rocks below. Cliffhanger is located in the best location on the island, the peninsula of Peterborg. Peterborg separates Magens Bay from the Atlantic and is comprised of exclusive villas. Cliffhanger also sits in the prime location within a private, secure, and gated community at the end of the private road. You will have total privacy but will still be close to many island attractions. Once you park and enter through the stone exterior wall of the property, you will be greeted by spectacular views of the Atlantic and various islands including St. John, Jost van Dyke and Tortola. The home is located less than 20 minutes from both the airport, the nightlife in Red Hook, and the ferry to St. John. It is also only 2 miles from world famous Magens Bay beaches and just 5 minutes to the renowned Old Stone Farmhouse restaurant. This is the perfect vacation home for a family, 2 to 4 couples wanting the ultimate get away, or a honeymooning couple wanting a memory to last a lifetime. The villa has a heated plunge pool, a hot tub, and a whole house generator to insure a wonderful stay on the island.

    You also can have all the amenities of a resort if you so choose. Our Villa manager will greet you at the airport and show you to the villa and make your stay wonderful. He will then get you acquainted and answer questions... Other services that are available include daily housekeeping, grocery services, onsite massage, onsite yoga chefs services, and water excursions on a private vessel (please inquire at time of booking to give us time to arrange). We pride ourselves on our personal service. You will love it!

Beautiful villa

We had a great stay in St. Thomas. The views from the balconies were absolutely stunning. The house was very nice and very clean. We rented a car at the airport and Sally met us there and we followed her back to the house which was very helpful, especially the tour of the home that she provided. the owner was very responsive to any questions that we had and quick to answer. Overall had a great experience and would definitely recommend anyone staying here.

Best trip ever!

We recently stayed at this stunning rental house in St. Thomas, and it was truly a dream vacation! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking ocean views that greeted us from every room. Waking up to the sight of the ocean each morning was an absolute delight. The house itself is beautifully designed and immaculately maintained. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, each with its own unique view of the surrounding beauty. The fully-equipped kitchen made it easy for us to prepare meals, and we loved having breakfast on the main deck while watching the sailboats drift by. One of the highlights of our stay was the private pool and hot tub. It was the perfect spot to relax and unwind after a day of exploring the island. We spent many afternoons lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun, and taking in the serene atmosphere.The location of the house is ideal. It’s close to some of the most beautiful beaches we’ve ever seen, and just a short drive to local markets and restaurants. We visited Magens Bay and even took a day trip to nearby St. John, both of which were fantastic. The convenience of being able to explore the island and return to such a luxurious home base made our vacation truly special. Robert and Sally were both incredibly responsive and provided us with great recommendations for dining and activities. Their attention to detail and hospitality made us feel right at home. Overall, our stay exceeded all expectations.

Peterborg Estate

Our family has traveled to St Thomas multiple times. So not new to the area. This home as others have described has amazing views and is very well equipped but other than that there are some things I would like to point out as were concerning to our stay. We were to be met by Sally at the airport to escort to the home and she was late arriving, so we had to stand/wait in the rain. Upon arrival to the home and her showing us a few things she didn't go over how to turn hot water in the villa on nor how to use the jacuzzi. We had to reach out to her to ask direction with a delay on her response to our phone call. Never offered to come back to villa to help us nor even checked back at any point to see if we got it handled or needed any assistance with anything! Maybe a folder with instructions would help guests to refer to.My 2 adult daughters were staying in the villa and in the night one got up to use the restroom only to come upon a scorpion on the floor. Thank God she was not stung by it. They no longer wanted to stay up there, so we had to make do without using that space. In the master bedroom the air handler is right next to the bed and VERY noisy and hard to sleep with when on. Found a pop tart wrapper under the master bed. The water pressure though out the home is poor. Were unable to get the Tv's to work as the remotes had dead batteries. For this owner to advertise this home as he does, he really needs to step up and maintain the home better!

8 of us take a vacation together every year. Two moms and our daughters and over the 25 years their significant others. We celebrated an engagement on this trip! This home was all you could ever dream of if you love the beauty of the sea coffee on the deck each morning and if too warm or windy a place inside for all to gather and connect. Big table to eat our homemade breakfasts and plan our day or then play games after an adventure packed day. Hosts let us bring in a chef who made us an unforgettable dinner and we also all participated in a yoga session one morning in the home with a local instructor ! Although remote and private this home was also near gorgeous beaches and yummy food. The week was not long enough. Thank you for sharing your home

The listing pictures truly don't do this property justice—it is even more stunning in person! We stayed in the 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom villa, and the layout was perfect for our group. The highlight was easily the outdoor space; the pool and jacuzzi offer an incredible, unobstructed view of the Atlantic Ocean that we never grew tired of.The house was beautiful, well-maintained, and exceeded all our expectations. We will definitely be staying here again!

Cliffhanger is a great house. With unobsrructed ocean views high up on a cliff, it was amazing. The house itself was spacious an clean. Maintenance seemed a bit lax, as some of the decking was loose and tile in entry was cracked. We had 5 people, and took full use of the separate cottage on property for our single son. He liked having the privacy. Cab service is non-existant as we couldnt find any company willing to come to Peterborg. Highly recommend a rental car. Magens Bay was a short 5 minute drive down a twisting road. Not within walking distance. We visited several beaches while on the island and had good experiences at all. The house was all it is advertised as. The pool was relaxing, although NOT heated as advertised. The hot tub had to be accessed up several flights of stairs. The house would not be amenable to someone needing assistance with walking as tge bedrooms are located both downstairs and upstairs. All in all it was a great stay, and we would rent there again.
