Over the Moon for 2 Moons Over Magens Bay

My husband and I loved staying here. We wanted a nice place without a touristy resort vibe and this felt like we had a home in the US Virgin Islands. It was so thoughtful to have breakfast foods stocked so we could relax in the mornings. We also were grateful for the beach chairs. towels & cooler to use on our beach excursions. Cindie & Jon gave us advice on what to see & do and were readily available to answer questions. Loved meeting Petey& Lily!

St Thomas - Megan’s Bay mountainside

Great place to stay. Beautiful view from the deck, tree frog serenade each evening. Well equipped including beach chairs, floats and cooler. Host provided a nice starter kit for breakfast, ice and a welcome gift. She also went out of her way to make sure we were pleased and made it a very special week. Would stay here again in a minute, we hated to have to come home

Romantic mountain getaway

Lovely hosts thought of every amenity needed for a romantic and efficient getaway. Their beautiful mountain property had scenic views, tree-frog serenades, and island breezes. It was very special experience of St Thomas mountain top lifestyle. Accessing the last few hundred feet of the road leading to the unit is very doable but does require confident driving skills, so just take it slow and maybe use low gear and you will make it safely. Highly recommend. Enjoy your stay.

Lovely Spot -Thoughtful Attention to Guest Needs

Cindie was very kind and made it clear that if there was anything we needed to let her know, But her forethought made that unnecessary. We appreciated the amount of pre-stocked basics along with coffee, eggs, English muffins etc. The bottle of rum and some cokes was a nice touch. There were also many basics in the fridge. (Condiments etc) We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Beach chairs, towels and a cooler for beach outings (even some sunscreen) and beautiful breezes to enjoy upon our return up the mountain. The pictures don’t do justice to the lovely windows/screens that extend the full length of the rental, (beautifully maintained.) for constant enjoyment of the topical breezes and chirping of the coqi! And the deck was lovely. We enjoyed the creative touches throughout the apartment. The tropical landscaping was lovely too. The road up to rental was a challenge the first couple of times (not uncommon on St. Thomas) but was worth the effort!

View is extraordinary! Site worth every penny!

This property was everything that was represented in the pictures I reviewed on the VRBO site. While getting to the location is an adventure (roads are extremely uphill!), it was well worth it once we arrived. I would suggest an SUV as a must for staying (basically anywhere on STT), but this site needs a car that has a higher clearance due to the hills. We had to take our first car back and get an SUV. You can enjoy the sounds of owls, crickets and roosters at all hours of the day! There are hummingbirds and skinks and small salamanders all around the property. The view is spectacular, the patio overlooks Megan's Bay, and you can see Tortola and other islands in the distance as well. There is a Zipline place just below their property, and Mountaintop is a couple miles in the opposite direction from your stay. Mountaintop sets at an elevation of 1526 feet, and this site is not much below that! Mountaintop is great place to buy towels to take to the beach, as well as quality jewelry and other souvenirs--go here first to buy! Views and pictures are spectacular, although pics don't do it justice! Cindie & Jon were wonderful, we had great communication with them before and during our stay (we got lost coming to the site initially!) GPS worked well for us most of the time on both STT & St. John. We dropped a Pin at the site, so it was easier when we returned from our adventures. After the first couple of days, we had the route down and was able to turn GPS off sooner as we became familiar. Encourage you to take the car barge over to St. John at least one day--go to Trunk Bay! GO EARLY, the time flies while over on St.John, and the last ferry back leaves at 5:30. This last ferry is typically very full, so we left at 4:30 to avoid any delays/issues. Two of our favorite places to eat were Greengo's (they have locations on both STT & STJ, although STJ is slightly better) and Tickles Dockside Pub on STT. Take PLENTY of sunscreen, as it is hard to find on the islands! Cindie & Jon provided great scuba gear, chairs, floats & even a cooler if needed. The Cruzan Rum & Cokes they provide was a nice touch, as we needed a drink after getting lost coming to the site! :-) They have wifi & movies as well as Hulu if you're interested. We used Hulu one evening, otherwise we were out of the unit for the most part, only coming home in the evenings at bedtime. Great bonding time for me & my daughter!

Best hosts ever!

Cindie is the ideal host - friendly, extremely helpful and full of information, a great communicator, and John is an extremely talented builder and artist. It only took one day to conquer the challenge of finding their remarkable home high above the most beautiful beach in the island. The room in the lower level was perfectly comfortable and well equipped and the view from the deck was drop dead gorgeous! I think the location was the best area in the island to experience the beauty of St. Thomas during our 4 days of adventures there before traveling to St. John. It was very hard to leave!

No running water, property is difficult to get to

Arrived to vrbo on Sunday 1/23/22, upon arrival there was no running water, owner was on site and said it would be fixed in a couple of hours. We left the apartment and came back that evening. Once we arrived they turned the water on and said it would be off again on 1/24. We had plans to be gone from the apartment during the day on 1/24 so we agreed and told them that we would be in the apartment all day on Wednesday 1/25 and we would need water. On Tuesday evening the owner turned the pump on for a few hours so we could shower and use the toilet. On Wednesday morning, the water went off at 0845am with no notification prior and remained off. At 1430, we contacted the owner again and said we needed to have running water on our vacation. No response received. We decided to leave the apartment as the toilet was full and no communication if water would be turned back on. Our ride arrived at 1650pm on Wednesday and the owners husband had a hose hanging down in front of our unit creating a trip hazard. He said “sorry you didn’t like the place”. We told him that we expected to have running water while we were there and he said “there hasn’t t been any water issues”. We asked for a refund and we were told to “read our contract”. We contacted VRBO but still no resolution. We had to pay for additional lodging for the rest of our trip. In addition to no running water, there is mold in the closet, they have cups tied to the metal rungs on the ceiling and a 5lb Folgers coffee container. It’s not at all the relaxing experience we were needing. The view is limited by overgrowth of foliage and we couldn’t get a taxi to come to the location. The owner told us that she’s tired of doing property management and they are leaving the island before hurricane season. The quality of the property shows that they are indeed tired of it. We wanted to have some peace and instead end up fighting about no running water for days. It’s sad and unacceptable. We have video, pictures and text messages to prove there was no running water and yet they are denying it. Find another property and enjoy your island time!

Great place to stay!

This is a nice, private spot to stay if you’re visiting St. Thomas! Definitely rent a Jeep, as it’s pretty steep roads to access the property. Jon and Cindie were amazing hosts, answering any questions we had. Rum and Cokes were a nice touch! Beach towels, snorkel gear, beach chairs and cooler were available for us to use. TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime. Internet isn’t the best, but we were out and about most of the time anyway. Conveniently located to Magen’s Bay! It cost us $12 per day to visit Magen’s Bay Beach, which was only 14 minutes away. Some restaurants and stores are only 10-15 minutes away, but other things you’ll have to drive 20-25 minutes to get to. All in all, I’d consider this a conveniently located place to stay! No air conditioning at all, but if you keep all the doors/windows open (with the screens closed of course) and the fans on, it isn’t much of an issue. We were hot some nights but overall it got cool enough at night that we were able to sleep well enough. The SOUNDS at night is what makes this place unique- it sounds like you’re sleeping in a tropical rainforest! We’ve never experienced anything like it before. Jon and Cindies’s recommendations for places to eat and drink were pretty spot on, although some of the places listed in the book were closed or had different hours than listed (probably due to COVID). Ferry schedule was different. Just be sure to double-check everything online or call ahead before you go. Cash only on the ferry! We learned the hard way… Be sure you book a sailboat cruise that includes snorkeling! We booked via VIDaySailing for the sunset cruise. Included dinner, two snorkeling spots and we learned TONS of history about the islands. Best day of our trip, hands down! If you’re on the fence about booking Two Moons, just go ahead and do it!

This was a wonderful place with stunning views. Normally we don't spend much night where we stay, but we loved it here so much we bought groceries and cooked in most nights to enjoy it more. Cindie was a fantastic host, and has a book of maps and things to do made up. They were available to us whenever we needed. It was so nice to have a peaceful place to come back to after our day activities. Highly recommend!

What makes this property unique

The apartment is private and quiet surrounded by lush tropical rain forest with a great view of Magens Bay. From the deck you can enjoy the sugar birds and hummingbirds while grilling dinner on the gas BBQ.
