About this property

Villa Eau Claire - Magens Bay Affordable Beachfront Villa

Villa Eau Claire is a private gated affordable beachfront home directly situated on Magens Bay. Walk into the water at roughly half the price of any other waterfront home in the Virgin Islands. The property has 4 private individual villas each with breathtaking views of the bay. The Seahorse Villa is a 2 Bed/1 Bath unit located right on a stretch of a secluded beach in the world-famous Magens Bay. This private St. Thomas vacation villa rental offers a world of natural beauty and serenity to discerning travelers. Nestled amid lush vibrant flowers and tropical trees with an enormous vista of shimmering bay waters right at your disposal, this is the perfect oasis for discovering the true meaning of a Caribbean paradise. In addition to the peaceful seclusion provided by the villa, guests will find the vibrant nightlife, charming boutiques, and fine dining restaurants of St. Thomas just twenty minutes away from home. Whatever brings you to St. Thomas, once you stay with us you will join the many number of our guests who return and tell their friends and relatives, "Stay at Villa Eau Claire. It was extraordinary."

This villa measures 1,000 square feet and is situated at a small elevation just above the sandy beach, accessible via a short stairway. Inside a spacious living room has been comfortably furnished for leisurely afternoons spent indoors, and a kitchen has been well-equipped for your convenience. A wraparound deck runs the length of the unit, offering premier al fresco living/dining experiences – especially beautiful when the sun sets each night.

This villa has two bedrooms that can comfortably accommodate up to four guests, an ideal oasis for a small family vacation or two couples traveling together to St. Thomas. The first bedroom features a plush king bed, while the second has a queen bed.
Villa Eau Claire has undergone recent renovations to the property. Freshly painted, beautiful new landscaping, outdoor lighting, and new decor make this villa relaxing and enjoyable. The villas are large and inviting and the bedrooms private and peaceful. Once you have experienced this idyllic location you will return year after year. The warm Caribbean breezes that gently blow through each villa make air conditioning unnecessary.
The sound of the waves below will lull you to sleep each night. We invite you to come relax on our secluded beach with friends/family and truly soak in the beauty of this very special property.
Experience the ultimate getaway to the Caribbean when you reserve a stay at this beautiful and private St. Thomas villa.

Paradise found

Beautiful villa overlooking Magen's Bay offered the perfect amount of solitude and relaxation. We spent our days relaxing in the sun and snorkeling with sea turtles, rinse and repeat.

A great find!

Fantastic. 6 days of relaxing, snorkeling, dining, resting. The island has a great pace, plenty of time for reading, hiking, swimming with the turtles, and a day trip to St. John. The accommodations were just excellent. Hosts are available and responsive, but not obtrusive in any way. We’ll be back.

A Movie Scene!

This place sets the mood! On the side of mountain cliff with a private staircase down to a landing, go right and find a perch with two chairs overlooking beautiful Megan’s Bay, go left to a private beach! Every morning watching sea turtles, pelican and iguanas while we enjoyed our coffee. The balcony view into and across the bay was a movie scene! An amazing place and host!

We had a great time staying here, beautiful property with even better views and scenery. Rick is an excellent host. We had the greatest time exploring the island and relaxing in the private swimming hole. We would come back again in a heartbeat! Thanks for making everything so accommodating Rick!

Best Experience Ever

It was our first time coming to St. Thomas and we couldn’t have picked a better spot to stay! With the private beach access in Magen’s Bay, we felt like it was paradise! The property was so quiet and quaint, we felt like it was a home away from home. We loved waking up to the sting rays and swimming with all the sea turtles in the crystal clear water.

Rare waterfront location on Magen’s Bay

This place was in a great location with beautiful views. For VI first timers they conveniently meet you at the airport to drive to the place which was awesome. Owner was super accommodating, found snorkel gear for us and showed us around the island a bit. Great place!

Breathtaking view

We loved our stay! Couldn't have been happier with the location, secluded and peaceful. We saw sea turtles everyday, Little Magens beach was private and perfect for snorkeling. The view from our balcony was truly breathtaking. Alot of stairs but well worth it

Beautiful villa by the sea

The villa was spacious and clean with a lovely view of sea turtles, pelicans and iguanas from the balcony where we ate each day. The pocket beach down the stairs offered fun snorkeling and everything on the island is a 20 minute or less drive away.

Beautiful Getaway

The vista is gorgeous. Watching the teeming schools of fish, the hunting tarpon, the flocks of diving birds, and the sea turtles in the bay at your feet is amazing. We snorkeled and lazed in the water, relaxed and counted the iguanas in the trees from the comfort of the clean and well-appointed condo. Owners are easy to interact with and the rental process was a breeze.

Phenomenal

Absolutely phenomenal stay at Villa Eau Claire in Magen's Bay! From the breathtaking views of the bay to the impeccable cleanliness of the property, every aspect exceeded our expectations. The house was spacious, beautifully furnished, and had all the amenities we could ask for. The proximity to the beach made for convenient daily outings, while the tranquility of the surroundings provided a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and responsive, ensuring our stay was nothing short of perfection. Without a doubt, this VRBO in Magen's Bay earns a solid five stars, and we cannot wait to return for another unforgettable vacation experience!

Amazing Stay

Our stay was great! We had an amazing time. Communication was awesome. Highly recommend. We walked over to Magen's beach 4 out of the 8 days during our stay through the water (about a ten minute walk) and the beach was not crowded at all and super relaxing. We spoke to lots of other visitors to St Thomas and they were very jealous of our accommodations :)

Fantastic Location!

We had a great week at Villa Eau Claire. Rick was very responsive to all of my questions. You have direct access to your own little beach on one of the prettiest beaches in the Virgin Islands. The wildlife was amazing - we enjoyed the pelicans - they put on quite a show for you as they dive-bomb right in front of you, you can see the sea turtles swimming from the deck and the iguanas roaming around as well. A truly amazing experience. Parking was tight…but I think that just goes with anywhere on the island. Overall, it was a super relaxing and fantastic week!

Excellent Stay at Villa Eau Claire

We are a family of four and stayed at the Villa in February. The view from the property and the location are excellent. Julia was great and met us at the airport and guided us to the grocery store, then the villa. We walked over to Magen's Bay multiple times but also enjoyed the pocket beach on the property. Also took a day trip over to St John, which is highly recommended. Thanks to Rick (and Julia) for letting us experience your villa.

Great location!

The house is located in a perfect location on Magen's Bay with just a few steps down to the water. We loved being able to walk down at any time and swim or snorkel or walk to Magen's Beach. The views from the deck are amazing, and we loved sitting out there and watching the boats, turtles, iguanas, birds, etc. The villa was very clean and comfortable for a family of 4. The only minor complaint is that the parking and driveway can be a bit tricky to get in and out of when all the units are occupied, but overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return again someday!

Perfect Location with an Amazing Beach

What an amazing place! Clean and comfortable villa with a perfect view of the bay from the deck. Personal beach with easy access and only a short walk. We ventured to Magens beach but preferred relaxing and snorkeling from the personal beach at the Villa. We couldn't get enough of snorkeling in the clear calm waters, and watching sea turtles and iguanas from the deck. Hard to leave, but we can't wait to come back in the future! Thanks Rick and Chris!
