Paradise On A Hill

The home was beautiful, and pictures are an exact match. I celebrated my birthday with my sister on the island and Stacy left a beautiful bday welcome gift. The house was very clean and there were plenty snacks, toiletries and appliances left for our use. Location was perfect, nothing was really more than 20-25 minutes away. Stacy was very helpful even before our arrival and her was response time was quick. 10/10 would recommend and stay again.

St. Thomas visit 1/23/24 through 2/1/24

The positives: The location is good, but a rental car is a must. The unit itself was very clean and tidy and as described. The beds are very comfy and both bedrooms have ceiling fans and adequate air conditioning. Both bathrooms, while somewhat small were clean and fully functional and nicely equipped with soaps, shampoo, towels, etc. The kitchen is also clean and well equipped with glassware, bowls, plates and cookware. The coffee maker is a Keurig and has a wide selection of K-cups available to use. The kitchen also has a quiet ceiling fan to cool things down. The living room is very comfy and well situated for TV viewing and conversations and it also has air conditioning and a ceiling fan. The deck is a pleasant spot with a small sofa for enjoying the view. The slider to the deck is heavy (not horrible) and takes a little effort to open. The blinds had a couple broken slats (one in the kitchen and one in the living room, not a big deal and I reported them to the property manager. As far as the property manager, they were responsive and easy to communicate with. All information was provided in a timely manner to access the property. The negatives: The property was advertised as having a hot tub, unfortunately and disappointingly it does “not” have a hot tub. According to the property manager this was a typo in the ad. To add further disappointment to the situation, the swimming pool area and pool itself are not clean.

Immaculately Clean, Great Views

This place was SPARKLING clean. It was well stocked, minus a pasta strainer! 🤣 Beach chairs, beach towels and really comfortable beds with soft linens and comfy pillows were great! Great spot to rest at night. We'd definitely stay here again!

Great Property

Very well furnished and very clean and updated. Everything was great and communication with owner was top notch. The only drawback if you call it that was that you need a car to get there which is no big deal. Would definitely stay again

misleading photos and description

The condo project is in very poor shape and is not being maintained well in my opinion. The wood decks and stairs are unsafe in my opinion. They are rotting and being propped up by 2x4s sitting in the dirt. The outside of the unit smelled of cat urine as many feral cats are on the property. Lots of debris and trash laying around the property and parking lots. The parking lots are in very poor shape and not being maintained. Pool area is very small with no views. The unit has a small view of the distant water but most of the view is of other buildings. There are good reasons the owner only shows very narrow views of the property and no views of the outside of the overall property. The property appears to be largely occupied by local residents. The property was substantially overpriced. We have stayed in the BVI and VI multiple times. This unit is not on our return list. When we complained, the host tried to blame the past hurricane. The last significant hurricane was five years ago. The inside of the unit was average. The unit has two bedrooms but only has a 19 gallon water tank. An average shower consumes 17 gallons. Do the math. The kitchen has a nice coffee service but is otherwise poorly equipped. Very small bathrooms. Furnishings are average. We asked to communicate with the owner about leaving the unit but the "host" would not provide contact information. We suspected she might be the owner. The host did not address our concerns.

BY FAR THE BEST RENTAL I EVER STAYED AT!

Usually I don’t leave reviews, but I feel this one is worth my time. It’s all in the details! I have stayed at plenty of vacation rentals that are nice, but you can tell the furniture is cheaply made or uncomfortable. This condo has amazing beds, sofa and patio furniture!!! I literally felt like I was in a real home not a rental. It actually had paper plates, utensils, and cups. The variety of K-cups, creamers, and sugars was everything! However the icing on the cake for me was the iron! Before the increased price and. lowered weight capacity for luggage I would actually bring my iron with me on vacation, because you could never get a good one in a hotel. Imagine my joy when I saw the iron was a CHI! That along with everything everyone else mentioned in their reviews, made for an extremely comfortable stay. Host responded within minutes every time. which is rare. Normally I would have to take pics of every damage I see as a CYA as soon as I walk into a rental for the first time. I got to skip that part because there weren’t any! I wish all vacation rentals were like this one!

Ocean view with nice amenities

Condo is very nice, just as pictured. Great quality furnishings and bedding. Owner had 4 great quality beach chairs for us to use which was extremely nice since they are so portable. Beach towels were also available. The condo is very central to everything on the island, seemed everything was 15-20 minutes away. Suggest buying dinner or food on arrival day to bring home with you as there is no place that delivers and if you are unfamiliar with St Thomas driving in the dark is undesirable. Owner is very attentive. Overall, great place to stay.

Great place

Great experience for our first stay on St Thomas. The place had everything we needed and was very clean. Unfortunately, you cannot walk to the closest beach from here, but we knew this. But we were disappointed we could not really walk safely anywhere from here. The roads are very narrow. Megan’s Bay / beach is a great place to go from here.

Great apartment in St Thomas

We found it a very nice and reasonably spacious apartment for our family of four. The place was clean and modern as advertised and the property manager Stacey responsive to emails and questions. Magen’s beach was a 5-7 min drive away so we didn’t use the pool. Would certainly use again.

Excellent condo

What a refreshing experience with renting a VRBO. The condo exceeded my expectations with cleanliness, local and response time from the owner. The condo is spotless and furniture is newer and well maintained. I could have slept the day away in the king size bed with the most comfortable bedding. I loved the added touches like a Kuerig storage rack and every kind a sweetener under the sun along with a welcome package, hand sanitizers wipes and extra masks. I highly recommend this VRBO!
