Beautiful/ relaxing
This was a beautiful property. Great views, pool, hot tube, outdoor eating area. Owner's helped us with anything we needed, gave us info on things to door, overall great friendly people!!! If there was one thing that was a negative, the walk to the beach we only did once because of the extreme hill and the crazy walk . It was very difficult and alittle scary with traffic.

Beautiful birthday celebration
Celebrated my mom’s 70th birthday. The house was set up perfectly for my mom to have her own space while my husband and I also had our own space. Our favorite part was the view and spending our mornings watching the storms move in and out. Gail was very accommodating. Would return again.

Home away from home!!
From beginning to end, this was the easiest vacation booking we’ve ever done. Miss Gail is so communicative and answers every message in a timely manner. She and her husband hosted us and we had the most incredible time. Her home is exactly as described in the listing. We had privacy and the location was perfect. Pool is an incredible afternoon. Reward from a long day at the beach. This was our third trip to St. Thomas and on our fourth return we will definitely be staying with Miss Gail!!!

Gail made everything easy from getting there to getting settled. She also provided us with a great deal of local knowledge to help us enjoy our stay even more.

Incredible view and host!
This was our first trip to St. Thomas and we loved our stay at Gail's wonderful place! The view from the patio is amazing and where I spent all my time. To get that view, you need to be comfortable with a hilly/steep drive. It doesn't require a Jeep. Our rented Nissan Versa did fine. After you do the drive a couple of times, you get used to it! I've stayed in a lot of tropical rental places and this one was the cleanest ever (no bugs)! Gail is a great host who respects your privacy but is readily available for recommendations and good chats!

Wonderful honeymoon location
This property has everything you need to have a wonderful stay on Saint Thomas! From the great views to the nice pool and spa to a full kitchen space and comfortable beds...what more could we ask for?! Our hospitality was splendid and our hosts were more then willing to help us out with anything needed. The home is located high up on the hill and getting a cab proved difficult at times but with the right driver everything can be accomplished! Huge thank-you to the Ferraria's for the wonderful space!

About the host

Hosted by Gail

Host profile image
Born in Trinidad (West Indies), St. Thomas (US Virgin Islands) has been my home for 5+ decades. I LOVE my Caribbean culture, history and community! "Ocean Kaleidoscope" has grown to represent this unique island life. Giving travelers from all over the World the opportunity to share its incredibly beautiful vistas, learn about the colorful history, experience the verdant culture, and appreciate the authentic and diverse community. I’m also an animal advocate, rescuer, foster, adopter… and supporter of the Humane Society of St. Thomas & "Pet With Wings" Program. https://www.petswithwingsstt.com/volunteer?

Why they chose this property

This corner lot, at 300 feet above sea level, is within short driving distance to the nearby town of Red Hook. The steady breezes gently carry away the distant sounds of civilization, creating the feeling of seclusion, while only being 2-15 minutes away from pristine beaches (the nearest within 1/4 mile and 3 minutes driving), savory island cuisine, exhilarating marine adventure, shopping bonanzas, water sports, and island hopping.

What makes this property unique

With dynamic ocean views of the salty playground below, the view is alive with boats of every description, beaches, resorts, and islands of adventure. Day or night, each changing image is more spellbinding than the next. The combination of the elements, vistas, location, amenities, decor, and service create an envious vacation stay!

The EXPERIENCE:
Tropical breezes, sounds of crashing beach surf, cacophony of native wildlife, dancing butterflies, vibrant color skies and moonlit ocean waves are just some of the sensory surprises. Enjoy the sunrise or sunset as you meditate, workout, read, dine or dance on any of the spacious patios or decks. Bask in the crystal clear unheated pool and/or soothing spa, surrounded by a tropical landscape under the sun or a star-filled night sky.
