About this property

Exquisite, private villa, centrally located and close to world-famous Magen's Bay!

Villa Gardenia- a luxurious villa nestled above the Mandahl Bay on St. Thomas’ Northside. This villa has magnificent down island views of the Caribbean Sea, St. John, Jost Van Dyke, and Tortola. Just a quick five minute drive to world-famous Magen's Bay beach, this luxurious three bedroom villa boasts impeccable furnishings and newly landscaped gardens with walking paths that create visual delights inside and out. The garden features a bubbling fountain and koi pond (Koi Pond currently not-in service - we apologize and hope to have it sorted out soon), while the covered veranda offers a relaxing space to meditate or enjoy the ocean views.

Villa Gardenia’s exceptional kitchen provides all the space and accoutrements needed to craft gourmet meals or simple casual fare. A social place in the heart of the home, the kitchen has granite countertops along three sides, with bar stools along one side for coffee, cocktails, or conversation. At its center is a five burner gas range, two electric ovens, a microwave and an array of implements and utensils that would satisfy even the most discriminating chef. A screened door off the kitchen opens to a south-facing terrace, a private walled patio with sofa, lounge chairs, and table seating for six. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast or sunbathe in the afternoon. A marble-tiled powder room is nearby. And for those needing access to the outside world, a nearby office cove includes an all-in-one copier/printer/fax/scanner. The villa is equipped with high speed internet, free whole-house Wifi, and a 27 kW generator. The laundry room is just off the kitchen and also contains a wine cooler. 

Three bedrooms, each featuring it's own ensuite bath, are located off the great room. The master suite features a king size Select Comfort Sleep Number bed and features a luxurious bathroom with two sinks, granite countertops, marble floors and walls, a raised tub, and roomy shower. Bedroom two includes a queen bed, while bedroom three features two twin-sized beds - or a king (when converted). Both secondary bedrooms have full marble baths with glass-enclosed showers. 

Guests receive daily maid service Monday through Friday. This villa is surrounded by a six foot high concrete wall in a peaceful residential area, making it a favorite of families, couples and professionals seeking a most exceptional island experience. Whether you plan to visit nearby Magens Bay, dine out at area restaurants or simply stay in to regroup, refresh and revive, Villa Gardenia is an exceptional, thoroughly enchanting residence that never disappoints.

The pictures do not do this property justice, it's truly incredible! The hot tub and pool were very nice and the kitchen was completely stocked and had ample room for cooking and entertaining. If we come back to St. Thomas we will definitely consider staying here again! John

Amazing home!

This home is amazing. The views are incredible - and everything was great. Justin was very responsive when we had a few questions - and we loved the privacy and open floor plan. The pool and hot tub were amazing - highly recommend sitting in the hot tub at night to look at the stars! Very narrow road leading up to property, so just be careful -especially at night. Google maps works great on the island - so get out and enjoy. Very close to everything - we give it 10 out of 10!

A Wonderful Experience

We could not have asked for a more beautiful and easy stay. The view from the veranda and pool deck is jaw-dropping. The house is beautifully decorated and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We did not want to leave and spent most of our vacation just hanging in.

Beautiful vacay rental

This property was amazing! It provided a luxury lifestyle with wonderland amenities. The kitchen was a chef’s dream with high-end appliances, kitchen tools, and serving ware. The view was spectacular. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and outdoor patio. The property was large so we could spread out in different locations throughout our stay. The only negative was driving up the mountain to get to it. Would definitely book again!

Absolutely lovely

This property was absolutely lovely. Nice breezes ruffling all of the beautiful plants while we gazed from the pool or hot tub out into the stunningly blue ocean. The property itself was clean, well-appointed, and welcoming. We found everything we needed. Jackie, who came to clean and take care of the pool, was thorough and just a lovely, warm person. We highly recommend this property.

Amazing home

Villa Gardenia is even more beautiful when you get there. Spotlessly clean. Very quiet location and the view can not be beat. Justin was very quick to answer phone calls, texts and emails. Edie, with Prestige Luxury was spot on with recommendations for both jeep and boat tours. She was also very helpful with restaurants as well and fun to talk to.

Beautiful Escape

As timeshare owners for many years in St Thomas, we stepped outside our usual and rented Villa Gardenia with two other couples. Everything advertised in pictures and in the written description of the property was accurate. The home is beautifully appointed and the grounds are meticulously cared for. The home is equipped with everything you could possibly need and more! The property management team, led by Justin Thomas, were attentive and quick to respond when we had a question. We highly recommend Villa Gardenia!

Perfect Villa in St Thomas

Villa Gardenia was the perfect place to wake up to and end our day at. We came down with a group of 40 people scattered around the island at various other places. It seemed everywhere we went we were 10-20 minutes from everything so it’s definitely centrally located. Its way up top the mountain and a breathtaking view of the islands and ocean overlooking the pool and gardens littered with flowers. The kitchen is huge and has everything you need and plenty of room to gather round. Our group of 6 adults appreciated how clean and luxurious this property was Justin from property mgmt was an excellent communicator and provided everything we needed in a timely manner and answered all our questions to make our stay perfect.

Fantastic Villa in Every Way

Villa Gardenia was fantastic in every way! The villa and view were even better than the photos, and it was perfectly clean. Wifi and other electronics worked great! Everything prior to, and during, our stay was easy. The concierge was very helpful with our planning (getting groceries and food trays delivered on our arrival day, booking tours, restaurant recommendations), and the housekeeper was friendly and helpful too. We spent a lot of time at the villa around the pool, in the hot tub, and using the grill and kitchen. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. We usually go to different places, but we may come back to Villa Gardenia!

Beautiful

This was a spectacular property for us. It was a little overkill for our family of three, but we loved it! We used the hot tub every day, enjoyed the extraordinary views, and loved every minute of it. The bedrooms are beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable. We felt safe and secluded. The property is located high on the hill so it is far away from the hustle and bustle and provides a peaceful getaway with an incredible view of the stars at night. Highly recommend. We also had great communication with the property owner/management and they were available for any questions we had at any time. Seemless experience.

Extraordinary Experience and Location

Let me start by saying that my trip to the USVI was too short. I needed more time to explore and relax at this beautiful property. It's everything you would want in the comforts of a home away from home. I mean everything: kitchen well stocked, lots of linens, towels, cleaning supplies, books, games, music, etc. The property is very well maintained and very clean. Our vacation was all the better because of the amenities in the house. We felt safe and comfortable coming and going at night. The location was very close to the sites we visited, especially Magens Bay. We will come back to USVI and will stay here again if available. If traveling with a group, this property offers perfect personal and privacy space. One even better would be to provide written directions in advance to guests because we lost time trying to figure out Google Maps. Once we did, it was very easy to navigate the island. Thanks to the property management team for your caring support throughout the entire process, including while on the island.

Exceeded Expectations

My husband and I had an amazing stay at Villa Gardenia. We did not want to leave. The property is gorgeous and very well-maintained. Although we did not cook in the kitchen, it is stocked with everything. Everything! Once while looking for something, even found pie weights. If this kitchen does not have it you don’t need it. The views were better than we thought, really enjoyed spending late afternoons after the beach in the pool just staring at the water, seeing boats go by etc.. The master bedroom, closet, and bath were quite spacious. The other bedrooms were also nice sized. Not mentioned in the listing is there is also a safe in the master bedroom, and in one of the other bedrooms, plus a magnifying mirror in the master bath. There were plenty of bath and beach towels, even if there were six guests. We were thankful for the back up generator, since there were power outages during our stay. Would definitely recommend renting a car if you’re comfortable driving there. The only recommendation I would make is wish the property had bathrobes which is minor. Justin and Chloe were awesome and so was the housekeeper, Jacky. We have stayed at many villas throughout the Caribbean and other areas and this is definitely one of the top ones. Cannot wait to return.
