About this property

Stunning, Oceanfront Villa on 1.5 very private acres, just minutes to Magens Bay

As featured on HGTV and winner of 'BANG FOR YOUR BUCK' in St Thomas. This recently renovated and secluded villa resides majestically on the hillside, 200 feet above the Atlantic Ocean. Wake up to the sound of the Atlantic Ocean crashing onto the rocks below. Cliffhanger is located in the best location on the island, the peninsula of Peterborg. Peterborg separates Magens Bay from the Atlantic and is comprised of exclusive villas. Cliffhanger also sits in the prime location within a private, secure, and gated community at the end of the private road. You will have total privacy but will still be close to many island attractions. Once you park and enter through the stone exterior wall of the property, you will be greeted by spectacular views of the Atlantic and various islands including St. John, Jost van Dyke and Tortola. The home is located less than 20 minutes from both the airport, the nightlife in Red Hook, and the ferry to St. John. It is also only 2 miles from world famous Magens Bay beaches and just 5 minutes to the renowned Old Stone Farmhouse restaurant. This is the perfect vacation home for a family, 2 to 4 couples wanting the ultimate get away, or a honeymooning couple wanting a memory to last a lifetime. The villa has a heated plunge pool, a hot tub, and a whole house generator to insure a wonderful stay on the island.

You also can have all the amenities of a resort if you so choose. Our Villa manager will greet you at the airport and show you to the villa and make your stay wonderful. He will then get you acquainted and answer questions... Other services that are available include daily housekeeping, grocery services, onsite massage, onsite yoga chefs services, and water excursions on a private vessel (please inquire at time of booking to give us time to arrange). We pride ourselves on our personal service. You will love it!

Best trip ever!
We recently stayed at this stunning rental house in St. Thomas, and it was truly a dream vacation! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking ocean views that greeted us from every room. Waking up to the sight of the ocean each morning was an absolute delight. The house itself is beautifully designed and immaculately maintained. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, each with its own unique view of the surrounding beauty. The fully-equipped kitchen made it easy for us to prepare meals, and we loved having breakfast on the main deck while watching the sailboats drift by. One of the highlights of our stay was the private pool and hot tub. It was the perfect spot to relax and unwind after a day of exploring the island. We spent many afternoons lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun, and taking in the serene atmosphere.The location of the house is ideal. It’s close to some of the most beautiful beaches we’ve ever seen, and just a short drive to local markets and restaurants. We visited Magens Bay and even took a day trip to nearby St. John, both of which were fantastic. The convenience of being able to explore the island and return to such a luxurious home base made our vacation truly special. Robert and Sally were both incredibly responsive and provided us with great recommendations for dining and activities. Their attention to detail and hospitality made us feel right at home. Overall, our stay exceeded all expectations.

Beautiful villa
We had a great stay in St. Thomas. The views from the balconies were absolutely stunning. The house was very nice and very clean. We rented a car at the airport and Sally met us there and we followed her back to the house which was very helpful, especially the tour of the home that she provided. the owner was very responsive to any questions that we had and quick to answer. Overall had a great experience and would definitely recommend anyone staying here.

Gorgeous Get-Away in a Perfect Location
This is a truly beautiful and unique property - the listing information accurately portrays the home and surroundings. Nestled up on the cliffside, you have a stunning view and total privacy. The rooms are comfortable and very well appointed - plenty of extra towels, blankets, basic cooking supplies, snorkels, beach chairs, etc. We appreciated the split lay-out with private bathrooms for all of us. This would be an idea home for couples traveling together (or in my case, parent traveling with several teens) - everyone has their own space, even private balconies. The drive is a little harrowing, but such is driving on the island! The home's location on the cliffside, at the end of a gated, private road offers peace of mind and privacy. I can't imagine trying to find it on my own, so I was very appreciative that they have a property manager meet you at the airport to lead the way ....first taking you by the grocery store. Take advantage of that service, because finding your way back down the mountain at night is probably not a great plan for Day 1 of your vacation :) Another huge plus is the location on the Petersborg peninsula. You can quickly get to everywhere you need to go (especially the best beach you could hope for, Magen's Bay), while still feeling tucked away from the world. Quick drive into Charlotte Amalie for shopping and dock for snorkeling excursions. Similarly short drive to Red Hook for watersports and dining. Strongly recommend this little gem!

Paradise in view
This place is wonderful and on top of the world it seems. The views and breezes are excellent. It’s so nice that supplies are available in the house for laundry and kitchen which makes it convenient. There are plenty of towels, soap, paper products, etc. The bar and refrigerator even had some beverages left from past vacationers *bonus*. Rob was really easy to reach for any questions or suggestions. Be prepared for driving very steep, narrow, curvy roads on the left side of the road. Meagan’s Bay beach and Coki Beach Point are beautiful and at Coki, there’s more of a local flair. We experienced carnival week and Jouvert! This was a vacation of a lifetime.

Amazing trip in amazing location
Would have been very easy for this trip to go poorly as our initial flights got cancelled due to the tropical storm. Robert (and Sally) were extremely helpful as soon as we notified them we wouldn't be getting in as expected and met us the next day when we were able to arrive. The home had been cleaned up and you would have had no idea a storm had just come through. Felt immediately relaxed and at home upon arrival. Couldn't recommend more and we look forward to returning soon!

Wonderful Stay at Estate Peterborg Cliffhanger!
This is a beautiful property in a safe gated community with awesome views. We were at the end of a drive in a gated community. The views have to be the best on the island. Wonderful deck to enjoy in the evening and pool overlooking the ocean. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom and the property was well-stocked with ordinary kitchen items. Our host, Rob, was outstanding and very responsive to any need or question. We would love to stay again!

Million Dollar Views at Cliffhanger
We stayed with 8 adults at the Cliffhanger and had a great time! The views can’t be beat. It is helpful to know that you are very secluded so expect to drive about 20 minutes to most restaurants (on windy, hilly roads!). Magen’s Bay is closer and that was our favorite spot.

Beautiful and well appointed property
Beautiful views, seclusion and a full range of amenities make this property amazing. The property manager was helpful and responsive, as was the property owner. The house is very well equipped, and the views are outstanding. Loved waking up every morning to the sunrise over the ocean. Each bedroom having its own full bath and its own AC unit was very helpful and the pool, hot tub, exercise room and multiple outdoor spaces were amazing. Would highly recommend!

Our family had a wonderful time staying in Cliffhanger. Everything was well maintained. Great communication with property manager. Our kids loved the pool and jacuzzi, but the overall highlight was the incredible views, whether inside or out. Quick drive to Magen’s Bay.

Beautiful views, plenty of space, unbelievable experience
The first and best thing you'll notice from this villa is the view. It is absolutely gorgeous, and can be seen from every room on the property. There was plenty of room for our 7 guests, and the four different bedrooms gave everyone their own space and own bathroom. The pool was an excellent way to stay cool, and the hot tub was great for relaxation. Plenty of lounge chairs to hang out in the sun, and the ACs in the villa will keep you cool when you want to escape the heat. One of the villa managers met us at the airport, escorted us to a local supermarket, and then escorted us to the villa to ease the burden of driving in an unfamiliar area. The owner was very quick with his responses to any questions I had, making communication a breeze. All my guests were constantly complimenting me on this find, so I would HIGHLY recommend Cliffhanger to any and all!

Incredible! Beautiful! SO MUCH FUN!
First a little about our party- 6 adults (kid free)! This property, with the bonus cottage was perfect, allowing us to spread out and have space. PROs: Space, Exceptional Views, fun rotation of hot and pool, air flowing through the house with sliding doors over the water, Lots of basic utensils and appliances, clean, home gym with it's own balcony was perfect for our fitness friends, feels like home! I could go on forever on how great this 5-star property is! Decks, chairs, more views, so many options to relax and take in the views. CONs: My only recommendations (I don't consider them true CONs just a note for others) Wouldn't recommend small children (pool, over the cliffs ect you get the point) and MUST rent a car! We did in fact rent a For Explorer and it made traveling around the island a breeze (but may not be for everyone). If you are want seclusion, to relax between adventures, a quiet place with stunning views and feeling like you are on top the world, this is the place for you! 5 mins to Magens Bay, 5 mins to great coffee, 5 mins to amazing dinner at the Old Stone Farmhouse, 15-25 mins to just about everything else you could want! So stock up on drinks and groceries and book this place!!!

Gorgeous property!!
Our family of 6 absolutely loved our visit to Cliffhanger in St Thomas!! My husband called the view “unparalleled”! The house was so unique with many interesting touches- windows opening the house up to nature & a porthole in the 1/2 bath! There was plenty of room for everyone with en-suite bathrooms & gorgeous views from many decks. The kitchen was well equipped & stocked, easy to make big breakfasts for the family! We enjoyed the pool & hot tub! Sally met us at the airport & brought us directly to the house to get us settled in. Robert was very responsive to any questions & had many helpful suggestions. My only complaint and it is SO minor was we had 2 rental cars & would need to perform a 5 point turn in order to turn the cars around to leave but the fact that this stunning home is on a cliff above the ocean doesn’t leave a lot of room for parking! We are hoping to return to Cliffhanger again soon!!
