About this property

Relax in a Spa-like Space, Surrounded by White Balconies & Gorgeous Ocean Vews

Welcome to Clifftop Villa, a stunning 3 bedroom / 2 bath St Thomas property with breathtaking ocean views, also available for longer executive rentals (discount calculated when you inquire or request to book).

Clifftop will surround you with sea views through your floor-to-ceiling windows, French doors, and balconies, with sheer curtains floating in the breezes. Sink into relaxation in an elegant blend of island, traditional, and contemporary ambience tucked away on a private drive in a secluded locale. Relax on your balcony, pick papayas, wild herbs, bougainvillea, and more outside your door (in season)...visit any of our 20+ beaches (3 within 5 minutes), dine out at 16+ restaurants within 1-2 miles...or take advantage of nearby grocers and your fully stocked kitchen (pots, pans, dishes, Mikasa crystal, spices & condiments). Relax in balmy island breezes, or turn on the climate-controlled AC in every room as you enjoy 180-degree ocean views from the balconies and glass walls spanning the ocean-facing side.

In-home pampering options can be arranged: from daily cleaning or car and driver service, to luxurious in-house catered meals and indulgent afternoons of in-home spa treatments.

Stay in touch with high-speed wifi and a flatscreen web-enabled SmartTV ready for your Netflix password (or we can provide a complimentary Amazon Prime password). An outside washer/dryer laundry nook often offers a fresh breeze even doing laundry (detergent & dryer sheets provided). You're likely to see parrots, iguanas, geckos, and hear the USVI’s local tree frogs at dusk. Save time and money with Clifftop's dive-quality snorkel gear, beach towels, beach toys, reef-safe sunblock, and more. Indoor games, books, and postcards for lazy days. Plus conveniences: milled soaps, shampoos, scented lotions, pedicure tools (bring your own polish!), eye masks, phone chargers, etc.

Clifftop Villa is a 5-minute drive from 3 palm-studded beaches in your rental car (note that a car is required for Clifftop Villa: our island taxis do not like to go off the main roads).

All 3 bedrooms have Queen platform beds and memory foam mattresses with CoolGel. The light & airy master has an ensuite bath, and both get a flood of golden sunlight in the late afternoon (you’ll think you left the lights on ;-) with an ocean view from mid-room; with most of the trees gone in hurricane Irma (they’re being replaced!) you also have a view of the closest neighbor, which you can close out with blinds.

The elegant central bedroom stays dim all day with deep floor-length curtains, perfect for those who like to sleep in or get in lots of naps.

The front sunny bedroom has 4 windows, floating white curtains, balmy breezes and a small ocean view over the side porch/balcony. It shares a bath with the middle room.

Clifftop Villa is located on a private drive, in a secluded area with driveway parking for your rental car. There is sometimes a renter in a separate downstairs apartment — separate driveway, separate entrance -- available to answer questions or help out. There is an outdoor laundry alcove (washer, dryer, industrial sink, and usually detergent & dryer sheets for your use!), which is shared with the downstairs apartment.

Your nice quiet pet is welcome to visit with you, too, with prior approval and a pet deposit.

While it’s just .75 miles above the main road, Clifftop is in a quiet, remote-feeling area; our neighbors enjoy their peace and quiet, so Clifftop is not suited for parties, loud music, or late gatherings on the balcony (or late-night drives home from clubs!).

Of course, there is free Wi-Fi, parking, and AC. Getting Around: Again, a car is required, as the house is high above the bustle of the main road and off St Thomas's "safari bus route" (there is driveway parking). There are many rentals on island, but do confirm in advance, as car rentals sometimes suffer from our Caribbean island tempo! If you don’t want to drive, I can help you arrange a car and driver, but it must be arranged in advance. Most taxis do not like to go off the main roads and our bigger "safari" taxis simply can't fit!

Truth about staying on Clifftop
Stayed 9nights.Positive:spectacular views. Host not HONEST on several things.Buy trip insurance, she will put a claim in. Be aware,ride up & down the mountain is poorly kept "island roads." Not lit, very narrow & steep, w/ potholes, feel like you’re falling off a cliff. Not uncommon to lose side mirror,get car protection. VERY difficult to find &host directions are not clear. Listing says 5-min to 3 beaches,takes 20-min to get down the mountain. Master bathroom ceiling leaked. Listing states to leave snorkel gear & sunblock home as they provided “dive-quality snorkel gear, reef-safe sunblock, lotions.” Snorkel gear was old had mold(photos)& leaked so I purchased new set. (she put claim on I mask never used) Sunblock was dried out and unusable. Beach toy rotted, fell apart in our hand (yep,put a claim on too) Stated “fully stocked kitchen (condiments)”…coffee, olive oil, and condiments were expired.(photos) Put a claim on knife we found already broken along with “missing knife”, I suppose she thinks we flew it back with us? Put claim on pillowcase, said threads were separating along w/2 broken glasses? There were only hard plastic to use? Host stayed in rented space below, approaching me every time I pulled in. Accused me of having dog, she shld know I did NOT as she went inside when I was NOT there. Took down picture also noticing closet door opened. Folded our clothes from dryer which is weird. VRBOallows quiet guest which we had & cooked for,she did not like.

Mountain Top Retreat
Absolutely spectacular home with a scenic view. The house is well-stocked, and has extremely comfortable bedding and furniture. The Christmas decor was incredible, and made the rental house a home. Barb is very responsive and focused on the details (from instructions on arrival to home accessories). Be sure to rent a car with four-wheel drive to access this home. We look forward to staying at this home again.

The only downside was the drive up the mountain to the location other than that it was absolutely perfect. The owner was more than accommodating and an absolute pleasure to work with. The pictures do not do this place justice at all.

Great place to stay, very comfortable and host Barb provides all the small touch conveniences. It had everything we needed including all the beach gear and kitchen essentials. The house has a wall of windows that provide an amazing view of the water! It is also conveniently located to both Charlotte Amelie and Red Hook. Would highly recommend!

WHAT A VIEW!!!
This is an absolute gem! It's beautifully decorated, the amenities are great, attention to detail made the whole stay much easier. For example, the split unit A/C in some places can be daunting with all the buttons. The host literally has arrows pointing to the button on the remote you need to push to maximize cooling. Awesome. A well-stocked kitchen with cookware, knives, and utensils needed to cook at the property. The beds and pillows where great for all of us. Me wife and 2 daughters so thumbs up on that. Last but not least, the view... oh man, i could stay in the house all day reading a book and occasionally looking up at the stunning views. Highly recommend staying here. In fact, if the owner wants to sell it to me, please reach out. Now what others may mention but wasn't a big deal to me as we've been driving on virgin island roads for years, I will go ahead and say, getting here the first time is a bit of a task. Best the host sends you a pin for "maps" as the location doesn't exactly match up unless she does. The parking space is narrow, but it has to be, you're on the side of a mountain. Just take your time parking and doing a 3 point turn to go back down the mountain.

Our family stayed 3 days at the property and everyone was pleased. We had no trouble finding it as the directions were clear. The driveway is a little steep but so is most of the island. It was quite hot during our time there but the air conditioning units is every room worked well and kept us cool. Great experience.

Cliff top villa
The place is great, the only downside is the drive up to it and then getting back down the mountain. It is not for the faint of heart, though by the end of the week, it was much more doable. However, due to lack of street lamps etc. going up and down at night was not something I was willing to try. The views though - spectacular. Plenty of space, had pretty much everything we needed. Great property mgr as well.

Nice property
The property was nice and the pictures were very accurate. There were no issues with the water pressure or heat and it was 6 of us. The only issue is what we were warned about ahead of time which was getting to the property. The drive is not for the weak and the steep cliffs and turns require an all wheel drive vehicle. Overall the place was nice and comfortable for our group.

Incredible views. Very comfortable house and all necessary amenities. Babe was great at communicating. As others said, getting to the house takes some getting used to, with good driving skills as roads are narrow, with potholes and steep. If we go back to STT again, we’ll be staying at the villa.

Amazing views and outstanding host.
The villa commands amazing views of Frenchman's Bay and met all of our needs. Always important to us, the beds were very comfortable and the the property is well appointed. The host was very accessible for us from check in and throughout our week long stay. We communicated through text and she sent all the instructions for finding the villa and how to check-in and out without us even asking first. She was on top of our arrival and departure dates and times which was great for us. The property is high on Hawk Hill and rewards you with an outstanding view. There is a comfortable porch and furniture to enjoy the breezes. The road leading to the property is typical USVI roads but can be steep in a couple of places. We had a Ford Explorer and it had no issues and the driveway allowed us to make a 180 to always leave the property going forward and not back out. Keep left. :) Like most of the USVI the house is on a Cistern system that worked for showers and dishwashing etc. We did get bottled water for drinking and cooking throughout our stay. Potable packaged water is readily available across the island. We love the location as it sits between Redhook and main St Thomas where we spent equal time. Thanks for a great stay.

About the host

Hosted by Barb

Host profile image
A perpetual traveler (kayaker, paddleboarder, surfer, skier, snowboarder, rock & mountain climber), I love to see new places, and to share my favorite spots! The Virgin Islands are a special place, and all the more so after the hurricanes — you are helping us rebuild our island just by choosing to visit, and I am excited for you to experience Clifftop Villa firsthand!

Why they chose this property

Such gorgeous views, soothing, spa-like atmosphere. Because it’s so high up, it’s so safe, windblown, socially distanced, removed from the bustle, while still less than a mile from the main road. When I lived here, I never locked the door — in fact it was blocked open for 4 years with a handmade planter holding a local lemon tree!

What makes this property unique

Stunning water views, floor-to-ceiling windows, balcony, lovely breezes, and gracious living, five minutes from beaches and minutes from shops and ecotours — What more could you ask? ;-)
