About this property

Featured on HGTV! Sea Cliff Villa at Bolongo Bay

Featured on Season 13 of HGTV's Beachfront Bargain Hunt, episode title "Family Retreat on St. Thomas." We've created a home away from home with a laid back beach vibe, ready for your next trip to paradise!

This breathtaking oceanfront vacation villa is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath located on Bolongo Bay on the south side of beautiful St. Thomas, USVI! At a spacious 1,260 SF, there is plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy island life.

Sea Cliff Villa, Unit 20-21 is privately owned and operated, non-smoking, featuring central air-conditioning, comfortable living room, 2 oceanfront balconies, fully renovated bathrooms and fully equipped kitchen and washer/dryer. Each bedroom features a king bed. The villa is beautifully decorated in hues of the ocean, with beautiful views and beach decor throughout.

Sea Cliff Villa has one of the best locations on the island, with amazing views of the Caribbean from the living room, kitchen and master bedroom. This villa's location welcomes breezes from the tropical trade winds throughout the day (you may not even need the A/C!), and uninterrupted views of the water and neighboring islands. Fall asleep to the sound of the ocean every night, just outside your door!

The Ocean View Room (master bedroom) features a king size bed, plenty of hanging and drawer storage, and access to an oceanfront balcony. The Ocean View Room features a luxurious ensuite bathroom, with an oversized shower and vanity.

The Starfish Room (guest bedroom) also features a king bed, plenty of drawer and hanging storage including a large closet, and a full bathroom just down the hall.

For guests wishing to stay with up to 5 guests, a queen size air mattress or a pull-out queen sleeper sofa is available by request. This additional bed can be set up in the large living area or pulled out from the sofa.

The spacious living room has a large flat screen smart TV with DVD player and cable. Living room seating includes a large sectional couch and chair, and two seagrass barstools are adjacent to the living space at the counter area.

The fully equipped kitchen includes everything you could need to cook and enjoy your time on the island! Stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, pots/pans, utensils, plates and drinkware are all provided. The kitchen area also features a high-top dining table that comfortably seats 4, with breathtaking views of the ocean from every seat!

Other villa amenities include: in-unit washer and dryer, linens and towels, including beach towels, hair dryers in each bathroom, and an auto-locking front door that allows you to enjoy the beach or pool without the hassle of a key!

On-site amenities include: 2 restaurants (Iggies Oasis and Mim's Seaside Bistro), access to 3 swimming pools, Bolongo Bay Beach, water sports including personal watercraft, paddle boards, aqua tricycles and much more. The Heavenly Days catamaran departs from Bolongo Bay Beach, and makes sails to nearby Buck Island to snorkel with the sea turtles.

St. Thomas and the US Virgin Islands have endless possibilities for you to create the vacation of your dreams! Unlimited dining options, some of the world's best beaches, shopping, family activities, nightlife and much more is all within just a few minutes from your front door.

Sea Cliff Villa is a short drive (or reasonable taxi ride) from the Cyril E. King Airport (STT)- no passport required for travel to the USVI from the USA! While taxis are available at the airport and major tourist areas, we highly recommend renting a car to explore all that the island has to offer!

Please note that your rental is for the villa only. While we keep our listing us updated and accurate as possible, we cannot guarantee the availability of other amenities on-site or on-island during your stay.

Beautiful Views
This is a great condo with beautiful views just like the pictures on the website & it has everything you need to enjoy your vacation, although we didn’t make time to use the pools they looked really nice. Sara was great & very quick to respond to any questions we had. A word of caution DON’T skip the bug spray we got bit up the first night when we ate at Iggy’s food was good but bugs terrible & my adult daughter had red bites all over legs she itched the rest of the week which made it miserable for her we seen several people at the airport going home with bites on their legs also some got the bites on one of the beaches. Bug spray is your friend here.

Amazing, well equipped home
Everything about this home is perfect. It has lots of extras you can use such as snorkeling gear, pool noodles, cooler. Kitchen is very well equipped. AC worked great, they also provide lots of fans. 3 pools to choose from and pickleball and tennis courts. Host was a great communicator, graciously allowed us to check in early after a long day of travel. We hope to stay here again

What an incredible place
There isnt much I can add to the stellar reviews already given. I have stayed in dozens of rentals and it is clear that this host really cares about their guests having a wonderful stay. The thoughtfulness of the amenities was stunning. Next time I know I can leave half my suitcase behind! We most enjoyed using the provided binoculars to watch the ferries and boats go by and as avid board game players, found a new game we loved. We were here during a heat advisory and it was so comfortable inside and the balconies were shaded all day so with the breeze, the "feels like 104," was actually comfortable. Great host. Great communication. I wouldnt change a thing!

Perfect Family Stay
Our family of 5 had a wonderful week staying in this condo!! Clean, very comfortable, amazing views/pools. The condo was well stocked with everything we needed for our adventures- beach chairs, beach towels, sand toys, cooler, etc., as well as for cooking/enjoying the views from the balconies. Sara was wonderful to communicate with and made check in/out very easy. We hope to be back!!

Just lovely!
What an incredible stay! Rob and Sara were spectacular hosts. The condo is clean and well-kept, and the greatest part is that it is right on the water. Listening to the waves was incredibly relaxing. There was a slight issue with one of the toilets, and Rob got the issue squared away quickly, and kept us informed through every step of the process. I would highly recommend staying at this property and would stay here every time I come to Saint Thomas. Happy Traveling!

Lovely condo with a lovely view
We really enjoyed our stay at Sea Cliff Villas. The listing was perfectly accurate, we had great communication from the host, and a very easy check-in. The space was very clean and very comfortable. There was plenty of space for four adults. The kitchen had plenty of pots and pans and dishes. There were many helpful items such as beach chairs and towels, as well as books and games. The property has many great amenities! We were able to walk to the beach. There were pools and a tennis/pickle ball court on the property. The view from the unit was beautiful! The balconies provided a lovely space for watching sunrise, sunset, and wildlife. Everything was perfect, and ready for our stay. We would love to visit again!

Great Property with an Incredible View
The property was very clean and provided everything necessary for a comfortable and relaxing stay at a great location with a great view. The property has access to an incredible pool overlooking the water and perfect location for beautiful sunsets over the sea. The pool was very private with few people taking advantage of the pool. The host was very responsive to questions with excellent recommendations to our questions regarding St Thomas.

Beautiful & Tastefully Decorated
This property is beautiful. CLEAN - which is always my biggest concern. The owners have thought of everything! Beach chairs, beach towels, cooler, beach bags, bottle openers; all in great shape not overly used worn out items! We were super impressed. Check in was smooth. Sara spells everything out perfectly. She is an amazing host - kept us updated on the Tropical storm that was headed our way. The pools (we only visited 2) are beautiful- either overlooking the ocean or surrounded by a botanical garden. Every morning we enjoyed our breakfast on the balconies and I often found my older children out there soaking in the beauty. The guide book provides you with every helpful hint you may need to get your vacation started. Our only con - which I hate to even include as it should not deter you from staying, as everyone is different with different sleeping preferences - the bed feels comfortable at first but is actually really hard and the pillows were not working for us (one extra thick and one not thick enough - so couldnt use alone but also couldnt use them together lol) we woke up sore almost every morning. Make sure to stop at Creamy Crepes - amazing! Iggies Oasis was awesome. Good, reasonably priced food with a great drink selection - with a beautiful view. The location of the property was great too, a bit closer to Red Hook & the ferries but also centrally located. If you are debating between properties - this is a bang for your buck!

Sea Cliff Condo
The property and condo was beautiful. I did have to clean the stove top and dirty dish in oven. Otherwise, the property was clean. We took our 80 year old mother, so all the stairs were difficult for her to get to the pools and restaurants. The view was amazing from the condo and location was perfect for Coki beach and Charlotte Amalie

Absolutely fabulous!
The interior of the unit is gorgeous and we especially enjoyed the sunset from the beautiful balcony. The location is between Red Hook and Charlotte Amalie ,so it's an easy drive to either location for dinner as well as the ferry to St. John. We enjoyed exploring the St. Thomas and St. John beaches and because the unit had beach chairs and a cooler, it was so much easier. However, if you just needed to chill onsite, the Bolongo Bay resort is right next door and has a small beach as well as Iggy's Bar and Grill.

Exceptional Stay
Absolutely beautiful villa and scenery. Villa was clean, no bugs, beds were comfortable, bathrooms had nice showers with plenty of hot water and decent water pressure. The two balconies were nice to have. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pan, utensils, mugs, glasses everything you need. Air conditioning worked great. Felt safe with the gated entry. Right next door to Bolongo Bay resort which has a good restaurant (Iggy’s) and St Thomas Dive Center for diving which I highly recommend. I do not recommend Mims restaurant slow service and food was blah. Red Hook has good restaurants, the Italian place Pesce and the Thai restaurant Saki House was excellent. If we ever come back to St Thomas for a vacation we will definitely stay here again. We seriously do not have one complaint about this VRBO. The owner is great too. When I had a question she was on it.

Beautiful, bright and breezy!
BOOK THIS VILLA! Sara was phenomenal about communication long before our stay, then during and even after. She entertained my many questions and was incredibly accommodating. I could’ve probably packed 20% less because the owners thought about everything to make it fully stocked. This villa was spot on as advertised but you can’t taste paradise through the screen….it’s even more spectacular in person. I could write a novel about all of the wonderful amenities and specifics, but there probably isn’t enough room in this review box! You will not want to leave this most picture perfect getaway…you will NOT regret it!

Better than the pictures
This place was wonderful. The 2 balconies were perfect for sipping coffee and watching the sunrise or for drinking cocktails and listening to the waves. The views were amazing. The place has been recently updated and done well. The kitchen was fully stocked and the bedrooms were large. The beds were a little softer than I prefer, but were comfortable. Sara was also very responsive with any request. Would definitely recommend this condo to anyone.

We loved everything about this property and the manager, Sara. The condo was spacious and well-equipped. The views from the balconies was spectacular -- we fell asleep and woke up every day to the waves crashing on the shore. Vacation doesn't get better than that. The condo kitchen and flooring throughout was recently updated. The kitchen had everything needed, including some coffee to get us started on morning 1. I spent every morning sitting on the balcony with a coffee, watching the boats sail by, the waves crash into the rocks, and the iguanas sun themselves. It was idyllic! The condo had plenty of space for us (me, my husband and our 17- and 15-year old daughters) to hang out together, plus plenty of room for us to have our own space -- you know, for when mom is being *totally annoying*. LOL. There are two restaurants in walking distance. We only made it to one of them (Iggie's) and the food was delicious. Though there are three pools on the property, we only went to the Sunset Pool -- we fell in love the first time we saw it and spent as much of our free time there as possible. The condo complex is conveniently located in between Charlotte Amaliie (shopping, skyride, restaurants) and Red Hook (water sports, Coral World, Sapphire Beach). I'd recommend renting a car so you don't have to wait for taxis, though we did regularly see taxis coming in and out of the complex. A tip (not related to the property): if you can get an SUV or Jeep, do that. The roads throughout St. Thomas were not in great shape, and have lots of speed bumps -- we regularly scraped the bottom of our sedan on the roads and speed bumps. But we were also clearly not the first people to have done that with the car... Sara offered a ton of tips before our trip, and her welcome packet in the condo was fantastic. If we ever go back to St. Thomas, picking a place to stay is easy -- we'd absolutely stay at Sara's place again!

About the host

Hosted by Sara Meriweather

Host profile image
We are from Columbus, Ohio, and have been vacationing in the beautiful Virgin Islands since 2005. Our family enjoys spending time outdoors, boating, and our favorite place to be is at the beach!

Why they chose this property

Our family purchased our piece of paradise at Sea Cliff Villa in the fall of 2015. After years of traveling to the Virgin Islands and other Caribbean Islands, we made the decision to purchase in our family's favorite vacation spot. We fell in love with Sea Cliff Villa because of the spectacular view and proximity to the water, on-site amenities, and location on the island with easy access to the airport and the ferries at Red Hook. We love the spacious layout, beachy decor and oceanfront balconies, and we hope you will too!

What makes this property unique

The view from Sea Cliff Villa is the best view in the Caribbean! You can watch the sun rise and set from Sea Cliff Villa, and the villa is close enough to the water to hear the waves crash all day long! It's a truly breathtaking place to spend your vacation, and with all of the amenities on-site you won't have to leave to experience the best of the Caribbean!
