Places to stay in Saint Thomas

While St. John is our favorite place in the world, I can’t say enough about our experience at Eureka Villa — it was absolutely perfect for our two-couple group. Great location not far from Cruz Bay (and as a bonus: super close to Windmill Bar!). Was so appreciative of Elise being proactive upon our arrival to the island and personally escorting our Jeep to the location, showing us around the villa, and was more than willing to share her knowledge of the island. The panoramic view was indescribable. Loved having the cross-breeze from large glass/screen doors in the central space, while still having access to bedroom air conditioning for comfortable sleeping at night. Clean, organized, modern updates, STOCKED with home and beach supplies which saved lots of packing space for us — beach chairs, coolers, towels, snorkel gear, even had spare reef-safe sunscreen. Elise & John were immediately responsive to any questions and fantastic to work with. Already counting the days until our return.

We got very lucky; finding Rosie and the condo in an awesome community. A great view from the condo and a short walk to the beach, pool, tennis courts, and 2 great restaurants. Good snorkeling in your back yard. They also have rentals for kayaks and other water sports. The condo was very clean and spacious with 3 bedrooms with their own bathrooms. Rosie's recommendations on Captain Charters, Driver, and where to hang out were first class. A must do is to rent a boat w Captain to go snorkeling and view the islands from the water. We were there the weekend of the College Football and NFL playoffs. We figured out how to stream the games on our laptop. We wanted to watch on the TV; but needed a HDMI cable to do so. Rosie had one delivered within 45 minutes of the request. Awesome! 5 - 10 minutes from Redhook stores and restaurants and other marinas. You can walk to the Ritz across the street and get a day pass for a change of scenery. A great spot and great host! Thank you!

We loved our stay at the Yellow Flamingo. we traveled with 2 adults and 2 kids the size of adults(14 and 12). Honestly, I was very pleased with the condo. Based on the pictures and previous experiences with smaller rentals, I was afraid we were going to be cramped or the kids bed was going to be too small. I was pleasantly surprised they had enough room to share the sofa and we had enough room to maneuver around each other. We were very pleased with the location too it was a quick scenic drive to any of the main beaches. The view from the pool was great! The pool had a ledge to sit and was about 6 ft deep in the middle. The kids were slightly disappointed they couldn't touch bottom. This was the only complaint from them and it didn't matter because they got their water fix at the beach. The kitchen setup was great because we were able to fix quick dinners easily. Our host could not have done anything more to make our stay better.

Beautiful, well equipped house. Ideal for a large family.

This peaceful, private, and very clean studio apartment has its own entrance facing the ocean underneath the main house. Morning coffee lounging on the big, cushioned chairs and evening dinners at the cafe table on the covered patio taking in the panoramic views of the beaches below, mountains rising up out of the sea, and St. John across the water was incredibly relaxing. See Aaron's Guidebook for recommendations for a supermarket in Red Hook for bottled water and groceries, and, a local rental car company which we used (pick up/drop off at the airport was super convenient; having a rental car over paying exorbitant taxi rates is the way to go). Would like to mention the full kitchen is awesome; it is well-stocked with cookware, utensils, and dishes. We found the bed comfortable, slept great. There is a mini split and ceiling fans for climate control. The walk-in shower is really nice. Enjoyed being in touch with Aaron and Amanda. This is an Airbnb we highly recommend.

We stayed this past week at You & Me on the Sea. She was so accommodating to us and always responsive to questions, concerns and spots to check out downtown! The area itself is beautiful, secluded, and close to downtown Red Hook. The space was clean, the balcony is great for morning sunrises, or even late night sunsets! I would recommend any of Shannon’s units just because she was that great of a host and I’m sure everyone who books with her receives a similar experience. Would HIGHLY recommend.

We had an amazing stay at Nancy’s property, which was perfect for our family. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to both the beach and the pool, making it incredibly convenient for everyone. The on-site restaurant was a great perk, so we didn't have to worry about cooking every day. The unit itself was spacious and well-maintained, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Having a full kitchen allowed us to prepare meals easily, and the three full bathrooms made getting ready a breeze, even with a large group. One of the best surprises was that beach towels were provided, so we didn’t have to pack our own. Overall, this rental exceeded our expectations and made for a truly memorable family vacation. We can't wait to come back!

Bert's place was pristine and very comfortable, and exactly as pictured. Point Pleasant resort is quiet and lovely. The two on-site restaurants are great and the pools were good. The unit is very close to the Hilltop pool which we had mostly to ourselves. You are also in close driving range to 3 beaches--Lindquist, Magen's Bay and Sapphire, each of which has its own special qualities. Go to Pangea for dinner just a mile or two down the road. It's an easy walk to Margaritaville next door. Red Hook is nearby for groceries and more restaurants. Bert's place is not great if you have mobility challenges. We're in our 50s and in good shape but we found the steepness of the property daunting at times. And while the views are lovely, you are also close to a truck depot and a main road. It can get pretty noisy during the day. None of these were dealbreakers for us, just surprises. We had insight into the daily life of this wonderful island and how they're rebuilding from past hurricanes.
