A Lively Loftspace In an Old World Estate
My group of four had a great stay here. No issues with communication and Harold was a huge help for us getting around the island. He gave us much better rates than the taxis. The view from the porch is amazing. AC unit was powerful enough to keep the whole place cool. Bathroom is large but it is outside so there are critters around. No issue with bugs in the house but we did get bitten by mosquitoes in the bathroom. They kept a can of bug spray in there so we started just spraying it around when we needed to be in there. The only cons I’d say are that if you aren’t a reasonably fit person the stairs up and down may be too much for you. You can drive to the top though if you’re renting a car then it wouldn’t be a problem. Also, you can hear absolutely everything happening on the floor above from the talking to toilets flushing. There are earplugs provided but if you are a light sleeper just keep that in mind. Despite that we would still rebook great house and great hosts! Recommend it!

Hoos House
Great spot only minutes from Cruz Bay. There’s a single parking spot that takes a little work to fit into but it’s sufficient. Good house for our family of 4 (2 teens). GREAT views from the back deck for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Would suggest darker curtains in the bedrooms as the current ones don’t keep out any light. Bed linens could be upgraded. Host was very responsive and easy to contact.

Generator! Beautiful Virgin Island Triplex
We had a great stay! Plenty of room for our party of 8 to spread out! Suzy was very responsive to any requests or questions we had.

Top of the Hill
Barons place in st thomas was very clean and a lot of space. Kitchen had everything needed to make food. I would recommend renting a car because the place is in a very beautiful secluded area on the mountain. Well worth it

Creekside
This was such a wonderful place to stay on St. Thomas! It is secluded and private, has a beautiful and peaceful wrap-around porch, and suited all of our needs while staying on St. Thomas. The outdoor shower was just lovely, and I looked forward to it everyday being out and about exploring and hitting all the beaches. It is an excellent home base if you are looking to explore the island with a vehicle. Mark was communicative throughout, from booking to check-in and during our stay. He offered to pick us up from the airport when the wait for our rental car was excessive, to give you an idea of how helpful he is. Such a kind and genuine soul. He dug out the shop-vac so we could vacuum our rental before returning it. On our first day there, he took us to a parking spot down near the coast and then on a great jungle hike to get to an incredible secluded beach called Neltjeberg! Do not miss this for anything! You won't want to leave. Can't wait to come back for another visit. Book it now.

Texas Embassy
Great view! very spacious! We enjoyed our stay & would come back again. It can be a little difficult to locate even with instructions, but once located no additional issues getting into the house. You should definitely rent an SUV or Jeep to get around the island and to get up the driveway at the property. Host was very accommodating as we arrived earlier than expected. The local co-host (Donovan) provided some local food options & less busy beach options.

The Round House
The Round House was just as described in the listing and we found it to be clean, comfortable, filled with amenities, and it had fantastic views. The host was responsive and proactively communicated with us about the house and the surrounding area. It was a great stay, overall!

Casa Mandahl West
Property is well off the main road with adequate off-street parking and felt safe and private. Not within walking distance of any attractions, not a problem with a rental car. Spacious accommodations, clean, cheery, and modern. Bedrooms are large with lots of storage space. bathrooms were modern but there was no hot water during our stay except for one day (we received a partial refund for the inconvenience.) Free washer, dryer and ice machine. Lots of entertainment area for sitting and dining. GREAT patio with ample seating and shade. Kitchen has adequate space but could use a few minor items ( set of wine glasses, full-sized coffee cups, sharp knives.) Host was accommodating and responded quickly to our inquiries. We were satisfied with what was expected upon reading the rental description.

Eureka Villa -Stunning Views in Paradise 2BR/2.5BA
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.

Upper Grande Bay-1BR king plus sofabed
We would definitely stay here again! The apartment was great and had a beautiful view from the balcony. The pool and hot tub were a nice bonus at the end of a beach day, as was the convenience of having a washer and dryer for wet towels. Also loved that two comfy bathrobes were included. It is such an amazing location with everything walkable within a few blocks. We rented a car but would have been totally fine without one. It is actually easier to take the taxis to the beach vs parking. We loved the convenience of having a place right in Cruz Bay and took advantage of all the incredible bars, restaurants and happy hours galore! St. John is such a fun island and Stacey’s place was just perfect.

GRANDE BAY 1 BR; SPECTACULAR VIEWS
We loved this condo. Well appointed kitchen including a dishwasher and all the appliances you could ask for. Washer and dryer were very useful after a day at the beach . Everything was so close that we didn’t feel we needed a car (even tho you get a dedicated parking space). Shared taxis to the beaches are just 5 mins walk away. We appreciated use of the included beach chairs which were easy to carry on trips .

C'est Jolie - Views! Views! Views!
Really responsive hosts. Squeaky clean, with a million-dollar view. The snorkel gear and cooler in the unity came in handy and is a really nice touch. We really enjoyed the pools on the property -- they are well-maintained and not crowded. Friendly staff members were always on hand to wheel you around the property, and there were always cabs at the cab stand to take us wherever we wanted to go offsite. The lobby for the resort stocks the necessities, and there is a laundry area on the property. Coki beach is well within walking distance. It packs an earthy vibe. The beach bar on the property was an epic fail for us. Great tacos, but the vulgarities and borderline bullying from the service staff (apparently it's part of schtick there) were a huge turn-off. Went back for a visit later and found the same thing again. The Margaritaville Bar next property over came in handy.

4 bed/4 bath. Pool/Beautiful Ocean views. Cruz Bay
We had a wonderful stay at Meritage house! The layout was spacious with beautiful views - better than the photos in all regards. A perfect house for a multigenerational trip - we had grandparents, parents, and teens (6 people). Location was very convenient. We had a few minor issues that arose and Linda and Abby coordinated quickly to address them. Highly recommend!

Amazing Ocean View with a spectacular location!
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.

Unique Gem at Sapphire Beach 1 BR 2 BA
Amy’s place was clean and comfortable. The pullout couch was a full size for our friend who stayed 4 nights out of our 8 night trip. It was a little short in length and would be fine for children, but not for anyone tall. The air mattress in the closet was only a twin so she opted for the pullout. We have stayed at sapphire for the last 4 years. It was nice to have the two level condo this year and especially nice to have laundry in the unit. The assistant Staisha was very communicative and had quick response times for the few questions we had. Would definitely stay again!

Limetree Beach Resort 1 Bedroom
Loved staying at Lime Tree! We stayed at 2 places in St. Thomas. This one, and one at Sapphire Beach. Lime Tree has a more secluded beach. It's small, but beautiful. If you're more into amazing view than getting in the ocean, this is great! There are some reefs around to snorkle (rent from the shop at the resort), but other than relaxing and eating, there's not much to do immediately around. The grounds were kept very clean. I would definitely stay here again for a lazy, relaxed retreat.
Your guide to St. Thomas
Welcome to St. Thomas
Home to the capital city of the Virgin Islands, Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas is the most bustling island of the bunch. It houses a network of bays and harbors and is a natural arrival point for cruise ships, yachts, and container ships, all of which nestle in its vibrant port. Charming Charlotte Amalie — inflected with Danish and French influences from the island’s extended period as a European colony — welcomes them with all the amenities visitors look for, including inviting restaurants and trendy shops.
Sport fishing, golfing, and diving are all popular pastimes here. The waters around St. Thomas are home to a dizzying array of sea life, including seahorses, octopuses, and moray eels: many visitors come here to dive and snorkel, hoping these creatures make an appearance. You’ll also find gorgeous white-sand beaches, verdant hillsides, and intriguing historical buildings, such as the oldest synagogue in continuous use on United States soil, whose floor is covered in sand.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in St. Thomas
A key appeal of a Caribbean vacation is that you’re likely to encounter balmy weather all year long. Most days in St. Thomas are favored with sun and warmth, although it’s worth keeping an eye on the weather forecast between June and November, which is hurricane season. St. Thomas celebrates Carnival in April with street parties, dancing, parades, and music.
Top things to do in St. Thomas
Fort Christian
Construction on this imposing Gothic revival fortress made of red brick began in 1672. Erected by the Danish, the building features a three-story oval tower and is the largest fort on all the Virgin Islands. Locally harvested rainforest mahogany was used for doors and window frames, and the bricks are held together with mortar made from burnt shells and coral.
Tillett Gardens
Established more than 60 years ago, the funky artists’ community of Tillett Gardens sits on a former Danish cattle farm. Sheds and other agricultural buildings have been repurposed as brightly painted shops, galleries, and restaurants, surrounded by the tropical landscape. You can take an art class here, attend a live theater performance, or just wander the quirky enclave.
99 Steps
The hills of Charlotte Amalie are threaded with steep stone steps, which makes their navigation just a bit more manageable. The most famous are the 99 Steps, constructed from stone brought to the island as ships’ ballast. Take a picturesque hike shrouded on each side by colorful foliage and you’ll be rewarded with a view of Blackbeard’s Castle at the top. Historians look askance at claims the eponymous pirate lived here — it was built by the Danish military — but it has an impressive storybook look all the same. Once open to tours, the castle has been closed since 2017, when it was damaged by a hurricane.
