Soulful escape

If you're looking to get away from the hustle of the city and just relax while trying to get a real feel of a different area, this place is for you. It's not fancy. But it's perfect to reconnect with yourself or a few good friends. Plus, when you wake to the Caribbean Sea to your left, you don’t want to spend time in the room anyway. You basically shower (nice space, but limited hot water), get dressed (full-length mirror and sink outside the shower facilities, so multiple people can get ready at the same time), and sleep (sheets and pillows were musty, so this is where I docked the place points). The walk to the beach from the condo is nothing, but walking up the hill on the way back is a great workout. And you're close to Red Hook, where you can take a $12 ride boat ride (one-way) to St. John for a wonderful day trip. (Snorkeling at Trunk Bay is a must!) For two bucks, you can take the "safari" to the market and get food (condo has a stocked kitchen) or shop in busy downtown where all the huge cruise ships port. And if you go during Thanksgiving, you can catch competitive basketball at the Paradise Jam on the university's campus. Aside from the basketball, I preferred to chill on the near-private beach and snorkel in St. John. After a week, I felt refreshed and overwhelmed with beautiful memories with my girlfriends. My soul thanked me for it.
Owner's Response: thanks I wish I would have knowed about the sheets we would have replaced them thanks jeff
