Look no further this is the condo you want to rent! It is, without question, the closest condo you can get to the water anywhere on St thomas!! The condo is all marble tile with first class linens on a super comfortable king size bed. Theres pocket type doors that can be closed to seperate the bedroom from the living room. It was great to keep the sun out in the early morning. The balcony offers an incredible view of St John. Man, I loved sitting on that balcony with an ice cold beer watching the sun dance off the crystal clear water 25 feet away! WOW! The pictures are very accurate- everything is exactly as iit appears in the photos. The snorkeling directly in front of this condo was as good as anywhere else we've snorkeled. Tons of fish just a few feet off shore. This condo is also located next to the marina. It was great to watch the boats come in and out of the marina and imagine what it would be like on one of the yachts that were bigger than my home. Another plus of being by the marina is that is secluded and out of sight of where the cruise people get dropped off. We never saw the cruise ship people unless we walked towards the dive shop. My wife and I estimated that we had the beach in front of the condo totally to ourselves 95% of the time. Perfectl! If you want more action- beach volleyball, yoga,food and drinks served to you on your chair ect you simply walk 150 yards towards the dive shop. But in all honesty its not very crowded even when cruise ships are there. There is a little bar/restaurant on the other side of the marina- great pizza and good burgers. The jalepeno poppers may be the best in the worlld. There is also nightly entertainment there -usually an acoustic guitarist. The town of red hook is less than 1/4 mile away. Contrary to other reviews it is VERY walkable. The first 100 yards or so is rough but then there are pathways that act as side walks. Many people have said that renting a car is a must while on St Thomas we never felt the need for one due to the proximity to Red hook. $4 cab ride is much cheaper than renting a car. In all honesty, I wouldnt have been comfortable driving on the left. Too confusing for me. I was there to relax - not stress about driving. We had absolutely no issues with the condo. Everything was perfect. Cant wait to go back in November!

Owner's Response: Thanks for the great review, we really appreciate it when our guest love our place as much as we do. Even though Red Hook is within walking distance it's not advisable to walk down there in the evening hours. It's best to take a taxi.
