How can you beat this?!!

We were lucky enough to have 2 weeks to escape from our Upstate NY winter to Maison Le Blanc above Frenchman's Bay for a romantic Valentine's Day get-away to the islands.
The property, accomodations and pool are beautiful, just as described on the site, with expansive ocean views (WOW!) and grounds that are well kept and landscaped, with a really nice selection of island flora. Ask to see their Hermit Crab Condo in the back yard--it's lots of fun. As with most of St. Thomas, the road leading to the property is narrow, steep and winding, and driving is on the left side. We recommend renting a vehicle to get around the island, but try to get a small, 4 wheel drive car or SUV, if possible--we ended up with a midsize car, which was difficult to navigate in some areas.
The owners,James and Luisa, live in one of the units on the property. They were awesome--very helpful in providing recommendations, directions, and good information and feedback about which beaches were most worth seeking-out for our mood and style, the best places to dine out(or get delicious local food for take out--ask about the Food Center!), shop, take a tour, or visit. They were not at all intrusive, and we genuinely enjoyed the times that we spent with them.
In 2 weeks, we spent time on 10 different beaches, including the ones that we visited during a boat tour to Virgin Gorda BVI and a day trip, via car ferry, to St. John's USVI. We had a memorable Valentine's get-away, and we would gladly return to Maison Le Blanc again. We will recommend it to our friends as a quality, relaxing, and value-priced alternative for anyone seeking a week or two in St. Thomas.

Owner's Response: Another great couple. As stated we hve lived here since 1995, We can give you the ins and outs, as for what to do. A rental car is best for the Island and the smaller the better. Each guest has a private parking place on site. Working in the hotel industry for the last 11 years, we can help you book any and all activities you desire. We sare on site managers, here if you need us and absent when you want privacy.
