Photos and Description of the Northside vacation condo rental
Condominium, 2 bedrooms,2 baths (sleeps 4)

Villa Eau Claire is a unique property, behind a gate and fence, and sitting just over Magen Bay, with its own pocket beach, private deck with shower, and access to Magen's Bay, one of the most beautiful bodies of water anywhere.

At 1400 st ft, this condo is the larger of the two and is the main portion of the owner's residence, with an extra bathroom and a much larger great room and kitchen, with vaulted ceilings in all rooms. The rents are slightly higher than for the other unit.

The house includes a covered deck for every bedroom, and the great room, and the views from the decks extend from Magen's Bay Beach to the South, the entire Bay and the Mountain across the Bay, down to the Atlantic Ocean to the northwest. The sunsets are wonderful, and the house faces southwest. The entire property was renovated completely, with all new kitchens

Pocket Beach and Deck: The condos at Villa Eau Claire have their own large private deck, and a pocket beach. The Villa is the first occupied villa north of the main Magen's Bay Beach, which is less than a half mile of walking by water. Magen Bay is an exceptionally tranquil body of water, with a sandy bottom and easy walking in the water. The deck is lit for night time use, and it has a shower to use to rinse off after leaving the water. During peak season, huge yachts ranging up to several hundred feet moor about a quarter mile off shore, and add to the beauty of the Bay at night. There is no other comparable condos on St. Thomas or St. John, creating a unique situation. The breeze normally blows out from the beach, cooling the Villa more than any of the houses on the Bay in Peterborg.

Little Magen's Bay Beach: Little Magen's Bay Beach is one hundred yards to the left of the Villa, and it is the largest pocket beach on Magen Bay, about 100 yards long from end to end, and 20 yards wide at low tide.. This is the ONLY alternative lifestyle beach on St. Thomas, and some residents and visitors frequent the beach for nude and topless bathing. This may be a problem for some families, although our grandchildren are frequent visitors to the Island and are mostly amused by it. Many of our guests, however, take a towel, sunscreen and a cooler, and use that beach which is open to the public. Our own pocket beach is separated from Little Magan Beach by a large outcropping of boulders that were place there many years ago, and our deck is completely private to a view of that beach.

Magen Bay and the Main Beach: The main Beach on Magen Bay is a mile long from end to end, and about 15 to 20 yards wide at high tide. It is the gem of the entire Virgin Islands, donated many years ago into a private foundation that maintains the beach is a pristine condition, unmatched anywhere. When there are many boats in the harbor, it can get crowded and we mostly ignore it on those days. The Bay is about one mile wide and three and a half miles long, surrounded on three sides by high hills (up to 1700 feet) and covered with soft sand every where. The Bay is shallow on our side, with soft sand and few rocks or coral, so it is a wonderful lo walk in both directions. The waters of the Bay are protected from large waves most of the year, and my wife swims a mile a day from our location. The prevailing easterlies blow out from the main beach, keeping the Villa cool almost the entire year. The north side of the Island is cooler all year long than the South side or the East End.

Villa Eau Claire is the first house out from the beach directly on the water on Magen Bay. The house is located on Peterborg Road, about a mile from the intersection and about a half mile walk on the sandy bottom of the Bay shore. This is the only condo on Magen Bay with its own beach. Little Magen Beach, which is right next door, is the alternative lifestyle beach on St. Thomas where nude bathing is accepted.

Golf: The Island's only 18 hole golf course, Mahogany Run, is located less than 8 minutes from the Villa. It is a short, but beautiful and challenging course, in a magnificent setting. This is where President Obama and other celebrities play when they are on Island. Some of the holes are located above the Atlantic Ocean, which has taken tens of thousands of balls over the years.

Notes: While the Villa, Eau Claire, has its own pocket beach, it is also about 100 yards through the water to Little Magen's Beach, an underused, alternative lifestyle beach where nude and topless bathing are permitted. The pocket beach in front of Eau Claire is separated from Little Magen's by a rcok promentory, which makes it protected for children, and the magnificent Magen's Bay Public Beach is a half mile walk through the water or a mile by car. Magen's Bay Beach is generally regards as the best beach in the Virgin Islands, taken care of by a public authority that maintains it beautifully, with the best hamburgers and pizza on St. Thomas, and a delight for small children because of the lack of waves or currents.

Villa Eau Claire was the PERFECT place for a relaxing beach vacation. The property is beautiful and well cared for and the view was AMAZING. Julia is wonderful - very helpful and accommodating. We loved the fact that we could wade through the water to get to Magens Bay Beach... but oftentimes opted to just stay put and enjoy our own little pocket beach. Why deal with the crowds when you have your own little corner of paradise?!?! We had hoped to rent a boat with a captain on our last day, but canceled due to rough open water.... it's not a bad Plan B when you have a cooler full of snacks and beverages to enjoy at Villa Eau Claire. Life was good! :) We definitely plan on going back with our friends in the future. Thanks for being such great hosts - you made for a great vacation!

Pure Heaven

5 of 5
Submitted: January 20, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
This villa is fabulous. Julia greeted and assisted us in getting car at the airport We followed her to the villa where she showed us around and answered all our questions.

This villa and the location on Magen's Bay is pure heaven. My husband and I and our two adult children (18 & 21) all felt right at home. You will want for nothing here. The art is exquisite and we especially enjoyed being greeted by the woman on the rope and the gymnast. All of the furnishings were upscale and very comfortable. The AC worked great for sleeping and was programmable and very quiet. The private beach with deck overlooking the water was a real treat. The beach is completely sand bottom and very enjoyable to swim. They provide a full size cooler, boogie boards, floating chairs and beach chairs which we all used. The kitchen is well stocked and we even had coffee in the fridge.

Our favorite thing to do everyday and night however was sitting on the deck together looking at the views and yachts. We enjoyed our coffee there and finished our evenings looking at the lights on the bay. Pure heaven. Did I mention Julia, the caretaker? She is the sweetest and takes great pride in the villa. She is available to help you at any time. She is the added treat here and you will be so glad that you got to meet her.

I hesitate to write such a raving review only because we plan to be back as often as possible. Annika was very responsive and easy to work with and they have a lovely home on St. Thomas.

Fondly,
Pamela H.

**The** place to stay on St Thomas - Beautiful, Luxurious, Safe

5 of 5
Submitted: July 13, 2012 Stayed: August 2011
My husband and I stayed here in Summer of 2011 with our teenage son. Unlike so many rentals in the area, this one is well appointed and feels pretty luxurious and secure. Tv in each bedroom, air conditioning (though you don't need it all the time) phenomenal view, huge vaulted ceilings and a back up generator made this the perfect location for us. The generator was a real vacation saver, too, since we were on the island for a hurricane!! But the storm did NOT ruin our vacation, quite the opposite, we got groceries, cooked a nice meal, and watched videos all night watching the storm through the huge glass windows and sleeping to the pounding rain. It was, actually, wonderful. We extended our stay for a few days to compensate.

The pocket beach is charming, and the sand soft. We floated in the bay every evening before bed. The owners were staying in the larger house while we were there, and respected our privacy. They did have a party one evening and there was nowhere to park, but other than that, everything was perfect.

Gordon (owner) even came by before the storm to make sure the generator was working and had someone come and repair it.

Great place to stay - highly recommended.
We will definitely be back.

My family of 4 including 2 sons (10,13) rented this Eau Claire property. The apartment is even nicer than it appears in the photos. Our relaxing vacation included morning coffee on the deck watching turtles feed, home-cooked meals utilizing the well-stocked kitchen,and relaxing evenings in the very nice living area. I felt as if I were staying at a friend's home, not a rental unit. It is THAT nicely furnished. This property includes 1 of only 3 beaches on Megan's Bay and it is the only private beach. Although there are several apartments on the property, the entrances and exits ensure maximum privacy and quiet. As mentioned in the VRBO description, the unit is fully air conditioned (good when the trade winds die) and has an emergency generator. This is a much-needed amenity as the power supply is not reliable on the island. A plus to renting in this area of St. Thomas is the proximity to Red Hook (a major departure point to St. John) and plenty of east end restaurants, beaches, and amenities. We were very happy with this rental.

STEPS to the beach...literally!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 5, 2011 Stayed: March 2011
I would like to add to my previous comments that this is one of the only true "beachfront" properties on Magen's Bay. Some say "view" but that does not mean you can walk to the beach from there. We met many people that said they were jealous of us because we could walk and they had to drive and park at the beach. Another priceless part of this property is the fact that it has its OWN private beach with deck and lounge chairs. This was absolutely incredible when there are 5 cruise ships at dock for the day and the main beach is insanely crazy. Less than 50 steps and you are at your own private spot on the beach! Go back for a nap or lunch, then an afternoon or sunset swim. I can't put a price on being this close to the beach and saving driving and money paying to go to one of the top 10 beaches in the world. The PRIVATE BEACH, deck, lounge chairs and deck shower alone are worth every single penny for this place! Trust me on this one! You'll want to cancel any other excursions you have planned because just BEING at this house will make you not want to leave.
