Photos and Description of the Southside vacation condo rental
Condo, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths, (Sleeps 2-6)

Watch stingrays jump out of the water or iguanas sunning on the rocks below the private balcony spanning the water-side of the condo and accessible from the living/dining room and master bedroom. The sunrise is magnificent from the balcony and a great place for a slow and relaxing breakfast.

The swaying palm trees, the lush local flora and sail boats floating in the bay help you to take that deep breath and 'relax'. The condo is part of the Watergate Villas East condo association and the two completely separate bedroom/bath combinations is perfect for two couples or a family to share.

Bolongo Bay has a wonderful blend of tranquility and action with a relaxed ambience perfect for vacations, holidays and weddings. Three beachfront restaurants are a short walk from the condo, including the famous Iggie's. The Bolongo Bay Beach Resort is just a short walk down the beach and has all the water activities and toys for rent that you could possibly want -- sailing, jet skiing, kayaking, parasailing, windsurfing, scuba diving, etc.

Or just enjoy the shared pools of the three sister condo associations available to our guests--Watergate Villas' is beside the Caribbean Sea and is a short walk from the condo, Sea Cliff Villas' overlooks the Caribbean Sea to the east for a wonderful view of the sunset and the cruise ships leaving Charlotte Amalie, and Regatta Point's is at the very top of the hill for lots of sunshine and tropical views.

The condo is furnished with wicker and rattan furniture and features a fully-equipped kitchen and all the amenities you may need for your vacation. Fully air-conditioned if you wish, or feel like a true resident of the Tropics by letting the Caribbean sea breeze from the soft tradewinds blowing direct from Portugal caress you each day and lull you to sleep each night.

With the added airline costs for bags, pack less and use our in-condo washer and dryer. If you want suggestions, we have a condo guestbook providing instructions for all condo amenities as well as favorite restaurants, beaches, snorkeling, scenic, picture-perfect views of Paradise, etc.

We love our Condo and sharing it with our family and friends. We hope you enjoy our Caribbean Paradise as much as we do.

About Nikki Graham

We live in South Point, OH, which is the southern-most point of Ohio on the Ohio River across from West Virginia and Kentucky. In our spare time, we have designed and built six homes. After we bought our condo, Ed served on the condo association board because we wanted the opportunity to help the association improve the property and ensure the quality of our new vacation home. The condo association property is very tropical and beautiful and the infrastructure is outstanding and well-maintained. Because we want to make sure your vacation is the best ever, we are available by e-mail or cell phone anytime to answer any question.

Nikki Graham purchased this condo in 2003
Why Nikki Graham chose Southside

In 1998, while on a cruise, we discovered and fell in love with snorkeling and Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas. The beautiful colors of the waters, the white buildings and red roofs and of course, the beautiful fish fulfilled the dream of Paradise. We enjoyed several more cruises through the years, but wanted to spend longer on the island. So in 2002, we decided to spend a week on St. Thomas. That is when we found Bolongo Bay with not only condos right on the water, but restaurants, pools and a beach within walking distance. We found our condo in Paradise in 2003 and now we can just walk down to snorkel our bay.

What makes this condo unique

From our balcony, we can watch the sunrise, weddings on the beach, sailboats, catamarans, jet skis and sunfish plying the beautiful blue waters, cruise ships leaving at night like a small city with all the lights on, falling stars, stingrays jumping out of the water, flying fish skimming the bay, pelicans soaring past and diving into the water, hummingbirds & sugarbirds & banana quits gorging on nectar, palm trees swaying in the breeze and because of that breeze we are never bothered by insects. Bolongo Bay is situated half-way between Charlotte Amalie and Red Hook so we have a multitude of choices for shopping and restaurants.

we stayed at Ed and Nikki's condo from sunday to sunday. They had the condo stocked with everything we would need. we had plenty of toilet paper in each bathroom for the week. the condo was well equipped in the kitchen and throughout. we especially liked we didnt have to pack beach towels. they have plenty! i didnt count but in know there were over 14 beach towels. the hall closet has a cooler we took to the beach, beach chairs, beach matts, noodles, and snorkle equipment. this was soo handy! all of the furniture is new and in great condition. no mismatched odds n ends older furniture. the king bed was very comfortable and the kids said the other bed was too. the couch had a pullout and while a pullout as comfortable as any. the condo was a bit farther from the pool than we thought however we enjoyed the pools up the stairs on top of the hill better and the condo was in the building closest to the steps. air worked great. no complaints whatsoever~ we had 2 adults and 4 children in our party ages 18,15, 7 and 6.

My girlfriends and I (5 of us) stayed here for a week to celebrate our 50th birthdays. We had a fantastic time. The location is perfect. Nikki was extremely helpful, she is just a wealth of information about the island. The condo has everything you could ask for, and the view is stunning. Fell asleep every night listening to the sound of the ocean. It was simple ideal. The location at Bolongo Bay is superb, 3 restaurants (on the beach), 1 of which is Iggies (bar and rest) (live entertainment nightly & fab. drinks). The dive shop at Bolongo Bay (ST. Thomas Dive Shop) which also takes you snorkeling is marvelous . Charlotte Amalie and Red Hook are both just minutes away, as are many beautiful beaches. You just could not ask for a better location. I will be recommending their place to friends and family. We just loved it so much. Thanks again, hope to be back soon. Miss it already.

Great place for families! The condo was clean and had all the amenities needed to snorkel, tan on the beach, make a nice meal, and just relax (remember to bring a router for WI-FI internet access). The view is great and you'll see the sunrise. The condo does sit and overlook a rocky potion of the beach, so don't expect to walk out of the patio door and have beach. But I have to say, for the 2 minute walk to the "entrance" of the beach was just fine with us and the kids. We had everything at Bolongo Bay Resort at our disposal. There are 3 restaurant/bars (can't beat the Happy Hours). Everybody loved the sailing, jet skis, kayaks, snorkeling; my daughter found one of the bottles of rum they drop in the bay on Thursdays! We would definitely go back both to the condo and Balongo Bay. Thanks Ed and Nikki

Paradise Found at Bolongo Bay, St Thomas, USVI

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Dec 29, 2012
  • Stayed: Dec 2012
My family and I were very pleased with "Paradise Found" condo at Bolongo Bay. Most important to me is being able to see and hear the ocean 24/7 while on vacation and my wish was fulfilled. This lovely little condo is only yards from the ocean and a two minute walk to the beach, pool, restaurants and live musical nightlife. If you want to play frisbee or otherwise play in the water there are better beaches on Saint Thomas, since rocks, coral, urchins and sea grasses are not conducive to those activities, but it's excellent for swimming and snorkeling and the sandy beach is very nice. We swam with giant sea turtles and abundant colorful fish. Jet-skis and sailboat rentals, sea cruises and several good restaurants are all available right out your door. The condo is very clean and cozy and has an excellent view and is only a half flight of stairs up from where you park your car. The coded door lock requires no keys and so is convenient for the whole family to come and go and they please. The resort also appeared quite uninhabited compared to other beach resorts nearby... of course those had pure sandy beaches and sandy ocean bottom more safe and fun for children, but I prefer Bolongo Bay for these reasons: not crowded, excellent facilities, great snorkeling and sea life and abundant activities for adults and upper teen aged children. Other great beaches are just minutes away by car and we traveled to most of them and enjoyed them all. The Ferry to St John in Redhook is only about ten minutes away by car.

Again we enjoyed staying at the Watergate East condos at Bolongo Bay. The apartment was fine, with every thing we could have wished for. Location is good for getting to both downtown and Red Hook.
We will keep coming back once or twice a year.
