Nestled along the southern coast of Saint Thomas, the 2nd largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Estate Frenchman's Bay serves up easy access to the Morningstar and Bolongo Beaches, stunning views of the cruise ships docked at Charlotte Amalie Harbor and easy access to the amenities in the island's East End.

Riding high in Estate Frenchman's Bay

To soak up the best of the island's legendary views, there are few better places to head than the gondola at Paradise Point. Located just minutes from most Estate Frenchman's Bay vacation rentals, this popular sky ride whisks visitors to a 700-foot peak overlooking the harbor at Charlotte Amalie. At the summit, you'll find an entertainment center, souvenir shopping and a nature trail, not to mention glimpses of St. Croix and Culebra. On lower ground, a memorable trip comes courtesy of the St. Peter Great House and Botanical Gardens where an expertly restored colonial plantation house takes pride of place among an array of Caribbean plants.

Exploring Estate Frenchman's Bay

A guided tour is one of the quickest ways to get to know the island paradise of Saint Thomas. Tour options vary so you can choose the option that appeals to you – whether it's kayaking in the waters of the Mangrove Lagoon Wildlife Sanctuary and Marine Reserve, swimming among the brightly colored tropical fish found at the coral ledges near Coki Point Beach or visiting historic Hassel Island. Alternatively, if you savor the freedom of being able to explore at your own pace, hiring a car will allow you to linger in any new-found favorite spot for just as long as you like.

Glorious winters in Estate Frenchman's Bay

The best deals on Estate Frenchman's Bay vacation rentals are typically found during the low season months of July through October. However, a stay on the island during these affordable months – aka the hurricane season – means you'll likely have to deal with a fair number of rainy days. Far better to splurge on a sun-drenched stay during the winter months of December through March when you'll find the temperature hot but comfortable and the night's blissfully cool. A compromise between rental rates and idyllic weather can often be found in the shoulder season of April through May.
