“FABULOUS!!”

Reviewed March 28, 2013 NEW
My husband and I have been vacationing in St. Thomas for 25 years and have stayed in many places and villas there and on St. John. I have to say, Villa Fantasia was by far the best place we have ever stayed. The views alone are worth every penny of your rental! ?The bedrooms also have fantastic views and every night I could lie there and see the lights of St. John and the surrounding islands. ?The pool deck is spacious and again the views are to die for. There are decks all around the villa so you can sit in the sun, the shade, out of the wind - there's a deck for everyone. ?The hot tub faces west so you can relax and watch the sun set. The grill is on the same deck and is always available to use because Mike who is the caretaker at the villa makes sure everything is in working order. He & Hilary were great! ?The kitchen is huge and worked well with 3 of us cooking at one time! ?I can't say enough about this wonderful villa. I've already booked it for next year and can't wait to go back.

We just returned from St. Thomas where six of us stayed at Villa Fantasia. We all loved the villa and agreed that it's one place we would rent again. The views are out of this world. You're at the top of a hill overlooking St. Thomas, out to St. John and beyond to other islands - look out any window and the scenery is beautiful. I spent the first two hours circling the house taking pictures. The villa is perfect for couples. All bedrooms are about the same size and none have a better view than another and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is big enough for multiple people to cook at the same time and it's stocked with enough serving dishes, pots & pans, etc. Mike, the caretaker, was really friendly and helpful. The location was awesome - close to Red Hook for dining, bars, the ferry to St. John and the road up to the villa is not busy, so it was a good and safe spot to go running. We've already recommended Villa Fantasia to our friends!

Amazing place.. house is not lockable, incredible view, Would go back even though house is not secure. We had a very nice time there and will go back again. House needs some updating, new sliding doors would make it secure. If you want to be a hero and show how beautitful the Caribbean is you can not find a better view.

Tom,

Thank you so very much for sharing Villa Fantasia with us. We had a wonderful time. Mike and Hillary were absolutely fantastic!!! They went out of their ways to accommodate us all. We were very impressed with their hospitality.

We hope to make it back to your beautiful home again soon. Thank you!

Hi Tom,
We had an awesome time at your villa. The views were amazing!

We would love to go back again!

Hello Tom and Happy New Year!
We had another great vacation at Villa Fantasia over the holidays and would love to be there again this coming Christmas. Our dates would be more or less the same depending on the flight schedules. We do hope that this works for you. We seem to be becoming regulars (Renting Villa Fantasia for the past three Christmas Holidays.)The house looked great. Mike and Hillary had done a lot of work. Look forward to hearing from you. All the best for the New Year, Deborah Le

We travel with same friends every winter, this year we spent a week at Villa Fantasia on St. Thomas USVI. We wished it could have been longer. Service was good, Mike the caretaker met us in town and led us up to the Villa. The house is amazing, views from every single spot! Rooms large and airy, though we didn't spend much time in the house as the weather was great and the pool area and sitting areas outside were very comfortable. The house is atop Cabrita point and extremely private. There are panoramic views of St. John's and the British Virgin Islands and the harbor in Red Hook down below. The bedrooms are comfortable however it is strange how no doors seemed to be able to be locked. It was a little disconcerting the few times we left the villa to take excursions to neighboring islands not to be able to feel we left our belongings secured. There were safes in bedrooms, but no keys, which was strange.
The town of Red Hook had some nice restaurants, however most evenings we BBQ'd at villa as we just wanted to relax and were not anxious to leave the views and drive the winding roads in the dark, especially if we had a couple of cocktails. The other fact that made driving a little difficult was that they drive on the opposite side of the road than we do in the States.
The kitchen and bathrooms could use some updating, the appliances seemed old and tired, we had a problem where the dishwasher broke - which Mike took care of as soon as we let him know, but then the stove went down. For $4500 week that shouldn't happen.
But all in all we had a wonderful time and would recommend this villa.

With all those great reviews already posted for this Amazing Villa, I really feel I have little to add. So I am going to start off with the one and only negative; since this Villa has windows everywhere, it has some insects. not a lot of them, just enough to scare my insect-phobia wife once in a while. with that said, she seems to adapt after 2 days. so let's talk about the good things:

- The new Jet Spa is amazing. has an amazing view of the harbor and city lights and sits 4 people comfortably.
- ALL 3 bedrooms have amazing ocean view. all are very spacious with king size beds, TV, and sofas
- The living room upstairs has a million dollar view. I am a real estate broker in Manhattan and I have seen multi-multi million dollar apts with park and city views. but Nothing, absolutely nothing come even close to Villa Fantasia. I was on a ferry to st. john and a couple of tourist were talking about the amazing view this villa must have just by looking at it from the boat. i didn't have the heart to tell them that i am staying there, but it did make me feel like a million dollars.
- The pool is great, but we only used it once. we were out to the ocean early and came back late.
-my parents enjoyed the sun rise on the deck.
-the industrial size BBQ grill is amazing! and Mike changed even gave me a full bottle of gas!
- the road is really not that bad! we had 6 people and a van, it was rocking a little. don't let the other review scare you. if you can rent a jeep, go for it; if not, a 1988 corola will still do the job fine.
-the caretaker Mike is amazing. he changed the spa water for us and sprayed bugs when we were out during the day. he helped us connect to the internet and gave us direction on where to get catches of the day.
so is it worth it? yes. absolutely. I strongly recommend this to any honeymooners and family travelers. I will take my kids back again to Villa Fantasia!
