Busy Physician

I came down to Villa Del Mar New Year's Day with my 3 school-aged kids, my Husband, my elderly Mother and my Nanny. The home was idyllic; the setting was breathtaking and the atmosphere was peaceful. The decor and relaxed feel of the home was right out of Architectural Digest, Beach version. I am a 5 star only traveller, and Villa Del Mar certainly rated as any 5 star hotel with respect to finer amenities, decor and finishes, lay out of the home, proximity of the attached apartment, pool, hot tub, and concierge service of the property manager, Mark. I am a busy, demanding physician in the operating room and look for a vacation location to be effortless with finer details taken care of so I can relax and spend time with my family. The ocean views were incredible, and the Villa is impeccably maintained and extremely clean. Mark, the property manager met us at the airport, and drove us to the Villa. He was available 24/7 to arrange any and all activities for our trip: private chef, private sail boat for a day, dinner reservations, and day trips to the beach and shopping. The attached apartment below the main house was a perfect location for our nanny to stay where we could have private family time, and yet have her immediately available when needed. The Villa was perfect for my elderly Mother who stayed on the first floor bedroom which was on the same level as the kitchen, Great room, pool, and parking . We spent lots of time at the house, actually, much to my surprise. There is almost no need to leave the Villa. We spent a few days never leaving the Villa, relaxing at the pool and hot tub with an outdoor sound system, shooting basketball by the garden off the Villa, or making big family meals with the outdoor BBQ and great indoor kitchen. On other days, it took 6 minutes for us to arrive in Magen's Bay from the Villa, and 15 minutes to downtown duty free shopping. I highly recommend this luxurious Villa to anyone travelling to St. Thomas, and we will certainly return!
