We are making things even better and adding conveniences that will make your stay more comfortable and fun. We now have DISH Network Satellite High Definition television service. Over 200 channels you can watch on the 55' High Definition LED Samsung TV! This season we replaced all the linens in the home. On your next trip you will find the bedrooms have new towels, sheets, blankets and pillows. Sheets are 400 thread count, blankets are soft and lightweight and pillows filled with non-allergenic goodness. The Flamingo Point/Water Island moniker beach towels will be the same though we check each one and replace as needed with the extras we have on hand. We've replaced the bread maker. Making fresh bread, rolls, pizza dough and other wonderful baked goods is automated, easy and convenient especially if you have someone with gluten-free needs. We've added a commercial grade, Vitamix 5200S. Bring your favorite Smoothie, frozen drink, soup, desert or sauce recipe. We've replaced all the ceiling fans in the house with ones that are extraordinarily beautiful, quiet and long blades that maintain consistent air flow throughout the rooms. We replaced the refrigerator with a Samsung 28 Cubic Foot 4 door refrigerator. Well lighted refrigerator with a drawer in the middle specifically chilled for sodas/can beverages optimum temperatures. Water and ice dispenser on the outside of the door which makes it easy and convenient to draw clean and great tasting water through our whole house UV water filtration system.

Of course we still have all the other conveniences as desribed below. Flamingo Point USVI is your home away from home!

Flamingo Point USVI is one of the largest homes available for you on Water Island. A private waterfront home perched on the edge of a 50' bluff over-looking the Caribbean and St Thomas; 'split' floor plan incl. Great Room (living, kitchen, and dining). Our home is spacious with 4 private bedrooms - 3 with direct access to a wide, covered wrap-around porch. This is one unique aspect of our home. No futons, sleeper sofas or air mattresses. Everyone has their own private retreat they can close off from the main active areas to relax, power nap or sleep the night away. The view is spectacular. Visit our webcam. Enter flamingopointusvi.viewnetcam.com and type 'Flamingo' for User Name and 'pointusvi' for the password. Click on the tab titled 'Single' and choose from the preset options on the left hand side of the screen! There is no drive by traffic & the house can not be seen from the road. The front of the house opens onto a large uncovered deck. Another unique feature of our property is the huge grassy area and private parking with large area to turn-around. Whole house UV and charcoal water filtration system supplies the entire home with Mother Nature's sparkling clean, great tasting water. The kitchen is well stocked with everything guests need to cook including professional knives, All-Clad pots & pans, soufflé, electric ice cream maker, blender, coffee grinder, etc. Ben & Jerry ice cream recipe and other cookbooks in the upper, right-most cabinet in the kitchen on the north side. We enjoy cooking so guests will find the kitchen is well stocked with everything they'll need including a 5 burner stainless steel grill. In addition to the 28 cu ft refrigerator/freezer that has a special drawer for canned beverages which ensures optimum temperature, we also have a chest freezer in the kitchen.

Our home has a 'split' plan layout with 2 bedrooms/1 bath on the south side of the home, 2 bedrooms/1 bath on the north side of the home, and the Great Room in-between. We have a 55' LED HDTV with over 200 channels available from DISH Network satellite, new Blue Ray HD Disc Player with Wifi access to your Netflix or other online applications, library of over 50 DVD movies (of course guests can bring their favorite DVDs!), WiFi internet access, and Wii with the 'Sports Package' with bowling, tennis, golf, and boxing. Extremely comfortable porch furniture for relaxing coffee-on-the-porch sunrise and boat watching and Caribbean sunset viewing.

We work very hard to maintain and improve our home to ensure that it's comfortable for us, our family, friends and guests. Our home is wheelchair accessible. For those who want to become one with nature (or are just returning to the beach and want to wash the salty sea or sand away), our home offers an outdoor shower. We also have a foot shower next to the coconut palm tree just off the front porch.

Transportation on Water Island: We do also make available if a guest choose the 'Flamingo Warrior' which is a 4x4, crew cab truck with safari in the back. The vehicle is available to registered guests who are licensed and insured drivers 26 years of age or older. There's no additional charge for the truck which will serve as transportation on Water Island only. There is a charge for any gas consumed. Our property manager, a full time resident on Water Island, tops off the tank prior to arrival and once the guests depart, tops off the tank again. In this way we determine how much gas was consumed during the stay and we passthru those costs to the guest. On average, guests staying for a week use 7 gallons of gas. Our Property Manager’s costs have been coming in around $6/gallon. So, average cost of gas for a one week stay has been $42.00.

Flamingo Point USVI has a large teak dining table indoors as well as large table on the porch for dining al fresco while watching the sunset. King Size beds and 60' blade super quiet ceiling fans in all bedrooms. You'll find 2 beach chairs, 1 beach umbrella and 2 beach towels in every bedroom closet with plenty of room for your clothes and shoes. Ample porch chairs with cushions and a gas grill on the porch.

About Jami Koenig

We cruised around the US and British Virgin Islands for over 20 years. We are based out of Florida with midwest roots. After sailing the US and British Virgin Islands, we stumbled upon Flamingo Point USVI and fell in love.

Jami Koenig purchased this house in 2003
Why Jami Koenig chose Water Island

Throughout the years we have explored many properties - each with their own unique view. But, after all our searching, the view from 'The Point' is the best in all the Caribbean. The constant breeze, sound of the waves, flora, fauna, blue water on 3 sides, both sunrise and sunset views from the porch, private secluded property, safety of Water Island, warm and friendly residents. Also, uniquely wonderful about our home is that each person has their own private bedroom. No pull-out couches. No futons. Everyone gets their own private space to retreat for quiet relaxation, sleeping, or a serious power nap. Another feature that sets Flamingo Point USVI apart from the rest is that our approx. 1 acre property is completely private and secluded on the southwestern-most point of Water Island. The property has a large grassy area, outdoor shower and foot shower, and large parking/turn-around area. Standing in the Lookout station you will be able to see islands and the Caribbean for miles and miles - For all these reasons, we believe we found paradise.

What makes this house unique

Private bedrooms; each with King size beds. No pull-out couches. No futons. Everyone gets their own private space to retreat for quiet relaxation, sleeping, or a serious power nap.

Large grassey area on the ~1 acre property

Secluded, private, no drive-by traffic

View of the Caribbean Sea from every room in the house.

No Need to Leave the Island

We had an awesome week at Flamingo Point. We woke up with the roosters, then prepared breakfast in our well equpped kitchen. Some of us then walked to the beach while the remaining came to the beach in the truck with supplies for day. We spent most days at the beach until late afternoon before returning. Evenings were peaceful. We spent the evenings playing cards on deck. What a view!!!.We watched cruise ships, sunsets, and the lights of St. Thomas. I had worried a little if there was enough on the island to keep the young adults(5) in our party occupied. No worries!! They were all happy with the totally relaxing atmosphere, most coming up with a plan on how they could live there. All were happy with WiFi service also. The house was spacious. Plenty of room inside and out for us all to congregate! Jamie was always just an e-mail or text away if we needed advice on anything. Home looked just like the pictures on-line. We felt at home as soon as we arrived. The book we received from the Owners about Flamingo Point and the area was extremely useful. A great place to meet up with your adult children for a family get-a-way!! We would come to the same place again. Very happy with our choice to stay at Flamingo Point. It gave new meaning to the word "vacation".
Owner's Response: Thank you so much posting review of Flamingo Point USVI! Great to hear your crew enjoyed your stay. Special thanks for leaving the house in such great shape! After a long travel day, you made our arrival so easy. Would love to have you come back!

Wonderful house, wonderful island

Our family of four (two teenagers) spent a week on Water Island, and had a difficult time persuading ourselves to get back on the ferry to head to the airport and back home. What a great place. The house is very nice, with four bedrooms, each with king-size beds, three of which have sliding glass doors that open up to let in near constant trade winds (at least during our visit in late March). The kitchen is very well equipped. We enjoy cooking, and cooked nearly all of our meals here, and I never lacked for anything I needed. I took the advice of the owners (who are incredibly helpful, and have written a 37 page booklet outlining the practical details of just about every step you may want to take before, during, and after your trip to Water Island), and hired the Grocery Goddess. For the price of a 20% tip (heck, that's what I'd pay in a restaurant), the Grocery Goddess will do your shopping for you, bring the groceries over by ferry, and the property manager (also very friendly and helpful) will bring your groceries to the house for you, and even stock them appropriately in the freezer, fridge, and cupboard. The house is clean, well equipped, well-maintained, beautifully located. I hesitate to write this review because I'd like as little competition as possible for lining up my next visit, but feel I owe it to the owners and the property manager who helped give us such a wonderful experience.

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for review! Glad to hear you enjoyed our home! Welcome you back anytime.

Best House on Water Island

5 of 5
Submitted: March 17, 2013 Stayed: October 2012
This week we just booked our 3rd stay at Flamingo Point for 10/2013! We are so excited and cannot wait to return. Whether going with your family, our first stay, or going for a girl's getaway, this will be our second time, this is THE best place to stay on Water Island! The house is great! The layout with a great room in the center and bed and bath "wings" off each end is perfect. The house has everything you could possibly need to feel right at home, from the fully equipped kitchen, to linens, to the comfortable furnishings, to the beach chairs, they have covered it all. The deck with it's 270 degree views is our favorite spot! We have breakfast in the morning and start our days with the sea views and the fresh sea air and we finish our days with dinner, relaxing to the sounds of the waves and watching the ships and planes go by. The Flamingo Warrior is provided with the house and makes getting around the island a breeze. Honeymoon Beach is a little piece of heaven with it's blue/green water, white sand and beautiful palm trees. We always "set up camp" for the day with our hammocks and books and could not feel more relaxed. Heidi's is great for lunch, offering many delicious options without having to leave the beach. You can easily take the ferry over to St Thomas if you choose, about a 10 minute trip one way.
All of the people on Water Island are extremely friendly and helpful. We always feel very safe and right at home while staying there. Jami and Ron are great! They have opened their home for others to enjoy and have made a vacation on Water Island very easy, very comfortable, and very relaxing. The information they provide prior to your stay is very comprehensive, well thought out and extremely helpful, making first time travels to Water Island a piece of cake! I cannot say enough about Flamingo Point, Jami and Ron, and Water Island! I travel all over the Caribbean and this is by far, one of my favorite places to stay! Once you go, you will never want to leave!!

House is great for our family!

Submitted: February 22, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
Wow! The week flew by, The house is beautiful and great for our big family. We loved the deck especially at night to relax to watch the ships and planes plus we always had our drink concoctions! Honeymoon Beach was fun and Heidi,s food was delicious . We had fun riding the ferry and going off island to Sapphire Beach & shopping in Frenchtown. we also went to Brewers Beach and it was quite nice also. The best part is our family being together and all the fun memories. Jami thanks for all your great info. It was very helpful. We will miss the weather.

Positively Wonderful

Submitted: December 20, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We wish we didn’t have to leave so soon! Everything here was positively wonderful, from the gorgeous house to the beautiful weather to all the exciting activities! We all snorkeled, mostly on Honeymoon Beach (but some of us went with Cpt. Joe to Buck Island), and it was amazing! We also fished, shopped downtown, and ate at Tickles. I think the most enjoyable part of everything, though, was the time spent eating or just lounging outside on the deck, taking in the view and the wonderful sea breeze.

Everything here was so well taken care of and convenient – thank you so much for allowing us to share this wonderful experience!

WOW! Fantastic

Submitted: December 20, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
WOW! Fantastic – We snorkeled the whole island. Best spot right here at the point! Sweet fish & some coral, Nurse Shark, beautiful green eel, a hovering lion fish which we tried, unsuccessfully, to spear.

Swimming at moon bay at night is fun. Another lion fish at limestone bay. Volleyball on the beach, swimming & watching the locals. Fun around here. Kids enjoyed the Easter egg hunt! And especially driving the Warrior!

Best of all is how well stocked the kitchen is. We cooked most every meal. 3 of us are gourmet cooks. Very happy with pots, pans & gadgets, thanks!!

Also fun to watch the frogs here at night, interacting with the local (endangered!!) birds here on the patio. We so enjoyed everything.

I just wanted to let you know that we are having a fabulous time. This house is by far the best we have ever stayed at on Water Island. The view, the spacious main area, the bathtub, the garlic press, the plastic wrap the pitchers! We feel as though EVERYTHING was thought of!

Everything was great. New ceiling fans are awesome and really enjoyed the new foot shower you installed on the porch. The only thing is the week goes by too quick! Can you do anything about that? Probably not. We enjoyed it immensely again and sure hate to have to go home tomorrow.
