Lions Gate Getaway is a private studio apartment in a lush, tropical setting, humming birds share your 270 degree view of St. John, Tortola and Red Hook Harbor. In just a few minutes you can walk into Red Hook for shopping, dinner, drinks and night life or catch the ferries to St. John and the BVI.
The spacious porch is a perfect way to enjoy your first cup of coffee or to sit back in the evening and watch the colors change over the islands with a cool beverage in your hand as the breeze passes by.
My husband Chris and I have lived on St. Thomas for over 20 years. He came to dive, I came to sail. We met and discovered we both had a love of the water and the Caribbean life style. Chris built this house on the top of the hill, and now we have expanded it to accommodate guests in our apartment that captures the Caribbean life style. We look forward to helping you enjoy your vacation in any way we can. Just ask for local tips on restaurants and activities.

Great Location!
I want to thank you Shane for enjoying Lion's Gate the way I do. Gazing at the view with the breeze. Some days it is hard to get off the porch and enjoy other parts of the island.
We can't wait for you to come back.
And thank you for leaving the apartment in such good shape. It was move in ready when you left.
Thanks again
Max
Absolutely more beautiful than even the most beautiful pictures could offer!
Hi
It was wonderful having you as my guests. I was disappointed that we couldn't go sailing but the weather just didn't cooperate.
I'm so glad you loved the view and all birds as much as I do. It's just so nice to wake up to nature all around you.
See you next time and thank you so much for choosing to stay with us
Max
Perfect island top retreat!
The pleasure was all ours having Geoff and Nicole stay with us.
The most considerate guests anyone could ask for.
They set a high bar for the next visitors.
I hope they come back to back in the sun and avoid the of the North.
Thanks so much for staying with us
Max and Chris.
Amazing view
We loved having you. I hope you consider this your getaway in the tropics when winter gets to be just to much.
It was great to be able to reward your patience waiting for us to get power with a stay in the cottage.
Thank you for taking such good care of it.
All the best
Max
Not a very good experience.
I am very sorry to hear that they had such an experience.
I would like to address a few of the issues they had.
Gas bottles do run out, it's a shame there isn't gauge on them, we switched it over as soon as we knew.
The exterminator comes once a month and came that very day and they die, sometimes not in an out of the way location
The apartment does have doors to separate it form the rest of the property. This has never been a problem but I am grateful for any concerns and will take care of it.
Since the hurricanes there is always work being done. Because of that I gave a discount for their stay.
The island is steep and every road, driveway has it's own characteristics,.
I only wish they had spoken to me about issues they had as I would have taken care of everything. If anyone every needs anything I am on property and can get it for them.
Again I feel badly about their experience and wish they had talked to me.
Please read other reviews as other guests did not have the problems these guests did.
An ideal place to get rejuvenated.
Having Jacki was such a pleasure. It's wonderful when guests enjoy the view and the breezes and find themselves more relaxed than when they came.
As an added treat there were 4th of July fireworks on St. John that we can see right from the porch.
I would love to have Jacki return. I hope that she thinks of us as her home in the tropics.
