Overview
Studio Apartment, 1 Bath (Sleeps 1-2)
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.

Wonderful!
4.9/5 -

Absolutely more beautiful than even the most beautiful pictures could offer!
We drove our jeep up the steep road and were thankful we had a jeep but more thankful we chose lions gate for our week of solace! You will live up in the trees with the flowers, birds, clouds and sunshine! What an amazing retreat this was; we will never stay anyplace else on St. Thomas! Disappointed that we couldn't sail with Max due to the weather but it is a must during our next trip!
Awesome view and location!
Great restaurants close by, snorkeling, parasailing, golf, sailing with our host Max, botanical gardens, white sand beaches and the ferry to St. Johns all within walking distance. House was clean, comfortable and kitchen well-equipped...bbq too! Max, Chris and the dogs were wonderful hosts...we will return.
Amazing Stay at Lion's Gate
We really enjoyed our stay at Lion's Gate. The views from the expansive terrace were incredible. We had breakfast outside every morning and a couple of our own "happy hours" relaxing on the lounge chairs in the afternoons. The location was perfect to go beach-hopping in St. Thomas and to board the car ferry to St. John's. We also took advantage of a sailing and snorkeling day excursion with Capt. Max and it was unforgettable. The studio apartment was clean and comfortable. We also really liked having our own kitchen and large shower.
Excellent
Lovely accommodations and views and I really liked Maxine's dogs Louie and Eva who came over and visited every day. I really liked the bathroom especially the shower and a great kitchen. A steep hike up a paved road that I did not mind but you should be aware of if you don't have a car. Great views of the harbor from a pretty terrace. Sounds of the town partying is heard at night and it can be difficult to sleep if the temp is warm but both should be able to be remedied by turning on the AC that I should of used. Gracious hosts.
Charming, steep incline, but what a view!
Charming decor on a steep incline with priceless views. Definitely want a rental for the full experience!
we couldn't have picked a better place. just perfect.
Max was a super-host & a super sailing-captain. (we never met her husband, Chris- but louie & eva the dogs were such welcoming hounds as we sorely miss our own mutts.) Everything about our stay was perfection & we can't wait to return!
