Caribbean Style Waterfront Villa

It was a very nice property but still needs some work. The bathroom door on the living room level has the knobs on upside down so we had an episode of two people getting locked in bit fortunately we got them out. Joel was very hospitable and tried very hard to get us internet but I think with the problems on the island it couldn't work out. Hopefully the next time we come to St. Thomas it will be fully restored. All in all we did have a good time.

The house was great and well-appointed. It was a little remote, but the view was fantastic and we felt very safe. We were there for ten days and it was the best vacation I have had. Thank you so much!

Review is in the book in the front room.

Spent a week at this home while attending a destination wedding for my son with my wife, daughter, son in law and their two kids, age 4 and 7. It is the perfect spot, carved into the side of a mountain, which means many stairs. People with leg problems might be better suited to stay at a hotel. The master bedroom is located on the top floor, which is accessed by a spiral staircase. We did not allow the children to use the lower level bedroom because of their age and they bunked with their parents of the main level.

The house was very clean and had that all-important Island vibe. The house is dated and requires some maintenance. One of the kitchen windows that should have opened to the prevailing winds was barely open and frozen in place. The other double wide kitchen window over the sink was blocked closed by the sink faucet?? On the other side of the open floor plan was a double set of doors that would not open. We also had to repair a very large screen on one of the main level doors. I would suggest that the weathered wood deck be treated with deck paint, which would help eliminate the possibility of splinters. The gas grill had plenty of gas, but no drip pan. We experienced a giant mess, which we had to clean up when grease from the grill ran out from the grill over the pool decking. My final suggestion would have the locks rekeyed so that a single key opens most doors and gates.

We did find the owner to be responsive to a couple of issues we experienced and enjoyed the bottle of rum he left for us as a welcoming gift.

This Villa was perfect for our family of six adults. The home is very clean, well maintained, nicely furnished, and thoughtfully decorated. Everything is here for fun on the islands. We appreciated the beach towels and snorkel equipment. Great to have a washer/dryer. AC in the bedrooms made for a restful night after busy days. Beds and pillows were great.
