We had a really nice time in Water Island. There were a few inconveniences with the house at first (getting hot water right, and bath drain plugs were full) and no beach towels/chairs were provided. But the host took care of house issues quickly. Overall a very nice place at a fair price. Good communication and support arriving from our host.
Great location and great view. Property was as expected. Host was responsive and very helpful. She addressed a couple of issues quickly that did not affect our stay. Overall great experience and would stay here again.
Better then expected. Home was updated from the pics. Lisa was very quick to respond to any questions. Warer pump went out on day 1 & was fixed on day 1. The views were amazing! Will definitely book here again!
We wanted the view and we got it! Weâve been to Water Island several times and love staying on this side of the island. It was the perfect stay and we appreciate the owner accommodating our last minute request to stay! The house had plenty of room and everything is as advertised! Thanks again!
We had so much fun at our little island house. It has everything you need and an awesome view. A short golf cart ride to Honeymoon Beach, which is the best beach on all of St Thomas/Water Island in my opinion.
Close to everything needed on Water Island. Make sure to buy items on the mainland and rent a golf cart. Beautiful property with good value. Many thanks to Lisa for all her help!
Bella Vita is exactly as described and pictured. Be aware it is a small studio, adjoined with a larger unit in the same home. The space was fine for me and my two kids. Very nicely and comfortably decorated with a comfy bed and futon, but small: a curtain for bathroom door and no bathroom sink.
Communication with the host was, unfortunately, less than ideal. Our flight was delayed and I was afraid we would miss the last ferry so I called but got no response and VM was not set up. So I texted, but got no response. Also, the host did not email or otherwise reach out to let us know the door code in advance, or how important a golf cart rental would be. Fortunately, I had arranged to rent a golf cart anyway, and it was only through Beatrice at Rachel's Rentals (golf carts) that were we able to locate the unit. Then we had no way to get in, however, my son was able to guess the door code. Otherwise, we would not have been able to get inside the unit. Thank goodness Beatrice so kindly offered to drive us to the unit and call the host for us, because this is a remote location and there would have been no other option to return to St. Thomas or find another place to stay that night. Before we guessed the code, we were wondering if we would have to sleep upstairs in the other unclean, but unlocked, unit. Likewise, there were no instructions inside the unit to access the wifi, work the television (which we never could get to work), or work the air conditioner.
We loved our stay at this property! We had four people, and it was very comfortable. The views were fantastic, and we loved spending time on the patio. We also liked being close to Heidi's Grill and even joined in playing the local bingo game on Saturday afternoon. Next time here, we will stay longer than 2 nights. It went by too fast!
We had an awesome time in water island. I do wish that the listing gave more detail about the home being on the top of a very steep rocky hill and there being a requirement for a golf cart. The golf cart rental place sells out daily and we had to keep calling asking for cancellations daily. Luckily we were able to get a cart at the last min each day. It is NOT walking distance to nearby restaurants or bars or the beach. A cart is a requirement!!
Also, I was unfamiliar with the island and didnât realize I needed to take a ferry daily to go to st Thomas. The ferry stops running at 6pm so I wasnât able to enjoy night life. The property Mgr did make me aware of these things a couple days before I arrived, which it was too late by then.
Outside of that, the house and view was absolutely beautiful and I would highly recommend! I will definitely be back! Iâm now looking for a vacation property in StThomas!
Love to travel: adventure, wine, culinary, cultural, etc...Motorbike tours trough Europe. I own a beach bar in Water Island, US Virgin Islands (Dinghy's Beach Bar and Grill), D's Beach Bar in St. Maarten, and vacation rental properties.
