The Beach House, St. Thomas.

all in all a good stay at this house. some of the bedrooms are definitely nicer than others. we used every bedroom in this house.

the drive down to the house was unreal. our initial response was holy crap! are you kidding!?? after driving however, for the next SEVERAL days, it SEEMED to get better. you definitely need a car to get to this house as cabs will not take you down the road to get to this house. the roads are super narrow and have no shoulder and in some areas washed away making it difficult to navigate.

The photos of this house are great! Look closely at the photos for the bedrooms. They are accurate. The 3rd bedroom in the cottage is not photographed however and should be. Its very small and not much counter space to place small personal belongings. There is only 1 full - indoor bathroom in the whole place. It is very nice. Also 1 indoor half bath in the cottage. The 3 of the 4 showers are outside. Which really is not a big deal. it was fun to shower outside - the one in the cottage is the most private of all outside showers.

There were very small bugs on the counter tops - which i think may be inevitable for the location of the house and the nature of the counter tops. the counter tops in the kitchen are tile squares with crumbling grout. We told the owner and his response was they spray or exterminate every 3 weeks and he didn't offer anything else. i tried not to look too closely but couldn't help myself. ;) i used lysol and paper towels each and every time before and after getting our food out. there should be something more done on this.

the outside deck / porch was beautiful. the chairs on the deck were great to sit to get sunshine. the dining table outside was also beautiful. i think this was why we chose this place along with the 'private beach'. (even though it was mostly shady)

the house also had 3 kayaks that could take 5 people out. this was a lot of FUN but also a bit scary as the waves coming into the beach were strong at times. be very careful if kayaking.

all in all a good stay at this house. it was actually very clean - just needs serious attention on the counter tops. i bet a different top would solve the issue we had.

We had a great time at the house. Its location on the water is fantastic and very easy when vacationing with little ones. You don’t have to load up a truckload of supplies and kid items—you just walk down the stairs. The house was clean and had all of the items a family needs. I did have to wear bug spray only when I slept because something ate me up at night, bug spray stopped the eating. I suggest bug spray in case you are as delicious to bugs as me. Finally, you do not need to rent a 4x4 vehicle to get to the house as others have said, but you might prefer one. Other roads on the island might also be more comfortable with a 4x4, but again not required.

This is our second time visiting the Beach House and we are still in love. Driving down winding and bumpy mountain roads to a secluded house tucked into a mountainside jungle makes it even more adventurous. The beach and house feel very private. The owner has always been accommodating and Camille, the house manager, is always great to work with. Our entire family spent every day swimming and snorkeling. We also went on a fishing charter and did some inshore fishing.

We left a day earlier than planned due to Hurricane Dorian rolling it's way in. While that wasn't part of our plans, we still enjoyed every minute of our stay. By the end we were all on island time, definitely plan on coming back!

This place is amazing!! Absolutely beautiful views. The kids had a great time out in the kayaks. I would definitely come back to the beach house. Thank you so much for letting us stay here!

We were greeted at the airport by Camille, who was absolutely amazing during our stay! She took us to the grocery store and then to the Beach House. We definitely would recommend renting a jeep - the Road was a little rough. We arrived at the beach house and it was more beautiful than the pictures! Our family consisted of 6 adults and 3 children ages 1, 6 & 10. There was a mix up on the rented crib and high chair and before bedtime Camille bought both and delivered them to the house herself thanks to the owners approval ( That’s great customer service!!!!) We had a minor problem in the downstairs bedroom in the main house but Camille, Nate (maintenance man)and the housekeeping staff took care of it right away!

Our daughter, son-in-law and grandson stayed in the main house up stairs and we stayed in the main house down stairs. Our son, daughter-in-law and 2 granddaughters stayed in the beach house next to the house. We all had the privacy we needed and there was more than enough room in the main house to eat our meals together, watch a movie and sit out on the deck overlooking the beautiful beach! We all loved the hot tub and taking showers outside while viewing the ocean! The weather was perfect so we were able to snorkel, look for shells, fish, kayak and enjoy the beach every day!

The boys went fishing with 2 captains the second day we were there and the caught 18 Tuna and 11 Mahi Mahi. The largest fish was 50 pounds! They were great eating!

We all had a fantastic time! The day before we left our 6 year old granddaughter asked me if grandpa could arrange for us to stay for 4 or 5 more weeks!!!!

We would definitely recommend the Beach House for a family vacation!
