So letâs start with the amazing host that throughly communicated with me prior and duration of my stay! The property is wayyyyyy better than the pictures! Itâs enough houses and spaces in this one area for multiple families or friends! This space was not only huge it was clean and the pool and other amenities made a five star stay. The best part was the views of the entire island from the balacony! Definitely going back every year !!
It was wonderful and peaceful. Having the individualize accommodations definitely worked. Having 2 kitchens worked out for us. The pool area was clean and spent everyday at some point as a place to meditate. Would stay here again.
Can't say enough! Really had a good time there being safe and clean. Owners are really nice and polite. Whenever I come back to St. Thomas I will be staying there.
This house was perfect for a large family. Kid friendly. Great pool. Beautiful view. The only thing I wasnt ready for was no central AC, however there are a ton of fans and the time of year we went it was comfortable at night. I would absolutely stay here again.
House was great! Plenty of space for everyone. Views were amazing. Only complaint is wish we had a little more privacy but overall was a great time by all.
Overall experience great. Quaint and quiet villa for those that donât want the hustle and bustle of city Rooms are large with comfortable beds and televisions Landscape and design of the property gives a feeling of being in a tropical oasis Has a pool to relax after spending the day shopping or sightseeing
This is truly a rare jewel, and beautifully kept. If your dates are not available, consider changing your dates. It is that good, if this is the sort of stay you like and seek.
Well what can I say. It's simply heaven on earth. Not only is the VIEWS like non other the host are the best in the world. They are friendly and never get in the way. The property is clean and near everything. Every time i visit the island I have to stay there. It's my home away from home.
The only thing that bothered me was the house was advertised as three queen bed rooms. The pool villa both rooms share a ceiling so itâs basically like being roommates. As everything said can be heard.
We went to The USVI on vacation to celebrate my best friends Birthday. When we arrived to the property everything was exactly like mentioned on the description of the property. Vicky & Tony greeted us at the entrance, they made us feel at home. The property has an amazing View from the pool/deck. Everything in the home was really nice and clean. Was an amazing vacation and will definitely recommend you staying here.
The view is amazing. The mosquitoes can be bad after if rains but if you keep the screens closed you are safe. The host was amazing and very communicative. This place is very boho chic. Only down side is no AC but itâs so close to the water that you wonât need it. If you want a real VI feel this is the place!
The place has a great view and the house has everything you need for a great stay!
The house had everything we needed - the kitchen was well-stocked, every room had a fan and there was wifi. The view from the pool area is great - though the pool is not private and is shared with the hosts. Victoria was our host and was lovely - we had a nice welcome note when we arrived and she even offered to pick us up from the airport! The house was very clean and there was access to laundry on the property. We only stayed one night (we had been on St. John and were leaving the following day at STT). Would absolutely stay again.
The one thing that isn't clear from the listing is that the pool is only open from 10am-8pm EST because it is shared with the hosts (so it's not private). So no breakfast by the pool and no dinner or after-dinner drinks.
This is a beautiful property with a distinctly and almost magical laid-back island vibe. Its landscaped grounds provide a patio area for grilling and dining outside. The view from the pool area is breathtaking. The property is complete with 4 tortoises and 2 wonderfully affectionate cats on site.
Inside, every wall and every shelf provides an opportunity for the eye to wander: the houses are pleasantly accessorized with pieces evoking that island feel. Additionally, the owner provides almost everything a guest could need, from linens and appliances (both large and small) to spices and toiletries and everything in between. ...she even left us a list of recommended activities and a ho-ho-ho bottle of rum! These houses are the most well-appointed rental houses we have ever stayed in.
The only thing about this property that I would take issue with was its declaration that it was a 15-minute walk to the beach. I suppose it would be possible to walk down to the beach in 15 minutes (if you had a skateboard, you could probably make it in under 3) but, because of its mountainous location, I think it would take even the most fit among us a good 60 minutes to make it back up the hill to the property.
But the area is quiet, and we would highly recommend this rental to anyone seeking a little piece of paradise.
The listing is not as stated.
1. HOME OWNERS LIVE ON PROPERTY and it is actively under remodel by the homeowner.
2. PERSONAL PETS ROAM THE PROPERTY. If you are allergic to cats specifically do not book. The cats will enter your space.
3. YOU CAN NOT FLUSH TOILET PAPER. This is the quote from sign left on the toilets, "Our water is collected from the rain so please conserve. THROW TOILET PAPER IN THE WASTE CAN. Flush toilet only when needed."
4. HOMEOWNER TRIED TO CHARGE MORE THAN LISTING. Listing states for occupancy of 8. We had a party of 5. I get up the first morning to a surprise invoice for $250 for having a 5th person. Homeowner stated the booking was for party of 4 which this number only came from direct email communication prior to our arrival. At last minute we had a 5th person which does not constitute a charge on a occupancy booking of 8. VRBO agrees and stated we are not responsible due to booking being for occupancy of 8.
We ended up leaving the property, and booking another property while filing a claim through VRBO for false and inaccurate listing plus non disclosure of the items listed above. Unless you like wrapping your waste in toilet paper to put in waste can, cats coming into your bedroom, or a potential additional invoice added without notice I would not even consider this property.
Great view, buggy, HOT (no air conditioning despite the pictures)
The lows: There is no air conditioning, despite the pictures showing a wall mounted air conditioner in the bedroom. The doors, windows and elsewhere were very porous and allowed many varieties of bugs to enter the sleeping areas which made (along with the heat) very difficult to sleep.
My advise: Don't stay there during July, August and Sept.
The Highs: Great view, great pool and good location.
This place was perfect. The pool was the perfect size and temperature. My family loved the turtles, the cats, the dog and the birds a that all live up n the premise and are all very friendly. Vicky and Tony are perfect hosts.
My husband and I have been snowbirds in St Thomas VI for over 10 years.Originally from Minnesota, we came on a cruise and decided we wanted to stay. We started out with a condo that we would rent when were off Island, but then decided we needed more room. We purchased our first home in Frenchman's Bay. It is a three bedroom, two bath house with a two bedroom one bath detached house. The house is a West Indie style built by Eric Winter. Eric Winter designed many homes and was a renowned Artist whose murals you can see in the Mall in TuTu. Over the years we have renovated and updated the home but have stayed true to the original theme as much as we can. In 2014 we both sold our shares in our health care business in Minnesota and decided to make St Thomas our home. We moved to St Thomas on June 17th. We have since opened our new business Tovilla Properties. We rent villa's, manage properties, and buy and sell. We are truly excited to share our love of the islands with you. We are as hands on as you want. We will pick you up and get you settled. We can arrange any and all of your excursions and get you this best deal.
Our Villa is private and in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. You need not go to the beach if you just want to relax with a cold drink in the pool and look out at the ocean. We strive for excellence in all that we do. The property has beautiful and meticulously kept gardens and living space. It is really the tropical look most vacationers are looking for. There can be 6-7 ships in port but up at our villa you hear nothing but the soft winds blowing. We are centrally located so not far to go shopping, dining or playing on the beach.
We knew this was the place as soon as we walked in the door. The ocean views are just breathtaking. Everything is lush. We have about thirty variations of palms and banana trees. Wake up in the morning to the sound of the Love birds and go to sleep listening to the crickets and frogs.
