Easy location located right in the city, everything is well within driving distance and some are even walking distance. The amenities are great and the staff/owners are wonderful. Very hospitable place , with beach chairs and umbrellas available to use for the beach and the pool being 50 feet away with a wonderful view. Couldn’t ask for anything better. Would recommend this place to anyone and will be returning in the future.

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon. At first we were a little taken back by the size of the space but once we stepped out on the balcony we fell in love with it! Mark was incredibly nice and helpful with recommendations and attending to our needs! Parking was a little tight with construction going on in the surrounding area but honestly parking was tight throughout the entire island. We took advantage of the location and visited the shoppes frequently! The views were beautiful and the space was exactly what we needed! When we come bact to St Thomas we will stay here again for sure!

First, let me start with one that isn't always clear, given the previous reviews. This is NOT a bed and breakfast. There is no breakfast. They apparently stopped doing breakfast over a year ago, and are struggling to get that information out.

That being said, this place is amazing for people who are fairly physically fit. The entire town is set on a big hill, and the rooms here are set a fair amount up the hill from the ocean. This allows for great views, and it is a straight downhill trek to shopping and food. If the thought of a few steps doesn't scare you, this is a fantastic location. If the idea of walking up and down a few flights of steps isn't your thing, then this might not be the best place for you.

We found that there was reserved parking (if you decide to drive) close to the rooms, and never had an issue finding a spot. The area is gated and they will give you a key, adding an extra layer of safety, which we liked.

This place is owned by a husband-and-wife team, and they are absolutely amazing. They allowed us to check in early with no issues, provided us with many tips on places to go, shopping, food, etc. They even helped us book a massage.

Finally, the amenities were very good. A nice patio with a pool, which had plenty of seating, sun shades, etc. They had a microwave available and even plates, silverware, and glasses. They had snorkel and beach gear free to borrow as well.

We really enjoyed our stay here.

We really enjoyed our stay. Jessica and Marc were excellent hosts, and had thought of most everything well before we asked. At checkin we got a link to well organized information we would need, like tell able taxi drivers and restaurants that are open on Sundays...
Although there were 5 rooms rented we we only saw one other couple on site at any given time, it was like having the place to yourself. And the view from the balcony is top notch!

The rooms were very small. They were clean. The owner wipe water from the floor with a towel which was the same type in the room. I wondered if the guest towel are used for the same purpose. The towels were very thin. There was rust on the faucet to the sink in the pool area. I had a three night. stay but checked out after one night. I would not recommend this hotel.

As a loyal Hotels.com customer, I rely heavily on reviews. The more someone can know about a property, the better. First, the positives. This property is in a really good location and has awesome views from the pool area, not so much from the rooms. The owners are also very nice and accommodating. That said, the following is important to know if you are considering a stay. We had one of their 2 largest rooms. By my estimation, it was about 165 square feet, which is small. Case in point, our refrigerator and waste basket were on the front porch. There is also not a lot of attention to detail when it comes to maintaining the property. There was a fair amount of leaves and dirt around the common areas and the pool was dirty. There were hoses that were laying out the entire time we were there that we had to step over to enter our room. There were also ladders and other equipment in the common areas that just doesn’t make for an inviting space. Specific to our room, we had to shut our AC unit off at night because it made a whining sound that made it difficult to sleep. All in all, this property just didn’t seem to have a level of care and upkeep that you would expect.

It’s a property that has charm and character. It’s a beautiful place. The hotel 1829 is a few min walk down some steps nearby and dinner there was amazing. We went back twice just for the cocktails. It was quiet for the most part. We had the pool to ourselves 90% of the time. A 15 min walk got us to shops, a market, bars, etc. If you are blessed, you will have the chance to pet ocho, the sweetest good boy you’ve ever met. I really appreciated the tips and lists they had for us to help us decided the best places to go. If I ever hat the chance to visit again, I would stay here. The owners are kind and helpful. The only thing I would change is the mattress on our bed, it was a bit hard. They have everything you need here to have a good trip.

The owner was nice and wanted to help make our stay nice, but he couldn't hide the fact that the pictures he took to 'sell' the place were very generous. Literally the best example of good lighting and strategic camera work to make a run down place seem nice online. Dirty kitchen. Run down front desk. Literally have to walk up and down 101 steps to get anywhere. Our taxi driver had to drop us off 1,000 yards from the place.

The pictures did not do the place justice. The stone stairs that you had to take if you wanted to walk anywhere or incredibly inconvenient. The bed is very hard and when I said something about this to the host, they did not offer anything. I had to ask for an extra comforter to put down to even make this day, manageable. Also, I read on three or four different websites that this place had bed and breakfast. When I arrived, I asked the host that gave us a tour of the place and she stated that they had not done that for a while over a year. I was very disappointed. The pool was very dirty and the place was just not what I was expecting. I will not be staying here again.

Jess and Mark were remarkable hosts. They offered us snorkel equipment, chairs and a cooler to bring to the beach which made things so easy. The property is just a short walk to downtown to restaurants and shopping. Currently there is construction going on behind the hotel but it really wasn't bothersome. Breakfast was served restaurant style, a varied menu daily and delicious. The hotel itself is rustic, intimate, island style and very comfortable. There are several steps to get in and out of the property but that is typical being on a steep hill. Definitely recommend.

Mark, Jess and Lauren do magnificent jobs as hosts! They're very welcoming and offer helpful insights into getting around the islands, scheduling taxi pickups, and understanding the local culture. Their guest rooms are very clean, everything works, premises are safe, and breakfasts are delicious!! The view from our balcony of the harbor/bay and many islands was beautiful. The only negative was the weather---heavy rains before and after arrival increased the humidity levels (but room AC was excellent) and rain caused considerable runoff reducing ocean clarity. Taxis are expensive from the airport to hotels and to ferries. We walked throughout the historic district and harbor to sight-see and for dinners, and enjoyed the exercise going up and down the very steep steps and hills. Our best dinner and price was at nearby Greenhouse Restaurant & Bar, and the worst dinner and price(!) was at Greengos Caribbean Cantina. Tap & Still is a great deal too (both on St. Thomas and St. John), if you like tasty burgers and fries. Arawak (recommended by Mark & Jess) did a great job with our kayak/snorkel tour finding calm seas, clear water, beautiful beaches and many, many fish and coral on St. John.

This B&B was perfect for our anniversary stay after 12 days of party at the BVI regatta. Jessica greeted us on our arrival, and gave us a map with suggestions of events and restaurants. She was in contact daily via text, and even let me borrow some nail polish remover. We like to sleep in & skip breakfast, so she kindly brought a pot of coffee & fruit to our door front every morning. Bring your walking shoes, because At The Tropics is nestled up a hill within 10 minute walk to the main areas of shopping. We loved getting exercise in, especially after living on a catamaran for so long! I track my steps on my Apple Watch & had over 12k steps all 3 days we were there. :) We walked to the cruise harbor area for shopping & dining. We highly recommend Tap & Still for the best hamburgers with the lowest cost we’ve seen out on vaca. We even brought an extra burger back which we ate the next day. At Tropics has a kitchen area outside by the pool with microwave, sink, dishes & 5 gallon water dispenser at your convenience. Also, the pool is accessible at any time of day or night. The days were humid in October, so we looked forward to the pool in the evenings to cool off. The icing on the cake was we had the place to ourselves!!
We would definitely stay here again!!

My husband and I had a great time at this fantastic Bed and Breakfast Hotel. This time we decided to avoid resorts and feel instead how an islander lives. The location is perfect for exploring the city center with many attractions and restaurants around. Walking around the bay was amazing and walking down and uphill was our perfect amount of daily exercise! We would like to thank the hosts Jess and Mark for being so friendly and welcoming. Also, Lauren who was helping them, she was very sweet and attentive. The room was care for and beautifully prepared, very clean and with everything you need to make your stay at home. They also provide beach accessories such as chairs, blanket and sunscreen. Every morning we have a different and delicious breakfast next to the pool with a stunning view. So if you really want to feel at home but in the tropics, in a quiet and romantic environment, this is definitely your place! We highly recommend it and we will return in a future visit.

Property owners Jess and Mark have a jewel of a spot with vistas directly overlooking the Bay. Our stay was unforgettable and so was the hospitality.

This property was absolutely breathtaking! The rooms were clean, bright and airy. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and some of the ingredients were grown right there on the property. Mark and Jess were so wonderful and truly cared about making our trip enjoyable. The B&B was a short walk to downtown/restaurants/shops. Unfortunately, there were quite a few stairs to get back up to the property if walking. I did not mind the stairs as it was a great way to get some exercise on vacation, just not so great for those who are physically disabled. I would definitely recommend this property and look forward to staying at their other property when open, Hotel 1829.

Perfect!

This was my 2nd time back to At Home at the Tropics? Great location and such an intimate experience. With only 5 rooms, we welcomed getting to know the others guests. The pool is new and clean. And, Jess’ breakfasts were all sooo delicious!

We will definitely come back in the future, and recommend this BnB to friends visiting St Thomas!

Hosts were great. Breakfast was great. Located 102 steep steps to town. Do not come if you cannot climb a lot of steps. Room was very small and shower was in the bedroom. Bathroom was only large enough for camped and small sink.

Mark and Jess truly provide beautiful place for you to stay. Mark is always available for tips on the island and Jess's delectable homemade breakfast is the highlight of each and everyday. This is truly a gem in the tropics, they make each and everyday you stay with them memorable. The rooms are just perfect and views of the harbor are beautiful. I truly believe that Mark and Jess make a home for you in the tropics. See you soon

At home in the tropics

If I could give 10 stars I absolutely would! This bed and breakfast is an absolute dream for your short or long stay while in St.Thomas. It's located within Charlotte Amalie and in walking distance or a short taxi ride to most things. Our room was impeccable, comfortable, and inviting. Your hosts Mark and Jess are genuine, welcoming and overall just wonderful people. The delicious breakfast every morning appears to alternate between sweet and savory. Trust me the breakfast won't disappoint you. In closing I will only stay at this property when I return to St.Thomas and I highly recommend you book here too. You will love it!

Nothing is within walking distance and there is no food delivery in the island, but that’s not the fault of the B&B. They were fantastic and helpful, especially the breakfasts!

We enjoyed the historic property. It was clean, quaint, and quiet. The view of the harbor was outstanding. Excellent innkeepers and wonderful food for our breakfasts. Swam in the pool daily and watched the sunset from our balcony most evenings. Highly recommend staying At Home in the Tropics.

We loved being so close to many dining and shopping options while also feeling tucked away from everything.

I can’t say enough good things for our stay here! The property was always locked and safe, our room was so clean and cute, our breakfast was amazing!! All the food was homemade by the host, Jess. My personal favorite was the morning we had a coconut smoothie with eggs in a homemade bread bowl. The view was amazing and the property was so picturesque. Additionally, the bed was so comfortable, probably the most comfortable bed and pillows I’ve ever had on vacation. To top it off, the hosts were so hospitable and welcoming. Can’t recommend this place enough! Thanks guys!

At home in St Thomas

Our 8 day stay at At home in the Tropics was excellent and made more pleasant by the helpfulness of the owners Jess and Mark. The breakfasts were a treat to be looked forward to each day and were varied and tasteful, cooked fresh by Jess each morning. The property is 200 years old but well maintained and a credit to the owners. Everything worked as it should except for a TV glitch that we overcame with Mark's help. We would highly recommend this B & B for any able bodied guest as being on a hilly island results in plenty of steps to negotiate which seemed to get easier after a few days.

This adorable bed & breakfast was perfect for my 2-night stay in St. Thomas. The bed and pillows were some of the softest I’ve ever slept on. Mark & Jess were amazing hosts. You can see that they take great care in making the space a welcoming one. Don’t hesitate to book here. You won’t regret it.

We stayed for 6 nights at this property and the experience was amazing. Mark and Jess couldn't have been nicer hosts with a ton of knowledge of where to eat and what to do on St. Thomas. The breakfast each morning was delightful and well presented. Rooms were comfortable and the balcony view was amazing. We hope to get back here again someday soon!
