Our first visit to St Thomas was incredible thanks to our stay at Villa Marina. From the communication prior to our arrival, during our stay, and once we left, we could not ask for more. This was the perfect place for our family as it had 2 spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen/living room area. Each bed room has a slider out to the balcony that overlooks the bay and yachts. Super convenient to the ferry to St John’s. The pool was an added bonus for us. After spending the days sightseeing, we would come back, have an adult beverage or two down by the pool. Just an absolute amazing time. This was our first time to St Thomas and will not be our last. Would highly recommend staying here to anyone. I would highly suggest to anyone coming to St Thomas to rent a vehicle rather than taxis. It makes it so much easier to get around and see things.

During the first full day of our four-night stay, the unit lost power around noon while the island was experiencing outages. We notified the property contact at approximately 1:00 p.m. and were told power would return within 30–60 minutes. By 6:00 p.m., power had not been restored, and we were informed the water would be turned off in an effort to restore power.

At approximately 7:30 p.m., we reported that our unit still had no power or water. We were then informed the water supply was connected to a neighbor’s generator, which was no longer available. Without running water, we had to use pool water to flush the toilet.

After I sent a picture of the unit below us with power and us without, the property owner indicated the generator was not functioning and that someone would be sent to repair it. Our rental agreement stated the unit had a generator and continuous water access. Power returned around midnight.

The next morning, we secured alternate accommodations and left. The property owner issued a partial refund and advised us to contact Hotels.com regarding any additional reimbursement. We feel we were not made whole.

Great sized space for 2 to 3 people. Absolutely gorgeous view and each bedroom has its own slider to just walk out on. Plenty of air conditioning to escape the humidity. The view comes at a cost though.. the hill is very steep and taxis are expensive so I suggest renting a car. The restaurants at the bottom of the hill are fantastic for all types of meals. Grocery shop at Moe's down the hill to grill out on the deck. The ferry to St. John is right across from you and to see the beautiful beaches and sea turtles at Maho. The property manger was always accessible and very accommodating! We are definitely staying at Vista Marina again. Everyone on the island was so friendly, also!

The beds in both rooms were great. We enjoy a firmer bed so they were just perfect. Plenty of restaurants and grocery store at the bottom of the hill and you can take a short taxi to additional options. The owners and management team were very thoughtful with the additional amenities within the unit!! We cooked breakfast and two dinners and had all the utensils. The coffee options were amazing!!

This property has a stunning view of Red Hook and Vessup Bay, St John and other islands. The beds were comfortable; the kitchen has some dishes and cookware and a cooler that was very handy to take to the beach. You need a car with four wheel drive to get up the road to the property (road is steep and narrow). Close to the car ferry, and grocery stores, which is very convenient. We had a great time.

We loved the access to the ferry and St. John's national park beaches. The access to grocery and restaurants was great. The hill is steep and a workout; but, the views at the condo are well worth it. Also, taxis are plentiful near the ferry dock. Delano, with the property management company, was fantastic and really helpful.

The property has a great view of Red Hook Bay. Easy to get to St. John via boat ferry. The inside of the property is beautiful but we lost power and water for few hours. The beds are hard, I personally like softer bed.

Pros: beautiful apartment with a spectacular view of the ocean and harbor. Comfortable beds and furniture and a balcony that was like a gateway to heaven. The host was friendly and happy to help. Had many unexpected extras like beach towels, sunscreen and an XBox.
Cons: getting to the apartment was like climbing a very crumbly road to the top of Mt. Everest. It was not easy to get to and the cab drivers took full advantage of the fact that the climb up was difficult on foot and charged an arm and a leg just to take you up the hill. We tried it by foot…once. Do not recommend. Next, there is a set of stairs that leads down to the apartment door. The last step is hanging on by its fingernails. It felt sturdy, but it absolutely did not look sturdy. The air conditioning was awesome, but we had to spend a night without it in one of the bedrooms. Luckily it was working in the main room and the other bedroom. It was fixed the next day but I feel like it was something that should have been fixed before we got there. One final complaint is that when the power went out (it is an island after all) there wasn’t any working water. Not having access to water in a tropical climate is not good. There were several properties nearby that had generators. At the very least having a small one so access to water isn’t affected would be good.

The view is amazing, we loved relaxing on the deck having our morning coffee or evening nightcap and just watching the harbor. Don't let the steep hill concern you, it’s well worth the privacy and ideal proximity to Red Hook. The pool is another added bonus. We highly recommend this property!

My girlfriend and I stayed at Villa Marina Vista for three nights on short notice, and enjoyed our stay. There were several pros: Xaverie the concierge was very helpful, made sure we had good directions to the property, gave us an early check-in, and was generally available to us. The location of the property couldn't be beat - with a nice view and within walking distance of Red Hook (good restaurants, bars, and ferry to St. John). The amenities in the property were extensive: three large flat screen tvs, direct tv, Alexa, xbox, bbq, washer/dryer, iron, vacuum, and a book they put together rivaling any travel guide. On the downside, the pool was full of leaves when we arrived on Thursday. That had been cleaned up by Friday evening. But the pool needs a refurb. The ladder was badly broken, and paint chipped off bottom of the pool in several places. The apartment shows signs of wear: one closet missing hinge, comes off track upon opening, paint chipped; one safe was out (no batteries); and blinds are in bad shape. We also had trouble with spotty internet service. Couldn't stream online or use the Alexa without frequent interruptions, and my laptop (vpn'ing into work) kept locking up requiring reboots. Altogether, I think this is a good value for two couples or a family. I would stay here again with four or more people to defray the cost.

Overall this was an excellent stay. The view was beyond perfect. Felt pretty close to home away from home. Only downsides are: 1.Parking- you have to just park along the driveway and hope that the other villas didn’t take up all the space. 2. Showering- water is either extremely HOT or freezing Cold. 3. Trash- You have to drive your trash to a dump site, not too far about a 3 min drive or so. Like I said though overall it was an amazing stay. Would definitely stay again if we every make it back to St.Thomas!

We loved the condo itself and the view was spectacular!
We arrived at about 8:30-9:00 pm. It was a harrowing experience driving there in the dark. At that point we would have appreciated food instead of wine because it took over 3 hours to get our rental car and there was no food available at the airport.
We were SO grateful to Lisa for being our gps to get us to the condo.

The pictures dont lie...absolutely beautiful!
Great kitchen...it had everything plus outdoor auto start grill. A stones throw(or 2) from some of the best restaurants in St Thomas. Perfect for 2 couples or Family of 5. In our case, we had 2 adults, 1 teenager and 2 young kids...Was perfect for our family. It was fantastic to relax in a comfortable bed and watch Netflix(large screen smart tvs) at the end of a beautiful day on the beach. Nice pool on property to cool off in upon arrival home. Great back porch with magnificent view of St John and East end. Super kind and accommodating staff so nothing negative at all to say. I would suggest to guests visiting this property to rent a 4 wheel drive vehicle...Jeep/SUV...ECT....We had an SUV, so it was easy, but a short trip up the hill may be a bit more dificult in smaller vechicle...especially if it rains.
Many thanks to Steve and Lisa for making our trip.the best one yet!!
