It was my family and I, first trip to St. Thomas and this villa made our first visit amazing and enjoyable. This listing is situated just a stone throw away from secret harbor beach.
The neighbor is good for a morning walk or jog. It is just minutes away from the Red Hook district, where you can get great food. We ate at Hook’d, Duffy love shack, Caribbean Saloon, Sunset Grill at Secret Harbor, all are really good.
This listing online promotional pics does this property no justice. The property was more then we expected. Joanne, the property manager was great. We didn’t have to trouble her much, but she was just 10 digits away. She answered every time we called.
First, the property, before settling in we toured the villa, it was nice. The villa was very clean upon our arrival. The view of secret harbor beach from every room, is great. There is 2 patio’s and a balcony over looking the beach. The furniture is in good condition. The beds were really comfortable. We got some really good sleep. It is fully equipped with all the utensils needed to cook breakfast, lunch or dinner. There are plenty of dishes to serve about 8. The property was stocked with all cleaning supplies (some of the supplies I use at home, this put me more at ease). There was disinfectant wipes and spray(Lysol and Clorox). The villa has plenty of bath linens and beach towels. It has a washer and dryer.
The A/C units in the house gets cold instantly. The water for showering get really hot(a plus).
I didn’t see a fire extinguisher or a first aide kit. The runner rugs in the hallway are curling on the end. The rugs slide on the tile. I recommend to the property manager that the owner should consider replacing, because this could pose a safety hazard causing one to trip/slip and fall.
There are a few cosmetic things that needs tending to, a few cracked tiles, the bookshelf in the dining area, electrical outlets covering, one broke chair in one of the guest bedroom.
This villa was cool and welcoming. It was secure all the sliding glass doors lock. The house locks with a key from the inside. Staying here we felt safe and that made our vacation all the more enjoyable.
We really enjoyed this villa and St. Thomas!
