Beautiful Setting, but Misleading Location and Poor MaintenanceLOCATION WARNING: The listing states this property is a 1-minute walk to the water. This is completely inaccurate. There is no beach or water access within walking distance; a car is mandatory. As this "core promise" was our primary reason for booking, the misrepresentation was a major disappointment.HOST INTERACTION: Shelley was excellent—kind, patient with directions, and very gracious regarding a rental car key incident. Her hospitality is the highlight of the stay.AMENITIES & CLEANLINESS: The unit requires urgent "TLC."• Cleanliness: Windowsills and screen doors had long-term build-up of dirt and insects. The kitchen sink and salt shaker were heavily rusted/neglected. • Maintenance: Several outlets are non-functional. Living room blinds are missing slats, compromising privacy. The shower caddy is broken, and the towel holder is bent and rusted. • Comfort: Providing more than two pillows would greatly improve the guest experience. • Safety: A long-reach kitchen lighter is needed for the stove to avoid burns.SUGGESTIONS: Manual: A printed guide for Wi-Fi and stove instructions is needed. • Navigation: Since GPS fails, use these coordinates: (18.365513, -64.978857). • Local Info: grocery stores, lists with restaurants, bars, different tours and taxis would be very helpful.The tropical forest setting is peaceful, but the unit needs a deep clean and an honest description to match the host's kindness.

Beautiful private hideaway
We were looking for something private, and away from the hectic atmosphere of resorts. This was a unique find reasonably priced and everything our family needed. Shelley was an amazing host Who communicated well with us. She lives on the property so she was able to help us with anything we needed. it was amazingly romantic, even with a child with us we enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Caret Bay Hideaway - Serenity
Carey Bay Hideaway is a hidden gem in a great location on St. Thomas. If you’re looking for a place away from the tourist hustle and bustle, this is a great spot. It is fairly remote, but no 4-wheel drive is required. The location allows for easy access to lesser known restaurants/beaches that not many cruise shipper can get too. The place itself is surrounded by a jungle like setting. You will fall asleep to frogs chirping along with the gentle noise of the ocean off in the distance. This is a must book for those looking to get away.
