The room was a bit dated but the lobby area was beautiful! An amazing view of the Caribbean while eating a fresh breakfast. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and all of our needs were met.

If you need a quiet area for a peaceful mind this is the place for you. I spent 3 days there I felt like I was home. The view is breathtaking where you can explore the city etc…. I will stay there again if I go back to st Thomas. Libby is very nice and great host. The only thing you will need to go out to eat since the restaurant doesn’t open everyday specially during my stay. I can say I enjoyed my stay at island view guest house I hope to seeing you again Libby

This is a lovely place to stay. The service was great! The GPS could not find the place and the receptionist was so gracious and drove to our location so we had a vehicle to follow. Very personal service! Views are fabulous! We highly recommend this quaint Guesthouse!

Extra clean and well accented.

Wonderful views of the island. I liked the location as it was centric and I could go everywhere at a relatively short distance. The cleanliness of the room and the details were impressive.

Island View has a great view and we had a nice, clean room with a comfy bed, cooling heat pump, microwave and fridge. Great space to sit near the pool, too. Not so good: no bath soap (only smelly hand soap), no glasses, no way to bring ice to your room except in a small glass from the self-serve bar, stones in floor of shower are loose and gather in the drain, no restaurant (we learned on arrival that it had closed), and a skimpy breakfast of two small slices of watermelon, two small sausages and two waffles. In short, it’s not nearly as good as when we stayed here a few years ago.

Husband and I had a very nice visit. We liked that it was small and private-feeling. We think you really need to rent a car to stay here; taking cabs would (probably - we didn't do it!) be so onerous and limiting. Our room was great and just like the pictures. We loved the balcony and appreciated the A/C and mini-kitchen.
