The cottage with the view!

My husband and I had an amazing trip to St Thomas! This cottage gave us the true island life feel which is what we were looking for. It has all the amenities, however, we did not really need them since we truly came to disconnect and enjoy each others company. The roads to the cottage is very steep but we loved that part too(make sure to have that Jeep rental)! We are already planning our next stay at this location! The owners are quick to respond and amazing hosts! If you are looking for a true island life stay, this is your go to!

Great view and peaceful place to stay

This was great place to stay with my family on the quiet North side of the island. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we would need. It was fun hanging out on the balcony with the increadible view of Magen's bay and the ocean. The owner was great to deal with and answered any questions I had.

One of our favorite vacation homes ever!

My partner and I are frequent travelers and often stay in vacation rentals. This has been one of our all time favorites! The house is fully equipped with everything you could possible need. We never needed the backup generator but the peace of mind having it there was great. It looks exactly like the pictures. We mapped the location straight from the VRBO app and had no issues getting there. The destination definitely requires a good car to get there and I would highly suggest a Jeep or other 4x4 vehicle. The views are unmatched, the privacy was just what we were looking for. Side note - the SWEETEST, non invasive, little dog visited us each day in the afternoon and we just loved having her around. She would only stay about 5-10 minutes for a short visit to say hello but we just loved her. You’re only a short 10 minute drive to Charlotte Amalie and we would 100% choose this spot over and over again!

Private Peaceful and Comfortable Cottage Review

Property is clean and has a beautiful view. Plan to rent a car, taxi will not bring you to this property. From the airport input Ali Baba Convenience Store in Google Maps, once you pass Ali Baba take the second street to the right. Very narrow and very steep. Follow the road until almost the end, just before the road drops off to the bay you will see a drive way to the lift that goes up steep, take that driveway and stay straight until it ends. I have a video of the driveway but there is no place to upload on the review. I would definitely stay here again

Quiet, relaxing getaway

After a 5 day stay at a busy resort, we wanted a quieter place with a beautiful view and this fit the bill nicely! The views of Magens Bay are amazing! The cottage is well maintained and has all your basic features. When we travel, we like to cook breakfast and lunch and optional dinner on site and everything was there to do so. We loved sitting on the deck and enjoying the view morning and evening, but make sure you take your bug spray! Owners were responsive to all our questions. We had also rented a Jeep for our stay and I feel you needed that to access the property. The driveway was steep and winding, which is typical on the islands. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Peaceful with a great view

This is the perfect property if you are looking for a relaxing stay. It is indeed private and peaceful with a great view. It is a bit remote and a vehicle is needed to get around. Very short drive to the beach. This property is a 1 bedroom with a futon in the living/dining area. We would stay again.

Clean place and Accurate description

We had a great experience here. The hosts, Mike and Danielle, were extremely helpful. Beautiful views. A real oasis. And they have Monopoly! Only one downside, not a lot of area to walk around immediately outside the property - if that's your thing. Would stay again.
