Excellent and beautiful house. Had 10 in our party. The great room accommodated all of us. Enjoyed the outside amenities - pool, access to beach and kayaking, outdoor space. Well equipped kitchen. The provisions provided were really appreciated. The owners were easy to work with and responded quickly to any questions. The week was incredible and would stay there again.

Paradise was found

This was the perfect VRBO rental. The host Lena and Bob where there for us with any questions we had prior and during the trip. They made me feel so comfortable with understanding what to expect as well as greeting us with supplies that made me feel like I was walking into my own home. The only difference is that this home is so beautiful that my jaw just dropped at every turn. Once you walk through the front doors, your eyes are drawn to the beautiful views of the bay and crystal clear water. We just sat down and starred for an hour before we even thought about moving our bags into our room to unpack. Not to mention the ice cold beer that was in the fridge waiting for us didnt hurt while we sat and enjoyed the scenery. The rooms were all spacious and beautiful with even better views. Deck sitting is a must with multiple levels to choose from with comfortable sitting set ups. And I have not even talked about the pool and beach access yet. The pool is a perfect place to relax and socialize while others in the party may go grab a kayak or snorkel gear and play in the bay. Tons of bright and vibrant colored fish as soon as you dipped your head in that bay. We hired a driver for the week due to the number of people in our group and it worked out perfectly. This location is truly paradise and I thank Lena and Bob for opening their doors and allowing us to experience Paradise Found.

Amazing home! The setup of the house was perfect for our group of 8 and the owner is fabulous! Beautiful view from all outside areas. You can access the ocean from the steps and kayaking was great, but just note that entry will be difficult for those that are elderly or have any mobility issues. We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing stay at this beautiful Magens Bay home

We had everything we needed for an unforgettable 9-day stay! The views from the home are absolutely incredible—waking up to Magens Bay each morning was a dream. Having direct access to snorkel and kayak right from the property made the experience even more special. The house was well-equipped, comfortable, and perfectly located. Communication with the owners was excellent—friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout. Highly recommend this slice of paradise!

Vacation spot of a lifetime

Paradise Found was just that.... pure paradise! The house was so beautiful, but the views were absolutely breathtaking! Everything was clean, well stocked, and the groceries provided by the owners was such a blessing! It was so nice to get to paradise after a long day of travel, and not have to run right out and find a grocery. We spent hours in the pool, snorkeled and used the paddle board and kayaks daily. The family meals on the large veranda made memories to last a lifetime!

Extended Family Getaway

We had multiple families staying together for an extended family trip (14 ppl total). This property was perfect for us! So many spaces for gathering or relaxing (separately or together). The pool was fantastic and the views were breathtaking. It is a bit of a drive out to the property but well worth it and you get used to the roads pretty quickly. We would recommend renting a car during your stay. Lena and Bob were fantastic. Excellent communication and super responsive on any questions. I highly recommend this house for your visit to St. Thomas!

Unbelievable views from every angle

Our family of 12 stayed here for our annual Xmas vacation. We had plenty of space on the three different levels to spread out and not feel cramped. Views are to die for! Listening to the ocean as we ate every meal out on the extra large table under the covered porch was amazing! The pool was perfect with its bench for the older generations to sit while the teens played in the deeper area. The house comes with a ton of stuff to make things easier like food essentials spices, condiments, etc. the owners give you a good amount of food to start you out so you don’t have to go immediately to the store. The ac worked fine. We had my parents who are in their 80s stay with us which i don’t think was such a great idea. The steps are a bit too much for them to get down to the pool area. The house is great nothing bad to say about it. The neighborhood it’s in is very remote though. You need a car to get anywhere which we had rented a car. If you don’t rent a car it’s expensive to get taxis all the time. Getting out of the gated neighborhood was a bit scary because it’s on a hill and you have to stop the car to enter in a code To open the gate which then requires you to punch the gas once the gate is open to get up the steep hill. We had a fantastic time!

The views were awesome. It was a little further out from other properties we have stayed at in the past. This made planning other activities difficult. It took roughly 30 minutes to get back to the property from anywhere on the island. The property was well stocked and what a nice surprise to have so many groceries available to us the night we arrived. My only complaint wo uld be is that the whole property could use a good deep cleanning, Floors were very dirty as well has showers floors, h

Great stay!

We had the best time during our stay at Paradise Found! The views are unmatched and you really cannot find this anywhere else. The roads up to Peterborg are pretty narrow and winding, but we managed. I loved being so close to Magen's, which really didn't even compare to the other beaches on the island. It is so beautiful and calm and only an 8 minute drive. We would definitely stay again!

This property is incredible. If you stay here don't waste your time booking charters or excursions. It is absolutely beautiful. The snorkeling is some of the best I've seen. You can catch grouper and snapper 100 yards from shore. And the views are amazing. The house is laid out to provide endless spaces to congregate or be by yourself. Lena is great and so helpful. It was a wonderful vacation!

Amazing family gathering place

Paradise Found is a fantastic place to stay. Our family of 14 gathered there for a week’s vacation and will have a very hard time finding better in the future. The owners do a wonderful job caring for the place, between the initial bundle of food (such a nice treat), to having all of the amenities one could imagine. The pool was spectacular, overlooking the water. While people were snorkeling, the young and old were able relax in the pool and watch the activity in the ocean. Plenty of pool toys, as well as ocean toys (paddle board, kayaks, snorkel gear). The snorkeling was simply amazing. We saw plenty of fish (all different colors), and eel, octopus, sting rays, and turtles. We went and snorkeled on St John, as well as other locations around St Thomas, and we all agreed that the best snorkeling was right at the house. The diving pelicans were a hoot to watch as well! On the morning that we were leaving we even had a goat visit, scampering along the rocks. The house is well thought out, plenty of balcony space for everyone with gorgeous views both day and night. The kitchen has plenty of dishes and pots and pans, we cooked our dinner every night. Plenty of towels for bathing and beach going, as well as beach chairs for when someone wants to go and sit on the beach (although we honestly found the best beach time was at the house!) Bob and Lena were great to work with, so helpful and friendly! Would definitely consider coming back!!

We have been planning this trip for a year and it did not disappoint. The description and pictures are so spot-on and it's even better in-person. The views, wow! Lena was extremely responsive and helpful in so many ways. And she and Bob were so generous with the provisions that they shopped for in advance of our stay. Not having to go to the store right away was a huge blessing. There is not a thing that I can think of that needed to be improved on. We hope to come back there again!

The host & owner Lena was great with texting me back and was great. We really enjoyed the views, being close to the Magens Bay water and hearing the waves roll in from the decks and pool. I really looked forward to kayak and snorkel but unfortunately wasn't able to but it would be a great spot to do so! The master bedroom upstairs was the perfect spot to sit in peace watching the birds, boats, and waves. Directly across the street you can see the Atlantic and it's islands and coastline.

We found it to be well stocked to meet our everyday expectations but were even more please that the hosts and provisions us with enough food to get through a couple of days before shopping, including an assortment of libations with which to celebrate our arrival. Checking in and out was seamless, and although we did not need any assistance from the host, we were comfortable that it would have been readily available.
