Bungalows on the Bay the first row ocean front you cannot beat the view. Our bungalow was very dated but clean need to be remodeled toilet and kitchen area gutted and redone. Very comfortable bed (king) old sofe with cover no luggage racks to keep yours off the floor. Everything was in working order. Nice patio deck furniture. Beach towel provided was a nice touch. No hand soap for bath or kitchen. Nice pool but dated, needs to have all areas working over flow pools empt. Beach and acces

If you are looking for low key and laid back, this is the place for you! The bungalows need some work on the outside, but perfectly clean inside. The beach is nice and relaxing. Bartenders at their bar were all very nice. There’s also TD the dog and Sugar the cat (the bar cat, there are several up by the office.) One downside was that our safe wasn’t operable and they could not fix it. Also, while there was a coffeemaker, there were no filters or coffee which we had to buy. They are remodeling, so I expect our next stay will be even better! Its less than 15 min by car to Christiansted which has great shops and such si perfectly placed location too!

These bungalows need major renovations. Loved that it has a beach area, didn't use it, but the sunset was beautiful. Went to check the pool out needs reno. This would be a great place to stay but it needs lots of TLC

This property was perfect for my solo vacation. I really enjoyed staying here and would recommend it to others. The property is right on the water and you have plenty of beach to walk. If you are looking for time to yourself you are able to walk a small distance and feel like you are on a private beach. Be aware that some of the units are connected to others, I ended up in one of those and wasn't expecting to be stuck with neighbors sharing a wall. This was a problem for part of my stay as the people on the other side were very loud. It is more like a vacation rental than a hotel/motel, so you may want to bring things like handsoap and dish soap. Also the internet for the TV was very unreliable. None of the negatives outweighed the positives for me though. Overall, I really enjoyed staying here and would definitely come back.

Property is beautifully located with views calms water and the food truck with beach bar makes this place special. If you want to get away and chill-lax and enjoy that vibe this is the place. I am surprised the property hasn't been bought out by investors as it could use some upgrades and TLC. I did see an investment opportunity to invest into an individual bungalow which peaked my interest. Definitely coming again to enjoy this slice of paradise

The bungalow definitely needs updating and repairs. The small deck was falling apart, the blinds were dirty & didn't really keep the light out. The shower wall needed a good scrubing. The cooktops were rusted... However the pool & beach area were clean & having beach front was convenient. Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant within walking distance was also a plus.

More run down than pictures showed. Our bungalow did not have the amenities that were advertised. However staff were friendly and accommodating. One of the nicest beaches on the island. Quiet and laidback. It is what it is. We would definitely go back but don’t expect the Hilton or 5 stars.

Clean, quiet, relaxing but not luxury. Housekeeping only upon request. No restaurant as the website states, no breakfast, no coffee at the bar. Food truck only on site. Good bar, nice music. Beautiful beach. A nice place to go, but manage your expectations.

Tranquility at its finest. The rooms have been slightly updated. But its an old property. It has history and just takes the right kind of people to appreciate it. Staff were great all around. Beach was private and had seating available for those who wished to soak up the sun and sand. Onsite bar stayed lit. Nightly live music. Food was great as well. Bar attendant was heavy-handed for sure. Overall, I'd certainly return and highly recommend to others seeking to enjoy peace, quiet, potent drinks and natural beauty!

Great location! Nice beach! Fun music! Missing some typical hotel necessities like nice linens, toiletries, housekeeping services, and beach/pool chairs. The lack of food options was disappointing (just a food truck with limited, fried food and no fresh or healthy options). The bar was very nice and the bartenders were all lovely!! I don't think our room renovation was complete, as the bathroom lacked tile. Couldn't recommend for anyone who is picky or not used to Island quirkiness. For the price, it served its purpose. Loved the hotel dog!!!
