About this property

Romantic and Private located high upon St Peter Mountain

A cozy one bedroom apartment -Fenced and Gated, feels like a mini- estate, located on the cool, lush northside of St. Thomas, overlooking picturesque Magen's Bay ( one of the ten most beautiful beaches in the world)

You'll awaken and have breakfast on the deck with the Hummingbirds and Sugar birds having their sugar burst for the day. In the evening watch the last of the Hummingbirds while you have your wine and cheese before dining out or dining in a state of the art kitchen. You might not want to leave as it is so relaxing. Sleep with the tree frogs chirping the night away in the cool breeze.

The kitchen has all stainless steel appliances, Granitetop counters and everything you need to cook a gourmet meal if you desire. There is a gas grill and outdoor furniture for lounging on the deck while you grill your dinner and sip wine.

The livingroom has a couch and granite coffee table. Flat ScreenTV with DVD library and radio/cd player with a CD library. Very comfy room to relax morning, noon or night.

The bedroom has a queen size bed, lots of drawer and closet space in the bedroom. There are ceiling fans in every room to enhance our cool tropical breezes.

The view was absolutely amazing. Check in was easy. Our host was so welcoming. The only thing is the you are better with a small suv or a jeep to get up the hilll to the house. But the views and breeze is worth it. I would definitely stay again.

We had an excellent stay with two moons! Can not wait to go back! They have everything you need for a wonderful stay with them. This was not our first time in the island so we didn’t need a whole lot of information but if the island is new to you Cindie is your girl! She is very knowledgeable about all things St. Thomas! I hope we get to visits Two Moons again very soon!

Cindie and Jon were very welcoming host. You could not ask for more a scenic view. However, the location of the property is equivalent to rock climbing in a vehicle. It’s an extremely steep hill so you will definitely need an all-wheel-drive vehicle. The apartment is more suitable for an adventurous single person or couple. There is literally a wooden park bench with a cushion in the living area so you won’t be watching TV for long. It gets really damp throughout the night so much that the sheets and bed feel wet. Decor could definitely be updated.Cool place overall just needs some TLC !

St Thomas is a mountainous island and most of the roads in St Thomas are on an incline. The incline is not severe as most of the cars on this hill are a two wheel drive including my own car. What he calls a wooden park bench is actually a futon couch with a wooden frame. We live in a rain forest portion of the island and sometimes clouds will actually roll in the house. That is how it is in the tropics. The kitchen was remodeled 4 years ago, solid Mahogany cabinets. The travertine was replaced 4 years ago. The drapes , couch and curtains are custom made and replaced 4 years ago. Sounds like he doesn't like St Thomas.

We really enjoyed our recent stay at Two Moons Over Magens Bay in Feb 2026 for 8 nights. Our host Cindie was extremely accommodating, even providing transportation twice when we had a car rental issue. The apartment is the perfect size for two people, nestled high up St. Peter’s Mountain in a tropical forest. The first thing you notice is a huge patio over-looking the ocean. We were able to eat many breakfasts and dinners on the patio with the gorgeous view. Another special touch was the dozen eggs and English muffins and bottle of Cruzan Rum Cindie provided! Cindie also had butter, milk, coffee, and condiments available. The apartment has a fully-equipped kitchen, including a full size refrigerator. a living area with a futon couch, queen- size bed in the bedroom, walk-in shower, and a huge walk-in closet. The cooking and food-prep supplies were well-stocked. Perfect again for two people - secluded, gorgeous views, quiet and with the nighttime calls of the coqui tree frogs to serenade you to sleep every night this time of year. If you are a nature lover the sound was so very pleasant and fun! Other extra touches included a cooler, ice pack, beach chairs, snorkeling fins, and 4 large, thick beach towels. An interesting challenge was the steep, winding driveway up to the home. After 2 trips, we had it mastered. It would be important to know that the mountain roads are challenging in the dark, so we arrived home before dark. Thanks, Cindie, for everything!

Over the Moon for 2 Moons Over Magens Bay

My husband and I loved staying here. We wanted a nice place without a touristy resort vibe and this felt like we had a home in the US Virgin Islands. It was so thoughtful to have breakfast foods stocked so we could relax in the mornings. We also were grateful for the beach chairs. towels & cooler to use on our beach excursions. Cindie & Jon gave us advice on what to see & do and were readily available to answer questions. Loved meeting Petey& Lily!

Romance Relax Adventure

If you're looking for a getaway that combines stunning views, cozy vibes, and a warm, welcoming host, look no further. Tucked away in the heart of nature, this mountaintop destination is the perfect spot for anyone seeking peace, adventure, and breathtaking scenery. Four points to assist... 1. Make sure to upgrade to a Jeep 4x4. 2. Grab some groceries beforehand 3. Input Drake's Seat on GPS-the destination is a mile away 4. Enjoy the easy life!

Romantic mountain getaway

Lovely hosts thought of every amenity needed for a romantic and efficient getaway. Their beautiful mountain property had scenic views, tree-frog serenades, and island breezes. It was very special experience of St Thomas mountain top lifestyle. Accessing the last few hundred feet of the road leading to the unit is very doable but does require confident driving skills, so just take it slow and maybe use low gear and you will make it safely. Highly recommend. Enjoy your stay.

A Peaceful Caribbean Getaway

I had a wonderful solo stay at Two Moons—a peaceful escape with absolutely stunning views. The home is perched on a quiet hillside, offering panoramic ocean scenery that made every sunrise and sunset feel like a dream. The space was clean, airy, and thoughtfully decorated, with everything I needed for a comfortable stay.Cindie was a fantastic host—communicative, warm, and attentive without being intrusive. Her local recommendations were spot-on, and she made sure everything was smooth from check-in to check-out. The bed was comfortable, the linens fresh, and the overall vibe of the house was calm and relaxing.The kitchen was well-stocked for light cooking, and the layout made it easy to settle in and feel at home. My only issue was the coffee maker, which I found full of mold when I went to use it. It was a surprise given how clean the rest of the house was. Even with that small hiccup, my stay was incredibly positive. Two Moons is a perfect spot for anyone looking to relax, reflect, and soak in the natural beauty of St. Thomas. I’d absolutely stay here again.

Hidden paradise

Our stay was amazing. The apartment was perfect, clean, comfy, has everything you need to stay a few days or a few weeks. It is in the middle of the forest, and all you hear at night is the sounds of tropical nature. AC isn't needed with the natural breeze. It is cooler in the mountain than at the beach. We sleep with AC at home and we didn't miss it. Best sleep ever! Even though we were on top of the mountain, it takes a few minutes by car to go anywhere. Make sure to get a 4 wheels drive. It is such an adventure. Cindie and Jon are the best host and went out of their way to help us out. I am so thankful for them. We will definitely come back and stay with them in the future.

Lovely Spot -Thoughtful Attention to Guest Needs

Cindie was very kind and made it clear that if there was anything we needed to let her know, But her forethought made that unnecessary. We appreciated the amount of pre-stocked basics along with coffee, eggs, English muffins etc. The bottle of rum and some cokes was a nice touch. There were also many basics in the fridge. (Condiments etc) We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Beach chairs, towels and a cooler for beach outings (even some sunscreen) and beautiful breezes to enjoy upon our return up the mountain. The pictures don’t do justice to the lovely windows/screens that extend the full length of the rental, (beautifully maintained.) for constant enjoyment of the topical breezes and chirping of the coqi! And the deck was lovely. We enjoyed the creative touches throughout the apartment. The tropical landscaping was lovely too. The road up to rental was a challenge the first couple of times (not uncommon on St. Thomas) but was worth the effort!

View is extraordinary! Site worth every penny!

This property was everything that was represented in the pictures I reviewed on the VRBO site. While getting to the location is an adventure (roads are extremely uphill!), it was well worth it once we arrived. I would suggest an SUV as a must for staying (basically anywhere on STT), but this site needs a car that has a higher clearance due to the hills. We had to take our first car back and get an SUV. You can enjoy the sounds of owls, crickets and roosters at all hours of the day! There are hummingbirds and skinks and small salamanders all around the property. The view is spectacular, the patio overlooks Megan's Bay, and you can see Tortola and other islands in the distance as well. There is a Zipline place just below their property, and Mountaintop is a couple miles in the opposite direction from your stay. Mountaintop sets at an elevation of 1526 feet, and this site is not much below that! Mountaintop is great place to buy towels to take to the beach, as well as quality jewelry and other souvenirs--go here first to buy! Views and pictures are spectacular, although pics don't do it justice! Cindie & Jon were wonderful, we had great communication with them before and during our stay (we got lost coming to the site initially!) GPS worked well for us most of the time on both STT & St. John. We dropped a Pin at the site, so it was easier when we returned from our adventures. After the first couple of days, we had the route down and was able to turn GPS off sooner as we became familiar. Encourage you to take the car barge over to St. John at least one day--go to Trunk Bay! GO EARLY, the time flies while over on St.John, and the last ferry back leaves at 5:30. This last ferry is typically very full, so we left at 4:30 to avoid any delays/issues. Two of our favorite places to eat were Greengo's (they have locations on both STT & STJ, although STJ is slightly better) and Tickles Dockside Pub on STT. Take PLENTY of sunscreen, as it is hard to find on the islands! Cindie & Jon provided great scuba gear, chairs, floats & even a cooler if needed. The Cruzan Rum & Cokes they provide was a nice touch, as we needed a drink after getting lost coming to the site! :-) They have wifi & movies as well as Hulu if you're interested. We used Hulu one evening, otherwise we were out of the unit for the most part, only coming home in the evenings at bedtime. Great bonding time for me & my daughter!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We really enjoyed chatting with you after your days adventure.. Just to clarify. we don't have owls or crickets... What you hear at night are Tree Frogs chirping all night long. Many people mistake them for birds but they are little tiny frogs about 1-2 inches long and very vocal. So Glad you got the SUV and a brand new one at that. We hope you come back to see us again. So glad you had so much fun with your daughter. I could tell how close you are. So lucky that you have such a wonderful relationship. Thanks for staying with us.... See you soon....
