About this property

Villa Eau Claire - Magens Bay Affordable Beachfront Villa

Villa Eau Claire is a private gated affordable beachfront home directly situated on Magens Bay. Walk into the water at roughly half the price of any other waterfront home in the Virgin Islands. The property has 4 private individual villas each with breathtaking views of the bay. The Sea Turtle Villa 1 Bed/1 Bath unit located right on a stretch of secluded beach on the world-famous Magens Bay. This private St. Thomas vacation villa rental offers a world of natural beauty and serenity to discerning travelers. Nestled amid lush vibrant flowers and tropical trees with an enormous vista of shimmering bay waters right at your disposal, this is the perfect oasis for discovering the true meaning of a Caribbean paradise. In addition to the peaceful seclusion provided by the villa, guests will find the vibrant nightlife, charming boutiques, and fine dining restaurants of St. Thomas just a few minutes away from home. Whatever brings you to St. Thomas, once you stay with us you will join the many number of our guests who return and tell their friends and relatives, "Stay at Villa Eau Claire. It was extraordinary."
This villa measures 1,000 square feet and is situated at a small elevation just above the sandy beach, accessible via a short stairway. Inside a spacious living room has been comfortably furnished for leisurely afternoons spent indoors, and a kitchen has been well-equipped for your convenience. A wraparound deck runs the length of the unit, offering premier al fresco living/dining experiences – especially beautiful when the sun sets each night.
This villa has one bedroom that can comfortably accommodate 2 guests, an ideal oasis for a couple vacation to St. Thomas.
Villa Eau Claire has undergone recent renovations to the property. Freshly painted, beautiful new landscaping, outdoor lighting, and new decor make this villa relaxing and enjoyable. The villas are large and inviting and the bedrooms private and peaceful. Once you have experienced this idyllic location you will return year after year. The warm Caribbean breezes that gently blow through each villa make air conditioning unnecessary.
The sound of the waves below will lull you to sleep each night. We invite you to come relax on a secluded beach with friends/family and truly soak in the beauty of this very special property.

Great stay. Beautiful villa and property with stunning views. All needed amenities plus several extra conveniences from the large walk in closet to ample bathroom storage. Great communication from host including videos prior to check in for easy entry. The private beach access, sun decks and location away from resort and cruise crowds made this the perfect choice for us!

We stayed in three places on the USVI over two weeks and this was our favorite. We saw turtles and stingrays from our vista on the deck, snorkeled among the turtles, and enjoyed long and lazy beach days from the pocket beach. We paddled over to Magens Beach which was usually crowded and just emphasized how fortunate we were to have our own private access to sand and water. Great host. Clean. If we return to the USVI we'll stay here again.

This is an excellent vacation property, great location, great view and a warm inviting unit. The open floor plan gives you more than enough room relax and enjoy the leisure of a beech vacation. There is great access to a small beach and two good sized decks at the water’s edge. Magens bay is one of the largest bays on the island and a host to sea turtle, pelicans, sea gulls and other wildlife. We had a great time and Rick was an attentive, friendly and helpful host.

Perfect getaway!

The house is exactly as listed. The owner was very helpful with anything we needed. We saw more wildlife snorkeling right here than we did when we paid to go out on a chartered snorkeling trip. The house had several extra things that we didn't even know we needed until we go there (snorkeling gear, dry bag, beach chairs, and more) We would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect Location and Amazing Host

This was our first time in the US Virgin Islands, and it won’t be our last! Our son was getting married at a nearby venue, and we wanted to be close by (but not too close). The views and breezes off the large porch were a highlight, and it was easy to swim or snorkel to Magens Bay Beach. The location was convenient for everything we wanted to do on St. Thomas, the unit was exactly as pictured, and the host was responsive and very easy to communicate with. All of our expectations were met or exceeded!Wish we had been able to stay a few more days….

Slice of paradise

We loved staying at Villa Eu Claire on Magens bay! The pocket beach was great to access the water and we were most surprised to watch the pelicans, turtles and tarpon from the balcony every morning and throughout the day. The villa had everything we needed for our stay and even had a few beach towels and snorkels for us to use. It really was an idyllic spot to stay!

Views and blues in paradise

What a beautiful place to relax and just watch the amazing sea life below or swim looking out over all the perfect blues, and snorkel with turtles and pelicans diving in feet away. The villa is pristine with such an elegant coastal decor with great artwork. Very easy checkin. Lots of steps if you are mobility challenged be aware. Overall outstanding. Great communication with our host as well. Thank you for introducing us to St Thomas for two St John and BVI trippers We hope to return soon.

Anniversary Trip

We've stayed in St. Thomas three different times, this was by far our best stay. Probably one of the best views on the island as well as a private beach which is unheard of in St. Thomas. The owner was very hospitable and even gave my wife a paddle board lesson. We watched turtles from the balcony each night and the property was very spacious for a one bedroom. Would definitely stay there again.
