Paradise found

The perfect place for us to completely relax in a quiet almost secluded comfortable and quant mountainside house. The tropical setting created the the most tranquil atmosphere we’ve experienced in a very long time. Our host met us at the airport to lead us in our first experience of driving on the left side if of the serpentine roads of St. Thomas.

Amazing View & Impressive Home

Helen was very communicative and was helpful in finding the location. The house is exactly as pictured with large windows and amazing views. The pool and outside area was beautiful. There was a good amount of supplies in the house for cooking as well as beach time!

Great, Private place for Couples Alone Time

The owner Helen is the best. She met us (my future wife and I) at the airport to guide us to the hidden villa. Located on the quiet north end of the island. The villa is located on the end of an unpaved road The furnished covered veranda facing east overlooks Hull Bay. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals including a cabinet full of spices, vinegars and oils. The rest of the interior is well appointed though some of the furniture seem a bit worn. The entire house was clean. It was evident the house is well maintained. The pool area had lots of chairs and recliners. The pool was a good size and clean, its plaster could use a little bit love but it wasn't an issue for me. There was a fire pit behind the pool but you need to supply your own wood to use it. The house came with beach chairs, a cooler and more towels then you could ever use. There is a generator for power outages as well. In summary, Helen was an amazing host, the property is private, well maintained and well stocked. There is a grocery store across from the exit of the house's long dirt road which was convenient thou expensive. I would highly recommend this property. Helen created a hidden gem.

Beautiful island home

We’ve visited St Thomas about 20 times and this was definitely one of the best overall value places we’ve ever stayed in. We will definitely be back. Helen is very helpful and responsive. The house is absolutely beautiful. It’s maintained and kept well. The view, garden and pool are great. There are many thoughtful amenities and fun knick knacks. A note to consider, particularly if you’re not familiar with STT- the house is located in the Northside, which is lush and residential. If you’re planning to visit restaurants in Red Hook or Frenchtown for dinner or take the late ferry back from St John, you will be driving back on the narrow mountain road with some patches in the dark. We didn’t mind and drove a regular car (not a jeep/4WD) everywhere, including the monster trek to nearby Neltjeberg beach, but if you’re not a fan of driving on the left then this may be helpful to keep in mind. Also there is a brand new, slightly pricey but very well-stocked Moe’s market right across the street, which was super convenient. Enjoy!

Beautiful Northshore Home with Views

Check in was a breeze as property manager met us at the airport and we followed him to the house. You MUST have a car to stay at this house, preferably 4WD with high clearance. Very large, spacious rooms, well-equipped kitchen, plenty of towels including beach/pool towels. Having two outdoor patio areas, both shaded with dining tables was very nice. Wonderful view out over Hull Bay from back patio. Beautiful gardens and flowers. Very large pool with lots of lounge chairs. The home is older and could use some general maintenance and a thorough cleaning - and is a 10-15 minute drive to anything except the convenience store at the top of the driveway. Overall, a very pleasant stay, thank you Helen for sharing your family home!
