We had a great stay. The property is exactly as described.It's right in downtown and even though there is no parking, it's easy to find on the streets. The hosts were very friendly, and, as they live nearby, they are available for any questions and recommendations one may have.

It was like being a local. Great location, not a resort experience and that's what made it so much fun. Very walkable. We like to get the real flavor of the places we travel to and this did not disappoint. By the time we left we felt like neighbors not tourists.

Very clean and cute little place, great value for the money. Walking distance to the harbor area restaurants and stores. My only complaints are about the lack of transportation/infrastructure and sort of general noise/nonsense in the surrounding neighborhood if people aren't prepared for that. All of the locals turned out to be cool but at first glance reminded me of Welcome to Jamrock

Unexplained

Not at all what we we're expecting, in a bad part of St Thomas, not a lock on the door for security except for a keypad lock that other people had a code for.. Not recommend

Response from VrboOwner on 26 June 2023
We’re sorry you feel that way. As advertised, this property is in the heart of downtown St. Thomas. There are hotels and villas neighboring this property, one of the best private schools on the island is a few blocks away, and some of the most expensive shopping on island is a few streets over. Our neighborhood is an authentic, safe, family-oriented neighborhood with a primarily local population. Finally, this property is gated and the door to the unit is secured with a keypad lock, as you mentioned, to which only the manager and cleaner has access, as is standard with any hotel or rental property. We also routinely recode the lock. Please do not visit St. Thomas again if you feel uncomfortable around locals or do not want the authentic experience we advertised.
