This home is over 1000 feet above sea level, but still just a few minutes from most of the island of Saint Thomas. The view is amazing. While the air conditioning was nice to have, the constant breeze and cool nights made it unnecessary for us. The property does have its little quirks (as any lived-in location does) but the excellent responsiveness of the host and the stunning 180 degree view of the entirety of Charlotte Amalie made this a winner for us.
[Also, I've heard that the tap water in many Saint Thomas locations leaves something to be desired. Not the case here. We drank lots of the water and every drop was good for us.]
