Gary you and your family were equally as amazing! Thank you for treating Magens Hideaway as your home and we hope you'll join us again for more adventures on the water with us too!
A wonderful 10 day stay in a classic Caribbean Villa.Well-appointed buildings, great pool and surround, and 200 degree views.All communications, check-in, check-out, pool service went well.Easy to get to, plenty of parking, and kitchen staples provided.All-in-all, I recommend this property for mid-size groups or families.

Grey you were a wonderful family to host!
Thank you for sharing your valuable time and vacation with us at Magens Hideaway and we hope to SEA you next time!
Property is amazing. Hope and staff were great throughout vacation. If you get a chance to book a yacht charter with Seas the Day, well worth it. Only small issue is “Heated Pool “ is not heated. Thanks for all!

Thank you for bringing your family to vacation at Magens Hideaway! You were a great family and we are so glad you enjoyed a day on the water with us as well.
I am working on getting a new pool heater to make it consistent throughout your stay.
We look forward to having you back soon!
We rented this house in St. Thomas, and it was absolutely perfect! The views were breathtaking, and the entire property exceeded our expectations. The home was well stocked with plenty of amenities, dishware, and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool was beautiful and warm – you truly don't need to leave the property to enjoy yourself. The concierge and host were extremely responsive to any questions, which made the experience even better. Our day was everything we hoped for and more, and we made incredible memories here. Highly recommend!

We appreciate the kind words and hope you'll join us again for more relaxation at Magens Hideaway. Next time you need to join us on a sailing catamaran!
Hope was warm, welcoming, & very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in their beautiful home. What you see in the photo's is what it is. Her husband came the same day we asked if the temperature of the pool could be dialed up a bit warmer & he brought us extra batteries incase any of the remote controls needed new.

Our host was very pleasant to work with and the manger was great as well. This place is absolutely beautiful and the views are amazing. We had 11 family members and the accommodation were perfect. In the evening we enjoyed playing games, talking and enjoying the ocean breeze it was best. Our grandkids enjoyed the pool most if all. Thank you Hope and Siti for making this a family vacation we will never forget!

We are so happy you and your family enjoyed Magens Hideaway! Evening games and patio sitting are some of our favorites and we are glad you enjoyed them as well. We hope to see you next time you think of vacationing in Paradise!
This was my second stay at Magen's Hideaway, both times with several family members. It's perfect for family gatherings with a large kitchen and multiple areas for everyone to hang out in. We all enjoyed the pool and fantastic views. There is privacy from the few neighboring homes. We also got a discount booking a charter to the BVI with the owner's other business; Seas the Day Charters which was fantastic.This is becoming a family tradition!

Amy, we are so glad you joined us again and that you enjoyed alll the great aspects of it. We love it when everyone just vibes in the kitchen; that's where the best memories (and stories) are made and told. We hope to SEA you again both on the water and back your very own home away from home.
We were a group of 7 ranging in age from 12-81. This was as family trip for us, first time in St. Thomas. The house is amazing! Loved how the kitchen and main area is set in the middle and bedrooms are spread out. The pool was wonderful and the views are amazing from every area. We cooked for most meals and the kitchen is very well equipped. We had groceries ordered ahead of time from The Market which Sati delivered for us. We noticed that a lot of our cold groceries were missing- as it was Easter Sunday we figured nothing would be open. They were open and were so apologetic about missing our cold groceries they delivered them that morning! Cost-u-Less and Moe's were also great for groceries. The beaches are beautiful-loved Magen's Beach which is so close to the house. Sapphire was beautiful as well. Would definitely recommend checking the cruise ship schedule as the beaches get crowded quickly. We soon learned to get to the beach by 9 and had no problems with getting chairs. Day trip to St. John was definitely worth it as well. Driving wasn't an issue for us, but can be a bit intimidating if you aren't used to driving on the left. Would definitely recommend Magen's Hideaway for anyone. Neighborhood was quiet and perfect for morning walks- lots of hills!! The only problem is that the house is so nice that it's hard to leave to explore the island!

Thank you for choosing Magens Hideaway to share your family vacation! You and your family were a delight and treated the villa as you would your own home and I couldn't be more thankful! We hope you'll join us another time in the future to make more memories, meals and joyful moments!
The property was AMAZING! We swam, played many games, listened to our playlist, relaxed, cooked on the grill, cooked most breakfasts and dinners there, read, and basked in the beauty of the spectacular views! The kitchen is well supplied with a huge variety of pots, pans, dishes, glassware, etc. (no cookie sheets, though)Beds were so comfy. Loads of beach towels, pool and beach toys, floats, and indoor games. And did I mention the views?!

We enjoyed your family during your visit at Magens Hideaway! We appreciate you taking such good care of the villa and I've ordered another six sheet pans for the kitchen! We look forward to welcoming you back for your next trip in Paradise!
We stayed at Magens Hideaway for our honeymoon, and it was a dream come true! The property is magnificent, but the VIEW beats everything. We will be back!!
WOW- what a place. My religion teaches me not to covet...but this makes me start to...
This place is paradise. Beautiful palm trees, world class views of Magens Bay and the Open ocean make this a one of a kind place to stay. We had 11 of us there for a Family reunion and it was absolutely PERFECT. I loved the gas grill for making food and the pool was perfectly heated. I could go on and on, but we will likely be back again someday!

Great for large groups! We housed 14 for a 40th Birthday Trip
Charming villa with breathtaking views. Host went above and beyond stocking the place for us. Fitting 14 was a bit of a challenge as most guests had to share rooms, but it worked!
The villa met all of our expectations and then some. We are already planning another trip back next year and hope to stay here again. Hope was so communicative and her villa manager, Alicia, was fantastic! I would recommend this place to anyone.

Our stay at Magen's Hideaway was spectacular. Our extended family of 13 stayed for a week and it felt like we had our own little resort perched atop the hills of St. Thomas. Everything on the property was ideally setup and we couldn't have asked for more. The property owner is very helpful and answered all of our questions thoughtfully and promptly.

Beautiful house, high end amenities. The views are to die for and it was always a light breeze. The pool was an oasis and bed comfortable. Perfect place for large groups, like ours, we were never cramped together, plenty of room.

Magen's Hideaway was just perfect for our girl's getaway. The villa's space was ideal, beautiful and very comfortable. We were a group of 11 women and there was more than enough room for us to gather as a group or to spread out if we desired. The views from everywhere on the property are just spectacular! The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. There was a constant beautiful breeze that drifted through the main living space with its open concept. I would definitely stay here again!

We had such a wonderful time with your group at the villa; what a lovely set of friends! I hope the bracelets were perfect for them too. Please join us again for your next getaway!
The villa is a beautiful home that easily accommodated our family of 13. The kitchen was spacious and we made several meals at the home without any difficulty. The open air living room was exotic and loved by the children. Tropical breezes kept the area cool, although sometimes was a little windy! We used the swimming pool daily, although it was a little deep for the younger ones. Overall, we had a wonderful stay!

We enjoyed your family at the villa and are so happy to hear you found the kitchen perfect for preparing meals for large groups! We are fortunate to have a nearly constant breeze across the villa and our swimming pool is 8' deep on the far end, both are unique amenities that are not seen in most villas on the island. We hope you'll join us again for your next vacation! Welcome to the family!
About the host
Hosted by Hope Stawski
As avid bareboat sailors and lovers of great food and wines, we welcome you to our home. We chose Magens Hideaway to host our family and friends in a wonderful atmosphere, great culinary adventures and warm hospitality. Our house reflects our passion and love of the Caribbean and is filled with joys and laughter that our friends leave for us, as memories. We hope you enjoy our house and will leave a few memories with us to share your joyful times.
Why they chose this property
We looked for the perfect house to share with our friends and family, as well as creating a home that our family for many generations to come will enjoy; our Legacy home. We filmed an episode on HGTV Caribbean Life. Those houses were stunning, but it wasn't "just right". When we found Magens Hideaway, we immediately knew this was our home.
What makes this property unique
The villa is beautifully laid out to maximize both personal and family time. The Rock Garden is such a unique feature, with natural fauna that mixes well with the giant rocks. The pool has a "mermaid chair" that slopes into the large pool which lead to naming the villa, Magens Hideaway. You'll be greeted by Magen, the original AcquaDiva, as you enter the villa through the large double doors. Welcome!
