Gorgeous, Spa-like 3BR with Island Elegance & Stunning Ocean Views
Enjoy breathtaking ocean views from the ridgeline of St Thomas, USVI…floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors opening onto balconies with sheer white curtains floating in the breezes. Sink into relaxation in an elegant blend of island, traditional and contemporary ambience tucked away on a private drive in a secluded locale at the top of a cliff. Sip coffee and mimosas as you watch sailboats pass below from the balcony...visit any of our 20+ beaches (3 beaches under 5 minutes from Clifftop), dine out at 16+ restaurants within 1-2 miles...or take advantage of nearby grocers and your fully stocked kitchen (pots/pans, dishes, handblown crystal wine glasses, spices, condiments). Relax in balmy island breezes, or turn on the climate-controlled AC in every room as you enjoy 180-degree ocean views from the balconies and glass walls spanning the ocean-facing side.
In-home pampering options can be arranged: for an additional fee, from midweek cleaning or car and driver service, to in-house catered meals and indulgent afternoons of in-home spa treatments.
Stay in touch with high-speed wifi and a flatscreen web-enabled SmartTV ready for your Netflix password (or we can provide a complimentary Amazon Prime password). An outside washer/dryer laundry nook often offers a fresh breeze even doing laundry (detergent & dryer sheets provided). You're likely to see parrots, iguanas, geckos, and hear the island’s local tree frogs at dusk. Save time and money with Clifftop's dive-quality snorkel gear, beach towels, beach toys, reef-safe sunblock, and more. Indoor games, books, and postcards for lazy days. Plus conveniences: soaps, shampoos, scented lotions, pedicure tools (bring your own polish!), eye masks, phone chargers, etc.
Clifftop Villa is a 5-minute drive from 3 palm-studded beaches in your rental car (note that a rental car or my recommended car-and-driver is required for Clifftop Villa: our island taxis do not like to go off the main roads).
All 3 bedrooms have queen platform beds and Cool-Gel memory foam mattresses. The light & airy master has an ensuite bath, and both get a flood of golden sunlight in the late afternoon (you’ll think you left the lights on ;-) with an ocean view from one side.
The elegant central bedroom stays dim all day with deep floor-length curtains, perfect for those who like to sleep in or get in lots of naps.
The front sunny bedroom has 4 windows, golden curtains, balmy breezes and a side ocean view over the side porch/balcony. It shares a bath with the middle room.
Clifftop Villa is located on a private drive, in a secluded area with driveway parking for your rental car. There is sometimes a renter in a separate downstairs apartment — separate driveway, separate entrance — to answer questions or help out. The outdoor laundry alcove/supplies are shared with the downstairs apartment.
Your nice quiet pet is welcome to visit with you, too, with prior approval and a pet deposit.
While it’s just .75 miles above the main road, Clifftop is in a quiet, remote-feeling area; our neighbors enjoy their peace and quiet, so Clifftop is not suited for parties, loud music, or late gatherings on the balcony (or late-night drives home from clubs!).
Of course, there is free Wi-Fi, parking, and AC. Getting Around: Again, a car is required, as the house is high above the bustle of the main road and off St Thomas's "safari bus route" (driveway parking). There are many rentals on island, but do confirm in advance, as car rentals are often on Caribbean time too! If you don’t want to drive, I can connect you to a car and driver (must arrange in advance). Most taxis do not like to go off the main roads and our bigger "safari" taxis simply can't fit!

Great view, you can't beat having such a wonderful almost 180 view. Home was designed well to provide an incredible view. Air conditioning provided (main living room and one bedroom), couldn't get two bedrooms to work, but the home was still cool. Parking available.
This place is truly beautiful with a stunning ocean view! It is super close to most of the main tourist spots in the USVI, which made getting around very easy. There were a few planned electricity outages, but they were very manageable and didn't bother us. Barb is a great host who is highly responsive and helpful with any concerns you might have. Overall, our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
A wonderful place to stay! Quiet, beautiful view, clean, all of what we needed and some! Barb is a great hostess, very responsive! Thanks again for a stellar stay!😍😍😍😍😎😍

Beverly, it is always such a pleasure having you and your guests to stay at Clifftop — Y’all are a joy to host!
Barb's place is amazing and I will definitely come back in the future. Very spacious with everything you need and more (she even had extra little supplies and water which came in handy as we arrived later in the day after a rainstorm). Barb has definitely thought of everything to make you feel at home - she even had a REAL Christmas tree all lit up in the house while we were there! House is very comfortable, quiet and clean. View is spectacular so my only regret is we were so busy we weren't at the house much during the daylight hours. Barb left us great directions to the house which boosted our confidence in google maps but if you just find "clifftop villa" on your map the directions were spot on. Roads are no joke as you have to go up pretty steep roads to get the great view so I would definitely rent a jeep or 4x4 with good clearance. After a few trips up we got used to it and it wasn't very hard.
Great stay. Barb went over and above to help us when St. Thomas ran out of rental cars. Highly recommend the property :-)

Teresa, you and your family were terrific! I’m so glad you enjoyed the diving & we were able to get your groceries & dropoffs all taken care of…and you and your mom really are charmers!
Great place to stay, very comfortable and host Barb provides all the small touch conveniences. It had everything we needed including all the beach gear and kitchen essentials. The house has a wall of windows that provide an amazing view of the water! It is also conveniently located to both Charlotte Amelie and Red Hook. Would highly recommend!
EVERYTHING was phenomenal! Barb is an amazing host who makes sure the littlest detail is attended to. For example, before our arrival she made sure to point out that Apple maps is better for exact directions to the apartment and she suggested car rental agencies. When we walked in, we were greeted by a real pine Xmas tree with seashell ornaments!! There were various games (jenga, checkers, chess, cards) and books a plenty! Everything you need for a day at the beach was readily available (towels, snorkeling gear, sunscreen, aloe gel), and there was even flour in the frig if you felt so inclined to bake during your stay. The bathroom was fully stocked with towels, shampoo, soap, even a back scratcher! There were charging cords if you forgot yours and the kitchen had all your everyday items and then some. There were even things available in case of island emergencies - drinking water and lanterns. It felt like we were home! The home is tastefully decorated and Barb provides a binder full of detailed directions for nearby shopping, restaurants and activities. She's also extremely quick to respond to any text you send her. We will definitely be staying here again on our next visit to St. Thomas!

Theresa, I absolutely loved having you and your family to stay! I hope you come back again and again! Barb :-)
Clifftop was amazing! Our stay there was comfortable and relaxing. The view and sunrise from the balcony was breathtaking. Barb was friendly, patient and very helpful during our stay. We would definitely book this vacation rental again.
The only downside was the drive up the mountain to the location other than that it was absolutely perfect. The owner was more than accommodating and an absolute pleasure to work with. The pictures do not do this place justice at all.
This lovely home is nestled into the hillside with beautiful views along with all the sunshine and Caribbean breezes one could ask for. It was perfect for our stay-cation, a very comfortable place to work from home as well a spectacular vacation home with all the amenities.

Rick, you guys were terrific, and the neighbor loves you too! I’m glad you had some great work from home away from home time!! Come back anytime :-)
We all (5 adults) had a very relaxing stay. The house was decorated very tastefully for Christmas and was enjoyed by all. All the amenities were there, plenty of paper products, comfortable beds. We cooked a couple of meals there but mostly went out for meals. The view was spectacular. Thank you Barb for a great vacation!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful amazing gorgeous views. Barb was very responsive. Be sure to follow the directions Barb sends closely! We went too far and it was interesting turning around!
This is a lovely property. Beautiful, peaceful and views are fantastic.
Barb takes care of what you need. Very helpful.
I loved my time there would definitely return.

Mary is a *wonderful* guest! I loved having her & look forward to her possible return any time! She & her group were so appreciative of the property, the views, the atmosphere, & extremely thoughtful guests. Highly recommend her to anyone.
Absolutely spectacular home with a scenic view. The house is well-stocked, and has extremely comfortable bedding and furniture. The Christmas decor was incredible, and made the rental house a home. Barb is very responsive and focused on the details (from instructions on arrival to home accessories). Be sure to rent a car with four-wheel drive to access this home. We look forward to staying at this home again.

Barb's house was absolutely incredible!!! The views were amazing, the house was spotless, and she had everything I could have needed at the house. Also, Barb helped arrange transportation and was able to provide us with all the information about the island we needed. Absolutely would go back!

Liv & her group were terrific & awesome & I would recommend them to anyone!
Lovely well appointed and decorated rental property. Barb was an attentive and very accommodating host. I absolutely loved being able to sit on the veranda every morning before I started my day. I already miss the space.
Stayed here with our daughters, their partners and our 15 month old grandson plus our westie dog. Perfect place, nicely appointed, a little tricky to find in the dark. Nice quiet neighborhood with amazing views from the patio - you can see St Croix on a clear day. Would happily stay here again. Thanks Barb!!!

Thanks Barb.We enjoyed our stay very much!(Except for the roads, ye gods!)We came back to a temperature of zero (F) and 10 inches of snow!Canada, eh?

About the host
Hosted by Barb
A perpetual traveler (kayaker, paddleboarder, surfer, skier, snowboarder, rock & mountain climber), I love to see new places, and to share my favorite spots! The Virgin Islands are a special place, and all the more so after the hurricanes — you are helping us rebuild our island just by choosing to visit, and I am excited for you to experience Clifftop Villa firsthand!
Why they chose this property
Such gorgeous views, soothing, spa-like atmosphere. Because it’s so high up, it’s so safe, windblown, socially distanced, removed from the bustle, while still less than a mile from the main road. When I lived here, I never locked the door — in fact it was blocked open for 4 years with a handmade planter holding a local lemon tree!
What makes this property unique
Stunning water views, floor-to-ceiling windows, balcony, lovely breezes, and gracious living, five minutes from beaches and minutes from shops and ecotours — What more could you ask? ;-)
