About this property

Magical Caribbean Gateway to Unwind and Relax

BREATHTAKING ISLAND AND OCEAN VIEWS FROM EVERY ROOM!
Imagine a tropical villa with sunrise and sunset views over a turquoise ocean…. that you see from every room in the house! Even long-time islanders are astonished by the beauty of the 220-degree view from our home, High Blue Heaven!

Why stay at a hotel or condo development where you’ll share a crowded pool? At High Blue Heaven, you’ll enjoy the best location on St. Thomas on the breezy, green North Side close to beautiful beaches, delightful restaurants and the ferry to St. John (Virgin Islands National Park)… but quiet, private and high above the ocean so you can enjoy the view without the sand flies. And you will enjoy your own very private pool!

As you enter High Blue Heaven, your eyes will be drawn out over the edge of the pool on the deck to Magen’s Bay, Hans Lollik Island and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. The main floor includes one of two master bedroom suites with full bathroom, the Great Room with living room area (queen sleeper sofa), dining area, kitchen, laundry room and a powder room. Up the mahogany staircase, a second master bedroom features a four-poster bed, full bathroom, walk-in closet and a second deck.

Our house is decorated in a casually comfortable Caribbean style with tile floors throughout and bright colors flooded with light: it’s a place where you can feel at home and relax into island living. From the spacious deck, enjoy a meal…or a swim in the pool while watching the lights flicker on Jost Van Dyke. The kitchen is equipped with everything you’ll need to craft a romantic dinner. Or sample half a dozen terrific restaurants within minutes of the house.

You’ll enjoy the prevailing trade winds that keep High Blue Heaven cool and comfortable. Our house is West Indian style, meaning that every room has a ceiling fan. Each bedroom also offers its own self-controlled air conditioning system, as well as television, DVD player, and outdoor deck or balcony with gorgeous ocean views. Wi-Fi is free throughout the house.

Ideally and centrally situated on the breezy north side of the island, High Blue Heaven is seven minutes from swimming and water sports at Magens Bay, one of the ten most beautiful beaches in the world (National Geographic).

Coral World Marine Park and Charlotte Amalie with duty-free shopping are just ten minutes from us, as are Red Hook (catch the ferry to St. John) and East End restaurants.

We want to make your visit an unforgettable experience. We have loved and enjoyed the U.S. Virgin Islands for many years and have numerous recommendations to share, from the best places to swim and snorkel to the restaurants that the guidebooks don’t tell you about. We chose our house because of its breeze-friendly design, fabulous view and Caribbean charm, and we want to share that with you.

Because we know that you’ve come to relax, our property manager, Katie, will meet you at the airport, escort you to the car rental service and help you get your rental car. Then, she will ensure that you arrive at our house and are fully briefed on everything you need to know.

Your house rental includes:
-Complimentary beach chairs, beach towels and cooler
-High-quality bedding and bathroom towels, bathroom amenities

Our home features living all on one level if you prefer (second bedroom upstairs). If you don't like climbing stairs, this is the place for you.

DEAR GUESTS: PLEASE BE AWARE -- WE NOT ONLY PROHIBIT SMOKING INSIDE THE HOUSE - WE ALSO PROHIBIT IT ON THE DECKS OUTSIDE THAT FACE THE VIEW. SMOKING IS PERMITTED ONLY ON A CORNER OF OUR DRIVEWAY, WITH NO VIEW. PLEASE CONSIDER RENTING ELSEWHERE IF YOU OR MEMBERS OF YOUR GROUP SMOKE.

WOW!
This place was absolutely amazing. We would have rated it 10 stars if that was an option. Rob and Katie were great to work with and owners quickly responded to any questions I had beforehand. We were in the pool as soon as we got back each day. Toured St Thomas, St John and Water Island. Definitely rent a Jeep as they aren’t kidding about the roads! This made our 30th anniversary one for the record books!

Beautiful!
This place is absolutely beautiful! The view is amazing and we spent a lot of time just sitting by the pool and looking at the view. You wake up to pretty sunrises and sunsets over the water. The house is really pretty too! I would come back!

A perfect stay with incredible views.
The house met our every expectation and need, and the view was difficult to take our eyes away from! The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, and condiments in the fridge. You will need to bring/purchase your own laundry detergent though. The bed was very comfortable, probably the most comfortable of any 'vrbo' we have rented. The house was also in a perfect location; shopping, beaches, restaurants, grocery stores are all conveniently a short drive away. We would absolutely stay here again, and highly recommend it!

About the host

Hosted by Andrey & Irina Drachenko

Host profile image
Our history with St. Thomas dates back to 2012 when we first stayed at High Blue Heaven. Over the years we visited many Caribbean islands looking for “the perfect” place. Needless to say, each one of them offers something special and unique and so, we kept on going to discover new destinations. Our first trip to High Blue Heaven changed it all. There was just something about it that made us to come back a year later. Our third trip sealed the fate and when the opportunity presented itself we decided to return for good. The Caribbean islands are a gold mine of beauty and adventure and our love to explore its sparkling turquoise waters, powdery soft secluded beaches and the vibrant West Indian culture never lessened, but we found home.

Why they chose this property

We chose our house because of its breeze-friendly design and location, fabulous views and Caribbean charm. Over several visits as guests and now owning it, we have only fallen more in love with its spectacular location and homely satisfying ambiance.

What makes this property unique

You came for the view and the ocean...and at High Blue Heaven, you'll never stop gazing at it. But that's not all. High Blue Heaven offers one-third acre of flowering tropical plants and fruit trees: papaya, mango, avocado, and coconut grow on the grounds. Enjoy bird-watching from the decks, including hummingbirds, banana-quits, green parakeets, and red-tailed hawks. You may even glimpse our resident iguanas!
