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, 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. Keywords: villa, home, casa

Our family of four had a wonderful stay at Magical Caribbean Gateway to Unwind and Relax for 6 days. The view was the absolute highlight — stunning and relaxing, with the house close to the bay and just a short distance from Utter Delights milkshakes. The bedrooms were comfortably air-conditioned, which was perfect for cooling down at night. Overall, the house and all the amenities were clean, well-maintained, and met our needs with no complaints.I would highly recommend this property for families of 4 or 5. It’s a great spot to unwind!
Robert , was fantastic he met us at the airport , showed us to a local grocery store , where we picked up a few items for the first night or so , then we followed him to the house. He also assisted us for a few items during the week The view was spectacular and the pool and home was perfect for our needs
This was a wonderful place to stay and one of the best views of Megan’s Bay. Rob was great to work with and super helpful. Can’t wait to come back and stay.
A beautiful home high on the mountain with absolutely stunning views that we enjoyed from the patio with an impressive infinity pool. Beautiful landscaping around the house with attention to detail. Rob met us at the airport and was very helpful and accommodating. Parking was just a little tricky but far easier than described in some of the reviews. Overall, a great house and enjoyable stay. There were a few imperfections though that prevent me from giving it the highest rating - including the functionality of the dishwasher and sofa bed - I will share the details with the host separately as I believe they can be easily fixed.
The house was very cute and well equipped. The deck and pool/outdoor area was the highlight of the house!! The views are amazing and you wont wan to leave them! The road up to the house is a bit of a challenge. Its steep and narrow and requires a bit of nerve to drive. But the pool made up for the challenging road to get there!
The entire house is magical. We stayed here for our honeymoon, and I wouldn’t change a single thing! The view is amazing, and unlike anywhere I’ve ever been before. I loved watching the iguanas in the trees right from the pool or balcony. We had the best time at High Blue Heaven. The house was clean, and has everything you need. Rob (property manager) was awesome and available to help us if needed. Go stay here! You won’t regret it.
The view and the pool are amazing. The house is spacious and open. We could have had a wonderful time if we never left the house, which is a statement that we could never make for any other vacation home that we have stayed in. We had all three meals every day on the deck and lounged there every evening.
Beautiful home with a beautiful view! Thankful for air conditioning in the bedrooms! Great communication from the owners!The property manager was awesome to work with as well! Highly recommend this little piece of heaven!
This property is a great place to stay for either a couple, or a family. It is as described in the listing. It is clean, and has beautiful views of Megan's Bay. I would stay here again and again!!
Amazing views, relaxing environment and beautiful pool. Once you get the driving down it’s a breeze! Close to everything. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend my granddaughters graduation (gift)!
The property is everything it states it is! Absolutely loved the pool and the view, as well as the comfortable beds and linens. Thank you for a great time!
We really enjoyed our stay. Incredible view. Comfortable accommodations. The hosts were very friendly and provided great instruction making the stay easy and convenient. Would definitely stay again.
This is a wonderful home, in a great location, with an AMAZING view!! We would definitely stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Andrey & Irina Drachenko
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!
