CHECK OUT THE VIEW! Fantastic Affordable Oceanfront Studio - Listen to the Waves
Brand new renovations, kitchen tile, appliances and WHISPER QUIET split unit AC just completed. Perfect location RIGHT on the ocean and convenient to everything. Check out my 2 bedroom unit also. Book both my units to accommodate parties up to 10 guests
Welcome to our FANTASTIC oceanfront studio condo at Watergate Villas, Bolongo Bay, St. Thomas. When it comes to your vacation, as they say in real estate, it's location, location, location! As you can see from our pictures, this unit's prime location is literally a coconut's throw away from the water. Take a look at the fabulous view from our patio. You will hear the waves every minute of every day.
You will love the convenience of our fully appointed kitchen if you like to make some of your own meals. All cooking utensils, dishware, glassware and appliances all NEW as of Feb 2022. If you have stayed in vacation condos before you will be IMPRESSED by the level of quality and detail we go to in making the unit feel like home. This unit also has the modern split unit air conditioning as opposed to the noisy wall units in many other properties. You will LOVE the difference!
The island has countless restaurant options just a short drive away, but there are also 3 convenient oceanfront restaurants that are a short walk down the beach. Mim's Seaside Bistro is located on the property and is more of an upscale dining experience open just for dinner. IGGIE'S beach bar is just a 200 yard walk down the beach and every night they are sure to please with various live entertainment. You will also find The Lobster Grill, a little further down at Bolongo Beach Resort. I personally love going there for breakfast always a table oceanside. Also located at the resort are a PADI certified dive shop, water sports rentals, spa services and daily catamaran tours. Bolongo Bay has fantastic snorkeling right here without having to travel anywhere.
The condo in total is roughly 550 square feet and has a great layout with an open floor plan, plus a full bathroom with upgraded shower head and great water pressure. . . The main living area and kitchen open up to the patio and fabulous view of both the mountains and ocean. On a calm day you can actually see fish and sea turtles right from your patio. Sitting on the patio listening to the waves just never gets old. Since the patio faces east, it gets shade by late morning, so it is ideal temperature all afternoon long.
The choices for nightlife on the island are many, but if you prefer staying in to rest for your next day, we have cable TV And a Large Smart TV with WI-FI access to all your favorite streaming movies on Netflix..
Our front door is convenient in proximity to the parking area and the laundry room is just a few steps from our door as well.
Our unit is one of the most nicely appointed studios you will find in all of the Caribbean. We take great pride on having top a quality mattress and premium linens, ensuring a great NIGHT of rest, for the best vacation DAYS. We provide beach towels, beach chairs, snorkel equipment, beach toys, coolers, Bluetooth radio and much more. Most everything has been just newly replaced so it is all in great condition.
The condo's location on the island is ideal. You will be less than a 15 minute drive from both of the primary towns on the island. Charlotte Amalie offers up a generous amount of culture with its abundance of historical buildings, shopping, restaurants and nightlife. Whatever it is you are looking for, you are sure to find it in Charlotte Amalie.
The lively yachting hub of Red Hook is just a 10 minute drive east. This quaint little town will make you want visit the island again and again. You will find both locals and tourists enjoying everything from a great cocktail to a café latte. Red Hook is also the best place to take the ferry to St. John and the British Virgin Islands, which are just FABULOUS!
I have so much more to tell you and would love the chance to speak more in depth about the many places I haven't mentioned. Please feel free to call me anytime, I am here to help you the best I can.

About the host
Hosted by Mike Holzberger

We are the Holzberger family from Milwaukee WI. We have been traveling to the Caribbean for over 30 years and have seen it all. We were thrilled to be able to purchase this condo in 2017 after having purchased our first one in 2016 (2 bedroom unit at the same property) We are excited to share our island knowledge with you. We are even more excited to have a place to escape the cold Wisconsin winters. The US Virgin Islands are the islands to be on with the comforts of home yet all the uniqueness of a tropical island!!! We know what to do and where to go from the USVI to the BVI and want to share our knowledge with you to make your vacation better. We are never too busy to take your call and help you plan the perfect day trip, beach excursion or dinner out on the island. Your satisfaction as our guest is our NUMBER ONE goal!
Why they chose this property
Location Location Location.....This property's perfect south shore location has the privacy of being off the main road, but is still close to everything. Drive 12 minutes west and you are in Charlotte Amalie, the island's main town, rich in history and unique historical buildings as well as the shopping mecca of the Caribbean. Drive 10 minutes east and you are in Red Hook, St Thomas' yachting hub and departure point for the ferries to St John and the BVI. Drive 8 minutes north to the Tutu Mall area and you have all the conveniences of home...Walgreens, Home Depot, Kmart, grocery stores, banks and much much more!
What makes this property unique
This property's unique proximity to the water is what makes it special. This property is one of the closest to the water anywhere in the Caribbean. There are not many rental condos that you can HEAR the ocean waves from your living room....You will here! Your patio is so close to the ocean you can throw a full size coconut and hit the water. I have done it! And with our southeast facing shaded patio you will want to hang out and listen to the waves all afternoon. We just completed many upgrades in Feb 2022 including new bedding with premium sheets and mattress, new paint, new appliances and all kitchen tile. BRAND new top quality AC unit, and new shower head with great water pressure.
