We have basic Internet for email and some steaming of your subscriptions such as Netflix, Amazon prime, CBS, NBC, etc. We hope for cable and phone restoration by early summer but have already adjusted our rates based on this missing amenity.

No beach. all rocks. The unit itself Was definitely not up to what I'm used to in. Microwave was wobbling, the coffee Maker wasn't good. The stove was all crooked cabinets were hanging off. Couldn't open drawers in the dresser rusty. I didn't get to see most of the things that I wanted to see because I couldn't get around. I thought i could get taxis to travel. Not true. I would rent a car for sure even though i don't like driving there. Mims restaurant was good right outside my door. Iggis Restaurant in bolongo was good After leaving i found out alot of things i do different. Including staying somewhere nicer and that has an actual beach. I got locked out of my place because the code wouldn't work About an hour. I called the owner of the unit. Then it worked again

Great studio and we loved the location.
Location is about half way between Red Hook and Charlotte Amalie so it was great for seeing other parts of the island. I recommend renting a car for this location unless you just want to stay at the resort for your stay—which you could, if you must want to relax and stay put. The studio was good sized and clean. Bed was comfy, AC was an older unit but worked well. WiFi worked fine for us. Property was pretty quiet with beautiful views. A few issues for us were the slider is heavy and the runners were needing some repair to be able to open and close smoothly, the deadbolt on the door was broken, although we felt safe. The kitchen is not well stocked. There were not even hot pads to use with the oven. The dvd player advertised was not there. If you don’t care for the iguanas to come on your patio you’d want to stay on a higher floor. Ground level they will come up to you and even climbed on our table. Also, there are breezes that come up occasionally that carry the smell of the dump across the bay. It’s not a super strong smell but you can smell it, especially if you’re sensitive to strong odors. Food: groceries are very expensive (even local caught fish) so bring a few spices and favorites from home if you can. Cost U Less was best price for groceries by far but was a ways away. Igge’s at Bolongo Bay was good- we went back twice. Mim’s right in front of the patio is good but very expensive. The best seafood we had was at Caribbean Fish Market. All in All we’d go back.

Wasn't expecting that Iggys was moved...and dive shop closed. Beachfront no longer there. Our condo was great inside but the property is looking a bit worn. Check in and communication was terrific. Comfortable bed, good shower, good AC.

This property is amazing!! So much more than we expected. The views alone are worth booking! You’re 10 steps from the pool, 10 steps from Mims seaside bistro. Wake up to beautiful sunrises over the ocean. We will book this condo every time it’s available!

perfect size little studio for our get away!
We had a lovely week staying here! My husband is a Viet Nam Vet with a few issues that make him not want to go many places, so he did stay behind a lot! He was comfortable there and could go right over to the pool which is steps away while I went around the island with some friends! Mims restaurant is right there but not too loud and does close fairly early … food there is fabulous! I would recommend this little villa.. it’s cute and comfy! The owner is very attentive and does what he can to rectify any issues that might arise! We hope to be back next year!

Great location for scuba diving with St Thomas Dive Center!
PROS: You cannot beat the price of this property, nor the location. This condo is a great value for a comfortable stay right on the ocean. We could walk a few minutes along the beach to St. Thomas Dive Center, dine and/or enjoy cocktails at nearby Mims or Iggies, or prepare a meal at home then dine on the patio overlooking the pool, beach and ocean. Watching the sunrise over the ocean each morning while sipping hot coffee was an absolute delight. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, cooking dishes, pots and pans, an oven, microwave, coffee maker, blender (especially nice to be able to make some rum drinks at "home"), toaster, strainer, etc. The décor is breezy, clean and nice. The area was quiet and everyone we met was very welcoming. We felt very safe and secure throughout our stay. CONS: The listing stated there is wifi but there really isn't sufficient wifi service to state that, although the manager/owner was very prompt in returning our call, polite and helpful, but we still were unable to access a stable wifi from within the condo. We were able to connect only when outside on the patio. We also did not have hot water when we arrived, but again, he was super helpful and had a new water heater installed the very same day. Impressive and we were grateful! Also the description promised a cooler but we couldn't find one, which was disappointing. Not a big deal, we went to a couple of stores and finally found one at a Kmart for $13. We left this, along with a couple of food storage containers for future guests. The umbrella is broken and after carrying it to the beach and attempting to use it, we gave up and didn't use it again. Some of the kitchen dishes and the cutting board were not fully clean but after a little soap and bleach, we were comfortable using them. OVERALL: We definitely recommend staying here. The condo, pool and grounds were clean overall and enjoyable. The view is AMAZING and the location, especially if you're a scuba diver, is PERFECT! Thank you!
