A Peace in Paradise!
Easy check in! Lindsay & Jeremia are SUPER AIRBNB HOST!! The best I’ve ever had ! Had everything for us inside the house such as beach towels , snorkeling stuff, bug spray ,and sunscreen! Their home is beautiful and only like 3-5 min walk to the beach!! Amazing view over looking the ocean great for pictures ! They were amazing with responding too! Super friendly accommodating and great communication! I definitely recommend staying at their Airbnb ! My fiancé and I will be back !

Larimar, the Caribbean below you
Joan’s place was absolutely beautiful! The views were some of the best I’ve ever seen. I sat on the porch any chance I could. The location was private but close enough to the beaches and restaurants. Next time I go to St. Thomas, I will be sure to return to the Larimar!

Island Escape @Sapphire Beach
Great location. Taxi stand, restaurants bar and beach steps away. Red Hook just a few minutes away by Taxi. Would definitely stay again.

JJ Getaway to Sapphire Beach
We had an awesome time staying here. The place it's self was very roomy. Providing 3 beds & I saw an air mattress in the closet. We loved all the extra amenities. Everything described in listing was provided. They were quick to respond when messaged. which is great when you're in foreign environment & need help fast. I enjoyed staying in this area. Glad we chose it over Charlotte Amalie. We didn't use the pool but we were situated very close to it. So that's nice. The restaurant closeby was reasonable. Food was good. We didn't use the laundry so can't attest to that. Tvs had screen mirroring. Which we used. Ceiling fans were great as AC usually made it cold fast. Coming in & out the unit was a breeze with lock code. Very close to St John's ferry. We spent the day there visiting. Trunk Bay beach is a must! I would stay with them again if I went back!

New! Ocean front, Luxury@SaphireBeach
Loved our stay here. Steps from the beach, food, and bars. Less than a 5 minute drive to Red Hook to catch the ferry to St. John. Very clean place decorated nicely. Ana was very quick to respond with any questions I had. Already planning another stay here!!

GRooVI-Diggs @ Sapphire Beach - Rare 1BR Floorplan
We can't say enough about V's place. It was our first visit to the island and V was very helpful with everything from the reservations to recommendations for a Jeep rental. We noticed right away that V takes pride in her rental. The unit was very clean, organized, had an amazing view, and included things such as beach chairs and snorkel gear. We are so glad that we chose V's place for our first visit and would definitely recommend.

Stylish & Luminous 2BR-spectacular water views!
Michael’s place was amazing, clean and really felt like home. The self check - in was very simple and clear. Taxis do not go up the hill but it’s okay. The hills were steep but I enjoyed the small workout lol. The home is near so many shops, restaurants, a mini market and a nice little club called Bliss. I enjoyed my stay and will definitely stay again.

Beachfront Community on Cowpet Bay Beach
Do yourself a favor and book this spot. Larissa could not have been a better host and was so easy to talk to. We were exhausted when we got in after a very long travel day and Larissa helped us figure everything out. The unit is also spotless and the views are incredible. We loved it here. Wish I never had to leave.

Casa Tua St John
We were pleasantly surprised at how quiet and private this home was considering its proximity to restaurants and the main thoroughfare in Coral Bay! It was so convenient for us to get to all the beaches we love to snorkel at AND the very best dinners were at Sharky’s right outside our front gate!! So we did not have to drive to dinner most nights!! We could walk to Crabby’s, practically next door for snorkel rentals. There is also a small market right behind Crabby’s. Any questions we had were answered almost immediately as Jose was living on the premises. We only saw him when we needed help with something. Only concern for Seniors is the winding stairwell to go upstairs to bedrooms and main bathroom. Fortunately, there is a first floor bathroom and shower we also really appreciated being Seniors ourselves!! We LOVED the screened porch surrounding the home and the small pool was refreshing after a snorkel. There is a hose for cleaning sand off everything by the pool.

Fanta Sea Villa ~ Peaches Seaside Sanctuary
10 out of 10, not only was the place amazing, but K was the best host. She checked in with us and gave us all the information we needed to enjoy our stay. K was super accommodating as well. The views were absolutely stunning! One of the best sunrises I’ve ever witness, and the cool thing was, you didn’t have to go anywhere to see it, you literally just walked out on the balcony and there it was. Place was extremely clean and well organized, pool in the back is perfect for a relax and chill kind of day. The location is on the north end of the island, you can walk to the local market, we would get groceries there. We went to Sib’s, bar/restaurant close by, one of the oldest restaurants on the island I believe. The food was great! If you want a super private, check out for a couple of days, to rest and relax, this is your place. Do not hesitate, go ahead and book it. Thanks again to K for being the best host and allowing Sami and I to stay at your place. We will be back for sure!

Villa Isla A: Spacious 1 bedroom 1 bath sleeps 2-4
Water Island was absolutely beautiful! Our stay was amazing—even when we ran into island-related issues like a power outage, both Isla and Erin were quick to jump in and get everything up and running again, even over Easter weekend! This was our first time visiting the islands for my birthday trip, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The location was stunning, with the best views! Haze was an angel—such a sweet boy who kept us company while we missed our own cats. We’ve already decided to make this a yearly tradition and plan to stay at Isla’s for many years to come. We absolutely loved this place—it was the perfect getaway!

2BR/2BA AMAZING MagensBay View! SerenityNorthstar⭐️
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for all your attention, care, and professionalism during our stay. Your home is extremely well maintained, offering an impeccable environment in terms of cleanliness, organization, and comfort. We felt very safe throughout our stay, which provided us with a peaceful, pleasant, and worry-free experience. Additionally, the atmosphere is welcoming, well-located, and filled with very positive energy, which made a real difference in our experience in St. Thomas. It was undoubtedly an excellent choice and an experience that will remain in our best memories. I am truly grateful and hope to have the opportunity to return in the future. Sincerely, Ramonna

Tropical Shores a Waterfront Villa
We had a wonderful 4 night stay at the house. The view over the ocean is spectacular and we ate outside on the deck almost every night admiring the sunset and then the stars. The small pool was refreshing. We had ample space for our two teens, each with their own rooms. The house was also very clean and air conditioning in the bedrooms worked well. The house could use some maintenance— the outside doors, some stove burners didn’t work, towel rods loose/came down, etc. And perhaps not great choice if you have small kids (deck railing is loosely protective…) or don’t like stairs. But these small issues didn’t detract for us from the pristine views, comfortable rooms, and clean relaxing vibe of the house. And Joanne was always responsive and helpful! Overall the house helped make this a great St Thomas vacation, we looked forward to returning to it each day.

BRAND NEW Beach & Water Access, 3 bed
Im just going repeat what has already been said. This property was beyond expectations. The views alone are breathtaking. Its safe and the beds and rooms were all top notch. I will also say...in the event you didn't pack something...Im 99% sure it will be there. From cotton swabs to Games and novels. The book of local things to do, eat and visit is so exhaustive I doubt you will find time to do it all. I could not recommend it more. Book and enjoy your stay!

Oceanfront Private Caribbean Resort!
We had a wonderful 3 days. The house is beautiful and it offers an easy to relax atmosphere.

Waterfront Condo near The Ritz
I had a great trip staying at Cabrita by the Sea! I was provided with many recommendations and had any questions I had answered quickly! The Airbnb was easy and convenient near Red Hook where you can find many restaurants and the ferry to St John. While at St Thomas I would recommend going on a snorkeling trip. Our favorite beaches were Magens Bay and Trunk and Maho (St John)

BEAUTIFUL GRANDE BAY STUDIO CONDO W/ GREAT VIEWS
We had a wonderful stay! The place was perfect and I would not want to stay anywhere else. It was very clean, had a nice view, and was extremely walkable to Cruz Bay restaurants. The studio was a good size for my husband and our 2 kids. The resort and the amenities were great. Everyone was super nice and helpful. The pool was warm and the hot tub very nice. There were elevators which was nice for me being very pregnant. The staff were very friendly and willing to help with anything. Would 100% stay here again.

WanderlustSTT-Cabrita by the Sea Condo-Waterfront
Nice little condo on the water, with great views!

Orchid Del Sol - 2B/2B Condo Ocean Front
My best friend from college and I took a much needed girls trip and this condo exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful, clean, quiet, had an amazing view of the ocean and we were even left a welcome gift. The condo was fully stocked with the basics and the condo manager picked up our groceries and put them away before we arrived. The private beach and pool were perfect and don’t sleep on Sangria’s. The food there was amazing and my friend who has celiac said they had the best gluten free pizza she’s ever eaten. If we had any questions the hosts and condo manager were quick to respond. With all of the complaints people have nowadays with Airbnb cleaning fees and requirements we were shocked that all we had to do upon leaving was lock up. The only suggestion we could possibly make would be to maybe have a list of favorite restaurants, bars or things to do that a tourist wouldn’t think of doing. Our stay was absolute perfection and we’d definitely come back.

Beachside Condo on beautiful Cowpet Bay
The location was gorgeous. The view and the beach were amazing. It was a short quick walk down to the beach, pool, restaurants, and beach bar. You definitely need a vehicle to explore more of the islands, but after spending a day beach hopping, the one at the condo was by far our favorite for both swimming and relaxed snorkeling (even our teenagers agreed)! We’ll definitely be back again!

Seaside Studio Suite - at Grande Bay Resort, St. J
Tracy’s place is perfect! Walking distance to great restaurants in Cruz, the ferry, and the taxi stand. Could not have chosen a better area for our first trip to STJ. Her welcome guide is super helpful and the condo has beach chairs, coolers, towels, etc. so you can pack light. Would definitely recommend having a few things delivered from the grocery store (we used Dolphin Market but it is walkable). Don’t miss a happy hour at Beach Bar!

Leap of Faith at Cowpet Bay East
Great week at Leap of Faith. Everything was immaculate, and Amy was a terrific and very responsive host. Helped us to book a catamaran excursion that turned out to be terrific, very helpful with insight about local places. Would highly recommend everything about it.

Elysian Beach Resort studio
Ryan is helpful and prompt , I appreciate the time he took to address my many questions and the patience shown. My son had a great time and felt at home.

Shore Thing Retreat in Cowpet Bay East
Well appointed and updated unit with great amenities, including lots of beach equipment for use, plenty of towels and bathroom supplies, and well stocked kitchen. Great access to beach and pool and convenient to Red Hook eateries and grocery. Condo is well designed and we enjoyed our brief visit as the unit was comfortable, well located, and nicely decorated. We would highly recommend to families seeking getaway in East end of St Thomas.
