Don’t look anywhere else if it’s available take it !

If this is available for your dates TAKE IT !The owners were unbelievably helpful. The description is accurate but even better than it says . The view is AMAZING. We ate breakfast and dinner every night outside. They have beach chairs ,lotion, towels , games movies . The property is cowpet bay west in between is the Elysian resort which has the pool and on the other side is Cowpet bay East. It is the second level . (That’s why the amazing view worth it )It is a short 50 steps down to the beach . If you have a carriage you can walk on the road down. And walk up on the road. Challenging if you have mobility issues with the stairs. But you only walk up once a day and it’s great exercise. The beach is very nice ,the pool is nice, hot tub wasn’t so hot but still nice at the end of the day.There is a restaurant and place to get drinks. There is a place to rent kayaks and go out at night and it lights up the bottom to see fish at night. There is a parking spot if you rent a car. It is located right next to the Ritz Carlton 5 minute walk and the yacht club 5 minute walk Walkable to the Chabad if needed but you must bring reflectors as the roads are curvy and no lights. If you have a family of 6 this is the only place to book . We were 4 people and had so much room. It has two big beds and a bed that pulls out. The beds were unbelievable comfortable. If we ever come back I hope this is available.

Beautiful condo unit

Two adults and two children ages 3 and 1 were treated to this beautiful condo unit. The host quickly responded to all questions. They thoroughly appreciated the children’s toys, pack n play, and high chair. A rental car allowed off site visits to three different beaches. An amazing time by all!

Incredible stay

We’ve stayed in many different countries. This VRBO has it all. Incredible view, very clean and gorgeous furnishings. We were very happy along with our older teens for the week. It’s about 30 steps down to the beach/ pool/ restaurants. And totally worth it to get the view. Well-appointed with many amenities-even soap and plenty of TP. We only needed shampoo, conditioner & laundry soap. Also easy to get a taxi, we didn’t rent a car. Loved breakfast on the balcony every morning. One day we had an issue with a toilet-before I could send a message the owner proactively reached out to tell us there was a broken pipe and toilets would be down for a couple of hours. It wasn’t a big deal and we appreciated the heads up! Great communication. Highly recommend.

Stay here

Part of me wanted to leave a bad review so we can book whenever we want, but this place is magical. After exploring other beaches on the island, we realized how good we had it at Cowpet. Red Hook had everything we needed and was a short 5 min drive. You won’t be disappointed staying here. Do it.

First time USVI

Carol met us for check-in. Unit was very clean. It is well equipped for cooking in. The view of the water is fantastic and only a quick flight of stairs down to the beach. The pool and on-site dining are great. Only minutes into Red Hook and the ferry to St. John. We really enjoyed St. Thomas and St. John and it is definitely worth a return visit.

stunning place in a great, quiet neighborhood - better than the photos

This was the first time I planned a trip with only a couple of weeks turnaround from planning to flying due to a very last minute pto oppurtunity. I was half expecting to get owners that were guarded about the tight time crunch but instead got very helpful owners that answered all of my questions. I'm still quite shocked that this property wasn't already booked, considering it was also carnival time in St. John. Although the reviews were great and pictures looked fine, I didn't know what to expect. The house was gorgeous and spotless! I can't stress enough how tasteful the place is decorated and furnished. I stay a week down the jersey shore every year, so I've had my fill of tacky beach decor....there's something weirdly peaceful about coming home after a beach day to a tasteful, calm place. And it was also the best provisioned place I've every stayed in. It had everything you needed & what it had was quality. Can't say I ever stayed in a place with pottery barn dishes before. Spices galor, sugar, every cleaning product you could think of, every utensil. Tons of games, towels (including the thickest and largest beach towels I've ever seen). Even binoculars. The view was perfect and the deck furniture was substantial and comfortable....no cheap plastic stuff that could blow around. Yes, there are a lot of stairs to get down to the beach and pool but it honestly wasn't bad. Would not change a thing and would definitely return.

Didn’t want to leave

We had a family of six, my parents, me and my husband, and my two young adult children. We all loved our stay. The condo was spacious and had everything we needed. We were close to 2 grocery stores (5 and 10 minutes away ish), 5 minutes from the Red Hook ferry and town, and a short walk to a beautiful beach and swimming pool. Every morning, we would sit outside and enjoy the amazing view. Then walk down to the water, or take the ferry to St John to explore. Don’t hesitate to stay here, you’ll be grateful!

Family Vacation

Our family of 5 stayed at the end of December-beginning of January. We loved the condo! The location was excellent. We enjoyed the beach, the pool, and the nearby restaurants. The beds and bedding were great! It was wonderful to sit on the balcony in the morning and in the evening and enjoy the view! We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful condo in an amazing location

We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely try to stay here again if we return to St Thomas. The condo was even nicer than the pictures and the view from the balcony was incredible. The condo was well equipped for traveling with young kids, and we felt really comfortable. It was just a short walk to a calm, quiet beach with plenty of beach chairs and lots of optional shade under palm trees. The pool was also nice. The onsite restaurants have good food options, and we were just a 5 minute drive away from a grocery store and other restaurants in Red Hook. Whether you just want to sit in one place and enjoy with your family or go out and explore the island, this is a great home base. The owners and the property managers were really responsive when there was an issue with the water and ensured the issue was resolved ASAP. I would highly recommend this condo if you’re looking for a calm, relaxing vacation. Even though there are others who flagged the stairs to get to and from the beach (which there are many) we didn’t have trouble going to and from with a toddler and infant.

August Stay

Everything was great. This place was wonderful and we didn't want to leave. As others have mentioned there are a lot of steps to the beach but at the bottom there is a beach bar with all the frozen drinks you could want. The Crowe's nest was fully stocked and we used most of the beach gear all over the island. Cooked breakfast every day and kitchen had everything I needed. I'll definitely be back to St Thomas as soon as my savings account can handle it again!

5 stars.

Very nice condo. Very clean. Stocked with dvd’s, books, games, coolers, even beach chairs. Patio furniture brand new. Great view. Nice clean pool area, with restaurant 100’ away. Only negative is lots of steps from condo to pool area (didn’t bother us, we needed the exercise, but could give some people trouble). Also dozen steps from car parking spot to condo.

Lovely Property

Crowes Nest is a clean, very comfortable apartment with a fabulous view and everything you could need (apart from a kettle). Please think of us Brits who only drink tea. Pool area was great and most days you could get sunbeds on either the beach or around the pool for most of the day. There are a lot of stairs down to the beach/pool which unfortunately I struggled with as I have knee problems but you are able to drive down to the lower level and park in guest parking which only leaves one slope so it is very manageable if you do have mobility problems. The complex is in a great position on the island, very close to Red Hook with shops and restaurants (you must eat in Pesce - wonderful). Megan and Chris are extremely helpful and great hosts.

Best vacation!

Crowe’s Nest is a great condo, our family of 5 (3 adult children 23, 21, 18) were really comfortable there. The owners have thought of everything from beach towels and water noodles to board games and puzzles and made our stay fun, relaxing and stress-free. The condo is tastefully decorated and clean, the beds are comfortable, the couch is cozy, the deck and the view, spectacular. Short walk down to the beach/pool/Caribbean Fish Market/Sangria’s. I highly recommend and we will be back!!

Return to ST Thomas- It was a perfect vacation.

We have been to the island three other times. Restaurant prices have gone up on the island and it was nice as well as cost saving to have the ability to fix our own breakfast and lunch. The beach was nice, we went swimming every day

Wonderful Memories Made

It was our first visit to St Thomas and we had no clue where to stay but Cowpet Bay ended up being the perfect place. The condo was exactly as described and Megan responded right away to all of our questions. We would book this property again but if you have anyone with mobility issues in your party there are lots of steep steps to the condo and the beach so I would not recommend it.

By far the BEST family vacation!

The Crowes Nest was a breathtaking, relaxing, clean, spacious, and unforgettable vacation for my family & I. Megan and Chris were so kind & always responded quickly, before & during our vacation, which made for a stress free trip! Upon arrival at the airport, Carol (heartwarming, loving, & funny) was great at keeping in contact in a timely manner in order to greet us, then gave us a tour of the condo before we settled in. The cleanliness and accommodations of this place are unmatched, as Megan and Chris have included everything you could think of or might’ve forgot to bring with. I read several reviews about how comfy the beds were so we couldn’t wait to see for ourselves, and after this trip, it’s safe to say that we wish we could’ve taken them home with us😂Our favorite part was the balcony that included nice furniture & immaculate views of the beach! We appreciated the details given in the information packet, most importantly Frank the driver. He basically became a member of our family for a week & we looked forward to seeing him each time:) We also loved how the property was more secluded and private, so we never had to worry about a crowded beach or noise. Another favorite part of ours was reading notes from previous renters in the cute guest book about how great their stay was & the variety of books in the place (there is definitely a read for everyone)! My family and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to stay at the Crowes Nest and we cannot say enough good things about the place! We can’t wait to come back in the future and we will definitely be recommending The Crowes Nest to anyone looking to visit St. Thomas!
