About this property

Spectacular Views I at Elysian Beach Resort

See the spectacular views from our quiet top floor 1,800 sq. ft. three bedroom, four full bath, non-smoking condominium at the Wyndham's Elysian Beach Resort overlooking beautiful Cowpet Bay (also see our other almost identical three bedroom condo, VRBO #837004, at the same resort). Our top floor condo has all the features that you would want in a vacation condo as we stay there several weeks per year. The living area has a sectional sofa, a large TV, a DVD player and wireless internet service. It has a covered balcony with table, chairs, and Weber electric BBQ grill. The dining area has a table that seats six or eat on the balcony that seats six. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances (oven/cooktop, dishwasher, microwave), quartz countertop, and an eating bar with three counter stools.

There are two spacious bedrooms on the main floor, both with a king beds and one has an additional single bed. The third bedroom is in a loft setting with a king bed. Also available is a Pack And Play for infants. All three bedrooms have high vaulted ceilings, individual quiet split air conditioning units, ceiling fans, TVs, dressers and closets. Each bedroom has a private bath with two sinks (one in loft) and shower. The fourth full bathroom has a combination tub/shower. All bedrooms have private balconies with great views of Cowpet Bay and nearby islands (you can even see St. Croix on a clear day). The loft deck is over-sized (13'x18') and is perfect for enjoying the views, socializing, sunbathing and star gazing.

It only takes 3 to 4 minutes to walk to the beautiful palm tree lined beach where there are complimentary beach and lounge chairs. Here you can bask in the sun or lay under the shade of a palm or seagrape tree. The beach has a large, protected swimming area and an area where you can snorkel. Next to the beach is a large beautifully landscaped pool with hot tub. There is also a beach/pool bar and two great restaurants. Caribbean Fish Market serves dinner from 5pm to 10pm and brunch on Sunday. Sangria's is open from 7:30am to 8pm with only pizza served after 6pm. On site we have a tennis court, fee exercise room (currently closed), fee Health/Beauty/Massage Spa (currently closed) and water-sport rentals.

In the nearby town of Red Hook, you can take a ferry to St. John and the British Virgin Islands (passport required for BVI). The town of Red Hook has a dozen restaurants, a grocery store, gift and specialty shops, and a large marina. All of this is within a mile and a half of our condominium.

First family trip with baby

We had a wonderful stay at this spacious condo for our first time traveling to St. Thomas with our granddaughter. The property was exactly as pictured online. Spacious, clean, and with all the amenities we needed. Rich was wonderful to work with and very accommodating to our needs. We would definitely recommend and look forward to our next time in the USVI!

Spectacular Condo

We couldn't have asked for a better stay! This condo exceeded our expectations in every way. The communication and check-in were seamless, and the condo itself was absolutely spotless and incredibly spacious. The views? Simply breathtaking! Even with the windy and rainy weather, we enjoyed the multiple balcony options and the stunning scenery. The location was ideal for us – just a quick 3-minute drive to Red Hook and the St. John ferry. Plus, the condo's convenient location right by the complex entrance made taxi pickups a breeze. The pool and beach were fantastic, the pool bar was a lively spot in the afternoons, and the pizza at Sangrias was a hit with our teens. A pro-tip: check the condo before grocery shopping! We were pleasantly surprised by how well-stocked it was.

Great Stay on Cowpet Bay!

This condo and location was absolutely perfect for our family of 4! The condo was so well appointed, clean, spacious, comfortable beds, plentiful towels, and more! The views are certainly spectacular as well and the pics don’t do it justice. The owner Rick was so communicative and helpful leading up to the actual trip and super responsive for any questions or requested recommendations.The Elysian Resort that this is located in was also very nice! We enjoyed the calmness of Cowpet Bay, plentiful beach chairs, resort pool, and both restaurants! Caribbean Fish Market was delicious for a nicer upper scale dinner and Sangrias on the beach was great for lunch and drinks (also open for breakfast and pizza only after 6p). This condo is super close to Red Hook for more great dining options and ferry services too! Left-sided driving for those unfamiliar is not bad at all here too, but in the event you need a taxi they seemed plentiful all around the island including at this resort.If/when we come back to the USVIs I will definitely look to stay here again!

Would stay here again

We had a great stay! The views are great. We loved the restaurant, there was a night kayak at the beach we did the last night that was fun and we would do again. The air conditioning worked so well! Great location. Shade at beach and pool. The furniture was comfortable. Everything was in good working order.

5 star stay!

Our hosts were incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and helpful! The location can’t be beat, and the house has everything you could need for a short or long stay! We loved being able to walk over to the pool and the beach was so cute and relaxing. The views are unreal, I love that each room has a bathroom and a view. I felt so spoiled! The amenities are great, and it was in a location that had stuff to do but close enough if you did want to explore (which I recommend doing) I will be back, thank you for making my family vacation so special! We all LOVED the house. Breakfast al fresco was a real core memory for us and we are still raving about our trip.

The Perfect Vacation Home

My immediate family was hoping to stay together for my sister’s wedding weekend in St Thomas. We’ve got 3 little ones, a teenager, and 8 adults. The “Spectacular View I” and “Spectacular View II” were the perfect homes for us. They had more than enough space and privacy for all of us, but also large common areas for us to spend time together too. The comfy beds and GREAT air conditioning were nice to come back to after long days on the beach. The kitchen was also set up with everything we needed to cook large meals. Highly recommend for your next family vacation!

Perfect Property for family of 5

The property was perfect for our family which allow us to spread out while still being close to each other. The views from each deck were amazing and made for a nice place to sit with a morning coffee or evening drink. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed. Working with Richard during booking, check-in and check-out was extremely easy and he was very quick to respond. If you are looking for a great location to see USVI and enjoy a beach beach within a 3 min walk then this is the place.

Family Vacation

Absolutely gorgeous view!! Unit was well appointed and easily accommodated our family for the week. There were beach toys and chairs, some games, and a good supply of basic things like paper towel, toilet paper, spices, dishwashing and laundry soap etc..... Location was great in terms of easily getting to other areas of the island. Would definitely recommend renting a car! Thank you, Richard for a lovely stay in your home!

Elysian Resort 349 Vacation!

My husband and I have stayed at multiple places on St Thomas and we were very happy with our stay here. There were five of us and all were happy. It was extremely clean, plenty of dishes, pots, etc, nicely decorated, spacious and soooo convenient to everything we wanted to do. We stayed busy and fell into the beds at night, which were very comfortable. Thank goodness because I've stayed in places that you had very uncomfortable beds. Perfection. The view was wonderful. You can't beat this place!! 20 years of traveling to St Thomas allows me to say this. So glad I was able to book it!

Great Place to stay

Richards condo was a perfect place to stay for our 1st trip to St Thomas. Communication was great with fast replies and great recommendations for restaurants and grocery stores. (The Tap and Still has awesome burgers). The condo had everything we needed, soaps, paper towels, toilet paper,etc. The photos do not do justice to the inside or the view, every room has a balcony and an awesome view. The place was very clean and check in was super easy. Parking was very close as well, as soon as you go through the main entrance you take a left and parking is within 30 feet. We never had any issues with neighbor noise or any sort of interruptions. the Wifi was quick and had no issues connecting. The restaurants onsite were very good, the Carribean fish market was really good but a bit pricey however the food and service was great. it was nice not having to rent chairs at the beach at the resort like we've had to do at other resorts in the past. Driving on the island was a whole new experience as well, many tight turns and steep narrow roads but it just made for some very interesting memories with the kids. :). We will definitely stay here again on our next trip which my kids are already asking for.

Great Location & View

This property is in a great location in relation to Red Hook and several great beaches. The view from the rooftop is wonderful. Condo was clean and very spacious which allowed the family to have separate spaces when needed. Just a few of the very nice features are: pool and restaurant on site, steps away from the beach with multiple water toys, very nice sheets & linens (very important for sunburn). Overall great place. Would definitely stay again.

Best Spot on the Island

This place was just perfect! My husband and I stayed with our 24 year old son and 18 year old daughter. The 3 bedrooms were great for us! 3 balconies for each room and a main balcony were so nice. Kitchen was well stocked. Would have liked a few more towels in each bathroom so we didn’t have to wash so much, but that was OK. Everything was clean and nice. The beach was exactly what we love. Plenty of seating at the beach during this time. The pool is nice, but we spent all of our time at the beach. You may need your own beach towels. We didn’t get beach towels until the 3rd day and then only able to get 3. You can rent snorkel gear, kayaks, boat rides at the beach shack also. The beach bar by the pool is fun and then Sangrias is a nice place to get a drink and breakfast, lunch or a snack. Sangria has only pizza after 6pm. The Caribbean Fish Market is a very nice and delicious restaurant for dinner at 5pm. Food was so good! Beachside is a plus! Service was great and everyone was pleasant. We would recommend this resort. So easy to get to Red Hook for boat charters and restaurants and shopping. Rent a car and drive around the island. Mountain Top market was fun place to shop with the best banana daiquiris.

About the host

Hosted by Rick & Susan Taylor

Host profile image
Susan and Rick Taylor live in Wilmington DE, where they were born and raised. We also lived in Tulsa OK for 15 years. We have three married daughters and each of them gave us a grandchild in 2008, one in 2010, two more in July 2011 and last one in January 2014.

Why they chose this property

We spent our 30th wedding anniversary with our family in St. Thomas and fell in love with the island. After visiting many other islands, we returned a year later looking for real estate. We stayed at the Elysian and realized the location on island, beach, facilities, and condos couldn't be beat. The rest is history.

What makes this property unique

The property is very well maintain. On site there are two great restaurants, a beautiful uncrowded palm tree lined beach, a large swimming pool with hot tub and pool bar, a tennis court, an exercise facility (currently closed), a beauty/health/massage spa (currently closed), and a sports equipment rental hut.
