About this property

The Studio at Cliffside Retreat

Cliffside Retreat is located at the end of the road, perched atop Tropaco Point. This lofted efficiency features stunning, panoramic views of a Caribbean paradise.
Watch pelicans diving into the sea as you enjoy your morning coffee on the open, screened-in porch, and enjoy the sound of gentle waves as you fall asleep in the comfortable lofted bedroom. Incredible sunsets included! If you love the serenity and the relaxing sound of the ocean, you've found your dream vacation destination.

THE SPACE
This amazing studio efficiency is located just below the main property. Walk down the outdoor stairs and find yourself sitting mere feet above the ocean.

Wonderful house and amazing views and location

Staying at The Studio at Cliffside Retreat was like discovering a secret paradise perched above the Caribbean Sea on the picturesque Northside of St. Thomas. The decor, with its island-inspired charm and cozy touches, added to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Each morning, the breathtaking views of Hull Bay Beach and the distant islands greeted us, while at night, the skies were a canvas of stars, offering a tranquil end to our days. The owners were incredibly attentive and kind, making us feel right at home. The studio provided all the modern comforts in a setting that felt like a personal retreat. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation, offering a great base to explore the vibrant island life around St. Thomas. We were so enchanted by our experience that we're already planning our return!

Great ocean spray cottage!

Very cute little place with everything you need. Proximity to Hull Bay beach is a huge asset. I really enjoyed watching the waves crash against the massive rocks right outside the windows.

Wonderful seaside spot

This is a beautiful location so close to the sea you feel like you're on a ship. The screened in patio faces the sunset. Perfect spot, I'll definitely be back!

Perfect retreat to relax & unwind

Cliffside retreat was a dream come true. I was traveling for my son’s basketball tournament and working remotely. This studio was a wonderful place to come home to every day after the games. The views really are as perfect as the photos. Waking up in the morning, you are greeted with the beautiful view. Joanne & Raymond have thought of everything: well-equipped Kitchen, beach supplies like chairs, coolers, inflatables and snorkel gear. You really have everything you need. Hull Bay is secluded and calm and has some of the best snorkeling on the island. We saw a ton of fish and even a sea turtle! I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in St Thomas after this!

Beautiful, Unique Getaway

Joanne was a fantastic host and a great communicator. The property is beautiful and comfortable. The views of Hull Bay and the Northern part of the Island are outstanding and the sound of the waves hitting the shore is mesmerizing. Morning coffee was shared with goats and iguanas. If we ever get to St Thomas again, we will try to book here again.
