A slice of heaven!

We loved this cute condo nestled right in Cowpet Bay- so lovely! We spent a lot of time on the outdoor, screened in patio. Location is perfect- right next to two restaurants (walkable) and close to town for groceries, etc and many of the beaches we explored. Parking was easy and convenient. Beds and pillows were very comfortable! We can’t wait to return. Highly recommend this gem!

O.k

The location of the property is great. Large complex but never felt overcrowded. There were always plenty of beach chairs and it was generally very quiet. Onsite restaurant/bar (Caribbean Fish Market) was wonderful. Great food and great atmosphere. One other casual open-air dining option on property that was also very good for breakfast and lunch. The condo is advertised as "Directly on the beach" which is a bit misleading. While the back of the condo has a lovely view and does look out on the beach you are not able exit from the rear lanai directly to the beach. Granted, it is a very short walk around the building to get there but we were expecting to walk straight out as we had in several other properties we have visited. The back of the condo is elevated so that is not possible here. The condo itself is very dated. Beds were very comfortable, and the showers were nice, but the furnishings were quite old/worn. The numbers/letters on the dials for the stove were worn off. The fridge and dishwasher were fine. The dryer vent filter obviously had not been cleaned in ages. It was so jammed we had to use a coat hanger to remove large clumps of lint from inside the vent to eliminate a fire hazard. The condo was generally pretty clean but is in need of a serious deep cleaning.

Amazing Weekend!

The photos do not do this place justice. Perfect villa for two couples! There is enough separation for privacy but beautiful shared spaces to enjoy together. The bay itself is gorgeous. Our meal at the onsite restaurant, Caribbean Fish Market was our best meal of the week….and we paid alot more at other places in Red Hook. Holly really looked after us during our stay. Extremely responsive and she made sure we knew about a tsunami alert.and when it was cancelled.

very good place to stay

We are two couples in the trip, and we have a good experience of staying with this property. The property locates in a gated community with quiet neighborhood. There are all necessary facilities in the complex, pool, hot tub, beach bar and the restaurant, all with walking distance. It is also close to the town of Red Hook where you can have more restaurants, bars, grocery and the ferry to go to St. John Island and BRVI. The best thing for this property is that our unit is just steps away from the beach as described. You can either seat on the screened patio to enjoy the view of the beach or walk down to it very conveniently. There are two king-bed rooms with their own bathroom separately. It is good for either two couples to share or a family staying. The unit is clean and neat. We have all necessary things for the daily life. We rent a car in the island, and we have no difficult to find parking place in the community. We had a wonderful and relax vacation here.

Excellent beach getaway

We truly enjoyed our stay at Holly’s condo. It has so much to offer and it is suited for a variety of family types. We sat out on the screened in porch in the early mornings and late evenings watching and listening to the waves! There was plenty of room to spread out but also to come together and enjoy dinner together. I would highly recommend her place. Thank you Holly!

A Great Stay

We had a great stay at this condo. Great space for two couples. Lots of TVs and space for everyone. A nice location with water views. Easy to get a cab and a quick ride to ferry to go to St. John. Owner provides tons of great information on the island and in the area surrounding in a digital guidebook. Condo had everything we needed for our stay including beach towels and pool and beach toys. Also there is a nice restaurant next door and it was so great to have in walking distance. Would definitely stay here again.

Paradise in the perfect location

My husband and I stayed here with another couple. This place was in the perfection location, it was the perfect space and we had the best time! It’s not easy to find a 2 bedroom with 2 king beds, so this was perfect. It’s literally steps away from the beach. She even has floaties, coolers, etc. for you to use. Everything was very clean. Holly has thought of everything that you may need for your vacation. She not only sends you all the details in advance but there is a binder there as well with all the info.

Great place for our first time on the island

Overall we really enjoyed the condo and had a great time on the island. It was our first time visiting the Virgin Islands so we didn't know what to expect. Here's some highlights: Location - The east end is wonderful and not crowded. Loved the proximity to Red Hook for dining, groceries, and to get on the ferry. Also close to other beaches and resorts. The property - the very private feeling beach was great, lots of amenities. The pool and restaurants were great too. We spent a lot of time on the property! The condo - the condo was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Great view of the beach and loved that there is a private walkway just steps away from the beach as advertised! Holly has everything covered in the condo, everything you need for a great stay is available to use. Holly was so helpful and very easy to contact. She has great resources for anything you might need, all in the app, which was so helpful and informative. She answered questions so quickly, it really put us at ease not having been on the island before. Really felt safe and conformable knowing they are on a generator for power. I have heard since booking that not all places have a generator and it's a good idea to look for a place with it. All in all, the vrbo was great, we have really no complaints and really enjoyed our stay. Thanks Holly!

3 day weekend

Me and my two daughters had a great stay. First, holly is probably the best Vrbo host I have ever worked with- she was available for any question / issue. The home itself is very comfortable and has two very separate private bedrooms which were great, but then a nice sized common area to hang out in. It was a bit too hot to be out on the porch for our stay but it’s a lovely view of the beach and Palm trees. Absolutely anything you could need was in the unit with amazing labeling, easy to use instructions for everything. We were also able to get in early as the cleaning had been done before our arrival. Overall truly an excellent stay it really felt like being at home. Thanks again!!!!

Cowpet Bay West condo

This condo did not disappoint! From the comfortable accommodations to the location on the beach, this condo comes equipped with everything you need in the kitchen (except food), coolers, rafts and towels for the beach. The condo is also located a couple of miles from Red Hook which has many tasty restaurants and the marina where you can catch the ferry. Holly the host is easy to work with and provides a plethora of information about the condo and local activities. Our favorite restaurants in Red Hook were- Pesce for Italian food and Agave for Mexican, both were excellent. Highly recommend taking the ferry to St. John and visiting Trunk and Maho Bays. On St. Thomas, make sure to go to Magens Bay, but coordinate your visit on a day there aren’t any cruise ships. Saphire beach, close to the condo was beautiful and had a good beach bar/restaurant.

With the close proximity to crystal blue waters and two restaurants in walking distance, we found it hard to pry ourselves from this location to go explore. Nicely appointed condo, few minor blips but nothing major. Holly was always available with a prompt response. Everyone agreed we would come back and stay at this exact location again.

St. Thomas Paradise

The unit was better than the description. We had two couples staying the week. Although we ate out most meals, we did cook breakfasts, one dinner and some reheating. There were plenty pots and pans including granite stone non stick. There was an ample supply of coffee K-Pods. The furniture was clean and comfortable with a couch and two recliners in the living room and two recliners in the garden bedroom. There was two tables, one inside and one on the screened in covered patio both seating four. Our wives loved all the pillows on the beds. Personally one is enough for me. Both of us guys have back issues so mattresses are crucial. When I first sat on the bed and felt how soft the mattress was I thought for sure I would be sleeping on the couch. To my surprise the mattress was very comfortable and neither one of us had a problem. The view out the front was amazing!! Palm trees, beach and ocean with several shades of blue. Once you exited the unit your feet were in the ocean in under two minutes. Being an inclosed bay the waves were minor and the water was in the 80's. The one major complaint we had is that the time went by way too fast. I should of booked more than the one week.

About the host

I live and work in the St Louis area.

Why they chose this property

My parents bought this home in 1982. After my dad passed away my mom wintered in this condo for over 20 years. I inherited the condo in 2016 and made it a short term rental for the first time in 2017. We love the home and hope you are as comfortable as we have always been. I am always available to make your stay the best it can be!

What makes this property unique

I love the fresh air and views of the ocean from this condo. I love hearing the waves hit the beach and how close it is to get to the beach and pool area. It's all concrete construction is safe and quiet. The veranda is private, you cannot see any neighbors veranda's and they cannot see you on your veranda, it's a wonderful way to spend quiet time reading or getting a massage. I love that the unit gets morning sun but by 10:00 am you are in the shade for the rest of the day.
