    — YOUR PRIVATE ISLAND RETREAT —

    Relax and experience island life in this peaceful private 1-bedroom retreat overlooking the Caribbean.

    Wake up to beautiful ocean views, enjoy your morning coffee while feeling the Caribbean breeze, and end your day enjoying the colors over the water.

    The home offers a comfortable bedroom area along with a living area featuring a pull-out sofa that provides additional sleeping space and is especially well suited for children traveling with their parents.

    You'll also have a full private kitchen and outdoor space, giving you room to settle in and enjoy your vacation without feeling like you're staying in a traditional hotel room.

    Whether you're planning a couples getaway or bringing the kids along for a family vacation, this is a comfortable home base for experiencing St. Thomas.

    — GREAT FOR COUPLES & SMALL FAMILIES —

    This space works especially well for couples, as well as small families who appreciate having a bedroom area, living space and the convenience of a full kitchen.

    The pull-out sofa in the living area provides additional sleeping space that works especially well for children.

    Start the morning with breakfast or coffee at home, pack up for a day at the beach, explore the island, and then return to your own comfortable space with A/C, WiFi and everything you need to relax.

    Having a full kitchen is also a big convenience when traveling with children—whether you're making breakfast before heading out, preparing snacks for the beach or having an easy dinner at home.

    — A/C + SOLAR & 4 TESLA POWERWALLS —

    One feature that many first-time visitors don't think to look for when choosing a St. Thomas vacation rental is reliable backup power.

    Power outages are a reality of island life and can sometimes last for several hours. Without adequate backup power, that can mean losing A/C, WiFi and other comforts during your vacation.

    That's why we've invested in a large solar system with 4 Tesla Powerwalls designed to help keep the property comfortable and powered through extended grid outages.

    Not all backup systems have enough battery capacity to handle a lengthy outage, which is why we feel this is such an important feature for our guests.

    For us, reliable backup power isn't simply another amenity—it's an important part of making your stay comfortable and stress-free.

    You're coming to St. Thomas to relax and have fun, not worry about whether the island grid is on!

    — STRONG WIFI —

    We know staying connected is important, even when you're escaping to an island.

    The property offers strong, reliable WiFi, making it easy to stream, stay connected with family or get a little work done if needed.

    — GREAT CENTRAL LOCATION —

    One of the best features of this property is its location.

    You'll enjoy a peaceful, private setting in the Frenchman's Bay area while still being conveniently located for exploring St. Thomas.

    Nearby you'll find beaches, restaurants, Havensight, downtown Charlotte Amalie and easy access to the island's main roads.

    You can spend the morning at one beach, head into town for lunch, explore another part of the island in the afternoon and still be home in time to enjoy the evening.

    That's one of the reasons we love this part of St. Thomas—you can enjoy privacy without feeling far away from everything you came to the island to experience.

    — LOCAL TIP: DON'T LIMIT YOURSELF TO ONE BEACH —

    We're often asked, "What's your favorite beach?"

    Our answer isn't always easy because there are so many!

    One of the best parts of visiting the Virgin Islands is exploring, so don't plan your entire St. Thomas vacation around being next to just one beach.

    Spend one day discovering a beautiful St. Thomas beach, try another the next day, drive to Red Hook and take the ferry to St. John, or spend a day on the water exploring the British Virgin Islands.

    That's why we love having a centrally located home base. You're not tied to one resort or one beach—you can experience a different part of the Virgin Islands each day.

    Our advice? Pick a different adventure each morning and see where the day takes you!

    — BEACH DAYS MADE EASIER —

    Heading to the beach?

    We provide beach chairs and a cooler for our guests, making it easy to pack some drinks and snacks, choose a beach and enjoy the day.

    Then come home, cool off in the A/C and relax in your own private space.

    — FULL PRIVATE KITCHEN —

    Having your own kitchen makes island life a little easier—especially when traveling with children.

    Whether you want to make breakfast before heading to the beach, prepare lunch for the day, keep snacks and drinks on hand or enjoy an easy dinner at home, you'll have a full private kitchen available throughout your stay.

    It's also especially convenient for guests staying for a week or longer who don't want to eat every meal at a restaurant.

    — JEEP RENTALS —

    We highly recommend having a vehicle if you'd like to really explore St. Thomas.

    One of the best parts of visiting the island is having the freedom to discover different beaches, restaurants, viewpoints and neighborhoods on your own schedule.

    For added convenience, we have fully loaded Jeeps available to rent, subject to availability.

    Just ask us for availability and details.

    — BOAT CHARTERS & ISLAND ADVENTURES —

    Want to experience more of the Virgin Islands?

    A day on the water is one of our favorite things to recommend.

    We also own Caribbean Blue Boat Charters and Island Life Jeep Tours.

    Whether you'd like a day on the water, a trip to St. John or the British Virgin Islands, or an island adventure with local guides, we're happy to help you plan it.

    There is absolutely no obligation—we simply love helping our guests experience more of the islands.

    — LOCAL HOSTS & FREE CONCIERGE HELP —

    We live on St. Thomas and are always happy to share our local knowledge.

    Wondering which beach to visit? Looking for a great restaurant, snorkeling spot, sunset location or somewhere a little less touristy?

    Just ask!

    Our complimentary concierge help is available to make planning your trip easier.

    We want you to spend less time researching and more time enjoying St. Thomas.

    We're available when you need us while still giving you the privacy to enjoy your vacation.

    — TRAVELING WITH FRIENDS OR FAMILY? —

    Traveling with additional family members or friends who would like to stay nearby while still enjoying their own private space?

    Please contact us.

    We have another property nearby and also know other local vacation rental owners who may be able to accommodate your group.

    If this property is unavailable for your dates or you need a larger home, take a look at our other VRBO properties or simply message us and we'll be happy to help.

    — FIRST TIME IN ST. THOMAS? —

    We're happy to help!

    Driving, choosing beaches, grocery shopping, ferries and getting around St. Thomas can be a little different from what you're used to at home.

    We can answer questions before your arrival, help with local recommendations and make sure you feel prepared for your island adventure.

    That's one of the advantages of booking with hosts who actually live here.

    — COME EXPERIENCE ST. THOMAS —

    Spend your days discovering different beaches, exploring St. Thomas, taking the ferry to St. John or enjoying a day on the water.

    Then come home to your peaceful private retreat, turn on the A/C, relax with an ocean view and enjoy another Caribbean evening.

    Our goal is simple: to make your St. Thomas vacation comfortable, easy and memorable.

    We want you to spend less time figuring things out and more time enjoying the Virgin Islands.

    We look forward to welcoming you to St. Thomas!

Amazing Place

We stayed here for a week. The place was amazing…beautifully decorated, welcoming, and had everything we needed. The host was super helpful-lots of little touches with exceptional hospitality. She called twice in advance to check in before our stay to give us advice and see if she could be helpful. Great location-10-15 mins ti Charlotte Amalie and about 15-20 mins to Red Hook. Several gorgeous beaches nearby and great restaurants. Highly recommend!!!

St Thomas vrbo

The property was perfect. Everything we needed was there. The deck is so amazing. There are views of other islands, sunsets, cruise ships. Christy was so responsive to any questions we had about the area. The airport pickup available was very helpful Dan provided a great orientation to the island. The Jeep rental they provided also made it easy. My favorite island/beach vacation

Paradise Getaway

Christy and Dan’s gorgeous and inviting island apartment was a perfect paradise getaway. The views from the patio were spectacular while sipping our morning coffee, dining together or just soaking in the sunsets and stars. The apartment was stylish, fresh, relaxing and offered every amenity our family of three needed. The proximity to LimeTree beach, Charlotte Amalie, and all destinations to be explored worked perfectly for us. We took the opportunity to rent one of Christy and Dan’s Jeeps during our stay, which allowed us freedom to roam the island and even take the car ferry to St John a couple of days. We loved our stay and hope to come back soon!

You will love your time here

We spent our 30th anniversary in Escape to Paradise. This VRBO is centrally located which allows for really easy access to Havensight or Redhook. The views are fabulous. The photos of the studio are spot on, what you see is what you get. I highly recommend renting the Jeep that is available, also pay for the airport pick up service. The pickup service starts you vacation on the best foot. The host is super amazing there if you need but not intrusive. The view of Frenchman's bay is incredible you can see the cruise ships approaching. If you are looking for a semi-secluded, safe and quite place this is it hands down.

Christy, the owner, is the best!

This was our first time traveling to St. Thomas/St. John and from the moment I made this booking I was in contact with Christy, the owner. Christy lives on the island and we couldn’t have asked for better communication. She rented her jeep to us. We have a small family and it was perfect. It was amazing to have somebody on the island only a phone call or text away. She was so accommodating and made special arrangements for us for pick up and drop off with the jeep. We felt safe at all times. Thank you Christy!

Relaxing Stay

We really enjoyed our stay here! We honestly were never home during the day. It was very nice to come back from an event filled day to this relaxing space and unwind from the day. The view was beautiful in the morning and during Golden hour. Christy did a great job with making this place feel homey and relaxing. She was super helpful and provided great recommendations for food places and activities around the island. With it being my fiancés and sons first time visiting I was happy to select Christy’s place! We rented her Jeep during our entire stay and the rate is way better than what they charge at other rental car companies on the island. It was a lifesaver when having to commute to visit family and our day trip to St. John! We really appreciated having chairs and umbrellas provided too for when we went to the beach! The only feedback we have was the AC unit was too small for the space. It didn’t flow that much into the bedroom but the fans helped! I am accustomed to the heat and was fine, but my fiancé is always hot 😊. I look forward to staying here again in the future!

Beautiful!

What an amazing stay we had in St Thomas! This condo is impeccably furnished and clean, and the view from the deck/patio was amazing. Christy and Steph were wonderful in communicating with us. The Jeep we rented was really needed as we traveled the island, be ready for the steep hills and scary turns! The only suggestions we would make are more towels, a grill of some kind on the deck, and a washer/dryer lol. Otherwise this was a paradise oasis! We look forward to returning to the island and staying here again 😄
