My family and I had never visited St Thomas before, but we were incredibly lucky to have found this vacation home! St Thomas is a fairly small island but the roads are a bit terrifying. Staying near Bolongo Bay kept us relatively close to all places we might want to go. First off, the top floor of the house, where you stay, has an amazing view. It’s 180 degrees of ocean and islands. It’s quiet, too, not a wild party neighborhood like Red Hook or Charlotte Amalie might be. You can swim in the pool and enjoy the view and the occasional tortoise or lovebird, or open the windows and enjoy the breeze. The decor is island perfect and the house, beds, and living spaces are very comfy. I really appreciated the owners eco conscious view on life in St Thomas as well.
When you DO want to leave, you can get great food at Bolongo Bay resort or one bay over, at Limetree resort. If you want more options, you can scoot over to Red Hook in 15 minutes. The best beaches on the island are 15-20 minutes in every direction- past Red Hook, north across the island at Magen’s Bay, or just past the airport at Brewers Bay. Closer by, you can go with VI Ecotours and kayak around the mangrove lagoon.
Returning back to the house, the owners are amazing and very accessible. They gave us lots of fun ideas and were incredibly helpful. You could tell that they love the island and want others to enjoy their stay. Overall it was a great vacation and we would absolutely stay at See Ya Round over and over again!
