There are many species of birds to view from your private deck, including emerald hummingbirds, yellow-breasted, banana-quits, (aka sugar birds named for their propensity to eat sugar), flocks of green parakeets, red-tail hawks, red-throated pigeons and morning doves, just to name a few.

The kitchen was recently renovated. It has with an electric stove with oven and full-sized refrigerator. There is a coffeemaker, microwave, toaster oven, blender and toaster for your convenience. It has all silverware, glassware, dishware, bake-ware, pots, pans and cooking utensils, should you feel like dining at home.

There is a propane grill and outdoor furniture such as a chaise lounge, table and chairs for lounging on the deck.
A favorite end of day past-time is dining "Al fresco" while sipping a tasty, tropical, frozen drink while watching the colors of the sky and ocean change as dusk settles in.

We provide beach towels, beach chairs and a cooler for your use.

The living room is tastefully furnished with a rattan sofa and loveseat in a colorful, tropical print. There is 20" TV with expanded cable service, DVD player, radio with AM/FM/CD player.

There is a king-sized bed with comfy pillows. There is an ample amount of drawer and closet space in the bedroom. There are beautiful ocean views from every window. There are plenty of hangers, an iron and small ironing board should you need them. There are laundry facilities available for your use on the same deck level. There are ceiling and walls fans throughout to enhance our cool tropical breezes.

Our winters can be chilly so you will want to pack a sweater or jacket for the evenings.

We are just minutes from Hull Bay Beach if you feel like a "quick dip," or snorkel, a cold drink, or a bite to eat. There are 3 restaurants in the immediate area that serve very good meals in a casual atmosphere if you are to tired from a fun-filled day in the sun to travel far.

We are just minutes away from Mountain Top with its tasty frozen drinks and panoramic views, world famous, mile long, Magen's Bay Beach, Mahogany Run Golf Course with its famous Devil's Triangle course, Coral World Marine Park and our beautiful, historic town of Charlotte Amalie with "duty free shopping." Take your car on the ferry barge over to St. John to spend the day exploring the National Park and all their lovely beaches!

There are a wide variety of restaurants, sailing, diving and fishing trips and other exciting excursions from which to choose. We are happy to recommend our favorites.

While travel to the U.S. Virgin Islands does not require a passport,
excursion trips to the British Virgin Islands which are just a ferry ride away, do require passports. Be sure to bring yours.

A rental car is a must here and we are happy to refer you to the agency that the majority of out guests use or we can help you with other arrangements.

Please join us for a wonderful and relaxing vacation at A Place In Paradise! We Look forward to meeting you!

  • We had an absolutely wonderful time staying here in this condo for one week. Alana was the most caring and helpful host we have ever had. She picked us up from the airport and helped us throughout our stay. We even had thanksgiving dinner with her. She was so sweet and the apartment had everything we needed. It felt like a home away from home. Nice view, convenient location, close to Magens Bay and downtown. We had a blast, we will definitely come again, and Highly recommend others to stay here. Thanks again Alana! Aatifa & Abdul

  • Dear Alana. We want to thank you for providing a delightful vacation destination. The apt. was lovely and had all the amenities we required for our 2 week holiday. The great views, the quiet and the privacy were simply sublime and a far cry from staying at a busy, impersonal, resort/hotel. The deck offered us a great way to start the day with spectacular scenery and cool breezes while listening to the birds and the ocean below. The interior of the rental was very nicely furnished, the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and the blender for frozen drinks came in very handy. We really enjoyed the views upon waking from the bedroom windows. Your hospitality was very much appreciated as were all the recommendations for things to do, beaches to visit, sailing tours and restaurants for dining out. We look forward to our next visit to A Place in Paradise! Warm regards, Michelle and Quinton Jasko

  • On short notice, we were able to book this lovely apartment for a 3 day get-away. It was perfect for us and felt more like "going native" than staying in a busy tourist compound. The apartment was very clean and fresh with a full kitchen with all the small appliances and utensils which would have been handy for a longer stay. The TV didn't get much use as we more often enjoyed the quiet and birdsong (and the abundant mangos) out on the deck with a view of the sea. We were met at the airport and the owner made sure we could find our way on the island's serpentine roadways. We were provided direction to awesome local beaches and reliable neighborhood restaurants. We were also given a recommendation for a sailboat day cruise on which we had an gourmet lunch and were guided to excellent snorkeling spots around neighboring islands. Great trip!
