VRBO Bear enjoying Casa Bougainvillea's verandah
VRBO Bear stayed here - 10/30/2004 Casa Bougainvillea on St. Thomas is a fabulous place to gather with a group of family or friends and enjoy a Caribbean vacation. The villa is ideally situated to both protect your privacy, yet offer great waterfront views.
Everyone will enjoy the fresh water pool and the large deck area (featuring plenty of sun or shade choices). The spacious and open great room is the perfect gathering spot... open the sliding doors to catch the cooling ocean breezes, or crank up the AC... your choice. Enjoy watching the sailboats from your covered verandah.
The gazebo features a gas BBQ so you can grill up a mouth watering steak or seafood feast (there are many fine restaurants nearby as well, for those nights when you just don't feel like cooking). The adults in your party will enjoy the choice of 3 master bedroom suites (one even has a private outdoor shower)
Oh... one more thing, on a moonless night, the view of the Caribbean stars is amazing...
Signed, The VRBO Bear

Map & Owner's Profile
Exclusive-Beachfront Villa, Luxury on the Water's Edge
Year Purchased: 1998
Why the Owner Chose Cabrita Point
We purchased Casa Bougainvillea as a place we would eventually like to live. St Thomas is such a wonderfful island with all the fine dining and great beaches. There are also surprisingly lots of cultural activities to take advantage of. The water sports are refreshing and can be exhilerating and the best sailing in the world happens in the BVI, just a short hop from Red Hook. The community spirit we have enjoyed while on extended visits to St. Thomas and Casa-B have reassured us we have chosen wisely for our future home in paradise.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa on the beach/Pool
When we have to make a meal decision it is a dilemna. If we are alone at Casa-B, there are many nights that a simple salad becomes a feast for us. We have had many great family events occur at Casa-B because that is why we share our time and experiences with family and friends. The latest large family gathering was the marriage of our son on St. Thomas. What more could a person ask for.
Owner's Map of Cabrita Point
As a dentist I am always in the middle of a stressful situation. When I visit Casa-B in St. Thomas, the cares and worries seem to melt away as the wheels of the airliner touch down on the runway. We are avid sailors and the proximity of Casa-B to water has enhanced our lives as we enjoy every afternoon sitting on our own special patch of beach in the best place in the world, St. Thomas.
The sound of the surf as it slides up on the rocks and coral can make anyone forget where they have come from and allows you to just relaxrelaxrelax.
