Estate Nazareth is a slice of paradise
Saint Thomas has always been the busiest of the Virgin Islands, but if you're looking for seclusion, you can still find it. Tucked away down in the south-east corner, you'll find a bunch of Estate Nazareth vacation rentals just moments from the beach. Days are easy here. After a little tropical fruit and coffee, you can wander barefoot down to the white sand, string up a hammock and hop between a good book and the refreshing ocean. That said, while it might feel remote, if you've got a rental car you're not far from the buzzy capital Charlotte Amalie and everything else the island has to offer.
Historical forts at Estate Nazareth
It might surprise you, but Saint Thomas is dotted with historic buildings. When the Danish arrived in the 17th century, they got busy building imposing forts and castles. Years later, they were used as lookout points by Edward Teach, more commonly known as Blackbeard, the infamous pirate who sailed the Caribbean seas plundering and raiding other boats and settlements. History buffs won't be disappointed with a visit to these hilltop spots. Alternatively, you can wander past the tropical trees and flowers at the 2.5-acre St. Peter Greathouse Estate & Gardens.

Gentle giants at Estate Nazareth
The Virgin Islands have long been known as one of the top spots for scuba diving. When you don a mask and flippers to delve into the deep, you'll know why. However, you don't need to have your PADI to enjoy the archipelago's marine life. If you hop on one of the daily whale-watching tour boats, you'll have the chance to get face-to-face with these gentle giants of the sea, who migrate to the warm waters of the Caribbean to raise their calves. While you're there, it's not uncommon to spot playful bottlenose dolphins jumping in the boat's wake. Just remember to bring your camera.
