Just spent a week at this condo with my husband and two teens. The desription is accurate-- great location, on a beautiful private beach literally steps from the condo. The condo is well maintained and has everything you would need. The owner,Bob, is available for advice or anything you might think you need. He gave plenty of helpful info even before arrival. I definitely recommend this rental and hope to return soon.

Our family of five (adult daughter, adult son & daughter-in-law) stayed in Bob's condo for two weeks, & had a great time. Bob is the best host ever, & even offered to go to the grocery store for us when I called to tell him we were having a plane delay & would arrive 5 hours late. He means it when he says he'll do whatever it takes to make your stay perfect! The location can't be beat - near a grocery store, near Red Hook with a variety of restaurants, another food market & the ferry to St. John, & near a variety of great beaches. We liked the idea that the condo was in a gated community & the beach seemed to be used by condo owners/renters only. We never had trouble finding chairs since no "cruizers" were dumped off there. The pool area is very nice (& the hot tub area was nice but in our opinion, too hot to enjoy) & we loved the beach. The view from the condo is perfect, & we loved the fact that while it's a bottom floor condo, it's 15' off the ground, so you could leave the deck doors open while away or sleeping to get the nice breezes & hear the waves & not have to worry about anyone gaining access. The condo comes with a BBQ grill, a cooler for day trips, rafts for the beach, sand castle supplies, books, games, & a fully equipped kitchen. It was perfect for the five of us. We took our car to St. John for a day & enjoyed hiking Leinster Bay trail (~ 1 mile) to reach Waterlemon Cay where the snorkeling was great - saw starfish, stingray, huge parrotfish, & other beautiful fish. This isn't a place to relax in the sand though - the beach is rocky & for snorkeling only. Trunk Bay was also incredibly beautiful & the snorkeling great. We didn't snorkel Cinnamon Bay as it was beginning to sprinkle, but it was a very nice beach, too. On St. Thomas, we tried to see as many beaches as we could, & enjoyed all but Coki where the snorkeling was good, but the peddlers made it uncomfortable. We snorkeled & left. Magen's Bay is gorgeous ($4 pp) with very nice facilities & food available. It's so big that even with a bazillion cruizers, it didn't seem crowded. The other "must see" beach is close to the condo - Lindquist Beach ($2 pp) incredibly clear, calm water, & it was almost deserted. Loved Secret Harbor & the snorkeling was great - we saw the sea turtles that live on the right side of the bay. Don't miss downtown - view from atop 99 Steps was amazing. We went to Cayman 12 years, but can't wait to go back to Bob's condo in St. Thomas!

This condo is everything you see in the photos and more. I've been vacationing on the island since 1995 and this is by far the best location, takes 30seconds from door to the beach. We had 3 kid's with us ages 4, 7 & 9 on this trip and anything they wanted from rafts, sandtoys and boardgames were already there. The condo is clean, had great water pressure for showering, confortable crossbreezes and amazing views. We'll be back, as well as recommend to any family and friends who make future trips to St. Thomas. Thank You Again for an amazing vacation!

My husband, twin daughters and I arrived just as "Emily" was passing the Island. Bob communicated the weather updates to us via e-mail giving us peace of mind for our travels even before getting on the plane. The condo was great! Everything you would need Bob has provided right down to a cooler for the beach. Bob shares a wealth of information right away which really helped us plan our days. The girls didn't want to leave. Bob, we'll be watching your calendar for next year! The Miethkes Dripping Springs Texas

Let me start by saying Bob(owner) and Patrica were sooo nice and helpful. Bob took me down to the local fisherman and I bought a 6 lb hunk of kingfish, grilled it up and it was fantastic! Told us where to shop for the cheapest food on the island. Great, great people! Now the condo, its fantastic, pool and hot tub are fantastic! Condo is large and roomy, clean and comes with everything you need to have a great time! Beach is quiet, beautiful, clean and a good family atmosphere. Great snorkeling off the left end of the beach. I saw a nurse shark twice, got some sweet video. Saw a see turtle, two rays, found two huge starfish that my kids wanted to take home but we put back. Found a few sand dollars. There are rentals down on the left which is awesome! Spent 10 days total and didnt want to leave. Definitely going back next year! Would highly recommend this condo to anyone family or not of all ages! You wont regret it Remember to rent a car for your stay, Taxis will bleed you dry on a week or longer stay. Bob can help you with that too!

Our family of five just returned from our first trip to St. Thomas - June 16-June 22, 2011. Bob's condo in Cowpet Bay was very comfortable, all the amemities you could think of plus so much more (beach chair, beach toys, cooler, ect). The family feel is evident at Bob's place: games and books for the family to enjoy - prior guests even left behind a few beverages in the fridge and unopened snacks for us. We continued that tradition by leaving a few "things" behind! The pictures don't do this place justice - especially the view! The balcony was shaded from early afternoon on - which was enjoyable. The warm Carribean breeze and the ocean sounds were so relaxing. The private beach was just that - private!! I don't think we saw more than five others on the beach with us at any given time. The pool/hot tub were fantastic. The location of Bob's unit is PERFECT!! Truly steps to the beach, and very near the pool, also. Bob is the perfect host! He couldn't have been any more accomodating! He greeted us soon after our arrival: answered any questions we had about his place, then offered many suggestions for our stay (beaches, dining, traveling to St. John, shopping, snorkeling, etc). On St. Thomas we enjoyed Linquist (Smith Bay) the most and even recreated our own version of the Corona beer commercial that was shot there. We also spent time at Coki, Sapphire and Emerald beaches. Don't miss Magen's Bay Beach, just try and visit on a non-cruise ship day. The view of Magen's from The Mountain Top is worth the drive. Charlotte Amalie is a fun stop, again just avoid the cruise ship days! Great burgers, fabulous service at Coconuts downtown. The pizza on the second floor of American Yacht Harbor (above Coco Blue) in Red Hook was great! The close proximity of Cowpet Bay to Red Hook made our jaunts to St. John easy. We transported our rented jeep by barge to enjoy the beaches and mountian views of St. John (favorite beaches were: Honeymoon(short 15 min. hike), Trunk, & Cinnamon, but Hawksnest was our overall favorite). Don't miss the views along the way - definitnely worth the stop! We hope to return OFTEN to St. Thomas/St. John and hope to stay at Bob's place again, and again!

Our family of five (children ages 13, 11, and 9) enjoyed eight wonderful nights at Bob's condo. Some things worth noting... the placement is such that you have morning sun but then have nice shaded balcony for the afternoon, which is lovely; the location right on the beach is awesome--kids could head to the water any time; the view from the balcony is truly stunning (palm trees waving in the breeze, gorgeous turquoise water, white sand); it is a quiet beach which we just loved (always plenty of chairs available); fully equipped kitchen--great since we cooked a bunch; plenty of sand/beach toys available for kids, plus puzzles, cards; location close to Red Hook was great for catching the ferry to St. John or going boating (close to Sapphire Beach Marina, too); two good restaurants--Robert's American Grille for fine dining or Ainsley's for casual--right there (chef Kevin, who owns both, can accommodate food allergies, by the way!); the condo itself has a comfortable and laid-back feel... Bob is such a great guy. He stopped by the first evening to show us around the condo and even picked up my husband the next morning to show him how to reach the hospital (son with life-threatening peanut allergy so needed to know). You know that saying, 'if it seems too good to be true, it probably is'? That's NOT the case with Bob's condo. What you see is what you get, and my husband thanked me endlessly for choosing such a great place.

My wife, our 2 teen-age sons, and I just returned from Bob's condo. We had a great time, and I can echo the many positive comments of the other reviewers. Bob was most helpful, including helping us arrange for a rental jeep when rentals were difficult to find. The condo location right on the water is among the best at Cowpet, and the unit had everything our family needed for a one week stay. The nearby restaurant (Robert's) was excellent, and our family very much enjoyed the beach and pool. Highly recommended!

This is the best vacation spot on St. Thomas. Right on the beach, with the best access in the complex. Bob is the perfect, most accommodating host; if I had not experienced it, I would say to good to be true. My wife and I stayed with our three daughters the last two weeks in July and had a blast. If you're considering this rental, don't think twice - you will not regret it! As I told Bob when we left, this is the only place I would consider when returning to St. Thomas. Thanks Bob!!
