The Island: You have come to the right island if you want to explore some of the most beautiful sights in the world, partake in virtually any water/boating activity, lounge at several of the world’s most beautiful beaches, or enjoy extraordinary restaurants.
Take day trips to St. John or the British Virgin Islands, shop in world renowned & duty-free Charlotte Amalie, golf in a Caribbean paradise at Mahogany Run, or visit the infamous Udder Delight roadside stand next to the St. Thomas Dairy for a Kahlua Milkshake ... and the list goes on and on! It’s all here for you on St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, a U.S. Territory.
The Condo:In this exquisitely decorated two bedroom condo, each room has a private furnished balcony, A/C unit, ceiling fan, cable TV, and 3 newly remodeled private bathrooms. The condo contains one king bedroom on the main floor,the 2nd bedroom is in a loft setting with 1 king bed and a queen bed in an adjoining alcove. One twin inflatable mattress with linens and electric inflate/deflate are available upon request. A port-a-crib and stroller are also available upon request. This is one of two condos that we advertise on VRBO. Click on "See All My Rental Listings" below to see our other condo.
Central to the condo is a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and living room (kitchen remodeled in December 2010), All linens are provided. As a direct guest of the owner (through this website), you will be provided the best rates and a private check-in that allows you to bypass the front-desk process.
The Resort: Come and enjoy the exclusive and immaculately manicured Elysian Beach Resort where the aqua blue Caribbean water of Cowpet Bay will be ever present in your views from the living room, the bedrooms, or any one of this exquisite condo's three private balconies.
The Elysian is located just 12.5 scenic miles from the Cyril E. King airport (STT) on the east end of St. Thomas where it rises from its secluded beach to offer a most magnificent setting tucked quietly between the Ritz-Carlton and the St. Thomas Yacht Club.
From the moment you enter the resort you will begin to relax as you discover that most all of your vacation needs can be satisfied within a few hundred feet of the condo.
Start your day with a fresh cup of coffee on one of the three balconies where you can sit in the fresh morning air and get started on that book you've been wanting to read. If coffee and a book is not your style, consider a brisk workout at the resort health club or a game of tennis on a court surrounded by palm trees.
Later in the morning, enjoy the beautifully secluded white sand beach, where, in the shade of the palm trees, you will find complimentary use of beach towels, beach furniture and a sports concession stand that offers a variety of water toys such as paddle boats, single and double kayaks, windsurfers, float-mats, and snorkeling gear.
Enjoy a quiet day on the beach while you watch the iguanas sunbathing. (See our FAQ for information about feeding the iguanas.)
After you tire of the iguanas, get up and join in one of the friendly games of beach volleyball before you visit the resort spa for a relaxing massage or sauna.
If partaking of island rum is also on your agenda, make sure to ask for the ever popular "Pain-Killer" drink invented and made famous at Soggy Dollar Bar on the island of Jost Van Dyke. (Better yet, take the ferry from Red Hook to Jost Van Dyke by way of Soppers Hole in Tortola where you can clear BVI customs ... take your passport.)
For a change of scenery, with reading material in hand, consider spending an afternoon sitting at the Elysian freshwater swimming pool; one of the most exquisitely designed and landscaped pools on the island, complete with rock grotto waterfall and hot tub.
The resort is just two miles from Red Hook, the center of St. Thomas's popular east end activity and ferry transports to the other islands in the area (USVI and BVI). In Red Hook you will also find boutiques and groceries, and several marinas where you can rent powerboats or sailboats. Red Hook also has many popular restaurants and nightclubs.
Come ... relax ... enjoy ... the Elysian Beach Resort.
When renting at the Elysian Beach Resort there are two things you absolutely need to know:
1) Are you renting a single room unit? Most of the units are 450-500 square feet. Our condo is actually three combined units with approximately 1,500 square feet in which to spread out!
2) The Elysian Beach Resort is built on a hillside. One of the most common questions we get asked is "How many stairs do I need to traverse to/from the beach and swimming pool?" Our condo is near the bottom of the hill and is one of the closest to the beach and pool, and we still have great views. We have the fewest number of stairs to traverse than anywhere else in the resort. Our unit is about a 60-second walk to the beach; the pool is closer.

The condo was just remodeled and has all new furnishings. The place is very clean and has everything we needed to stay the week and cook in. The appliances are all new and there is a safe for keeping your valuables. We really liked this condo and my wife has a bug phobia but we did not see one bug in the condo all week, amazing for a tropical island. Every room has a flat screen TV with Cable and I could run my business from here with free land line phone service and free internet access. The upper deck balcony is fantastic at night over looking the pool with friends and a cocktail!!

We just returned from the most wonderful vacation at Nancys condo. There were 4 in our party and the accomodations were way more than expected. The internet pictures are exact and upon our arrival we found that we had made the perfect choice in choosing Nancys condo. The resort is beautiful and people are very friendly. The pool and hot tub are amazing. The condo itself had everything to make it feel and operate like home. And the ocean just steps away with breathtaking views! We already miss it and next time there will be no searching the net for a place! We will call on Nancy for sure! We had the chance to explore the island in our rental car and went for a day sail on the Alaunt with Captain Ron and Carol. We highly recommend that. It was our first snorkeling experience and I'm hooked now. The food they prepared and the hospitality they extended to us was outstanding. Look them up at Alaunt Charters! Also we did a half day sport fishing trip with "About Time" Captain Frank and 1st mate Jamie. We girls were hesitant to go on this one and thought we would go shopping in Red Hook and let the guys have some male bonding time. The waters were calm that day and the guys really wanted us to go. So we did and had a ball. We would have missed one of the best vacation memories had we not gone with them. So look them up too at About Time Charters in Red Hook....and be prepared to catch some fish!!! They prepare them dockside upon your return. We enjoyed our black fin tuna and mahi-mahi that day for lunch. Talk about fresh fish!!! It was spectacular! Overall, it was a wonderful time and hard to come back reality for sure!!!

My husband and 3 children went to Nancy's condo B in late January. Never before have we had such a wonderful vacation. Nancy is a true pleasure to work with! She is a consummate professional, easy to work with, very accommodating and possesses a wealth of information. She sent us a fact sheet and instructions about her condo and the area just before our trip and that proved to be most helpful. The condo is exactly as pictured-there were no surprises. The place is spotless and right near the pool and the beach, which was a top priority for us. It is so spacious that the kids never had the opportunity to get in each other's way. We do recommend that you bring your own toiletries which are not in the condo and which are so expensive (as is food and basic items). Bring lots of sunscreen and insect repellent as well. Trunk Bay is a must and we highly recommend the VI Ecotours and Big Blue excursions, highlights of our trip. You will be most pleased staying at Nancy's condo and it will be a true vacation of a lifetime! Thanks Nancy for a memorable trip!

We were a group of 5 women on girl's getaway vacation. This condo is spacious (very), and has 3 full baths (just what 5 women need!) It is neat and clean. The kitchen had everything necessary to make a meal (except the food, of course). All of us thought the beds were comfortable, even the murphy bed. The decor is very tropical and up to date. One of the bedrooms had a bleach like smell that dissipated as the week went on but was very strong when we arrived. It would be nice to have a mat or rug just inside the door to wipe sandy feet and place sandy shoes on. The pool and grounds are well kept and beautiful. (and this is the "low season")The beach is clean and there are many chairs. The health club offers enough equipment for a good workout but the fee is high. Certainly the positives outweigh any "needs". I would definitely recommend this condo at the Elysian.

I just returned from Nancy's Condo at the Elysian Beach Resort, it was magnificent!!! I travelled with a girlfriend and our daughters. The pictures Nancy has posted are EXACTLY what the condo looks like. It was spacious and immaculate. The grounds, pool and beach are well maintained. We were lucky enough to visit during "off season" so there weren't many people there. There were days we had the pool and the beach to ourselves. The East End of St.Thomas is lovely, not as commercial & I recommend it highly. We most definitely go back to St. Thomas & stay at the Elysian, in particular...Nancy's unit...you couldn't ask for more!! Thanks Nancy for such a wonderful place!

We had a group of 3 couples and this condo was ideal for our vacation. Very spacious and comfortable for the 6 of us. There are 3 bathrooms with showers so it made it very easy for us. The best part about this is the location. It is very close to Red Hook - which is where all the action is and also where the ferry leaves to go to the other islands so it made it very convenient. There are a couple of nice restaurants just steps away from the condo on the grounds. I've stayed many times on the island in resorts and I would recommend this condo any day over one of the resorts.

Great Spring Break Vacation

Over the past few years, we've had excellent luck using vacation rentals for our lodging needs. Having two adults and three children (teens and tweens) in our family, a hotel room doesn't provide the space we need. While planning a spring break trip to St. Thomas, Nancy's Elysian beachfront condo stood out from the many others we considered. We were not disappointed with our choice. Nancy's condo provides a lot of space. It's actually three adjoining units rented as one. We received keys for the center unit which contains the kitchen, dining room, living room and laundry. The other two connected units have the bed rooms. Each unit has a balcony and bathroom. There has also been some recent remodeling including the kitchen and bathroom of the king bedroom. During our 4 night stay, we prepared most of our meals in the condo. The kitchen is very nice and is well stocked with dinner ware, cooking utensils and appliances. Be prepared for the food sticker shock in St. Thomas (example: a half gallon of milk is $5). The condo provides plenty of towels for your visit. Also, the Elysian resort provides beach towels. Thankfully, we read another review and knew to bring our own soap. (There was not even soap for hand hygiene at the bathroom sinks—so come prepared.) The Elysian resort is beautiful. It is a very peaceful atmosphere and the grounds, pool and beach were very relaxing and well maintained. All the staff was friendly and helpful. During our stay, none of the facilities seemed crowded. Also, the two restaurants on location were very nice. Nancy provides a wealth of information for your vacation (via emails, this web site and the welcome packet she mails you). One thing we were thankful to know was that a GPS (we have a Garmin Nuvi) with US maps works on St. Thomas. We arrived on St. Thomas after dark, and we relied heavily on the GPS to get us to the condo. Note: On St. Thomas, you drive on the left side of the road. During our stay did the following outings: A chartered day sail. Scuba diving. Megan's bay for sunset. Shopping at the port city of Charlotte Amalie. We highly recommend Nancy’s condo at the Elysian, and we look forward to our next visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. The location was great. Nice and quiet and away from the hustle and bustle but very convenient to Red Hook and its restaurants, shops and ferries. Not to be missed is Trunk Bay beach on St. John. It is the most beautifull beach I've ever seen and we've been to several islands in the caribbean. Among the resorts amenities are two very good restaurants. We ate at them several times. The condo itself is quite comfortable and is equipped with everything you need for your stay except soap and shampoo in the bathrooms so bring your own. The only thing I didn't like was the air conditioning unit in the master bedroom. It worked but is old and quite noisy which made sleeping difficult. I think it might need replacing.

What a great place for a family vacation! The condo had everything we needed for our one week stay. It's very bright and has nice furnishings and the bedding was really comfortable. It's a great location at the resort - we felt really comfortable having our teenage daughters go to the pool on their own and even ordering lunch at the grill on the beach. The pool, hot tub, and grounds are very well kept. We were fortunate enough to be at the condo at the same time the owners were at the resort. They were very helpful with any questions we had. Their recommendation on this website of where to go and what to do was a good guide for us. Including where to get a rental car and where to go food shopping. We had a great relaxing stay at the condo and a vacation to remember!

This was our 6th year in a row of vacationing in the Caribbean and our 3rd trip to St. Thomas. This time we took along our daughter, son in law, their almost 2 year old twins and two teenage granddaughters. The condo had plenty of room and the full kitchen was great. The beach was really nice and it was cleaned everyday. We enjoyed the pool and both restaurants. The staff was nice and polite. There is free high speed wireless, but the signal strength wasn't strong enough in the condo. I went to the lobby and was able to get on there. The highlight of our trip was the day sail with Captain Ron and Carol! It was our 3rd time going out with them and it is always a lot of fun. http://www.alauntcharters.com/ We also enjoy Latitude 18, the food is very good and they have live music almost every night. We would highly recommend renting the condo from Nancy. She made it very easy and everything was exactly as described. We will be back!
