One long-distance look past the pool out at the sparkling panorama of the majestic British Virgin Islands and Linquist Beach below will stop you in your tracks. Our main pavilion on one side is comprised of a Great Room with cathedral ceiling, an open-plan kitchen, a dining area, and a large shady covered great porch just off the pool, accessible via slider doors from the main pavilion.
The kitchen is clad in granite countertops and handsome cabinetry, and offers almost all cookware and chef's tools you'll need to create a great meal, if the spirit moves you. The open kitchen also commands superb views along with great year long trade-wind breezes, a perfect area for having that special island cocktail and keeping the cook company. The outdoor patio areas feature that soothing sea vista and lights on St John at night, comfortable chairs and alfresco dining make this spot a favorite. The tiled deck continues to the infinity-edge pool, set with chaise lounges for reading while working on your island tan.
On the back side of the sun deck is the villa's private guesthouse with king bedroom and full bath and private porch area. The villa is fronted by tropical plantings and vivid flowers. The upper Master suite is done in a soothing peach Caribbean color,and also features its own small covered verandah which overlooks the BVI’s and near 300 degree views, a great spot to enjoy your morning coffee and watch the parrots soar by. Ensuite baths are tiled and feature cool tiled floors and large showers with an ocean views.
The villa’s polished interiors employ such artful use of light, color and pleasing choices of fabric,and accessories. The decor at this villa has a very comfortable island flair, you can be completely at ease, yet have all the comforts of home. Its desirable East End location is very close to several excellent white sand beaches and water sports, from day sails and diving to parasailing, jet skiing and kayaking, just a few minutes drive will get you to something new to do or see every day.
The sparkling ocean view fades as the sun sets, and memorable sunsets mark the end of each sun-filled day. The villa has much to offer and is conveniently located with easy access to Red Hook, St John ferry, restaurants and night-life, minutes to World renowned “Magens Bay”, "Coral World" or play golf at “Mahogany Run” golf course.

Why the Owner Chose Smith Bay
We came to St Thomas years ago and fell in love with the beautiful beaches and water and decided to purchase a lot here. Well, after four very long and stress-filled years we have our Island Home. Our daughters soon made wonderful friends and life long contacts and always hate to leave.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
Can you say "MILLION DOLLAR VIEW" never fails to please.

Thank you for sharing your villa with us, it's a fabulous home, everything the pictures display and more. We enjoyed the views from the deck every morning and had a great view of the Fourth of July fireworks at St John. The home is designed so that there are great gathering spaces yet privacy if you want it. It is easy to get to the beaches and the beach chairs were perfect! Red Hook is quick and easy to get to take the ferry or for dinner. The fruit trees in the yard were an unexpected suprise. Thanks for being so helpful with our vacation, we would recommend your place to anyone!

Jaw-dropping Views!!

We have always had a good luck renting houses, but usually the house doesn’t quite live up to the pictures. In this case, the pictures, which are fantastic, DO NOT DO THIS PLACE JUSTICE! Your home is stunning! This was my first trip to the Caribbean and the view was absolutely jaw-dropping, even after a week of sightseeing on 5 islands, the view from the house was the best!! Having coffee on the deck in the morning with the sunrise was amazing and having a late night swim with the kids, after a day of sightseeing, looking over the island when all the lights start coming on was just simply wonderful! The yard is private. There are only 2 neighboring houses visible, but the houses are not close and you can only see them from certain sections of the deck. There are woods all around the house. You feel very safe and secluded. The house is clean and well maintained. Each bedroom is big with a private bathroom and direct access to a porch or balcony with that jaw-dropping view. We brought our kids, high school and college age, and my parents in their 70’s. The house worked out perfect for us and we feel it would work out perfect for people with younger kids as well or for all adults. The house is within 4 minutes of Coki, Sapphire, and Lindquist beaches. We kept the supplied beach chairs and coolers (which we stocked with cold drinks every morning) in the rental van, and that was very convenient, but also saved some money. BUT, do get a smoothie from the awesome waiter at Coki beach! They were so delicious! Lastly, the service was great. We got off the plane at about 9:15 pm, with Jamie’s cell phone number in hand and when we called he answered right away. We agreed to meet at Wendy’s and we promptly got lost and called him back. He came a got us! He took us to the grocery store, waited for us to shop, brought us to the house, and showed us around. He was great! It was truly an amazing vacation and we will have so many wonderful memories. The snorkeling was so much fun and just swimming in the ocean there is spectacular. We are from Maine and if your feet don’t go numb in the water here you’re lucky! My wife kept telling us you won’t believe how warm the water is. Well, we believe her now! We got home received the security deposit back promptly…it was an awesome experience!! Thank you again Steve for sharing your home with us!!

FANTASTIC VILLA!!!

Spectacular views & great location!! When you first arrive and walk up the stairs to the entry and turn around to see the view, it takes your breath away! The villa is decorated with a casual island feel and has large bedrooms and bathrooms. Every room has that amazing view. The property is well maintained and the house is clean. It is everything we expected and more!! Everything is provided for trips to the beach. We enjoyed Magens Bay. A day trip on the ferry to St. John is a must as well as a charter trip to the BVIs! We enjoyed relaxing in the pool while looking out at Tortola, Jost Van Dyke and St. John. The house is conveniently located to everything you would want to do - 10 minutes to Red Hook/ferries; 10 minutes to Magens Bay; 15-20 minutes to Charlotte Amalie; 10 minutes to grocery store (we found 2-Marina Market in Red Hook and another one past Red Hook which we went to the most. It has everything you can think of). We enjoyed grilling steaks on the grill and eating out at serveral restaurants in Red Hook and Charlotte Amalie! The view, gentle breezes and smell of plumeria in the air made this the perfect island getaway! Thank you to Steve and Diane for sharing your home. We will definetly be back!

This place is AMAZING!!!! My husband rented this villa for my 40th birthday. The villa has everything that you will need for the villa, pool and beach. Having a pool house was perfect for us. Our best friends stayed out in the pool house.. It gives everyone privacy. The house would be GREAT for a family. The owners are GREAT to work with. We had a WONDERFUL vacation and I had a UNFORGETTABLE 40th birthday. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Girls trip to St. Thomas

Review Submitted: 03/30/11
How do I begin? The villa was incredible. The view was more than spectactacular (breathtaking). The propety was very well maintained and very very clean. And the location was the best--just far enough from Charlotte Amalie.The girls were not into snorkeling or sailing, but a couple of our guests were and these activities were just minutes away. The boat to St.John was only 10 min. away and an easy commute. We had only one little problem and it was taken care of immediately. We just can't say enough how comfortably we were there. It was like "home away from home"

The Great Escape

Our Thanksgiving get-a-way this year is one we will never forget. Escaping the chill of the Mid-Atlantic coast to a slice of paradise was by far, one of the better decisions we have made. This house, with all the amenities and extras, made our stay on St Thomas most enjoyable and memorable. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious, and the kitchen was well stocked. Kicking back after a “hard day” at the beach by grilling some steaks or burgers on the gas grill and enjoying our beverage of choice, was a great way to cap off another day in paradise. Wonderful location, FANTASTIC VIEWS, and a house that felt like home...thanks Steve and Diane… for sharing this with us.

This is a beautifully decorated, inside and out, new property with a fantastic view of the ocean. It is very well maintained and spotlessly clean. You can easily accommodate 6 people; the guest house is wonderful and even has a small kitchen and large bathroom. All our needs, down to hairdryers and sunscreen were met! It is a short ride to many beaches and activities. We especially enjoyed the para-sailing!!! Be sure to take the ferry to St. John for some fun at the beach, shopping in town and great food! Thank you for a fantastic week!

The owners have built the most beautiful home on the most beautiful location. The views are breath taking and the lovely breezes are so refreshing, as you look out over the Caribbean. You can see so many islands, which include St. John, Tortolla, Jost Van Dyke, just to name a few; but there appears to be a 100 smaller islands dotting the sea below. The house is decorated beautifully, with lovely pastels for colors and simple island decor. You can be in Red Hook in 5 minutes or down at Linquist beach in even less. The owner supplied snorkel masks and beach chairs, so the place was really lacking nothing. It's a romantic setting, with a deliciously refreshing pool to relax in as you take in the spectacular view. This place is 5 stars all the way! Thank you Steve for sharing your place with us.

Steve, thank you for the wonderful vacation. My family of six stayed at the villa the week of July 18th. We found it to be simply a gorgeous home, and I doubt there is a better vista available on the island. The home is perfect for a family, with abundant privacy and yet an intimate family room and kitchen for the family gatherings. The infinity pool and deck is welcoming at the end of a day at the beach or at sail, and we all looked forward to having a drink together there as the sun set and the clouds scudded across the bay illuminated by the Caribbean moon. Entrancing. We would love to stay with you again in the future.
