Location: Pelican Beach, East End, USVI - St. Thomas, Caribbean
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths (Sleeps 6-10)
Keywords: House
Just Do It !! No more excuses, because this home offers an affordable option to renting your own home with private pool at an incredible location just above Pelican Beach. The location is on the East End of St. Thomas, just minutes from the quaint town of Red Hook and the ferry to St. John. Views towards St. John and the British Virgin Islands are amazing.
The home is within a private gate shared with only two other homes, on the knoll of a hill over beautiful Pelican Beach and adjacent to numerous other white sand beaches. Yes, you can walk to the water. You are also close enough by vehicle to choose a different beach every day, as this is a great location with easy access to everything you need.
Enter from the private drive to an inviting covered porch and pool, offering complete privacy. The pool is quite large in island standards (not just a small dipping pool), and is also handicap accessible. It offers a great mix of sun and shade along with wonderful views. From here, you can enter the home to a door into the kitchen, or around the house at the huge covered veranda that offers the views dreams are made of. The upstairs has two bedrooms and two bathrooms to accompany the outdoor living space (as that is how we prefer to live here in the Virgin Islands). The great room also has a pull out couch for extra guests.
The third bedroom is accessed via a separate outside entrance and has its own full kitchen and bathroom- a complete separate apartment. There is an additional pull out couch downstairs, so the apartment can sleep four. With this kind of setup, you could even vacation with the in-laws!!
The home is complete with Air conditioning not only in the bedrooms, but also in the great room. But with the Easterly breezes blowing, you likely won't need it. This is such a refreshing location just above the water, you will want the doors wide open while you relax on the porch soaking in the views and Caribbean wind therapy.
The home is professionally managed, so feel free to look at the link to get to additional photos on our website. Since we do this for a living, our goal is to give you the perfect vacation retreat. The owner is also on island and stays very involved with the home- keeping it up to the highest of standards.
If you are unfamiliar with this location, please feel to call or email and let me know your questions. This is about a mile from Red Hook, where there are multiple restaurants, bars, shops, and more. It is also where you catch the ferry to St. John. Very nearby beaches are Sapphire Beach and Lindquist Beach, as well as Pelican Beach. It is not a far drive to Coki Beach and Coral World (about three minutes). Mahogany Run Golf Course and Magen's Bay are about a ten minute drive. But you are right in the midst of the nicest beaches St. Thomas has to offer, yet also close to nightlife and St. John.

Best Hlouse on Island!

I used to live in St. Thomas for several years and my in laws stayed at this house once. Being a local, you get to know just about any place to stay on island and this house is the best of them all for many reasons! It is in an excellent location, the views are spectacular, and the wrap around deck makes the house! Once there you will not want to leave. Now coming back as a visitor, Sea Sound Villa is the only place we would stay! Also the pool location is great, sun all day. Also, a short walk to Lindquist beach, which is my favorite beach on island. This beach is so special to me because unless you have lived on island, as a visitor you do not know about it.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, people with disabilities, sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

We had a wonderful visit to Sea Sound three years ago and just had a return trip, Feburary, 2011. The home is fantastic, has been meticulously maintained, and is (unbelievably) even more beautiful than our visit a few years back. It is quite evident that Sea Sound is well loved and cared for. The view is second to none on the island. It is close enough to the conveniences of Red Hook that you want for nothing, but at the same time "off the beaten path".... remote and private. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our vacation time with our family and look forward to our return trip.

From the beginning to end, we loved our stay at SeaSound Villa. Laurie, who was my primary contact before I got to the villa, was extremely responsive and helpful. Denis, who is the property manager, had made sure the house was ready for us when we arrived - a/c turned on, beers in a cooler on the porch, enough towels for everyone and plenty of small water bottles in the fridge. The pool is wonderful, the view amazing, the beds comfortable and everything was very clean. There were 7 of us staying - 2 couples and 3 single friends. The one drawback is that the 3rd bedroom was in its own separate apartment, but I can barely call it a drawback. The apt is literally a short walk around the house and down a few flights of stairs. We walked to beaches from our place - 1 is called St James Beach I think and you have to take a little path, then walk along the coastline for about 5 minutes before you get to the beach. Very doable and well worth it when we saw the beach. The other one is Sapphire Beach, and this is where we went to take our day sail. If you walk down the driveway, it's only a few minutes walk to the Safari Taxis, which are $1/person to get to Red Hook, the nearest town. All of us were so glad we stayed here versus the hotels in Charlotte Amalie. It's close enough to the beaches and restaurants, but far enough from the cruise ships and their crowds. I highly recommend this place!

We (a group of seven 30 and 40 year olds) loved it! It's private (we only saw the neighbors once in three days), clean, roomy and well taken care of. Comfortable beds, AC, fans, big open kitchen fully stocked with spices and everything else. Lovely pool and deck in the sun, beautiful views of sea and islands to the north from the large shaded dining patio, relaxing hammock, lots of deck chairs. It's quite a short walk down to either Sapphire Beach (lively with amenities) or Lidquist Beach (quiet and romantic) and a short cab ride into Redhook, but we had the best time just hanging out at the villa. Laurie (the off site manager) and Denis (the local caretaker) were both extremely helpful. We'd recommend this villa to anyone.

Sea Sound Villa is a gem! It is in a great location, which is very important. The pool (which gets sun all day! and the wrap around porch are fabulous! The view of the other islands is spectacular and you are not far from the beach! All the amenities of the house are outstanding. We have been coming to St. Thomas for years and stayed in numerous hotels and rental houses, and Sea Sound Villa is the best! We will be back....

Sea Sound Villa was everything we expected and MORE!! We have rented many houses in the VI and this was by far the BEST! From the great location, only minutes from Red Hook, the house itself, the pool and the wonderful wraparound covered deck! Everything about our stay was perfect! The owner is very accommodating and available if you should need some help. The house has everything anyone would need; updated kitchen, spacious great room, large comfortable bed rooms, with en-suite baths, the pool was a perfect size, and has sun throughout the day. There is a covered porch adjacent to the pool for those of us with fairer skin. The views are spectacular and the gentle roll of the surf is delightful. We have been coming to the islands for 30 years and staying at Sea Sound made it one of our most memorable times on Island. We are planning to return to Sea Sound Villa next spring!

An idyllic place, beautiful views and setting, Sea Sound is peaceful and secluded yet with access to activities and fun. Red Hook and Sugar Bay are great places for activities and food. Emerald beach is a must; all of them very close by. Owners are very nice and accommodating. It was well worth the time spent, I have recommended it my friends.

The Perfect Get-Away

Our family has stayed at Sea Sound at least twice a year for the past 5 years. We love it! It always clean and its location, ambience, furnishings and layout are perfect for a relaxing vacation. Our favorite spot is the covered deck which has a 180 degree view extending from Lindquist Beach to Cruz Bay, St. John. Many days are lost with a good book, a little sun, dip in the pool, and cool refreshments. If we want a little beach time, it's a short walk down to the white sand and clear waters of Pelican Bay. Red Hook is a short drive if we need a few groceries or a little rum, or just a night out on the town. Can't wait to go back!
