We have bananas, papaya, mango, passion fruit, avocado, and the occasional pineapple growing on the grounds. Bougainvillea, frangipani, night blooming jasmine, and other flowers fill the air with sweet aromas. Agave cactus, thatch palms, flamboyant, mahogany, and coconut trees complete the picture, keeping us ever mindful of our good fortune in 'America's Paradise.'

Just perfect

We loved our stay at Hull Bay Cottages. The place was clean, had the most perfect view and our hosts, were fantastic. George and Amalia (owners/hosts) were accessible if you wanted/needed them, but weren't at all invasive. The location was ideal and we couldn't have been happier. Pros: Incredible view; great, off-the-beaten path location; kind and knowledgeable hosts; clean; George does a pre-arrival grocery shop for you; they greet you and escort you to the property from the airport; peaceful and quiet...we could go on. Cons (and they are very small and incidental): the water pressure is not great in the shower...but this is to conserve water, which we understand. The pool was not usable while we were there (it was empty). This was a great spot and if we return to St. Thomas, we'll surely be back!
Owner response:Regretfully the pool needed work and we chose this time to get it done.

Perfect Relaxing Vacation

Review Submitted: 12/27/11
My husband and I spent 3 nights at Hull Bay Cottages in early December 2011 before we started a one week sailing trip. We thought it offered everything we were looking for, the views from the deck were beautiful. George met us at the airport so we could follow him up to the property and he made a grocery run for us so we had a few items when we arrived. George and Amalia are very gracious hosts. I have recomended it to serveral people looking for the perfect vacation. I hope to book again in the near future.
Owner response:It was great having you and Denis stay with us. We're so happy we had the opportunity to share our good fortune with you and look forward to seeing you again next year. Thank you for the kind words about your experience with us. Warm tropical regards, George.

Our trip to St. Thomas was the most amazing and relaxing vacation we've ever had and George and Amalia helped make that happen! George was prompt in all of his responses, we received superior assistance and information prior to and after our arrival, George met us at the airport and guided us up the narrow and winding road to his hilltop retreat and we snacked on the most amazing Mango bread, compliments of Amalia. They were the perfect hosts - there when you need them and not there when you don't! :) Our cottage view was heavenly and we found it difficult to leave the deck. We rented a car and enjoyed driving around the island - we also took the ferry (and the jeep) over to St. John and enjoyed a day there. We relaxed, we went to Magen's Bay, we cooked a little and ate out a little, and we have gained new friends in George and Amalia. Enjoy Hull Bay beach - it's close and convenient. Magen's Bay has a $10 charge to enter (during certain times) but it is well worth it - easy to see why it is one of the world's top beaches! The island is hilly but we drove downtown every morning and went for a run along the water. Caution - keep left. We will return and we will stay at Hull Bay - we recommend you do the same. Thanks for such a wonderful trip, George and Amalia!!
Owner response:Thanks for choosing to stay with us Heather, it was wonderful being ableto share our good fortune with you and Scott. Thank you also for the wonderful comments, we love being remembered for the right reasons. Please stay well and Scott please stay safe. We look forward to your return sometime after your deployment ends. Semper fi Warm tropical regards, George

My husband and I renewed our wedding vows on the cottage deck...the view is more than spectacular!! The pictures do not do the place justice. The cottage was the perfect size with a constant cool breeze...no air conditioning needed. The hospitality above all was worth our trip. George met us at the airport, helped us with our car rental, and had our groceries waiting for us upon our arrival. We will be back!! I highly recommend the cottage rental as oppossed to the resort experience. You get a true feel of the local living and get to make some great friends. I can't thank George enough for the memories, the location, and the great experience! This trip will never be forgotten!
Owner response:Thanks so much for the great review Kathy. It was wonderful to be able to share our good fortune with you and Tom. thank you for beng such great guests, for taking such good care of the cottage and, most importanly, for the great memories you left with us. We look forward to your return. Warm tropical regards, Amalia and George

Absolutly Amazing Experience

Review Submitted: 04/19/11
Our stay was wonderful. It all started by being picked up from the airport by George, just like old friends. He even made the first Grocery shopping for us, so we could start our vacation the minute we arrived. The View from the Cottage is breathtaking. The Cottage itself is decorated in a carribean style, that makes you feel comfortable right away. We just loved the blue bedroom. With everything you could wish for available from a fully equiped kitchen to the snorkling equipment and Beachchairs. George and Amalia even organised Beachtoys and a Babybed for our little son. We are glad we picked the place up on the hill and altough you need a car the location is a perfect starting point to get to every Point on the Island easily. It's 10 Minutes to wonderful Megans Bay and about 15-20 Min to Town. And you come back and have your peacfull quiet Blacony with the most Amazing view. (The pictures can't quite show how beautiful and colorfull it really is). We also got insider information about great Restaurants which were outside the Touristspots. We higly recommend Hull Bay Cottages and are more then willing to come back soon.

Winter Respite

Review Submitted: 02/16/11
"Wonderful Winter Respite" We enjoyed a wonderful week at Hull Bay Cottages. As a respite from the cold and snow of winter we planned a quiet relaxing and warm stay. Our apartment at Hull Bay gave us exactly what we needed. It was very clean, nicely decorated, and cozy with a view of Hull Bay that was fantastic. (We personally preferred the coziness of the apartment over the cottages on the property.) Our hosts were very accomodating, always there to help. (Even with jumper cables when I left our rental car lights on over night) One note of caution, though, prepare to travel on steep narrow roads and adjust your thinking--they drive on the left!
Owner response:Thank you Ken, it was wonderful having you and Sherry staying with us. We're so glad you enjoyed your time on the island and we look forward to sharing our good fortune with you again. Warm tropical regards, Amalia and George

What a wonderful experience! I absolutely cannot say enough about this place. George and Amalia (and Precious) are amazing hosts, the views from the property are spectacular (even the parking spot was amazing!) and the apartment had everything needed for a perfect getaway. I traveled solo and was completely comfortable and relaxed at all times. George and Amalia picked me up at the airport and provided excellent directions for anyplace I needed to go. Additionally, as St. Thomas is their home, they had the inside story on all locations and doings. Their kindness, grace, and knowledge made my trip better than anything I could have hoped for. This place is absolutely beautiful - and true story, as I arrived a rainbow was in the sky over the property...can't say it any better than that! Thank you for a wonderful week! Truly look forward to coming back as soon as possible
Owner response:Thanks so much Jennifer, it was wonderful having you stay with us and we're thrilled that you had such a great time. We look forward to sharing our good fortune with you again. Warm tropical regards, Amalia and George

We stayed very recently in one of the apartments overlooking the great ocean and the surrounding islands, and leaving this place was the most painful thing we have ever done. Yet the soul of this magnificent place is embodied by Amalia and George with their genuine hospitality and gracious service. We can never stay anywhere else again when we go back to St. Thomas which is what we hope to do as soon as we possibly can. In deep gratitude and appreciation.
Owner response:Thank you Hans and Anke, you were wonderful guests and we greatly appreciate your kind words. We love to be remembered for the right reasons and look forward to your next stay with us. Warm tropical regards, George

The cottage was perfect! The views really are breathtaking. Better than many spots we drive to on the island. It was clean, just enough room, and a nice breeze with no mosquitos. Made meals in the well eqipped kitchen to save money. Ate dinners on the deck watching the sunset. Relaxed and watched all the movie channels free. Great WIFI connection to get online. Very centrally located to beaches, yet plenty of privacy. Snorkle gear provided worked perfect. Owners were kind, hospitable and respectful. Thanks George and Amalia for making this trip to St. Thomas the best!
