  This perfectly-sized house upon a hill has everything you need for an island getaway. The view is first and foremost...perfect. The location is great,,secluded but close enough to everything..and not to be bothered by anyone. The bedroom is gorgeous and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is big and wide and open. And the living room is just right for lounging i the evening. The wrapparound balcony is great for hanging out and grilling dinner. My girlfriend i knew from the moment we arrived, it would be difficult leavng, not just St Thomas, but this house! We will definitely be returning someday

  Owner response: My husband and I both enjoy making sure that all our guests are well taken care of, and that they truly have a memorable experience while staying here at Hawks' View in St. Thomas. THANKS SCOT!!! We look forward to seeing you both again too!!

  My husband and I stayed here at Hawk's View on St. Thomas for one week for our anniversary. We had a great time. The apartment has all the comforts and conveniences of home, which is great since you can eat some meals at home and not have to eat out all the time. The view is breathtaking. There are several beaches nearby and shopping is minutes away. The hosts are very friendly and helpful but don't intrude or watch over you. The rates are reasonable compared to other accommodations. I think it is the best value on the island. If you've never been to St. Thomas, prepare to drive on the opposite side of the road, and the mountain roads are steep with sharp turns (but no real drop off cliffs or anything like that). We recommend that you take a GPS. The apartment has everything you will need, just take your clothes and toiletries!

  We stayed at hawk's nest for 8 nights and absolutely loved it there !! After we landed and Thrifty stopped answering their phone,I got a call from Theresa looking for us.she picked us up at the airport and drove us to thrifty and then followed her to grocery store and then to hawks nest. Stepping out and seeing the view of Magen's bay,just totally awed!! Pictures don't do it justice. Ed and Theresa helped us unload car,and then Ed showed us our home for the week. Very clean and everything looks brand new! Ed and Theresa are the nicest people you'll ever meet. They'll help you any way you want or need. We never ate out as after our days of island hopping or at beach, we wanted to get home relax and enjoy the view! Especially the days when Bruce Springsteen had a yacht on Magen's !! Ed,Theresa, thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home!!!

  What a great vacation! Soo much of it due to "Hawks Nest". It's a great villa with all the amenities you could want. We felt at home the minute we arrived and after two weeks, we didn't want to leave. It was great to wake up in the morning with windows open, a gentle breeze and such an amazing view. This was our first trip to the V.I. and after experiencing "island prices", this villa is a great vaue. Thanks to Theresa and Ed for giving us our privacy but also being attentive if we needed help. Again, a geat time with great hosts.

  Our trip (myself and my fiance) to St Thomas got off to a rough start when our flight out of Minneapolis was severely delayed, causing us to miss our connection to St. Thomas--as a result we would be arriving at 10:30 pm instead of 4pm. Since Theresa and Ed had kindly offered to meet us at the airport, I called to share the bad news, feeling bad that we'd now likely be keeping them up. Ed answered the phone, and said "Chris, my advice would be for you to chill out and have a beer. Relax. We'll pick you up no matter what time you get here." I knew right then we were in with good people. The view from Hawks View is AMAZING, and I've seen a fair amount of the world. And the inside of the apartment was also phenomenal--the pics on the this site don't do it justice. Its very modern, roomy, well lit and extremely well maintained. It was very peaceful and quiet where they are located both day and night--save for the sounds of the wind and waves below. Ed and Theresa were both also more than we hoped for. They were very friendly, let us know to ask if we needed anything and just seemed like genuinely good/nice people. That being said, they also gave us total privacy. Going into this trip I was wondering if I would want to have stayed closer to the water (its about a 7 min drive to the beach)....I'm glad we didn't. The water front, while pretty, is also often loud, lots of people and commotion going on. This place allowed very easy access, with an amazing view (and sound!) of the water without all the potentially drawbacks of staying right on it. We covered darn near every inch of that island the week that we were there--and the more accommodation options I saw--the more I knew we had picked the right spot. If I were (and we may!) to go back St Thomas, I wouldn't waste one second looking at other options--I'd go right back there because I know we couldn't beat it. All the claims they make hold up, and I'd say the review they give of their own place is very modest--it's all that they say and much more. Thanks for everything guys, it wouldn't have been the same trip if we didn't end up with you!

  My husband and I were lying around on a Sat. morning discussing what we might want to do during his vacation week which started that day. He had taken a week off to sequence Christmas lights to music. It takes many hours to choreograph the lights to the music and my husband said he could do it anywhere . . . at home or even in St. Thomas. Well, you can imagine that I jumped at the opportunity to head to St. Thomas! From the start of concept to our arrival a mere 24 hours later, none of it would have been possible if it were not for our wonderful hosts, Ed and Theresa, who graciously opened their rental apt. to us in the off season, and with very little warning. We arrived to a spotless rental apt. Theresa met us at the airport and offered any help to us that we might need. We had a gorgeous view of Magens Bay and got up each morning to walk the beach and swim before the sun got too high in the sky. It was a very relaxing vacation. As new empty-nesters (our youngest child started college in August), we really enjoyed being spontaneous and shocked our three children as well as our friends and family with our impromptu vacation. Thank you, Ed and Theresa, for making our dream a reality. We’ll always look back on this trip with a smile.

  Owner response: Thank you for your kind words! It was not a problem at all to open up the apartment to welcome you! If at any other time in the future you feel "spontaneous".... and need to "light up your life"... we would love to see you here again at Hawks' View! Hope you enjoyed your time here in St. Thomas! All the best, Edward and Theresa

  We have never seen a more complete accomodation in a more ideal location. Every need was satisfied not only with what we needed to live comfortably but the friendship and willingness to assist in any way possible by Theresa and Ed. As an example, when we were leaving for church our rental car would not start. Theresa contacted the rental company, Ed met the company service man and led him to Hawk's View while Theresa offered to drive us to church. They are just amazing people who we are happy to call friends. The location is 700' above Magens Bay Beach with an unobstructed view of the beautiful bay. In the morning there is nothing more relaxing and stress-releasing than to sit on this deck and just enjoy the peace and quiet. Thank you Ed and Theresa. Looking forward to next year.

  What can we say....this is our 3rd stay at Hawks View and each time it just gets better and better!!! Ed and Theresa are the greatest hosts. Their apartment is very clean and beautiful and the views from the deck are breathtaking! We would take our coffee outside and sit at the high top table and take in Megan's Bay which is right below. You could sit for hours out there. You can see alot of the other islands from there also which is very beautiful. It is very centrally located to everything; but you should rent a car so you can get around this whole beautiful island. There is a gas grill which we used alot and Ed and Theresa made sure you had everything you needed to prepare meals if that's what you chose to do. All of the beach supplies are there from coolers, chairs, towels, snorkling equipment, etc. They didn't miss anything. It was so quite at night since it is in a gated community; all you heard was the water below and the wind in the trees. Thank you so much for our wonderful vacation and the time spent at your home. Love Sue & Ray Mentor, Ohio

  My partner, Steve, and I stayed at Hawk's View for a week. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful place to stay or more gracious and thoughtful hosts! When you step out on your deck each morning and are surrounded by tropical foliage and are looking out on one of the most beautiful beaches (Magen's Bay) in the world, you know you've chosen the right place to stay in St. Thomas! The view is simply breathtaking. Theresa and Ed have thought of everything when it comes to the apartment. Besides the full kitchen (which we loved), the apartment also had a cooler, beach chairs, water noodles, beach towels, and snorkeling equipment. There was nothing we needed for the beach that wasn't provided. We never would have had all of that if we had stayed at a hotel. The apartment itself is tastefully decorated, well-thought-out, comfortable, and very clean. There were also some DVDs and CDs there for our use, which was a nice touch. Theresa and Ed also provided us with excellent restaurant recommendations and helped us with directions. We so appreciated all of their help and hospitality! This was truly one of the best vacations we've ever had, and staying at Hawk's View played a big part in our experience. If you choose to stay here, you will most definitely be glad that you did. Note: Definitely rent a car if you stay here. It will definitely be more convenient and cost effective than trying to take cabs. Scott Chicago, IL
