Million Dollar View

- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:No
A great alternative to high priced hotels and resorts, this affordable, cozy one bedroom apartment has a view of Magens Bay to die for.
Centrally located high up on the lush north side of St. Peter Mountain, the tropical breezes are refreshingly cooler here than at sea level, and you can enjoy a sundowner on your spacious deck while you wait for the moon to rise over the British Virgin Islands.
At night the musical songs of the tree frogs will complete the tropical ambiance, and in the morning the rising sun will greet yet another perfect day in paradise as you enjoy your coffee on the deck and search for Iguanas sunning themselves in the treetops below. Tropical flowers, such as Angel Trumpets, Gingers, Heliconias and Torches surround you, and bird watching here is superb, with Red Tailed hawks, Green Parrots, and Hummingbirds among others.
Of course, you are also just minutes away from world class shopping in colorful Charlotte Amalie, and at the doorstep of some of the finest beaches and snorkeling in the world. Go out exploring or just relax all day on a beach towel at Magens Bay, rated one of the top ten beaches in the world!
At the end of a long, full day of one of the best vacations you will ever have, you know that you have your own little hideaway to come home to on St. Peter Mountain, you can bathe in pure rainwater that has been heated by the sun by the new solar collector and melt into the queen-size bed. Come join us.

Just returned from a wonderful visit to St Thomas. The apartment, with your own private entrance, is INCREDIBLY CLEAN and new with a spacious modern bathroom, large bedroom (with HUGE closets) and fully equipped kitchen. The owners/hosts were fantastic - very friendly and super helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone who is picky about where they stay. The view is stunningly breathtaking!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, adventure seekers, age 55+.

My wife and I found the Million Dollar View to not only be an adequate place to stay, but also a real delight. It was clean, bright, tastefully appointed, and thoughtfully equipped. Everything we needed for creature comfort was there. We cooked complete meals while we stayed, and had fun doing it as all the essential gear for meal preparation was there. The view is postcard perfect, and in our opinion the northside (where the house is located) is the prettiest part of the island. Just as delightful as the apartment were the hosts. Bob and Diane made us feel welcome and at ease from the get go. They know the island, know the ways of the people there, and their recommendations on places to eat, things to do, location and directions to great beaches are spot on. Simply delightful!!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing.

A friend and I stayed here back in October for a "girls getaway" and couldn't have been happier with everything. Diane was a delight from the moment she met us at the top of the driveway to the time we returned our keys. She was always available to answer any questions we had, but also gave us all the privacy we needed. The apartment surpasses what you expect from the pictures. It is a charming, inviting, extremely clean, and entirely cozy little place with everything you could need during your stay. And all of this is topped off with your "million dollar view!" We cannot recommend Diane and Robert or their property highly enough. We would love to stay here any time we come back to St. Thomas.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, age 55+, sightseeing.

I don't think you will find a more beautiful spot that Bob and Diane's Million Dollar View apartment. Not only is the view spectacular, but those breezes on the north side come right onto the deck and into the apartment....we didn't need air conditioning while there (although we did downtown and on other parts of the island). The owners couldn't have been sweeter and gave us all kinds of suggestions...where to eat, swim, snorkel....even happy hours (of which there were many). The apartment is adorable, with everything you need....we LOVED it there and won't stay anywhere else in the future (we already made reservations six months out....yeaaaah)Recommended for: Romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

Bob and Diane were such great hosts for our honeymoon stay at Million Dollar View. They were very helpful in giving advice on where to go and what to do as well as asking if we needed anything. The room was a perfect size for us and very well kept. They are certainly not lying about the view, it was amazing and the sunsets were incredible from the deck. At first the directions may seem daunting but after the first day we were able to navigate back to the condo with no help from the GPS. The parking was a little tough to get used to as it was right on the road but we had no issues. Can't wait to come back for another stay!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 3/3

My husband and I just got home from a fantastic week in Bob and Diane's rental. What a great time. The apartment is clean, private, well maintained and very well equiped with everything you will need. The view is beautiful. The private deck is quiet, nothing around but birds and the view. The use of beach towels, chairs, a cooler and snorket gear is an added plus, saves having to rent these things at the beach. Close drive to beaches, shopping and restaurants. Small rental car is needed. Bob and Diane are excellent hosts, there to answer questions and give directions, recommendations, etc., but never invade your privacy.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing.

My husband and I travel for both work and pleasure quite frequently and have never found a place we enjoy staying as much as this! We have stayed at other vacation rentals in the Virgin Islands off steep narrow roads and where noises from town keep you up all night, but this place is completely different. There is easy access to main roads that you can take quickly and easily to town and the beaches, but in their guest apartment you feel worlds away from everything and the gentle sounds of tree frogs in the rainforest-like landscaping below will lull you to sleep at night if you leave the windows open. We enjoyed several meals on the beautiful deck with a view of Magen's Bay that is easily worth every penny of a million dollars! There aren't enough words for how fun and genuinely hospitable Bob and Diane are. They are the most gracious hosts you will find and this was our second of hopefully many stays with them. The amazing beaches of St. Thomas and St. John are worth the long flight from Southern California, but staying at Million Dollar View makes us feel like St. Thomas is our home away from home.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, adventure seekers, age 55+, sightseeing.

We had such an incredible time and would recommend it to anybody. Bob and Diane were most gracious and gave all kind of hints on how to stay out of the real "touristy" areas. Highly recommended!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing.

From the moment we arrived we only could say "wow".... The apartment was the cleanest and best kept vacation rental we ever had (and I am extremely picky). We found everything we needed: a spacious super clean bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, enough closet space to fit everything, beach equipment, the most beautiful view from our porch and the nicest, most helpful owners who were always there when we needed them with tips and hints and a good conversation. It is a great place for 2 persons, the space is absolutely sufficient and you feel at home immediately. It is a great location and by car you are everywhere on St Thomas within 20-30minutes (you will need a car). We can recommend the Million Dollar View to everyone without any hesitation, and if we come back to the Virgin Islands, we will for sure stay again with Bob and Diane. A real gem! Thank you for everything.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, age 55+, sightseeing.

My husband and I stayed at Million Dollar View for a few days in February. The apartment was perfect for us. It was clean, cozy and we loved sitting out on the deck. As far as the view - the name says it all. The view of Magen's Bay was amazing and we also loved the beautiful flowers and foliage on the property itself. It was a bonus having use of beach chairs, beach towels and a cooler. Overall, we had a fantastic trip and are already dreaming about when we can go back. I would definitely recommend the apartment to anyone looking to spend a few days on the island and wanting to get a taste of what it would be like to live there.Did you find this review helpful?
