Playa Linda - St. Thomas Oceanfront Studio Condo at Pool & Bolongo Beach, USVI

The view is beautiful! Mims restaurant is awesome! We had a fabulous time at Coki beach! The condo met all of of needs.

Right on the beach with direct access to pool

Just rent it!

Unit is exactly as described (which is not always the case!). Very clean, tasteful and not over the top. Although this is a studio unit, there is also a good sized closet to stash suitcases, shoes, etc so that the unit does not get overwhelmed with 'stuff'. Unit for a studio is very spacious and direct view of the bay with constant sea breezes and a patio with a table/2 chairs. Galley kitchen with stove, sink, full fridge/freezer, as well as toaster, Mr Coffee type coffee pot, blender, utensils, pans. The bathroom is also adequate size AND CLEAN!! Towels provided were nice quality as well.

There were also beach towels, snorkels, masks available for use.

Few negatives but know before you go that the wifi is non-existent in most of the unit. It does work in the kitchen area and that was it. Owners have included that in their listing so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Just know that they are NOT kidding. This would not make a good unit if you are planning on doing any significant internet work BUT AT&T cell/data service on the island is really good and it is all considered 'domestic' if you're traveling from the states.

The unit is ground level very near the pool. There are however flights of stairs to negotiate, so not exactly a 'walk in' unit.

We did experience a guest with small, rambunctious little ones who went to the pool EARLY one morning. This is not something that the owners can control. Otherwise there were no issues with the pool patrons.The pool and area around it are very clean and nicely landscaped. Plenty of lounge chairs available poolside as well.

There is a restaurant /bar onsite (Mim's- also just a few yards from the room) that does a nice dinner. They were not doing lunch. Although there seemed to be people celebrating every evening, it had always calmed down by 9 or 10 pm. Iggies restaurant/bar just a 5-10 minute walk down the beach does 3 meals and is less expensive. Nightly music (you won't hear this in the unit btw). Other restaurants just down the road in Red Hook along with groceries. Laundry onsite. This is one of few units with tasteful security bars on windows/patio door. You won't really notice them but do make the unit more secure.

The water is beautiful but still a lot of erosion after the hurricanes. You will need water shoes to really use this 'beach' (still very beautiful tho!).

Overall, if you're thinking of renting this unit-DO IT. It is very lovely and overall a peaceful spot.

I have been going to St Thomas since the 1990's. I enjoyed this property and all it includes. Two walking restaurants, music and fun folks around.

The unit was clean and ready to move into to enjoy my time on island. Close to many other places you will want to see while visiting. It was exactly what I expected and I truly enjoyed relaxing on and off the property.

I highly recommend any of Mr and & Mrs's Browning's units.
