PROS:
You cannot beat the price of this property, nor the location.
This condo is a great value for a comfortable stay right on the ocean. We could walk a few minutes along the beach to St. Thomas Dive Center, dine and/or enjoy cocktails at nearby Mims or Iggies, or prepare a meal at home then dine on the patio overlooking the pool, beach and ocean. Watching the sunrise over the ocean each morning while sipping hot coffee was an absolute delight. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, cooking dishes, pots and pans, an oven, microwave, coffee maker, blender (especially nice to be able to make some rum drinks at "home"), toaster, strainer, etc. The décor is breezy, clean and nice. The area was quiet and everyone we met was very welcoming. We felt very safe and secure throughout our stay.
CONS:
The listing stated there is wifi but there really isn't sufficient wifi service to state that, although the manager/owner was very prompt in returning our call, polite and helpful, but we still were unable to access a stable wifi from within the condo. We were able to connect only when outside on the patio. We also did not have hot water when we arrived, but again, he was super helpful and had a new water heater installed the very same day. Impressive and we were grateful! Also the description promised a cooler but we couldn't find one, which was disappointing. Not a big deal, we went to a couple of stores and finally found one at a Kmart for $13. We left this, along with a couple of food storage containers for future guests. The umbrella is broken and after carrying it to the beach and attempting to use it, we gave up and didn't use it again. Some of the kitchen dishes and the cutting board were not fully clean but after a little soap and bleach, we were comfortable using them.
OVERALL:
We definitely recommend staying here. The condo, pool and grounds were clean overall and enjoyable. The view is AMAZING and the location, especially if you're a scuba diver, is PERFECT!
Thank you!
