A unique property, Caribbean Castaway, has it all. It is located on the east end of St. Thomas less than a five minute drive to Red Hook where you can shop, eat or take the ferry to St John.

All bedrooms offer the most beautiful ocean front views on the island. No one gets stuck with a lousy view. All bedrooms offer en suite bathrooms, and their own balcony overlooking the infinity edge pool, across the professionally landscaped sweeping grounds out to the water's edge. Swaying palms, multi-colored flowers , and the resident iguanas are a treat for all. Thatch Cay, The British Virgin Islands and St. John are all within view. A stunning stone cottage for two, recreated from the designs of the sugar mills from the past is situated just 20 feet from
the water's edge. If your plans include playing on the lawn, relaxing by the pool, swimming or snorkeling in the sparkling turquoise waters directly off of our property -it is all right here in your backyard.

You have it right on the property.

This location is perfect. If your plans include visiting the famous beaches of St Thomas Lindquist Beach (the new Magens Bay) and Sapphire Beach both offer life guard supervision and are a two minute drive from the house.The town of Red Hook is just a five minute drive, where you will find delightful restaurants, live entertainment, groceries, shopping, boat rentals, marinas, dive expeditions etc. There you can also catch the ferry every hour to St. John and the British Virgin Islands.

Red Hook Reivew
The home is nicely laid out for multiple families. Each bedroom has separate entrance and key lock. The views are beautiful and the grounds well maintained. We really did enjoy the ocean access. We snorkeled regularly off the beach. We were surprised at how much we used the pool where the family came together in the water. The large platform (large flat step) was perfect for our 3 year old grandson. The infinity edge was really nice. They were receptive to emails. The two refrigerators were a nice bonus. Location was perfect. Air conditioning good and large tables for family meals were most appreciated (indoor and out!).

Friendscation 2024 Success!
Perfect House! We have a group of 11 that travel every year together. It'a always a challenge finding a property that fits all our needs, This home was perfect! It's like everyone has their own private large hotel room and bath but with a huge accommodating common area. Large tables for dining, a great kitchen with an extra refrigerator!, fantastic pool, and a beach!! What more could you want. Location is private and quiet, but close to Red Hook for night life, dining, and adventures. I never had to wait more than minutes to get any reply for the hosts and the property mangers were wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend. This might be a first return location for our annual friends trip!! Thank You!

Best High School Friends Trip
All in our 70’s. Property was so wonderful. We ate breakfast and lunch on the beautiful porches. Enjoyed nearby restaurants some evenings and cooked steaks one night, burgers one night. Helpful hosts and caretakers. Water is not that close to the house but would not be a deal-breaker for us since all else is great.

Wonderful Stay!
Our family spent 7 wonderful days at this beautiful property! The house and outside area were spacious, which allowed for privacy and time to listen to the ocean any time you wanted to.😊 The area was quiet and seemed so secluded but yet close enough to anything needed. We all enjoyed the pool multiple times everyday, barbecued, and created wonderful memories. With a large group having two fridges and an ice maker was an added bonus! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. It’s a perfect location for a family vacation!

50th Anniversary Celebration with Family
Our family of 11, ages 11-80, stayed at the property the last week of March to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. It was absolutely perfect! The accommodations were excellent with privacy but large general areas by the pool, waterfront, living room and media room. We had several meals at the large 12 person table outside as well as the 12 person table inside. Since everyone is encouraged to leave unused supplies, the kitchen is well stocked. Be sure to check in before heading to the store because you probably won’t need to buy spices, etc. for cooking. Location is excellent being so close to the beaches and Red Hook. Great views! The only mistake we made was watching the sunset on the first evening without spraying for bugs. Several of us were attacked by the “no see ums” and had uncomfortable bug bites the next day. We cooked several meals but had Chef Romeo cook a special anniversary dinner for the group. It was the best meal we had during the vacation. While the men and kids went fishing with Drift Charters, we had Spa to Go come to the property for massages. Again, fantastic service and so convenient! Alyssa from A Minuto Photography met us at Sapphire Beach to take professional photos. They were beautiful! We also did a half day 50’ private sailing catamaran ride and went zip lining with Tree Limin’ Extreme. There was plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful pool, play games, & snorkel off the beach. Perfect property!!

What a nice great getaway!
WOW! We had such a nice time. We were a group of friends looking for a relaxing trip. The point down by the cabana was just beautiful. We also enjoyed looking at the water from the pool, it was calming. We hired Chef Romeo to come into the home and cook for us a couple times. He was simply amazing. So pleasant to work with, his food and presentation was so perfect for us (I honestly wish he could have come to our own home). What a kind, knowledgeable guy! Spa To Go for in home massages. What professionals they are! Great way to relax! The beach area is nice but getting into the water is tough, so make sure to have sturdy water shoes. The water for us was a little "rough" but we watched for lower tides and made the best of it. Beautiful property and very well taken care of. Highly recommend for R&R. If looking for beach swimming, its a little rough

Great stay near Sapphire Beach
This is a wonderful property with a perfect outdoor area. Great pool and a large enough yard that the grandkids could run around and explore. The rooms are large and well appointed. The fully stocked kitchen and media room were highlights. This is, by far, the best place I've stayed in a very long time. The walk to Sapphire Beach which we did everyday to enjoy the wonderful beach, great restaurants and bars is really only possible by walking around a stony point in the water. That route takes just a few minutes. The walk along the main road is not a good option as it's much longer and a bit dangerous, especially at night. This place is really perfect.

Wonderful family memories made!
We planned a trip to St Thomas to include 11 family members ages 1-70. This house was PERFECT! Booking and communication before the trip was great. We were delayed a bit coming into St Thomas due to weather but the property managers were patient and met us at the house when we got there a couple hours late. The house was exactly as described in the VRBO post. It was laid out well and allowed for meals and fun times together inside and out. However, if someone wanted to have quiet time or take a nap, the bedrooms were off to the side of the main house and allowed for quiet privacy even if others were still awake, which was nice. The view from the house was spectacular and the waterfront perfect for catching sunrise and sunset. The snorkeling off the beach is beautiful but if the current is strong or the waves big, the rocks at the beachfront make it a bit difficult to get in and out. We all had water shoes though and it was fine! The location of the house was perfect. Just a few minutes to Red Hook, Sapphire Beach, and Lindquist Beach. We did have rental cars which was nice for a large party. We could get in and travel anywhere on the island or take the car ferry without needing a taxi. We wanted to do this vacation to have wonderful family memories together as life often keeps us busy and spread apart. This house sure did allow for fun and sun and togetherness and memories that we get to hold on to for a long time! I hope we can go back someday to make more memories!

Awesome, spacious house if enough for the whole “Framily”!
We enjoyed our stay so much several years ago that we decided to bring our friends along this time. We/they were not disappointed. We all enjoyed the large areas that allowed everyone to have their own space when needed. We enjoyed the snorkeling and the pool area.

Awesome Villa
Awesome Villa, this place will not disappoint, it is just as nice, if not better, than all the pictures. We were a party of 10 adults, all had plenty of room. The care takers were quick to answer any and all questions. And yes you need water shoes to get in the water. Grandkids had blast, Pool is fantastic. I would not recommend renting a car, we spent a lot of time at the Villa. Grounds are clean and well maintained, Believe me when I say it's all there, it is. Many Thanks to the Owners for creating this dream come true for us....

Blissful retreat
We booked this gorgeous estate for our 35th wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. We have four adult daughters and 2 grandchildren, they each brought a friend/significant other. The pool was fantastic, a semicircle step about 12inches deep was a wonderful play space for our grandkids. The pool was beautiful, with ocean views, water temp perfect. The privacy of all rooms with en suite bathrooms was lovely. The beach access is rocky but excellent snorkeling. A huge selection of pool toys, water shoes left behind by prior guests as well as a well stocked bar. Great time, great memories!

Family Memory Maker
We rented Caribbean Castaway to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Our 4 adult children and spouses all came, along with the two youngest grandchildren. The house and grounds were absolutely perfect for our large group. No one felt cramped and we even cooked in every night. Having both a pool and ocean front beach was spectacular. Everything about this house and property was lovely and special. I especially loved the art work that is generously scattered about the house. The property managers, Dave and Dawn, were excellent and so easy to work with. Thank you all for giving us family memories that will last a life time! Denise & Chuck, West Mifflin, PA

Quiet retreat accessible to everything
We enjoyed this property as a home base for a large group of friends (some with kids, some without). We went our separate ways for day adventures, rejoined in the afternoon at the pool and private beach, and enjoyed large dinners together. Everyone had a separate space to retreat to at the end of the day. This property is close to beaches, Red Hook, ferry to St. John, etc. Great snorkeling off the private beach and an easy walk to Lindquist Beach. The restaurant Pangea at the bottom of the road was a charming farm to table style restaurant.

Thank you for sharing your private paradise home with us. We were there for our daughter’s destination wedding. This was the perfect home. The separate cottage was just the perfect space and gorgeous view for the newlyweds. The pool and ocean combo was amazing. We loved the fact that every bedroom had a view of the pool and ocean. Loved that you had a 12 person table inside and out. Being able to pipe music outside on the patio/pool area was definitely a plus! Dawn and Dave the property managers were very attentive too! We will definitely recommend and be back someday!

About the host

Hosted by Joanne Hux

Host profile image
Joanne and I have traveled around the world and have always compared St Thomas to wherever we have been. We always said St Thomas was the most beautiful place in the world and in 2006 purchased a home there. We then took four years to create what we would expect a caribbean home to be. The personal touches in the house and landscaping enlightens the senses thru tropical plants and colorful flowers. We hope you share in our creation.

Why they chose this property

Sometimes in the winter you just want to get warm. Florida is very nice but can get cold. St Thomas offers a warm vacation under the American flag and is easily accessible from major airports. The water colors in St Thomas are like no other. The east end of the island is a much more relaxed atmosphere than Charlotte Amalie while still offering easy access to restaurants, shopping, St John and the BVI 's via the passenger or car ferry. Caribbean Castaway is between two of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Lindquist and Sapphire Beach, ( both just a five minute walk from the house), After a two year search we found this unique property and fell in love. Most properties in St Thomas are on a cliff which limits the use of the property to the house and porch. We wanted a flat piece of property which you can truly walk into the water from and have open space for a yard with grass.

What makes this property unique

Caribbean Castaway is one of the finest rental villas in St Thomas. It's a short walk to Sapphire Beach and Lindquist Beach. Best of all you can walk into the water straight from our property and the snorkeling is incredible! A great place to just relax at the pool, swim/snorkel, soak up the sun or escape to your own room with balcony for some quiet R&R. All interior rooms are air conditioned and the entire property is serviced by a 60 KW generator.
The cottage, 20 feet from the water’s edge, is constructed with stone/brick/shell materials inside and out, just as they were 200 years ago , the vaulted cypress ceiling, the stone shower, the kitchenette area all make this a very special. The cottage is included in our rate for a six bedroom rental only. Cottage may be substituted as one of the bedrooms ( Five bedroom minimum) for a additional fee of $500.
