JANUARY SALE at Marguerite-a-villa! Gorgeous water views! White sand beaches!

Condo was very nice, clean and had an amazing view.

I would love to give this place a higher review but I can't. The condo is clean and good size. It has a good view. The reason for my low review is because there were multiple power outages during my stay. I felt like the owner should have been more forthcoming about the condition of the "included" amenities. When the power went out the first time the property manager said this happens frequently, so we probably should have been warned upon booking. The pool is closed, the owner told me that it was expected to open late August 2018. I understand that she is not in charge of the pool timeline but after being there and looking at it once it's obvious the pool won't be done for a long time. I would guess 2020. To add, the pool passes are sitting in the doorway to taunt you...even though the pool has been closed a year (so I found that odd) The gym is also non existent and a primary reason we booked it. There is no place to run as the roads have no shoulders. Also there is no trash service. The owner said it is a short distance to a trash can...not true at all. It is a drive, unless you want to walk trash over a mile to a dumpster you better get a rental car to haul your trash. At the end of the day it's not a huge deal but it is something to consider when you are spending a lot of money on a vacation. I also found the "checkout" to be a little annoying. It seemed to be a lot compared to other vrbos. Again not a huge deal just something to consider when booking. There is a gate code that we were not informed of prior to our arrival, so we sat in the taxi for 25 minutes waiting to get it from the property manager; a bit uncomfortable after a long flight and not the best way to kick off our stay. Another issue we had is the unit next door with an adjacent wall was undergoing a massive renovation. Although the entire island is bring rebuilt I thought it was poor taste to rent out this unit while renovating was happening next door. Almost ever morning we were awoken by the sound of drills. Between the power outages and the construction, I wouldn't say it was all that comfortable. Until the situation changes I wouldn't recommend this place until maybe 2020 or if the unit was discounted. The owner seems to be a good person but I wish she was a bit more honest. I think she accepts the situation as an owner instead of thinking about it as a vacationer who us spending a lot if money. Overall we enjoyed our stay and made the best of what the island has to offer

From the moment you decide to stay at this beautifully decorated and well-kept condominium, you’ll feel like family. Marguerite, I and my wife were in constant communication whether it was through email, text or a phone call, both Marguerite and her property manager, Brittney made sure that we were in completely competent, caring, and patient hands. They kept us up-to-date on things like whether the pool was likely to reopen on time or not due to a myriad of reasons – none of which were within her control. Speaking of which, although a pool would’ve been nice, we truly didn’t mind as the white beach, a cooler full of drinks and available Palm, Seagrape, and Maho Tree shade made the beach a Caribbean paradise.

As I’m writing this, we remember seeing Brittney’s smile and welcoming wave letting us know that we’ve finally made it. We’re taken back to when we first walked in the door of the condo. We felt as though we were walking into a Bombay Furniture Company showroom with a splash of tasteful and elegant Colonial – Caribbean vibe.

Almost immediately, your eyes will be drawn to the picturesque scene straight out from the sliding glass door! Different shades of blue and green are accented by the reflection of the sun twinkling over and through the crests of the calming swells. Blooming tropical flowers and foliage line the slope leading down the hill to the rocks where local critters scurry about or just sun themselves. Naturally you’ll gaze to the left where your beautiful clean and uncrowded beach awaits. After you unpack, sit back on comfortable balcony furniture and put your feet up, sip some coffee (especially if you’re like us and want to check out the sunrises in the morning) or pour a concoction of your own liking then look across the gently bobbing boats anchored in the bay towards the eastern peninsula of Cowpet Bay and on to Little St. James Island.

Just about everything that you need during your stay is right there in the condo – even a bottle of Cruzan Rum is provided. However, if you need something that the spacious galley kitchen doesn’t have, there’s a market on Route 32 just a couple of minutes away called the Food Center VI.

There is no doubt in our minds that you and your loved ones should feel very comfortable, and at ease in this spacious home-away-from-home. All in all, we’d like to think that we’ve made a couple of new friends through this experience. We guarantee that you will not want to leave!

We had a wonderful experience at this condo. The view, location and beach were beautiful and surreal. Any concerns we had were quickly resolved. The house was charming and decorated in a modern style. We would recommend this location to anyone!!

Our family of six stayed here for 8 days in the middle of March! We have four younger kids; ages ranging in 9-5. We had the most amazing time!! We've been to many islands, and St. Thomas beats every single one. As soon as you walk in the door, Marguerite-a-Villa is so cozy, clean, and the view is something out of a postcard. Brittany the property manager is very sweet and helpful, and was also great to work with. The welcome basket was a really nice touch!! We've done vrbo's for over 10 years, and not everyone goes out of their way like Marguerite. We had many questions as we booked a year in advance, and then of course the hurricanes hit, and she was so great and informative and honest about the island. I also really liked the fact that she got back to us quickly. That's so helpful and reassuring when you reserve a place that you've never been to before. Her book of information that she sends you through email before you get there is really helpful, and the book she has in the condo is awesome! I loved all the info and was really glad for the tips. Cowpet Bay is a wonderful beach. It almost feels like it's your own private beach. We also loved the use of the different sized coolers. They come in handy; especially with four young kids; whether you're at Cowpet or off on an adventure somewhere else. It was really easy to get any chair you wanted, the ocean is fabulous. It's a great spot to build sand castles and swim. Very nice gentle waves especially for kids, and a great swimming area. We were even lucky enough to see a sting ray on our last day there swimming near the deeper end of the buoys at the bottom. The drive into Red Hook is quick and easy, and such a fun place. There are so many things to do ; it's unreal. I also love how safe St. Thomas feels. This condo and location is absolutely stunning and we have already booked for next year. Another thing I wanted to add is how private you feel on the balcony. There was nobody walking below our balcony; which made it feel somewhat secluded. We loved that! We've been in a lot of really nice vrbo's, and I've never written a review; so that should tell you something:) Thank you for a fabulous stay!!!!!
