About this property

Executive Retreat- Near Magen's Beach.

Yes, we have WiFi that can accomodate remote working and schooling for the whole family.

Long Term/ Monthly Rentals Welcome at deep discounts. Please ask.

Whether working and schooling from Paradise or taking that much needed vacation, you won't want to leave this Natural Cliffside Garden of Eden with the best views in the Caribbean.

As you open the door to the road and descend down the steps into the waterfront cliffside, you realize you are about to experience something truly special... and 100% unique.

Breathtaking views of the ocean, the US and British Virgin Islands on one side and a cliffside pool and huge rock grotto/cave on the other, Mango Tango has been a long loved home for sunbathers, energy bathers and all who just want to recharge, heal or just reconnect in the perfect setting.

Complete privacy and all the best of Caribbean Ocean air, billion year old stone and tropical foilage all combine for the perfect getaway in this Virgin Islands eco-retreat.

Perfect for couples and families who want their own private slice of heaven to get away from it all. Remote workers have been m

Pictures don't do this place justice. We took over this very popular vacation rental property a few years ago and remodeled it from top to bottom as our personal home. Adding solar panels, chemical free pool filtration, enhancing the landscape and blending the home to the environment, we came to know Mango Tango as our own personal Garden of Eden.

We are living in the States now and using it as our own vacation retreat and are happy to share with you the magic of Mango Tango.

As a nature retreat, the house is painted to blend in with the Ocean and tropical foilage in unique carefully planned ways. The end result is you feel all the comforts of home within the exact feeling and energies of an almost unaltered natural environment.

The grotto is amazing for yoga, meditation or just relaxing with a cocktail. The outdoor shower offers complete privacy and ocean views and botanical surroundings.

Magen's Bay Beach, one of the world's top beaches is only minutes away if you can bring yourself to leave this paradise.

Property issues ruined our stay
The property is pretty. Owner is nice. We were there for 5 nights 4 days. Unfortunately the whole vacation was riddled with issues that took away from being to relax, which is why we paid so much. We have rented many houses and I have never given a bad review. This will be the first. The owner is nice but I don’t think he has the time to manage the property. The day before my journey I still had received specifics on how to get into the property. Luckily the owner assigned a local person to assist. The owner eventually sent the information after a panicked text from me just 12 hours before our flight. We arrived on Christmas day and the house looked like no one had been there in sometime. The curtains were drawn and the house was dark. The next day we ran our of water which was resolved in a few hours. But there was no kitchen light that night so we cooked in emergency lights. The washer is dryer is small and the dryer was screaming. It was awful. We take carry on only and with children you need to wash clothes. Every day the dryer made the worst screaming sound cause the dryer needs to be replaced. Apparently this was a know issue. This really upset me. I pay top dollar and quality was not there. The dishwasher made awful sounds too. The bathtub in the master bath does not get hot water. We like to use hot water at the end of the day after hiking etc. The bath tub needs to refinished properly. The stairs were dark and need repair. The list goes on.

Great view but not executive retreat
The property has a great view. We enjoyed our stay and it is only about 15 minutes from Charlotte Amalie to the house. The house needs a good cleaning inside and out. It is a bit outdated and needs to get new towels and linens. As others have said there are many steps and I would not recommend for young children. There are 50 steps from street to front door. I would recommend the owners/manager make sure to clean outside spaces (debris, bird droppings on chairs and tables) before arrival. The second bath only has the sunken inside tub which is not really useful. There is an outdoor shower just outside this bathroom. We used the grill a few nights for dinner. The pool small but nice for a cool float to relax. With some maintenance, cleaning and updating this would be an executive retreat.

Wonderful Getaway
This property is truly an amazing escape! The beautiful greenery and the tucked-away grotto overlooking the pool make you feel like you're in a tropical spa. Then you step onto the roof, or into the home and feel like you're on the prow of a ship headed out to sea; the views are incredible! We were treated to several beautiful sunrises as small rainstorms swept across Tortola in the distance. One side effect of being so exposed is that windy nights are a bit noisy in the master bedroom. The kitchen is well-equipped, and we cooked at home most nights. This is in part due to not feeling confident driving on the left on the small, rough roads in the dark, but taxis are an option too. Everything is reasonably close; 5 mins to Magen's Bay and ~20 mins to everything else. Highly recommend Lindquist beach - swam with 3 sea turtles and good beachcombing! There were 2 beach chairs and plenty of blankets and snorkel gear provided with the property, which we made good use of. A couple minor downsides to consider: internet was spotty, especially for the Samsung users in the group it seemed, and in room AC units were a bit finicky as well. Also, not the best property for those that can't handle a couple flights of stairs, but it was perfect for our laid back group of girls! Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Brandon Todd

Host profile image


My wife and I first came to the Virgin Islands in 2010 so that I could propose to my wife, returned the next year several times to get married in St. Croix and then decided to move to St. Thomas in early 2013.

We found Villa Mango Tango in 2014 after looking for a home for over a year. When going for viewing my wife had made up her mind to buy the house while descending the stairs into the property - before we could even see the house. There is an energy there and a uniqueness that can only be experienced.

After a couple of magical years living there in our own Garden of Eden we had to move back to the states to prepare for our daughter's birth. We now use it as our own vacation destination and are happy to share it with you.

In us, you'll find in us an unusual willingness to help. We were once you, coming to the island and not knowing where to go and what to do and what means what. Small lessons learned make a big difference in your vacation and we'll be happy to help accommodate any need or wish.

Why they chose this property

Complete Privacy.

Breathtaking Views.

The only large rock grotto of its kind.

Close to Magen's Beach, one of the top beaches in the world.



What makes this property unique

Everything about Mango Tango is unique. It's built into a cliffside with huge boulders surrounding the property. The views cannot be captured in pictures... they are simply breathtaking.

Every day the Ocean, clouds, moon and stars portray a different movie that you can't stop watching as all the stress leaves your body.

The outdoor shower is a huge hit.
