The property was perfect for our family of 6. We loved the location. Close to Red Hook. The beach area is nice at Cowpet but definitely not the prettiest you will find. The food and drinks at the restaurant's on beach were very good. Communication with homeowner was excellent. No issues while we stayed at all.

Brad and Kelly’s condo was perfect for our family of 4. It is gorgeous, comfortable and felt like a dream. The pool, hot tub, and beach are just steps away. The two restaurants and beach bar are right on the beach as well. We rented a car so driving around the island was easy and convenient from the condo. I reached out to Kelly a few times before and during the trip and she was so kind and responsive. We could not have imagined a more perfect place to stay on our vacation. Thank you Brad and Kelly

Condo was very nice and very clean. We had everything we needed. Communication and check in were great. Only downside was that the pool was not nearly as nice or large as pictured but we spent most of our time at the beach! Close to red hook which was great for finding dinner spots.

Great family condo

This condo deserves a 5 star rating for several reasons: It was clean, communication from the property owner was extremely detailed and responsive, the check-in and out process was very smooth and the condo included everything. I’ve stayed at several VRBOs and this place had over the top amenities: bug spray, sun screen, beach towels, pool and beach toys and the list goes on. While I’d give this condo an enthusiastic 5 stars, I wouldn’t give the island of St Thomas the same. Here’s why: it’s extremelyyyy expensive. And we’re from NY where we’re used to high prices but the cost of food was more than NY. Also, we didn’t rent a car which was a huge mistake. The cost of cabs were insane (again more than NYC taxis) so we didn’t leave our area much bc we felt robbed eveytime we took a taxi. However, there are 2 restaurants that are walking distance and you can also walk to the Ritz Carlton for dinner. But I’d still recommend you rent a car, but know they drive on the left side of the road. Lastly, the swim with dolphins activity at Coral World was amazing and I’d highly recommend. Just know you’re spending over a thousand dollars for a family of five to do this, including a hundred for a taxi to take you 5 miles. Again, this place and Kelly were over the top accommodating and I’d give her and the condo rave reviews. But we ended up spending the same amount we would at an all inclusive resort b/c the food and taxis were astronomical. Rent a car!

This is a great location if you have a car and plan to do a lot of driving to various beaches. We visited at least 6 beaches. The cooler was helpful to have for picnic lunches. The condo has a beautiful view and pool. We slept well and even the upstairs bedroom was comfortably cool at night. Great place for families. Quiet area no concern walking outside after sunset. Glad I picked this condo for our family vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Brad & Kelly Tower

Host profile image
We’re the Tower Family from the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Our love affair with the islands began in 2016, and in 2021 we made a dream come true by purchasing our family vacation home at Cowpet Bay. Since then, we’ve cherished every moment of island life, sharing it with our daughter, extended family, and the wonderful guests who stay with us through VRBO.

When we’re on island, you’ll often find us soaking up the sun at Sapphire and Lindquist beaches, snorkeling right here at Cowpet, or savoring a delicious breakfast at Tarpon’s Table whenever we get the chance. This place truly feels like paradise, and we’re thrilled to share it with you!

Why they chose this property

When you visit, it's easy to see why we fell in love with the bay and community. We are just two flights of stairs to sand between your toes. Cowpet Bay has great swimming and snorkeling as well as a huge pool (members only) for those days you want a break from the saltwater. We are very close to Red Hook where you'll find everything you need (bars, groceries, restaurants, ferry and charters).

What makes this property unique

Our condo offers several unique benefits that make your stay more comfortable. You’ll enjoy instant hot water, potable water directly from the faucets, and a backup generator that ensures power is restored quickly if there’s an outage, which can occasionally happen on the island. Just downstairs, you’ll find two wonderful restaurants and an activity kiosk for planning your adventures. Everything you need is only steps away for your convenience.
