Wow! What an unbelievable view! Gail was a great host. She met us right when we got there and went over everything with us. She was extremely responsive to any questions that came up. We were very comfortable. It was really nice having the beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler to use. The “pay it forward” bar was a nice touch. Would definitely rent again.
Major set back when one first sees the place given expectations that were based on VRBO marketing pictures and descriptions. Too many items were knowingly broken. The view was spectacular.
Amazing views, clean, easy access to Red Hook and restaurants! Had everything we needed. Great communication with the owners! Will stay there again for sure!

Wishing you the very best of the Holidays and New Year! Thank you again for choosing Ocean Kaleidoscope for your family vacation! If the travel bug brings you back this way, we will always have an open door for you.
this was our first vrbo stay as a family, and we could not be more pleased with our stay. our hosts gail and curlson are the sweetest, most accommodating people with the most beautiful house. the views are unbeatable, and the house was perfect. thank you so much gail and curlson, we cannot wait to be back!!!
This property is BEAUTIFUL! The view of Sapphire Bay/beach is phenomenal and Gail's place is very comfortable.There are the understable signs of wear and tear from a location that is exposed to the elements, but the venue is gorgeous. Beach is about a 3 minute drive down some switchbacks.Pool is perfect for a small group and hot tub is very nice.
We loved everything about this property -- the location, the pool, the space to spread out for three generations traveling together, the gracious & responsive hosts, and the breathtaking view.

It was our pleasure to welcome you as our guests!! I received a glowing summary of your stay. It's always warming to know that we are doing something RIGHT! THANK YOU for choosing Villa Ocean Kaleidoscope, and supporting our territory. Please don't let this be the last time you visit the US Virgin Islands... Warmest wishes to you all! ~ Gail
The house was perfect for our needs. The 2 units provided privacy and the outdoor area was a perfect hangout area. The view was an amazing thing to wake up to!
We had a wonderful time at Villa Oceanview Kaleidoscope. The view from the property is simply breathtaking. The location was convenient to most beautiful beaches on St. Thomas. We loved every minute there and hope to be back. Thank you, Gail, for your hospitality and sharing your beautiful place with us.
This was a beautiful property. Great views, pool, hot tube, outdoor eating area. Owner's helped us with anything we needed, gave us info on things to door, overall great friendly people!!! If there was one thing that was a negative, the walk to the beach we only did once because of the extreme hill and the crazy walk . It was very difficult and alittle scary with traffic.

Hi Kara! Thank you for your uplifting review of your stay! While the neighborhood road is paved and safe (hilly yes, because you know islands are like that 😂) , I always recommend guests rent a car to get around our main island roads for the very reasons you stated. However we were happy to have on site taxi service available to accommodate your transportation needs. I hope the good memories you created with your group balance out the voluntary road “trauma” you experienced. Come see us again and please consider any one of the MANY car rental recommendations. ☺️
Celebrated my mom’s 70th birthday. The house was set up perfectly for my mom to have her own space while my husband and I also had our own space. Our favorite part was the view and spending our mornings watching the storms move in and out. Gail was very accommodating. Would return again.
The hosts, Gail and her husband Curlston, made our stay worth while. We were a party of 2 adults and 2 children, and we were very satisfied. Location, Location, Location, the property is located in Red Hook and very close to the beaches, the ferry, shopping and restaurants. The property has two levels, great for couples. All of our needs and concerns were handled quickly and professionally. I recommend this property and hope to return.

What an amazing place! We truly enjoyed our stay! I chose this place based on the reviews and the pictures. Made a great choice! The views really are incredible and the afternoon breezes make it very comfortable after a long day in the sun. Both Gail and Carlson are gracious hosts and know exactly how to make your stay perfect. We are looking forward to returning!

And you were AMAZING guests! We look forward to welcoming you back to the Virgin Islands. I hope you continue to make it you vacation spot for many years to come! See you then... Warmly, Gail
It was a little difficult to find the property, but hosts were very accommodating and helpful when we arrived. They were always available to answer questions and presented us with many options of places to go, and things to do. Very kind and easy to work with. It was a very nice and relaxing vacation.
We stayed here with our adult son and grandson who live on island. The separation of the living quarters made for a very comfortable time. The kitchen was as well equipped as any we have ever encountered in a rental. Great outdoor space and plants! Gail is a good communicator and host.

Hi Jimmy. I appreciate your positive comments about your stay, property amenities and experience. I'm happy that you were able to enjoy the time well spent with your family. I'm curious however about the reason for your 1-star rating? If there other specific reasons why you rated the property this low I'm very happy to review and amend for future travelers. Best to you all for the Holiday Season... Stay safe and be well! - Gail
About the host
Hosted by Gail
Born in Trinidad (West Indies), St. Thomas (US Virgin Islands) has been my home for 5+ decades. I LOVE my Caribbean culture, history and community! "Ocean Kaleidoscope" has grown to represent this unique island life. Giving travelers from all over the World the opportunity to share its incredibly beautiful vistas, learn about the colorful history, experience the verdant culture, and appreciate the authentic and diverse community. I’m also an animal advocate, rescuer, foster, adopter… and supporter of the Humane Society of St. Thomas & "Pet With Wings" Program. https://www.petswithwingsstt.com/volunteer?
Why they chose this property
This corner lot, at 300 feet above sea level, is within short driving distance to the nearby town of Red Hook. The steady breezes gently carry away the distant sounds of civilization, creating the feeling of seclusion, while only being 2-15 minutes away from pristine beaches (the nearest within 1/4 mile and 3 minutes driving), savory island cuisine, exhilarating marine adventure, shopping bonanzas, water sports, and island hopping.
What makes this property unique
With dynamic ocean views of the salty playground below, the view is alive with boats of every description, beaches, resorts, and islands of adventure. Day or night, each changing image is more spellbinding than the next. The combination of the elements, vistas, location, amenities, decor, and service create an envious vacation stay!
The EXPERIENCE: Tropical breezes, sounds of crashing beach surf, cacophony of native wildlife, dancing butterflies, vibrant color skies and moonlit ocean waves are just some of the sensory surprises. Enjoy the sunrise or sunset as you meditate, workout, read, dine or dance on any of the spacious patios or decks. Bask in the crystal clear unheated pool and/or soothing spa, surrounded by a tropical landscape under the sun or a star-filled night sky.
