The property is very nice! I was just there for one night. I would definitely book for a longer stay. The owners are wonderful! We were trying to find the location using Google Maps, got super lost, St Thomas is NOT Google Maps friendly! Once we got a hold of the owner, he came and got us saving us the hassle of getting another taxi.

Fraud the Old Bait and Switch!

After I paid, I was told the unit was unavailable due to Carnival! I expressed my anger. I then paid for a different place! The unit magically became available! That is fraud! Why take my if the unit was not available?

About the host

Hosted by Nik

Host profile image
Hi! I’m Nicole, a local from the Virgin Islands who loves creativity, calm spaces, and making people feel welcome. Hosting gives me the chance to share a little piece of island life with visitors from all over. I enjoy creating a space that feels comfortable, relaxed, and easy to settle into — whether you’re here for a quick trip or a longer stay. My goal is for guests to feel safe, cared for, and at home while enjoying everything St. Thomas has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is one of the most convenient areas on the island. It’s close to the airport, but still peaceful and tucked away enough to feel relaxing. What I love most is that almost everything you need is just a short drive away — beaches, grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacy, coffee shops, car rentals, and the Nisky Center are all within 5–10 minutes. It makes getting around easy, especially for travelers who want to explore without spending all day driving.

What makes this property unique

Bella Tortuga is more than just a place to sleep — it’s a cozy garden escape. The property is surrounded by fruit trees and tropical greenery, with a shared courtyard that includes a BBQ grill, outdoor seating, hammock, and swings. Guests love the laid-back, peaceful vibe and the ability to relax outdoors after a day of exploring. The studio is ideal for 1–2 guests, includes washer and dryer access, and offers free on-site parking. Friendly stray cats sometimes visit the garden, which many guests find charming and comforting. It’s a simple, warm, and authentic island experience close to everything.
