About this property

King's Lighthouse #5: Hidden Garden Oasis

Welcome World Travelers! Dive into the history of this unique and memorable area of St Thomas. This incredible castle we call the Queen's Quarters is your gateway to experiencing America’s Paradise. You will love this fully remodeled 200 year old castle in the heart of Downtown St Thomas Charlotte Amalie.

We have 5 totally private units within the castle, each with their own entrance and customized for all types of international travelers.

This Castle was once built by General Santa Anna in the 1800's and we have spent the time to make it a traveler's dream with high-speed Wifi in each villa, new plumbing and electric, super clean and fresh.

This location is the ideal spot to walk around Charlotte Amalie and enjoy the Cosmopolitan atmosphere, brimming with Danish colonial architecture, duty-free shops, and cultural landmarks.

It is ideal for travelers that want to experience everything St. Thomas has to offer being centrally located in the Historic Downtown District just 2 miles from the airport, and a few blocks to the cruise terminals and ferry services.

You are only 3 miles from one of the best beaches in the world, Magens Bay.

Take a quick drive to Red Hook and get on the Car Ferry to head over to St John for the day and experience the small island paradise with pristine beaches, incredible shopping, amazing foods and everything you dream about for your Island getaway.

This unit does have stairs that you will have to walk up in order to access the unit.
It would be comparable to 2 flights of stairs.

There are two cameras on the exterior of the building: one is above the gate to the Penthouse/Unit #2 and the second one is hanging from Unit 4. The entrance to Unit 3 and the road is in view.

The room itself was reasonable for the price with two exceptions. The location is great and close to shops, however it's in the oldest part of twon that predates automobiles and the road are only slightly wider than a car and there are steep hills for two of the three access directions. Parking is non-existant, although there is parking on a couple streets a couple blocks away there is no parking on the street it is on. The parking that is available was completely parked in every time we checked, so we had to walk about six or seven blocks. The other problem was the room had such a strong mildew smell we ended up having to rent a room at another hotel at a steep price for same day availability. It appeared the mildew was coming from the air conditioner that is a portable unit that is vented to an adjacent window. that appears to have allowed water from recent rains to get into the portable air conditioner. That just an opinion, but it could be fixed with a cover over the opening to the vent tube outside if it is the problem. In any case we were unable to stay there for fear of waking up ill on vacation. Hopefully it is resolved by now.
