The entire stay was fantastic more than we expected from a vrbo. We took 8 people and didnt use one of the rooms and had tons of space. The secluded beach was so private and perfect but be prepared for a bit of a hike down the stairs. Def rent a jeep the road is rough getting to the vrbo but totally worth it. Ac in all the rooms so temp was comfortable a the time nice kitchen and lots of living room space for family time.
We had a lovely time! The property manager, Lisa, is the best. She really bends over backwards to make sure that you have an enjoyable stay. Make sure you rent a four-wheel-drive vehicle though because the access is a little tricky, but it’s very private and quiet and beautiful.
It was perfect. We loved the option to cook, grill, eat outside on the large deck, enjoy a jacuzzi soak or a beach swim. Everything you need is on site. I would highly recommend this rental. I would also recommend a jeep or suv to explore the island.
This house is an incredible place to stay! There are a few things to know when you book it. An SUV/Jeep is highly recommended due to the rugged access road. Any car with low clearance may get damaged. Make sure you drop a pin so you can navigate the private road to the property- it’s one way in & out. That’s also the best part of staying here. The deck is 30 ft above the ocean with an unobstructed view. It’s completely private with steps leading to its own small beach. No one in sight & only ocean waves for sound. Yet, it had all the modern conveniences-wi-if, AC, hot tub, huge outdoor eating and hangout areas, a guest house, 3.5 baths, outdoor showers, ice, icepacks, coffee makers, Smart TVs, cooler, beach towels, coded locks, security gate, Moes grocery a few minutes away & a property manager that’s extra attentive! Loved the location and the character of this home and would rent here again. Bring binoculars!

The Beach House is ideal for people who want to go and stay isolated and not go exploring he island. I recommend using the delivery service so you do not have to get out. The drive from the main road to the house is pretty intense, and a little overwhelming. I also do not recommend for people that may have issues getting up and down stairs. Main toilet in main house broke on our 1st morning, the maintenance man didn't make it until later the next evening. I understood that you will have bugs due to the location and landscape around but we had major issues with ants or something similar getting in all our food. We couldnt leave our dinner on the stove for us to eat and then clean due to it being covered in bugs within minutes. There were these same little bugs in all the bathrooms, not just a few, tons of them. There was also a leak in the cottage kind room that got some of our things wet. The linen was clean on the beds but the mattress protectors were not. It was a great get away and we enjoyed the beach with the family but they definitely need to fix a few things and definitely get an exterminator.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We genuinely care about every guest who stays with us, and we want to make sure your concerns are heard and addressed with the care they deserve.
Regarding the bugs, we have not received any prior complaints of ants or small insects inside the home. We have a licensed exterminator on a monthly service schedule and a treatment was completed just before your arrival. Out of an abundance of caution, we followed up with the guests who stayed immediately before and after your visit and neither reported any insects inside the house. Our cleaning staff, maintenance team, exterminator, and villa managers also conducted a thorough inspection and thankfully found no evidence of an ant or bug infestation.
Regarding the reported leak in the cottage, our villa managers and maintenance staff inspected during your stay and again afterward and were unable to locate any leak. We absolutely would address any such issue if found. It is possible that water may have entered if a door was left open during a storm.
Finally, we did inspect all mattress protectors following your stay. One was found to have staining that could not be removed in laundering and has since been replaced.
Everything was great about this house and location. Perfect accommodations for a large family with great location. Hospitality was great also. Highly recommend.
We absolutely loved this place. It was just my husband and I we really enjoyed how secluded it was. The private beach was beautiful and we will definitely be back with our family.

Great property but tough drive
The property has mostly private beach until the last day someone walked down the rugged path. You will need to rent a jeep to get there because the roads are very rough. Enjoyed the sunsets from the beach and deck. The house came with everything essential and I would recommend to pay for the groceries delivered instead of making the trip on the first tiring day. Lisa came and helped us several times for WiFi , grill etc. Overall we enjoyed the stay at the beach house.
The property was as advertised and had everything we needed and more. The beach and deck were amazing. The kitchen had everything to make meals at the house and enjoy the deck which we often did rather than going out. The island was beautiful but the property had so much to offer we often opted to stay at the house and enjoy it! It was a great vacation - thank you for sharing your home with us!
The house was awesome. The views were to die for. The only thing wrong with this location was the extreme remoteness. Other than that , I have no complaints or regrets. Thanks.
Everyone in our family is busy with their own lives, but our stay at the beach house gave us the opportunity to all be in one place and enjoy our time together.
Memories made at the beach house....
Kayaking from the beach
snorkeling off of the beach
eating dinner together on the deck which looks out over the ocean
laying on the lounge chairs at night looking at the starry nights.
The property manager, Lisa was awesome. She met us at the airport and showed us to the house. She made herself available ( Cell phone) if we needed anything!!
On our next trip to St. Thomas, we will stay here again!
We had a great time at the house. Its location on the water is fantastic and very easy when vacationing with little ones. You don’t have to load up a truckload of supplies and kid items—you just walk down the stairs. The house was clean and had all of the items a family needs. I did have to wear bug spray only when I slept because something ate me up at night, bug spray stopped the eating. I suggest bug spray in case you are as delicious to bugs as me. Finally, you do not need to rent a 4x4 vehicle to get to the house as others have said, but you might prefer one. Other roads on the island might also be more comfortable with a 4x4, but again not required.

Michael, thanks for the great review. The house is a wonderful place for families and couples. Sorry about getting bitten at night but sometimes mosquitoes do get in the house and night is their prime time to snack!
The most amazing part was the beach access. It was great to go down to the water for an hour or two everyday and walk back up. There was plenty of beach toys and gear for our use. We didn't have to pack up all our gear, park and fight for a spot at the popular beaches. The outdoor showers are wonderful! We were a group of 7 and it was nice everyone had their own space but could come together in the main house. We had an all wheel drive Kia Sorento with an experienced off- road driver and we managed the road just fine. An all wheel drive is necessary to navigate the road. The hot tub is perfect to watch the sunset. The balcony has amazing views and the house is secluded and quiet. The house manager Lisa was helpful with all our needs. There is a generator for the frequent power outages. It was an amazing vacation for everyone!!
The property and furnishing were terrific. Everything was first rate. There was nothing lacking, linens, electronics, dishes... all was splendid. (One exception -- the ice maker did not work). The outdoor shower was at first a little off putting, but it was just fine.after realizing that privacy was total.
Access to the property was another matter. To say access was difficult is a complete understatement. Given the location on the side of a mountain, it might not be surprising, but you really need to endure great fear in getting to the property. I have driven in difficult terrains, but this was the most over the top experience of my life.
Our group had been here before, 15 years prior, different owner. This property is secluded, and has a perfect beach for relaxing and water fun. We love having our own rooms and space to gather as well. We did all agree however that the spaces could use a few updates: there is alot of knick knacks around that just get in the way. The rooms in the guest cottage could use some updates, we stayed in the one with the sliding glass door, and it needs a mirror, a chair or stool and a trash basket. You could get rid of the TV never turned it on. The bathroom needs a clean rug in front of the shower door. We used the recommended massage therapist, the chef, and the car (Jeep) rental; and all were fabulous! Very easy to work with and wonderful. Lisa the property manager was also very nice. Keep in mind this property has a lot of stairs. Also the road into it is VERY treacherous and not for the faint of heart. Overall we are happy to have come back here. Thank you
The pictures and videos just do not do justice to the experience of staying here!
We were delighted with the space! Views can't be beat and the privacy of the beach was absolutely perfect. The snorkeling right there was even better than 5 other places we went around the islands on a boat trip!👌the boat house was well stocked with 15+ snorkel masks and plenty of flippers, assorted life jackets, kayaks and several chaise lounges.
The property was setup great with tons of space for a large group with 3 couples and one family with little kids. Plenty of room to be all together and also comfortable private places to relax.
Getting to and from the house was definitely an adventure! We chose not to rent and relied on a few local taxi/transport companies...once they figured out how to get there it was pretty straightforward! But plan for that to be a little extra work if you don't get a vehicle. It was worth it for the location tho!
My family had an amazing stay at The Beach House!!!
The house has everything needed for an enjoyable stay and the owner and property manager went above and beyond to make sure my family was well taken care of from the moment we booked the house to the moment we left for the airport to go back home. The property manager even met us at the airport to escort us to the house.
The main house and detached cottage provided the 4 bedrooms needed and everyone with their own space and area to relax. The large outdoor patio area, dining, and family rooms provided plenty of space to hang out together.
We went out to eat often and also enjoyed cooking meals at the house. We appreciated the ability to have a kitchen filled with provisions when we arrived. The kitchen is well equipped (new espresso/coffee machine, dishwasher, oven, etc.) and stocked, and we also did some grilling.
Renting a Jeep is a MUST and incredibly fun! When not enjoying the amazing views from the house, hot tub, and private beach, we spent our days driving all over the island to explore, visiting several beaches, places to eat and shop, and took the car ferry over to St. John for a day.
My family and I highly recommended The Beach House and it has definitely earned a spot on my list of places my family would love to stay again.
This was an amazing experience! From beginning to end, this villa is one to strive for. This trip was to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday with all our family. We were met at the airport in St Thomas by the property manager, Ms. Pochette. She was very friendly and helpful in aquainting us with how to get to the villa and giving us a tour of all the amenities. The villa itself was very clean and well appointed with a lot of basic needs. They operate on an honor system of sorts. If you use something up, replace it. Good system! The private beach is the highlight of the property. Amazing snorkeling around beautiful coral formations and a variety of aquatic life: tropical fish, squid and, yes, even a possible shark. My wife and daughter encountered what we decided was a Reef Shark, but no problems. The view from the villa is amazing as well. Beautiful tropical vistas and crystal clear waters. This property is a must if you want the best of an island vacation. One other note though: be prepared for left hand driving and narrow, rough roads to the villa, but this only adds to the experience. Highly recommended!
This place was gorgeous! The private beach was amazing! The house was huge and very clean! There was snorkeling gear, kayaks, nice tvs, beautiful patio, a kitchen with every appliance you can think of plus more. I regret not using the outdoor shower but my guests said that was one of their favorite parts of the house. There’s games, zacuzzi, and so much more. BUT the bugs are bad !! My guests got bit up every night all over, we’re praying it wasn’t bad bugs but we don’t think it is. The TVs in the main house didn’t work, except the one in the living room. The house manager kept giving us the wrong code for the door so it was hard to get in the house some days. The route to get to the house is very complicated because the roads is TERRIBLE! If you don’t have a truck YOU WILL damage your car. The LED lights to the zacuzzi wouldn’t cut off and the dish washer leaked a bit. But other then that I will see myself coming back! We liked it alot.

About the host
Hosted by Annette Elliott
Why they chose this property
Annette Elliott and her family first visited St.Thomas in 2007 and found the Beach House in 2008. We have spent a month at the beach house every year and were fortunate enough to be able to purchase the house from the past owner of over 35 years. The Beach House is truly a special place.
What makes this property unique
This home is one of very few on St. Thomas with it's own private, secluded beach. When we stay at the home ourselves, it's like we're stealing away on a short vacation ourselves.
