Amazing home! The setup of the house was perfect for our group of 8 and the owner is fabulous! Beautiful view from all outside areas. You can access the ocean from the steps and kayaking was great, but just note that entry will be difficult for those that are elderly or have any mobility issues. We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing stay at this beautiful Magens Bay home

We had everything we needed for an unforgettable 9-day stay! The views from the home are absolutely incredible—waking up to Magens Bay each morning was a dream. Having direct access to snorkel and kayak right from the property made the experience even more special. The house was well-equipped, comfortable, and perfectly located. Communication with the owners was excellent—friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout. Highly recommend this slice of paradise!

Vacation spot of a lifetime

Paradise Found was just that.... pure paradise! The house was so beautiful, but the views were absolutely breathtaking! Everything was clean, well stocked, and the groceries provided by the owners was such a blessing! It was so nice to get to paradise after a long day of travel, and not have to run right out and find a grocery. We spent hours in the pool, snorkeled and used the paddle board and kayaks daily. The family meals on the large veranda made memories to last a lifetime!

Amazing property

This property was everything we hoped it would be! Our family of 13 (kids and grandkids} fell in love the minute we arrived. The pool was wonderful, and being able to snorkel and use the paddleboards and kayaks directly from the private beach made it difficult to take other excursions! The villa was absolutely beautiful. This was a vacation we will never forget!

Fabulous family vaca

Lena and Bob were so easy to communicate with. Very responsive. We had 9 adults and 2 littles in our group and had a fantastic time and adventures. I would definitely recommend eating at the Smokin Rooster, their food is the bomb. The house is beautiful and fully stocked. We had everything we needed. My family really enjoyed the pool.

Fantastic house with incredible views. The house was beautiful and the kitchen was fully equipped. There is a great ice cream shop close by and Magen's Bay just down the road is beautiful. At the house you can swim either in the pool or in the ocean with some very nice snorkeling. The hosts were wonderful.

Lena and Bob are amazing. This house was as pictured. They are incredible hosts. The house was very well stocked. PLENTY of paper goods, snacks, milk, bread, etc. Tge drive to the Villa was a bit scary for this flatland TX family. Although, ALL of the roads on the island are incredibly freightening. All in all, it was a very good trip.

Lives up to the title - paradise for sure

This property is beautiful in every way. The views are stunning, the house is well stocked and comfortable, and the location is quite convenient to the most beautiful beach on the island (we even kayaked there). Lena takes care of everything for you and her recommendations are spot on — hire Ali to drive you places because the roads are no joke. The best part was the beautiful table outside that fit our extended family of 17 easily. It was the perfect place to build lasting memories. Paradise found indeed.

Truly Paradise Found!

Our stay at Paradise Found was amazing and beyond any of our expectations. Bob and Lena are the best hosts! From asking questions before booking, booking, before trip, checking in and checking out, they were top notch! There were 14 of us, Grandparents, Children and Spouses and Grandchildren ranging from 70 to 11. We all had a great time and spent a lot of Tim at the house. House was beautiful and views were breathtaking! The amenities were fantastic and well stocked with necessities. Can’t say enough about this place and hope to some day return to a week in Paradise!

Paradise was found

This was the perfect VRBO rental. The host Lena and Bob where there for us with any questions we had prior and during the trip. They made me feel so comfortable with understanding what to expect as well as greeting us with supplies that made me feel like I was walking into my own home. The only difference is that this home is so beautiful that my jaw just dropped at every turn. Once you walk through the front doors, your eyes are drawn to the beautiful views of the bay and crystal clear water. We just sat down and starred for an hour before we even thought about moving our bags into our room to unpack. Not to mention the ice cold beer that was in the fridge waiting for us didnt hurt while we sat and enjoyed the scenery. The rooms were all spacious and beautiful with even better views. Deck sitting is a must with multiple levels to choose from with comfortable sitting set ups. And I have not even talked about the pool and beach access yet. The pool is a perfect place to relax and socialize while others in the party may go grab a kayak or snorkel gear and play in the bay. Tons of bright and vibrant colored fish as soon as you dipped your head in that bay. We hired a driver for the week due to the number of people in our group and it worked out perfectly. This location is truly paradise and I thank Lena and Bob for opening their doors and allowing us to experience Paradise Found.

Fantastic 40th Anniversary Celebration at Paradise Found

We booked our 40th anniversary stay at Paradise Found last summer before two devastating hurricanes hit the Virgin Islands. Bob and Lena worked very hard to repair the damage including replacing the roof to the master bedroom. It was done just in time thanks to their hard work. Lena's communication, including many pictures was excellent during this period. The location was beautiful and we experienced beautiful sunsets every night. One night we had a shower and saw a full rainbow as well. Lena provided a goodly amount of food for us (14 people, 8 adults and 6 children) and that made it very easy for the first night and couple of days. This is a huge plus. She even shopped for specific foods that we requested and had it all there when we arrived. The pool was beautiful and great for everyone, especially the kids with the multiple water levels. We also enjoyed their private beach for snorkeling and kayaking. All of the equipment was provided. All in all a fantastic vacation. Thanks to Lena and Bob for making it possible.

Paradise Found and Beyond!!!

Our family of 14 stayed at Paradise Found from August 7 - 14, 2017 in celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary. This included my husband and myself, three daughters, two sons-in-law, and seven grandchildren ranging in age from 8 - 16. My husband and I had been to St. Thomas many times because it's our favorite Caribbean island (and we've been to them all many times!), but none of our family had. They were amazed at the beauty of this island. We are still in awe of the beauty of Paradise Found. The villa itself is huge and the rooms are incredibly gorgeous. All the amenities possible are included. The setting is phenomenal with breathtaking sunsets, crystal aqua blue water at the shoreline for snorkeling and fishing (accessing the water from a villa is unusual in St. Thomas) and views of Megan's Bay (ranked as one of the ten most beautiful beaches in the world). Lena, the owner, is extremely informative and accommodating, but never intrusive. She actually stocks the villa with food and beverages (including beer, wine and rum!) for the first day so there is no need to grocery shop after a tiring day of traveling. She is always available and is so sweet. Our family had the trip of a lifetime together in paradise! We will definitely be back!

Extended Family Getaway

We had multiple families staying together for an extended family trip (14 ppl total). This property was perfect for us! So many spaces for gathering or relaxing (separately or together). The pool was fantastic and the views were breathtaking. It is a bit of a drive out to the property but well worth it and you get used to the roads pretty quickly. We would recommend renting a car during your stay. Lena and Bob were fantastic. Excellent communication and super responsive on any questions. I highly recommend this house for your visit to St. Thomas!

Unbelievable views from every angle

Our family of 12 stayed here for our annual Xmas vacation. We had plenty of space on the three different levels to spread out and not feel cramped. Views are to die for! Listening to the ocean as we ate every meal out on the extra large table under the covered porch was amazing! The pool was perfect with its bench for the older generations to sit while the teens played in the deeper area. The house comes with a ton of stuff to make things easier like food essentials spices, condiments, etc. the owners give you a good amount of food to start you out so you don’t have to go immediately to the store. The ac worked fine. We had my parents who are in their 80s stay with us which i don’t think was such a great idea. The steps are a bit too much for them to get down to the pool area. The house is great nothing bad to say about it. The neighborhood it’s in is very remote though. You need a car to get anywhere which we had rented a car. If you don’t rent a car it’s expensive to get taxis all the time. Getting out of the gated neighborhood was a bit scary because it’s on a hill and you have to stop the car to enter in a code To open the gate which then requires you to punch the gas once the gate is open to get up the steep hill. We had a fantastic time!

The views were awesome. It was a little further out from other properties we have stayed at in the past. This made planning other activities difficult. It took roughly 30 minutes to get back to the property from anywhere on the island. The property was well stocked and what a nice surprise to have so many groceries available to us the night we arrived. My only complaint wo uld be is that the whole property could use a good deep cleanning, Floors were very dirty as well has showers floors, h

Great stay!

We had the best time during our stay at Paradise Found! The views are unmatched and you really cannot find this anywhere else. The roads up to Peterborg are pretty narrow and winding, but we managed. I loved being so close to Magen's, which really didn't even compare to the other beaches on the island. It is so beautiful and calm and only an 8 minute drive. We would definitely stay again!

This property is incredible. If you stay here don't waste your time booking charters or excursions. It is absolutely beautiful. The snorkeling is some of the best I've seen. You can catch grouper and snapper 100 yards from shore. And the views are amazing. The house is laid out to provide endless spaces to congregate or be by yourself. Lena is great and so helpful.

Amazing family gathering place

Paradise Found is a fantastic place to stay. Our family of 14 gathered there for a week’s vacation and will have a very hard time finding better in the future. The owners do a wonderful job caring for the place, between the initial bundle of food (such a nice treat), to having all of the amenities one could imagine. The pool was spectacular, overlooking the water. While people were snorkeling, the young and old were able relax in the pool and watch the activity in the ocean. Plenty of pool toys, as well as ocean toys (paddle board, kayaks, snorkel gear). The snorkeling was simply amazing. We saw plenty of fish (all different colors), and eel, octopus, sting rays, and turtles. We went and snorkeled on St John, as well as other locations around St Thomas, and we all agreed that the best snorkeling was right at the house. The diving pelicans were a hoot to watch as well! On the morning that we were leaving we even had a goat visit, scampering along the rocks. The house is well thought out, plenty of balcony space for everyone with gorgeous views both day and night. The kitchen has plenty of dishes and pots and pans, we cooked our dinner every night. Plenty of towels for bathing and beach going, as well as beach chairs for when someone wants to go and sit on the beach (although we honestly found the best beach time was at the house!) Bob and Lena were great to work with, so helpful and friendly! Would definitely consider coming back!!

About the host

Hosted by Bob & Lena Marshall

Host profile image
Bob Marshall started his first business at the very young age of 13, propagating and growing nursery plants in his parents backyard. He supported himself through high school and a couple of years of college operating a small landscape construction business. At the age of 20 Bob expanded into the hot tub and spa business and after over 30 years has achieved an expert status in hot tub and spa sales and service. "Spa Bob", as some his customers call him, works 7 days a week, with the exception of 3 weeks a year when he and his wife Lena escape to different exotic locations. Evidence of this is noted in Bob's wardrobe. He will usually be seen sporting one of many T-shirts purchased during his extensive travels.

In 2014 they took their passion for exotic locations to a new level and purchased a 6 bedroom, 4-1/2 bath vacation Villa in beautiful St Thomas USVI, thus expanding their business into the vacation rental industry.

Bob's wife Lena joined him in the business in January of 2012, after retiring from 8 years as an HR and Accounting Manager. Bob and Lena's main goal is nothing less than EXCELLENT customer service and satisfaction!

Why they chose this property

Paradise Found Villa's unique architecture and unusual location is nothing less than magical! Just a short walk to Picara Point, where you will feel like you are in the middle of the sea, with nothing but water all around you. A truly wondrous location!

What makes this property unique

The Villa has it's own private small beach comprised of sand, coral and rock, just steps from the villa with access to the amazing and vast coral reefs directly below the Villa. There are 2 spacious verandas, one on each level, as well as a huge lower deck, nearly 1500 sq ft of amazing view, a perfect spot for a boutique wedding!

Next to the lower deck is a multilevel pool, with in-water bar stools, in-water bench, shallow area for in-water loungers, as well as a deep area for swimming.
