A little piece of paradise

We truly enjoyed our stay at Stonehouse! The property, the view, and overall experience was amazing! Joanie was so wonderful - she really does what she can to ensure her guests are happy and we really appreciated her! We will definitely be back!

Birthday Vacation

This little apartment was wonderful. Stocked well, very clean, air-conditioned, everything worked. It was my birthday and the hosts left some very nice birthday notes and a bottle of champagne. The location was great, close to a lot of restaurants and the ferry to St John, and the boats going to the BVIs. Communication with the hosts was perfect. We will be booking again for next year.

Awesome Views. Great Location. Friendly Owners.

This is a wonderful location with the best views of the ocean you will find. Affordable, very clean, great landscaping. Well supplied kitchen. Friendly owners that are very helpful. We have stayed in many locations on St. Thomas and this ranks right at the top. You can not go wrong when staying at this rental. We enjoyed this vacation thanks to the peaceful times spent with the ocean view from this rental. Thank you to the owners, Joanie and Robert.

Great Value

Neat as a pin, beautiful view, quaint, well provisioned with everything you need for your stay, responsive host, ferry and beaches nearby, small bathroom but vanity in the bedroom works well, wonderful deck overlooking Secret Harbor, 4 minutes from groceries. This is for independent travelers who like authentic experience! You will have an occasional ant or mosquito because of the open air nature and grounds surrounded by trees but this didn’t bother us a bit!

Wonderful!

The Larimar was absolutely beautiful. We were just blown away by the view of the ocean and spent many mornings just sitting on the porch taking in the view. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed from clean towels, dishes, stove, grill, a/c you name it. It was great to be able to use the snorkel gear, especially just a couple minutes down the road at Secret Bay Harbor. Joanie and Robert were just lovely people who were eager to help in any way they could. We would definitely stay here again!!!

We stayed in the Larimar condo and our friends were in Sea Glass - there are not enough words to express our stay in St Thomas and at Stonehouse. It was AMAZING! Joanie and Robert were friendly and helpful! The apartments are exactly as shown. I am looking at Delta flights tonight for a return trip. THANK YOU for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

Best vacation!

My husband and I spent our honeymoon here and had an amazing time! Friends of ours stayed in a condo here the week before us and they loved it also. Joan greeted us when we arrived making sure we had everything we needed. We didn't have to contact the owners during our stay, but I know If we did they would have been very accommodating to anything we needed. We were able to use the snorkeling equipment which was awesome and we used it almost everyday traveling to all the different beaches. The location was perfect. Secret Harbor which is down the street was perfect for snorkeling and for happy hour at Sunset Grille. The drinks and appetizers there are amazing! Can't wait to go back for a future anniversary! Thank you Joan and Robert!

second home

This was my second stay at Stonehouse. Last year my wife and I took Sunflower which is the studio with a fantastic deck with a hammock! This year we took Larimar. A perfect one bedroom. The view from this place is unbelievable. A 180 degree view of Nazareth Bay and the Caribbean Ocean. Some days you can see St. Croix in the horizon. The host of this excellent rental are Joanie and Robert. I now feel as I have found the perfect place for my St. Tom visits. I have been visiting the USVI's regularly since '92 and have stayed many places. This is where I will be staying when I visit.

Scenic retreat

We had a wonderful stay at Stonehouse in the Larimar unit. This accommodation has a fantastic view and is just a short walk to the beach at Secret Harbour where the water is calm and full of fish. Our one bedroom unit was clean, comfortable and incredibly well stocked with kitchen utensils and tons of linen. Joanie and Robert are excellent hosts, always nearby and responsive to any inquiries. We really appreciated Joanie's offer to take us to a nearby grocery store to stock up on food for the week. Stonehouse is a short cab ride to Red Hook which has fun restaurants and night life. We caught the ferry to St. John where we hiked and had a swim at Honeymoon Beach which was lovely! Cabs from Stonehouse were easily accessible and reasonable- the best company we found was Kelly Taxi as they are stationed nearby at the Ritz Carelton. This is a relaxing, welcoming accommodation and we would definitely return.

Awesome

We stayed right before Christmas and it was wonderful. Joan greeted us as soon as we arrived and gave a tour. The views are even better in person and the apartment is great. We had breakfast and drinks on the balcony daily. The unit is very comfortable and the kitchen has all the necessities. It was quiet and very private at the unit. The location is very convenient to Red Hook for restaurants and bars. It was a five minute drive. We also enjoyed Secret Harbor and using the beach chairs and cooler provided. We walked several times down to Secret Harbor for food and drinks as the walk back up the hill is steep but very doable. We decided to drive and park with the beach gear as that that would have been quite the hike back up the hill with lots of items. Overall, it was great and we would definitely stay again.

Anniversary in Paradise!

My wife and I returned to St. Thomas for the first time since our honeymoon 21 years ago. We ran across Stonehouse online and recalled that we walked in the general area decades prior and really liked the area... the peacefulness, views of the water and constant breeze on the ridge. The setting at Stonehouse was just as we recalled. It was peaceful and there was always a breeze. So constant was the breeze that we did not need AC for the duration of our stay (9 days). You can see the views from the photos; they are even more stunning in person. As described, the bathroom is small, but adequate. The main living area has glass doors that open onto a deck that allow both the breeze and the view to flood indoors. The kitchen is small but had everything we needed, including a basic spice drawer. And, our hosts told us that if there was anything we needed, to just ask. Our hosts, Joanie and Robert, were friendly and responsive throughout the process and our stay. Since they live on the property, any question we had was answered promptly. We look forward to returning, and would definitely stay at Stonehouse again!

Stunning Views

What makes this place great? The view. Unobstructed 180 degree South facing oceanfront panorama of the Caribbean with bays, peninsulas and small islands. Awesome sunsets. We saw a turtle and a spotted eagle ray from the balcony. The location. A short drive (could even walk) to Secret Harbor Beach. One of the nicest small beaches on the island with great snorkelling. Very quiet. I can’t recall hearing any traffic the whole time we were there. The Larimar unit is on the first floor so it stays relatively cool. The owner was welcoming with directions and helpful with advice on what to do. Things you should know. Be aware that this place is a very small apartment (mostly the bathroom, kitchen and living room were small while the bedroom was spacious). We had no issues with the size, but I can see others finding it too tight. Best things to do.

Fabulous Stay at Stonehouse

This is our second time staying at Stonehouse. We have stayed in both Sunflower and Larimar. You will not be disappointed. Robert and Joanie deLugo are incredibly welcoming, provide information of things to do while in the islands and are very accommodating. That is one of the many things that makes staying at Stonehouse so nice, all the little things that you don't think of but the deLugo's have. Stonehouse has beach chairs, coolers, snorkel gear, binoculars to see all of the ships sailing by, books to read and many other things that I have forgotten about, but make your trip nicer and more enjoyable. Not to mention all of the standards that you would expect. That doesn't even include the balcony that looks over secret harbor and into a private cove which are surrounded by blooming trees and cactus, truly a beautiful place to stay. The views are spectacular. The location is perfect as well, you can walk down the hill to secret harbor which is a fabulous beach with two restaurants and water activities rentals. You can also drive 5 min into the town of Redhook with restaurants, bars, grocery store etc. and the ferry terminal to all the other islands. We went back and will be going back again you should as well.

Larimar stay was perfect!

This is the place to stay if you want stunning views and quiet! It was very private. The oranges and reds from the sunrise woke me up in the morning. The view from the balcony of Secretharbor is truly stunning. The hosts are very gracious and go out of their way to make your stay there perfect. I can’t say enough good things about this special place. I WILL be back.

No worries, great views

The property is beautiful landscaped and maintained. We stayed in The Larimar Suite and it was perfect getaway for my husband and I to celebrate 25 years of marriage. The porch over looking Secret Harbor was enjoyed day and night to take in the views and relax after a day of snorkelling, hiking or kayaking. The location to Red Hook was convient to go in for meals, catch the ferry to St. John's or easily explore the beaches on St. Thomas. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Stonehouse and would HIGHLY recommend it! Thank you to our hosts for opening their beautiful home and allowing us to truly get away!

Amazing views

We have really enjoyed our short stay at Larimar. The views are breathtaking. It was so refreshing to sit outside and have breakfast while admiring the ocean views. The apartment is comfortable and has AC, Wi-Fi, kitchen basics and very nice beach chairs. Location is great, just a few minutes from groceries, restaurants and nice beaches. Joanie was very responsive, helpful and courteous.

Beautiful house with great hosts

Joanie was the best! Her communication and help was top notch. She drove us to the grocery store to stock up after we arrived. The house was clean and tidy and the view was AMAZING. We spent most of our time at the house outside on the balcony with the incredible views of the blue water. The bathroom is a small with not much in the way of a countertop, so if you need a lot of space or a fancy bathroom one of their other rentals is probably better for you. We had no issues. Thank you Joanie, we hope to be back soon.

Amazing vista of Secret Harbor and the Caribbean

We had a lovely stay at Larimar-Stonehouse. The bungalow was clean, comfortable and Caribbean cozy. Constant breeze, close to Secret Harbor where our friends live. Highly recommending to our friends who are looking for a tropical get away and we will stay again. Joan and Robert are excellent hosts. Thank you for sharing a piece of your paradise.

Our go-to place when visiting St Thomas.

Close to restaurants, beaches and the view can't be beat. The property is well maintained. The owners are super friendly and helpful. Ferry dock is only a short 5 minute drive. This is our go-to place to stay when visiting St. Thomas.
