The villa was a perfect size and had fantastic views. Great place to unwind undisturbed. Having private access to the Bay and on a quiet area of the island was a big plus.
This place was absolutely amazing. The view was stunning, the water was crystal clear, and the whole experience was unforgettable. Five-star stay and we’re definitely coming back!
Over the years, we have stayed at four other properties on St. Thomas prior to Villa Eau Claire, and this one is the best! The views and pocket beach are outstanding and the interior is exactly as advertised. Communication with Rick was great and even though other units were also occupied, it felt like we had the property to ourselves. The beach and waterfront decks are great places to watch the turtles that swim by and the pelicans diving to catch fish. If you’re into a chill experience away from the hustle and bustle of Charlotte Amalie and Red Hook, this is the place for you. We will be coming back!
Rick was a great host. Responded promptly to any questions we had. He would text us to see if everything was ok or if we needed anything. We could see the sea turtles swim from are balcony. Absolutely gorgeous spot on Megan’s Bay!
Beautiful villa overlooking Magen's Bay offered the perfect amount of solitude and relaxation. We spent our days relaxing in the sun and snorkeling with sea turtles, rinse and repeat.
Absolutely amazing. Rick is the perfect host, with detailed instructions on how to get in and super-communicative. One of AC units broke during our 90-degree stay, and Rick was able to move us to another unit that was available, after trying dilligently to get the unit fixed. The unit is beautiful in a gorgeous location overlookingmagens bay. We saw pelicans and sea turtles from our deck! Could not say enough about this magical place. Hope to stay here again on our next visit!
This is the second time we have stayed at this property. The view of Magens Bay is striking as well as the convenience of direct beach access
It is our favorite place to stay on St Thomas

We are thrilled you love Villa Eau Claire as much as we do! It truly is a remarkable, magical property with a KILLER location! We hope to see you soon for your 3rd visit at VEC! Thanks again for choosing to stay with us.
This place was in a great location with beautiful views. For VI first timers they conveniently meet you at the airport to drive to the place which was awesome. Owner was super accommodating, found snorkel gear for us and showed us around the island a bit. Great place!

Thank you for such a nice review, hope to see you again soon!
A backyard of crystal clear turquoise blue Caribbean water was the perfect backdrop for our 19th anniversary. We Started every day walking down the steps to the private Magens Bay beach entry and a snorkel sea turtle search. Found several every day. We traveled alot of the St. Thomas on this trip and Couldn’t imagine having stayed anywhere else and enjoying this as much as we did. Thanks Rich. Save us a spot we will be back!
Fantastic. 6 days of relaxing, snorkeling, dining, resting. The island has a great pace, plenty of time for reading, hiking, swimming with the turtles, and a day trip to St. John. The accommodations were just excellent. Hosts are available and responsive, but not obtrusive in any way. We’ll be back.
It was our first time coming to St. Thomas and we couldn’t have picked a better spot to stay! With the private beach access in Magen’s Bay, we felt like it was paradise! The property was so quiet and quaint, we felt like it was a home away from home. We loved waking up to the sting rays and swimming with all the sea turtles in the crystal clear water.
Cannot say enough about this gorgeous villa perfectly located in Magens Bay. We had near constant view of turtles and even saw dolphins and a sting ray among other things. A bit of a trek to Magens Bay beach but totally doable and great exercise whether you walk or swim. The owner was onsite when we were there and very responsive to any needs. Also of note, there is laundry available on the premises, we would have packed way less had we known. Book this place you won’t be disappointed “.
We loved our stay! Couldn't have been happier with the location, secluded and peaceful. We saw sea turtles everyday, Little Magens beach was private and perfect for snorkeling. The view from our balcony was truly breathtaking. Alot of stairs but well worth it
Perfect getaway! Villa was just as described ... and more! Beautiful postcard view of blue water and white sand from the balcony. Super easy access to the beach. Great value for such an amazing location! We will definitely come back!

We are looking forward to having you again as our guest at Villa Eau Claire! We appreciate the fantastic review, thank you!
The villa was spacious and clean with a lovely view of sea turtles, pelicans and iguanas from the balcony where we ate each day. The pocket beach down the stairs offered fun snorkeling and everything on the island is a 20 minute or less drive away.
