About this property

Villa Eau Claire - Magens Bay Affordable Beachfront Villa

Villa Eau Claire is a private gated affordable beachfront home directly situated on Magens Bay. Walk into the water at roughly half the price of any other waterfront home in the Virgin Islands. The property has 4 private individual villas each with breathtaking views of the bay. The Sea Turtle Villa 1 Bed/1 Bath unit located right on a stretch of secluded beach on the world-famous Magens Bay. This private St. Thomas vacation villa rental offers a world of natural beauty and serenity to discerning travelers. Nestled amid lush vibrant flowers and tropical trees with an enormous vista of shimmering bay waters right at your disposal, this is the perfect oasis for discovering the true meaning of a Caribbean paradise. In addition to the peaceful seclusion provided by the villa, guests will find the vibrant nightlife, charming boutiques, and fine dining restaurants of St. Thomas just a few minutes away from home. Whatever brings you to St. Thomas, once you stay with us you will join the many number of our guests who return and tell their friends and relatives, "Stay at Villa Eau Claire. It was extraordinary."
This villa measures 1,000 square feet and is situated at a small elevation just above the sandy beach, accessible via a short stairway. Inside a spacious living room has been comfortably furnished for leisurely afternoons spent indoors, and a kitchen has been well-equipped for your convenience. A wraparound deck runs the length of the unit, offering premier al fresco living/dining experiences – especially beautiful when the sun sets each night.
This villa has one bedroom that can comfortably accommodate 2 guests, an ideal oasis for a couple vacation to St. Thomas.
Villa Eau Claire has undergone recent renovations to the property. Freshly painted, beautiful new landscaping, outdoor lighting, and new decor make this villa relaxing and enjoyable. The villas are large and inviting and the bedrooms private and peaceful. Once you have experienced this idyllic location you will return year after year. The warm Caribbean breezes that gently blow through each villa make air conditioning unnecessary.
The sound of the waves below will lull you to sleep each night. We invite you to come relax on a secluded beach with friends/family and truly soak in the beauty of this very special property.

This is an excellent vacation property, great location, great view and a warm inviting unit. The open floor plan gives you more than enough room relax and enjoy the leisure of a beech vacation. There is great access to a small beach and two good sized decks at the water’s edge. Magens bay is one of the largest bays on the island and a host to sea turtle, pelicans, sea gulls and other wildlife. We had a great time and Rick was an attentive, friendly and helpful host.

Perfect getaway!

The house is exactly as listed. The owner was very helpful with anything we needed. We saw more wildlife snorkeling right here than we did when we paid to go out on a chartered snorkeling trip. The house had several extra things that we didn't even know we needed until we go there (snorkeling gear, dry bag, beach chairs, and more) We would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect Location and Amazing Host

This was our first time in the US Virgin Islands, and it won’t be our last! Our son was getting married at a nearby venue, and we wanted to be close by (but not too close). The views and breezes off the large porch were a highlight, and it was easy to swim or snorkel to Magens Bay Beach. The location was convenient for everything we wanted to do on St. Thomas, the unit was exactly as pictured, and the host was responsive and very easy to communicate with. All of our expectations were met or exceeded!Wish we had been able to stay a few more days….

Views and blues in paradise

What a beautiful place to relax and just watch the amazing sea life below or swim looking out over all the perfect blues, and snorkel with turtles and pelicans diving in feet away. The villa is pristine with such an elegant coastal decor with great artwork. Very easy checkin. Lots of steps if you are mobility challenged be aware. Overall outstanding. Great communication with our host as well. Thank you for introducing us to St Thomas for two St John and BVI trippers We hope to return soon.

WONDERFUL

Everything we wanted for a relaxing vacation. Beautiful view of Megan's Bay with a private beach. and own covered porch. Clear water with sea turtles, fish, even a glance of a stingray. Yacht watching was fun. A quieter side of the island, but going downtown was no problem. The area is very hilly, so there are many stairs to get around the compound. Something to consider if you have compromised health.

Slice of paradise

We loved staying at Villa Eu Claire on Magens bay! The pocket beach was great to access the water and we were most surprised to watch the pelicans, turtles and tarpon from the balcony every morning and throughout the day. The villa had everything we needed for our stay and even had a few beach towels and snorkels for us to use. It really was an idyllic spot to stay!

Anniversary Trip

We've stayed in St. Thomas three different times, this was by far our best stay. Probably one of the best views on the island as well as a private beach which is unheard of in St. Thomas. The owner was very hospitable and even gave my wife a paddle board lesson. We watched turtles from the balcony each night and the property was very spacious for a one bedroom. Would definitely stay there again.

Great location, cozy lodging

We really enjoyed this place! Great views of Magen’s Bay and marine life along with a fantastic beach that had some of our favorite snorkeling - right there! I would recommend bringing eye covers because there are not blackout drapes, so your days start really early. Outside of that it was fantastic!

Paradise

This, by far, is the best property we have stayed at. We saw dolphins, sea turtles every day, sting rays and pelicans fly right by the balcony. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The only suggestion I have is I would have liked some shade at the private beach. We would have never left the property if we had a shaded area to sit under; but unfortunately the sun is so hot we drove to other beaches and had to pay for umbrellas and chairs which was kind of annoying when the house comes with a beach.Other than that, I give it a 10/10.

Megen’s bay retreat

We very much enjoyed this location. The view was amazing with sea turtles visible from the deck. Private entrance to the pristine waters, and very entertaining iguanas and pelicans. We did some unwinding, and enjoyed the water and snorkeling. Even swam over to the beach bar one day for lunch and a cocktail. Rick was very helpful with where to shop and eat. We would love to come back!

Simply Beautiful!

Pictures are what attracted us to the place. In person, it was even better. Very much enjoyed the pocket beach you see. The sea life in the area was much more than I expected. Sea Turtles were all around, pelicans were diving into the water on a regular basis. Under the sea, even much more.
