Lion's Gate Getaway- Lush Setting. Check for seasonal discounts
Lions Gate Getaway is a private studio apartment in a lush, tropical setting, humming birds share your 270 degree view of St. John, Tortola and Red Hook Harbor. In just a few minutes you can walk into Red Hook for shopping, dinner, drinks and night life or catch the ferries to St. John and the BVI.
The spacious porch is a perfect way to enjoy your first cup of coffee or to sit back in the evening and watch the colors change over the islands with a cool beverage in your hand as the breeze passes by.
My husband Chris and I have lived on St. Thomas for over 20 years. He came to dive, I came to sail. We met and discovered we both had a love of the water and the Caribbean life style. Chris built this house on the top of the hill, and now we have expanded it to accommodate guests in our apartment that captures the Caribbean life style. We look forward to helping you enjoy your vacation in any way we can. Just ask for local tips on restaurants and activities.

Great place to stay in Red Hook! Much more private than many other spots. Highly recommend a vehicle with 4wd as the hill is steep.

Great place!
Awesome location, authentic vibes, very friendly and accommodating host. Walk down the hill and go to many of the bars/restaurant that line the water. I walked down the hill to get breakfast and coffee many times during my stay. Just be prepared for the uphill walk on the way back! Red hook is an excellent location to stay as many great attractions are near by.

Lions Gate
Me and my fiancé (now husband) came to st. Thomas to get married. We stayed 10 days at Max and Chris' place. It was absolutely beautiful! The apartment was clean and stocked with anything we needed, besides our groceries. And the charm of the place was better than any fancy resort on the island. Just right up the hill from Red Hook. So grocery store, gas station, restaurants, shops, all within minutes from us. It is a steep hill to get up to the property, and a small vehicle is best for pulling all the way up in the driveway. There is also parking available right outside of the gate. Max and Chris were wonderful hosts. Just a text or call away if we needed anything. And their dog Louie was our buddy throughout our stay. All in all, was an beautiful place to stay with an amazing view. And we can't wait to come back!

The Views!
We enjoyed our time at Lion's Gate and the property had all the necessities. The hill is a bit of a challenge the first time up, but after that we did fine both driving and walking it. Location to Red Hook and the ferries is excellent, but with that you may also get noise from the late-night revelers below. We did have to close the windows due to that and then one night of rain. We ate on the terrace watching the harbor activity and enjoying the breeze. A new mattress/box spring may be in order and if they could figure out a way to have a hot tub/jacuzzi with those views, it would add another level of terrific. Chris and Max are good hosts; they communicated, were accommodating and from our interactions seem pretty easy-going. We would stay again.

Lovely Stay Overlooking Quaint Bustling Red Hook
Great patio setting overlooking Red Hook. We could see a lot of the bay area, which made it a great setting for coffee, tea, or cocktail. Could see the comings and goings of the ferry's going over to St. John’s. Easy drive to lots of beaches. Our favorite was Lindquist. Max and Chris were super nice and helpful. Lots of water toys for our enjoyment.

Peaceful Stay In the Trees
I really cannot say enough about this rental. My partner and I were greeted by Max when we arrived who drove down the hill to take us up with our bags. The view from the front porch is incredible. The rental was extremely clean and well maintained. I loved looking at all the little personal touches to the house, it really felt like a well loved home. We also got to meet her husband, Chris, who met us at the grocery store to give us a ride up the hill with our groceries for the week. They both are so kind. Max was able to give us recommendations on where to go and what to stay away from. We loved spending every sunrise sitting on the porch having coffee and breakfast and watching the town below come to life. There was a perfect morning breeze on the porch every day, we really loved being able to open the windows and enjoy the open air. The shower is incredible. Open air, beautiful plants, it was so inviting and refreshing. We stocked the fridge and were able to have many meals at the house as there were plenty of dishes and utensils for us to use. Our favorite part of breakfast was getting to hang out with Louie when he would come to say hi :) If you don't mind the hike, the walk up and down the driveway is steep - but doable. You may need to take a couple of breaks every now and then but we liked it! We felt extremely safe behind the gate and were able to get away from the noise below. We loved getting to know Max and Chris and their history and would definitely stay again!

Beautiful views
The little apartment on the side of the hill was just perfect for us. The drive is steep and a little scary but worth it. The parking was a little stressful. There’s not much room to turn around but we made it lol. If you get the chance talk with the owner he’s a delight. Overall we really enjoyed our getaway and would definitely return.

Nice Place to Spend a Week in Red Hook
Overall this VRBO was OK. The room was nice and had most of what you need to spend a week in USVI. However, a couple of downsides to this property. 1) It is up a VERY steep hill that will take about 10 minutes to walk down and 15-20 minutes to walk up. A taxi will cost about $15-20 to take you up the hill to the property. 2) Power (electricity) is a major problem in USVI and you will loose power about once each day. Sometimes it is for a few minutes and sometimes it is for hours. The property does havea generator, but they turn that off about 10:00 PM. If you do not have power, it will get very warm in the room with no AC.
The hosts are very nice and helpful.

Interesting Stay
Max our host was great. Very informative and responsive. The good- nice place to stay for a couple. Big private patio with lush surroundings. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed including beach stuff. The interesting- the host live upstairs. We thought we were going to be totally alone however we could hear their tv and construction on their other property next door. Parking spaces is very limited so we ended up parking down the steep slippery driveway and walking in and out everyday. You can not walk to a beach from this property and due to the lush nature that has not been trimmed back you can barely see the ocean from the huge porch. You need a rental car to access this property and the beach unless you get a taxi. We paid $10 per person for a cab ride up the steep road and driveway which isn’t even a quarter mile. There is a friendly dog that lives upstairs but graced us with poop on the porch and in the driveway which we had to walk up and down in the dark at night. The host also asked us to check out an hour earlier than the listing states. Over all we enjoyed our stay but this listing should be updated- minimal ocean views, semi private stay and not beach walkable.

Lionsgate comfort
Overall, this property was exactly what we look for. Max and Chris were the perfect hosts.
Safety and comfort are two of our concerns and both
were met perfectly. The location in Red Hook was
walkable to downtown and the Ferry. It is walkable
but up a steep hill and that may be a concern if
you do not rent a car. We did not have a car and as
two older individuals, it was not a problem for
us. Ate on the terrace every day, nice evening breeze, never used AC, beautiful views of harbor and St John. All basic needs provided, and more.
Thank you Max and Chris

Cozy stay, great hosts
This place seemed more "authentic" than the other resort-style properties we looked at, and we're so glad we went with it! The view was wonderful and Maxine and Chris were great hosts with local insights. It was great to be walking distance to Red Hook, but keep in mind the road leading there is very steep, so would only consider it truly "walkable" if you're fairly athletic.

A quiet and restful retreat, ideal for a stay in Red Hook.
Maxine and Chris were generous and considerate hosts; the apartment was well appointed; and the views from the covered porch exceptional—well worth the steep walk up the hill.
We plan to return next year, and absolutely recommend the whole experience to others.

Red Hook/Lions Gate
Beautiful Apartment with overlook of Redhook and Saint Johns. Very appealing decorations/plants. Steep/narrow road to location from Red Hook. Just take your time, stay left and you can make it there safely and it's worth it. Affordable, good wifi and comfortable accommodations. Flowers and chocolates for my wife for anniversary were some of the best I've ever had arranged by locations for our yearly trip! May do again, but we do like to have variety of places we go, we'll see... Thanks Max and Chris!

Words cannot express how beautiful the veiws, and the room/property is. It was wonderful to be so close to town and have the privacy of being tucked away.

Anfitrión: Maxine Lavitt
Chris and I met in St. Thomas. He came to dive and I to sail. Chris had dive boats and I had a day sail boat and business. Couldn't have had a more perfect spot for diving and sailing. We have both retired but still love it that we are lucky enough to live here.
Por qué eligió esta propiedad
Red Hook is on the East End of St Thomas. The breeze comes from the East keeping us cool all year long. We are right above Red Hook the little town. There are restaurants, bars a market and the Ferries for St John depart right at the bottom of the hill.
Qué distingue a esta propiedad
From Lion’s Gate you can stroll down to Red Hook for dinner or to go shopping, or make a quick trip to the grocery store. It is all so close but when you are up here it seems a million miles away.
There are three beaches nearby, two are about 5 minutes by car, Secret Harbor is a hotel so there is a restaurant for drinks and lunch and palm trees for shade. The other beach is my favorite, Lindguist. they have picnic tables and life guards there. The apartment has beach chairs and beach towels for you to use.
All the ferries to ST. John, Tortola and Virgin Gorda depart from Red Hook, you can see them coming and going from the porch.
I always recommend renting a car as it is a great way to explore the whole island and you can even put the car on the ferry to St. John and experience the beauty of the National Park with all its beaches and trails. If you don’t want to rent a car we are just a short walk into Red Hook but it is up a big hill on the way home. There are safari busses at the bottom of the hill. They only go in one direction, clockwise, around the island. But a taxi will take you where ever you want to go.
