We had made several trips to St Thomas over the years on vacations. We also traveled to other locations, but there is just something we love about the people and water here. When we decided to make the leap to purchase a place we could call our own, and yet rent out when we aren't able to be there we looked at many different locations in St Thomas. There are quite a few that are actually on the beach, but we kept coming back to Point Pleasant where we have spectacular views from the condo, the pool, and just about anywhere on property. We do have a small beach on the property that is a beautiful walk down from our place. And its a very short drive to several other beaches, and even walking distance (about a mile) to Coki beach, where diving and snorkeling is great. We also like the short drive to Red Hook, to enjoy the great food, nightlife (ok we don't ever stay out late) and the ferry to St John or the BVI. Its also a very short drive to several locations to charter boats for fishing or cruising.
Getting to town is also a short drive, as is the airport. There is so much to do and see, we always are looking forward to our next trip, and our new adventures.
