Lion's Gate Getaway- Lush Setting. Check for seasonal discounts

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.

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.

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.
