Om boendet

Den "Cottage" pÄ Lions Gate - SpektakulÀr utsikt i lummiga omgivningar

Min man Chris och jag har bott pÄ St. Thomas i över 20 Är. Han kom att dyka, jag kom för att segla. Vi trÀffades av en slump och upptÀckte vi bÄda har en kÀrlek till vattnet och VÀstindien livsstil. Chris Àr mycket begÄvad och visste att han ville leva hÀr permanetley, sÄ han byggde ett hus pÄ toppen av kullen. Vi gifte 1995, och ofta talade om att göra hem vi Àlskar tillgÀngliga för gÀster. Under 2008 utökade vi att ta emot gÀster i vÄr nedervÄningen studio. Vi Àr mycket nöjda med hur det blev som det fÄngar den karibiska livsstilen som vi Àlskar.

LÀgenheten har varit sÄ populÀrt att vi bestÀmde oss för att bygga en stuga i ett sovrum. Det tog ett Är och jag Àr sÄ glad att sÀga att vi Àntligen klar den 4 juli. Independence day har ny innebörd. Det Àr en karibisk dröm stuga med fantastisk utsikt. Vi förundras över hur mÄnga kolibrier kalla lÀgenheten hemma och nu verkar det som de gröna papegojor har upp bor i tress i nÀrheten av bostaden.

Jag Àr sÀker pÄ upp kommer att Àlska det ocksÄ. Den rymliga veranda Àr ett perfekt sÀtt att njuta av din första kopp kaffe eller att luta sig tillbaka pÄ kvÀllen och titta pÄ fÀrgerna förÀndras över öarna med en kall dryck i handen. Passadvindarna kommer att hÄlla dig sval nÀr du sitter utanför frÄn frukost till middag, och naturligtvis om det behövs det finns luftkonditionering.

Min make, Chris, och jag bor pÄ fastigheten. Vi hjÀlper dig att njuta av din semester pÄ alla sÀtt vi kan. Bara be om lokala tips om restauranger och aktiviteter.

Loved the views. It was right on the harbor so was noisy early mornings. The driveyway was steep but we were warned about this. Parking was limited but also warned. Hostess had everything we needed for the beach which was a great surprise!

Perfection. Charming Caribbean cottage. High on a hill with unmatched views of the harbor and surrounding islands. Tradewinds that cool the warm temperatures. Cottage has many unique features including handcrafted furniture and mahogany woodwork. Hosts that are warm, welcoming and helpful. Treat it well. We will be back next year. Tom and Carolee, 2024

Beautiful view!

The view was spectacular as advertised. The cottage was clean and Maxine was a very responsive host. If you decide to stay here keep in mind that, as described in the posting, you have to drive up a steep road which can be a bit unnerving. I walk a lot and I love to do steps and hills, but the walk up from Red Hook is not something most people will want to do. My husband got to the top and said "no way am I walking up". I wouldn't consider this a walkable location. There were parts of the unit we really enjoyed: the view, the huge shower, the use of the coolers and beach chairs. The things we were less excited about included: kitchen wasn't very well equipped compared to places I would rate 5 stars, the furniture wasn't very comfortable and the unit could use some updates, for example, most rentals have upgraded to kurig coffee makers. Also, keep in mind that this is directly above Red Hook and the noise from the road and the bars carries up the hill.

Simply lovely

This was my first to the USVI, and I’m so glad I found this place. It was perfect for a solo traveler like me and would be great for a couple (and a child could sleep on the futon in the living area.) I felt safe with Max & Chris there and the fact that it is gated is a plus. Of course Louis (the sweet dog) was an added bonus (and there a gate on the porch if you’re not up for his visits.) Speaking of the porch, the view is superb. When I was at the apartment, I spent nearly all of my time on the porch unless I was sleeping. Max & Chris are great. They were always available to answer a question or provide assistance. And they’re nice! I could not have asked for better hosts. I ate at several good restaurants in Red Hook (Urban XO, Agave), which is walkable but recommend getting a (small) car so you can more easily explore the nearby bays/beaches and other restaurants. In short, definitely recommend and hope to make it back for another amazing holiday.

Great view but have a rental car!

Beautiful view to wake up to everyday, having a morning coffee on the balcony and seeing the sunrise every morning was awesome. Listen to their recommendation they give in the listing when they say to have a car. Absolutely have a rental car to stay here. We were two in shape young adults and it was brutal walking up the hill 2-3 times a day in the heat. The location is great though for red hook restaurants and bars. Catamaran dock ports and scuba diving right there. You need a cab to get to any beach but they aren’t far at all! Fav one was secret harbor beach. Definitely check out duffys love shack down the hill- super fun place.

Lovely guest house with incredible views!

We had a wonderful stay at the Cottage! The #1 reason we picked this place was the views and they did not disappoint! The host was friendly and easy to communicate with via text or through the app. They live next door. Pros: The views and the sunrise are incredible! Walking distance to Duffy's Love Shack, a great little Tiki bar with $5 happy hour cocktails Short drive to Secret Harbor beach resort where there is a beach with great snorkeling The host provided beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, and snorkeling equipment The host provided plenty of drinking water The host is easy to get in contact with Cons: There is only Air conditioning in the bedroom and if you leave it on when you're not home it's a $25 charge. It will be hot and humid until you run the AC for a bit The tap water in St Thomas tastes weird so the shower water also smells a little weird. Maybe it's like that everywhere? The bath towels also smelled a little weird but not enough that we asked for a replacement. Hiking back up the hill from the tiki bar to the cottage is a workout. It's ok at night but when the sun is out it's pretty brutal. There is a designated place to park but getting in and out is a little tight. We rented a Toyota Camry and it fit but it definitely struged on some of the steep hills

My partner and I took a vacation to the Virgin Islands for the first time in August. We chose to stay in Redhook because it was near many beaches, restaurants and shops. The cottage was a cozy and comfortable place and our view was astonishing! We couldn’t get enough of it, and the place was well kept and it offered many amenities that it made our stay extremely convenient. Thank you Maxine, Chris and louie for your hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to one day return to this amazing place 💗

Beautiful views and great location

Wonderful stand alone cottage with great front porch to take in the views of Red Hook harbor and St John. Location is great for taking advantage of local beaches. It was 20 minutes to Magens bay which was our favorite, Cottage is close to the town of Red Hook which has the best selection of stores, restaurants and Happy Hours!! Hosts are on site and very responsive when we needed anything. Yet you have absolute privacy. They also gave us great tips for things to do. The road up to the cottage is steep and windy ( like many of the roads on St Thomas) so make sure you rent a car that can handle it. We had a Jeep.

Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!!

After reading so many wonderful reviews, we knew that we wanted to stay here! Maxine and her husband Chris are THE nicest people and helpful with any questions we had about places to go on the island. The cottage was as beautiful as the pictures show and the view was the best part!! The driveway is steep but we had a compact car that was perfect to get us up and down the hill and to cruise around the island. Maghan's Bay and Sapphire Beach were our favorites beaches in St. Thomas. Per Maxine's recommendation, we LOVED the patio at Sunset Grill and the bars in Red Hook (just down the hill from the cottage). We took the car ferry one day to St. John and loved that we could drive wherever we wanted. We also spent another day at St. John without the car and everything was within walking distance or a quick shuttle ride. We just got home and already miss the cottage and Louie the sweet dog that would stop by to say hi. Anyway, you should stay here and you will not regret it! We hope to go back someday!!!

Best Vacation Ever, I told Lisa (my girlfriend) this vacation experience will be hard to top! We stayed for almost 2 weeks and the cottage was perfect for us, and we will be staying again. It felt like home, or at least the home we want :) . We ate most of our breakfasts and dinners at the cottage since no restaurant could provide us a better atmosphere or view than the one from our cottage. The kitchen had everything we needed. This felt more like local living and less like being a tourist. We rented a car, but used it rarely since it is so convenient to walk to Red Hook or to the ferry to St John. The driveway is steep and you can’t get up it when it’s wet, unless you have a 4 wheel drive, which we didn’t. It only impacted us on the first day. Maxine kindly drove us up with our luggage and groceries. There are parking spots at the end of the driveway if it is slippery. There was plenty of room to park 3 SUVs at the top of the driveway, and easy to do a 2-4 pt turn to face forward going down hill. Walking up/down the hill to Red Hook may be a challenge for some, so consider getting a rental/taxi. However for those in average or better shape, it’s doable (I did some sprint intervals on it
humble brag :) We enjoyed the visits from Louie their dog, Oscar the gecko, a frog, a humming bird, and a couple iguanas even ran across the driveway. Some reviews mentioned the noise from the town, but we enjoyed seeing and hearing the sounds of activity and life going on. It’s

Wickedly steep hill = amazing views

We loved our stay in this beautiful cottage on a hill overlooking Red Hook. The view was absolutely breathtaking and so peaceful. As we did not rent a vehicle, it was nice being able to walk down the hill to Red Hook where there's a grocery store, several restaurants, some shopping, and the ferry to St. Johns. Walking up the hill can be brutal though (not the distance, just the incline) and we only ended up walking up once. But, again, Red Hook is a popular place, so snagging taxies outside Bernie's to take us up was pretty easy. You could hear the town from time to time, but we didn't find it excessive. In fact, except for at night, we pretty much left all the doors and windows open. The weather was perfect. The owners Maxine & Chris were very accommodating and helpful. Would definitely return to the Cottage if visiting St. Thomas again. Thank you for offering this lovely place.

Absolutely perfect!

The house is lovely and well appointed. Everything we needed in the kitchen to have coffee and make breakfast right there. The view is amazing! Wrap around covered porch allowed us to enjoy the outside even when we had a bit of rain. Very comfortable. Maxine and Chris are gracious hosts and Louie visited regularly lol. You can close the gate if you’d prefer to not have visits from Louie. The walk up and down the hill was very doable for us. We are fairly active but not young. If you’d prefer not to walk it, a taxi will gladly take you up for $5 pp (feb 2022). We will definitely book with them again when we return to St Thomas and recommend to all of our family and friends!

Beautiful, Serene and Cozy

The cottage has amazing views that span over Red Hook towards St. John and across the island. The cottage was very snug, has a cistern that collects rainwater and filters in for clean water and showers. The porch had an almost 180 degree view of the sea, with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The shower is open and is perfect for cleaning off the day's salt and humidity. We felt safe, comfortable and had everything we needed to either eat in, watch TV, play games or just relax. For the more adventurous, like us, we left our car and walked from the home down to Red Hook main strip, where we were able to enjoy wonderful meals and drinks. You won't be disappointed staying here.

Stay Here!

Our stay at the cottage was wonderful, and I am so glad we choose this place to stay for the second half of the honeymoon. It was a such a change of pace to be up amongst the trees with amazing views. The location was great being so close to town, however, I HIGHLY recommend a car while staying here. Is the walk back up the hill feasible? Yes, of course. But is it something I'd want to do? No way. My husband and I are both active people that go hiking quite often, but the thought of walking back up after dinner and some drinks, or a long day of hiking and exploring elsewhere, is not something we even entertained doing! That would be our biggest negative about the house, but something that is easily overcome! We were so glad to have the coolers and beach towels to use, and everything we could have needed during our stay was already at the cottage. We loved coming back after our day out and relaxing out on the porch, and especially loved when Louie would visit us!

Chris and I came from different parts of the country, He from California and me from New York City. He came to dive and I came to sail. We both had businesses doing just that.
We have both retired and enjoy traveling and sharing our wonderful property with guests.

Varför vÀrden valde detta boende

The view and the breeze are something I never get tired of. Not even after all these years. It would be hard for us to ever move from here. The parrots and hummingbirds are personal friends.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

We are close to everything but feel a million miles away when we reach the top of the hill.

The breeze keeps us cool year round. You can sit out on the porch with views of the active harbor and see St John just across Pillsbury Sound.

Easy to go down the hill for dinner or to the market.
You can easily catch the ferry to St.John or Tortola in the BVI at the bottom of the hill.
