About this property

Casa Blanca - the White House in the Caribbean

Located approximately 4 miles from downtown Charlotte Amalie and about 250 feet above Morning Star Beach, Villa Casa Blanca is designed for two to six guests.Two spacious one-bedroom, one-bath suites flank one side of the pool and deck, while the master bedroom and bath are lifted above the light and breezy living room, kitchen, and dining areas on the opposite side. All bedrooms have banks of sliding glass doors, with patios and breathtaking views of the clear, blue Caribbean and white sand beaches below.

Enjoy your meals by the pool, watching cruise ships and sleek sail yachts approaching or departing the harbor, while the tropical trade winds comfort you. You will enjoy the almost perfect climate without the whining of air conditioners.

What can you do to enjoy your time? Lime-in’, freely translated means Doing nothing and enjoying it, as first choice! The 18 hole golf course is about 15 minutes away. Tennis Courts can be reached within 3 minutes at Frenchman’s Reef Hotel.

The Virgin Islands are among the few diving paradises left. In only three days, you can be a PADI or certified diver! If diving is not for you, a 48 passenger submarine lets you enjoy the unbelievable underwater beauty without getting wet. Snorkeling is also available not only on St. Thomas, but also on the famous beaches of St. John, only a short ferry ride away, and do not forget about wind surfing, sailing, and para-sailing!

St. Thomas is surely the jewelry capital of the Caribbean, but there are also truly terrific bargains on crystal, china, cosmetics, designer leather goods, and liquor as well. All are priced up to 50 % less than at home.

More than 20 excellent restaurants are ready for your visit.

In short, Villa Casa Blanca is the vacation spot you will not want to miss because you will remember it forever!

Paradise

Once we opened the front door the view immediately let us know we made the right choice. The location is perfect to enjoy this beautiful island. The accommodations were perfect, comfortable and enjoyable for the entire family. The owner and caretaker made sure that we were happy and well cared for. This is a great place for a family and three couples if wanted.

Heavenly!

I can't speak highly enough about our whole experience at this property! The owner is accessible, warm and friendly and was super easy to work with. We loved the house and pool. So many conveniences and such a comfortable home. Thank you Al!

Magical

The photos do not do this home justice. The views are breathtaking, and the home has such a unique island charm. Ms. Evette kindly freshened our towels for us in the middle of our stay and checked in on us just enough to be helpful and kind. Al messaged proactively and kindly in the days leading up to our trip and when we arrived. Kitchen is dated, maybe, but has everything you could need and the appliances are in good order. We cooked every night and used the gas grill outside three or four times. The pool is just the right size for the four teenagers / young adults in our group to float and have fun. Location is an easy access point to Havensight and all the shops in Charlotte Amalie. Lovely home, would definitely stay again.

Perfect Getaway

This is a beautiful home with plenty of room and everything you need. The pool and property are gorgeous with amazing views of the bay below. There are also lots of beautiful plants and wildlife from birds to iguanas to enjoy! Al was a pleasure to work with, and Evette is so kind and helpful. We visited in June 2021…there was construction going on just below the property…which did sometimes interfere with enjoying the sounds of the waves and the birds, but it was still a wonderful time. Tips for travel, pack enough for your stay…unless you don’t mind having Evette do your laundry. Also they try to conserve water so that’s important to remember. There are coolers available for your day trips to the picturesque beaches, just no chairs on the property so be prepared to rent those, typically $5-10/chair.

This place was everything for myself and my friends. The views are amazing from every angle. I do highly recommend getting a vehicle or you’ll be walking down to the resort to get a taxi.

Great week

My wife and I spent the week here celebrating our wedding anniversary. The property was very clean and the views are amazing! Evett, the property manager who lives downstairs was very helpful and when needed when out of her way to help. This was our first stay on the island, the only visit before was a cruise stop. We learned a lot such as driving on left side of road and there is no Uber! We adapted and enjoyed the week. While we did rent a car, on a couple of occasions we wanted to use a taxi service. It's hard to get a taxi to the house since there are no house numbers. We figured out that driving down to the Marriot cab stand and asking the driver to follow us back worked out well. Also, food deliveries we used St. Thomas Direct. With St. Thomas Direct you can pin your location on the map and they drive right to you. This was very helpful for our pizza night!

Spacious and well appointed. Great location!

I stayed at the property with my husband and 15 and 17 yo daughters, who each enjoyed having their own master suites. The house is well appointed and has all the necessities, including plenty of towels. We didn’t cook but the kitchen had everything you’d need to cook family meals. The location was perfect, a short drive to Yachthaven and Charlotte Amalie’s shopping and restaurants. I was initially concerned that there is no ac but the weather was perfect (82/73) this tome of year and I really loved feeling the tradewind breezes throughout the house and hearing the ocean at night. Al,the owner, was very responsive and available to answer any questions I had. Great property!

A true home away from home in the middle of paradise

LOVED THIS HOUSE! A true hidden gem! I went with a group of friends who travel together once a year to different islands. We have stayed at similiar properties all around the carribean and we all agreed that this is THE BEST property we have stayed in. It has the charm and character of a house that have really been loved and lived in. The view is gorgeous and we spent every morning watching the sunrise. The house has literally everything you need for a trip- weather it be a speaker to play your music or a kitchen full of everything you need- it was great to stay somewhere and not have to worry about all of those details. Al was a great host and took the time to really give us all the details we need to help make our trip the best possible trip. It was great for a group of friends but would also be a nice place for a big family or couples since every bedroom has its own bathroom, so feels private. Can’t wait to go back!

Great House Wonderful Views

6 of us stayed here after a week of sailing in the BVI’s. It was wonderful. The house was better than we expected, it was very clean and well appointed. The bedrooms are spacious and nicely decorated. The common areas are large and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans and dishes. The view from the pool deck is wonderful! You can sit and watch the cruise ships coming and going. The pool is just right for cooling off. The onsite housekeeper, Evette, was very friendly and helpful. The owner, Al, was quick to answer all my questions. He could not have been more helpful and friendly. This is a wonderful house and will not disappoint. I hope that we will have a chance to stay here in the future. Highly recommend!

literally perfect in so many wasy

if you want an uncompromising experiencing on this island (or just knowing you will have a great time in the islands period) pick this place. the only problem we had was how much we enjoyed hanging out there and not wanting to go anywhere. no comparison when it is someone's home and they care about it vs just set up for renters. the house is great. each room fabulous. the location great and easy to walk to the beach. the thing was really feeling like a home. so warm and welcoming. feeling great being there. rubbing mango the dog's belly. the housekeeper so friendly. Al our host was so great with flexible needs before and all during any question I sent he got back right away with totally relevant and useful information. I promise you will like this place even more than fancier homes. I will likely come back to this island just to stay here. Thanks Al.

Breathtaking Views, Great Accomodations

We loved our stay Casa Blanca. The views are breathtaking, the pool was divine, location is excellent, and the house was very clean. The house is located close to the Marriott and a 2 minute drive to a nice public that had food, volleyball court, and water sport rentals. It was also a quick drive (less than 10 minutes) to grocery stores, shops, and restaurants. As for the property, the kitchen was nicely equipped, and making it easy to cook. The owner had almost everything you'd need for the beach; towels, coolers, etc. The bedrooms were spacious and each had its own full bath. My kids enjoyed walking around the property looking at the fruit trees, relaxing in the hammock, and sitting at the table overlooking the magnificent views of the water while doing homework. The owner was helpful, answered all of my questions, and gave suggestions. We have rented numerous homes from these websites and this owner was hands down the best we have ever had. We truly felt at home. I would highly recommend renting this house!

Simpy the best!

We celebrated our New Years 2014 here (the calendar doesn't let me go further than 1 yr ago from today's date) and we had the most amazing time! The property is all that you see in the pictures and more! We had everything that we could wish for in this house and we are so pleased with it. We highly recommend it and we keep thinking about coming back here again and again. Each bedroom has a large king bed and its own bathroom - which is just fantastic. Outdoor area, pool and grill with the most amazing views were unforgettable. The owner was very kind, professional and responsive. Thank you Al for your house and for our treasured memories.

It's a gem!!

Loved our stay at Casa Blanca. The home is impeccable, and the location is perfect. The view is amazing; we watched cruise ships come and go, a perfect view of the water! Six of us had so much privacy in this 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath house. The owner, Al, was more than gracious, willing to answer questions about the house and the island at any given time. I highly recommend this rental.

Pinch me...Is this place real?!

I am known for my critical eye and the fact that I'm typically not easy to please, but nothing about this place will disappoint! I am here to tell you that Casa Blanca II is a dream come true. This amazing home and impeccable setting provided one of the most memorable vacations I have ever had. The islanders will tell you to try the popular drink called 'Painkiller', so be sure to stop at the Gourmet Gallery in Havensight marina and pick up the ingredients so you can whip one up when you arrive at this dream house and offer a toast to the best choice house in paradise!!
