About this property

Romantic and Private located high upon St Peter Mountain

A cozy one bedroom apartment -Fenced and Gated, feels like a mini- estate, located on the cool, lush northside of St. Thomas, overlooking picturesque Magen's Bay ( one of the ten most beautiful beaches in the world)

You'll awaken and have breakfast on the deck with the Hummingbirds and Sugar birds having their sugar burst for the day. In the evening watch the last of the Hummingbirds while you have your wine and cheese before dining out or dining in a state of the art kitchen. You might not want to leave as it is so relaxing. Sleep with the tree frogs chirping the night away in the cool breeze.

The kitchen has all stainless steel appliances, Granitetop counters and everything you need to cook a gourmet meal if you desire. There is a gas grill and outdoor furniture for lounging on the deck while you grill your dinner and sip wine.

The livingroom has a couch and granite coffee table. Flat ScreenTV with DVD library and radio/cd player with a CD library. Very comfy room to relax morning, noon or night.

The bedroom has a queen size bed, lots of drawer and closet space in the bedroom. There are ceiling fans in every room to enhance our cool tropical breezes.

Beach chairs, coolers and beach towels are provided. We provide an easy map and written directions to find your way to our little piece of Paradise.

Two Moons Guesthouse

The guesthouse is a cozy, well equipped hideaway, high above Magen’s Bay. Cindie was easy to contact and a very thoughtful and generous hostess. We would love to go back.

Over the Moon for 2 Moons Over Magens Bay

My husband and I loved staying here. We wanted a nice place without a touristy resort vibe and this felt like we had a home in the US Virgin Islands. It was so thoughtful to have breakfast foods stocked so we could relax in the mornings. We also were grateful for the beach chairs. towels & cooler to use on our beach excursions. Cindie & Jon gave us advice on what to see & do and were readily available to answer questions. Loved meeting Petey& Lily!

We had a fantastic time in St Thomas! The property was great. Access was a little tricky but with careful driving or an SUV the driveway is no problem. The place was absolutely beautiful and we can’t wait to visit again!

Romance Relax Adventure

If you're looking for a getaway that combines stunning views, cozy vibes, and a warm, welcoming host, look no further. Tucked away in the heart of nature, this mountaintop destination is the perfect spot for anyone seeking peace, adventure, and breathtaking scenery. Four points to assist... 1. Make sure to upgrade to a Jeep 4x4. 2. Grab some groceries beforehand 3. Input Drake's Seat on GPS-the destination is a mile away 4. Enjoy the easy life!

St Thomas - Megan’s Bay mountainside

Great place to stay. Beautiful view from the deck, tree frog serenade each evening. Well equipped including beach chairs, floats and cooler. Host provided a nice starter kit for breakfast, ice and a welcome gift. She also went out of her way to make sure we were pleased and made it a very special week. Would stay here again in a minute, we hated to have to come home

This was a wonderful location, but people need to be aware that driving here is challenging. The peace and quiet are wonderful. Cindie will help you locate the best sights and hidden gems. Her care and concern is great. It’s the little things she does that makes this a great VRBO stay.

A Peaceful Caribbean Getaway

I had a wonderful solo stay at Two Moons—a peaceful escape with absolutely stunning views. The home is perched on a quiet hillside, offering panoramic ocean scenery that made every sunrise and sunset feel like a dream. The space was clean, airy, and thoughtfully decorated, with everything I needed for a comfortable stay.Cindie was a fantastic host—communicative, warm, and attentive without being intrusive. Her local recommendations were spot-on, and she made sure everything was smooth from check-in to check-out. The bed was comfortable, the linens fresh, and the overall vibe of the house was calm and relaxing.The kitchen was well-stocked for light cooking, and the layout made it easy to settle in and feel at home. My only issue was the coffee maker, which I found full of mold when I went to use it. It was a surprise given how clean the rest of the house was. Even with that small hiccup, my stay was incredibly positive. Two Moons is a perfect spot for anyone looking to relax, reflect, and soak in the natural beauty of St. Thomas. I’d absolutely stay here again.

Romantic mountain getaway

Lovely hosts thought of every amenity needed for a romantic and efficient getaway. Their beautiful mountain property had scenic views, tree-frog serenades, and island breezes. It was very special experience of St Thomas mountain top lifestyle. Accessing the last few hundred feet of the road leading to the unit is very doable but does require confident driving skills, so just take it slow and maybe use low gear and you will make it safely. Highly recommend. Enjoy your stay.

Hidden paradise

Our stay was amazing. The apartment was perfect, clean, comfy, has everything you need to stay a few days or a few weeks. It is in the middle of the forest, and all you hear at night is the sounds of tropical nature. AC isn't needed with the natural breeze. It is cooler in the mountain than at the beach. We sleep with AC at home and we didn't miss it. Best sleep ever! Even though we were on top of the mountain, it takes a few minutes by car to go anywhere. Make sure to get a 4 wheels drive. It is such an adventure. Cindie and Jon are the best host and went out of their way to help us out. I am so thankful for them. We will definitely come back and stay with them in the future.

Lovely Spot -Thoughtful Attention to Guest Needs

Cindie was very kind and made it clear that if there was anything we needed to let her know, But her forethought made that unnecessary. We appreciated the amount of pre-stocked basics along with coffee, eggs, English muffins etc. The bottle of rum and some cokes was a nice touch. There were also many basics in the fridge. (Condiments etc) We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Beach chairs, towels and a cooler for beach outings (even some sunscreen) and beautiful breezes to enjoy upon our return up the mountain. The pictures don’t do justice to the lovely windows/screens that extend the full length of the rental, (beautifully maintained.) for constant enjoyment of the topical breezes and chirping of the coqi! And the deck was lovely. We enjoyed the creative touches throughout the apartment. The tropical landscaping was lovely too. The road up to rental was a challenge the first couple of times (not uncommon on St. Thomas) but was worth the effort!

View is extraordinary! Site worth every penny!

This property was everything that was represented in the pictures I reviewed on the VRBO site. While getting to the location is an adventure (roads are extremely uphill!), it was well worth it once we arrived. I would suggest an SUV as a must for staying (basically anywhere on STT), but this site needs a car that has a higher clearance due to the hills. We had to take our first car back and get an SUV. You can enjoy the sounds of owls, crickets and roosters at all hours of the day! There are hummingbirds and skinks and small salamanders all around the property. The view is spectacular, the patio overlooks Megan's Bay, and you can see Tortola and other islands in the distance as well. There is a Zipline place just below their property, and Mountaintop is a couple miles in the opposite direction from your stay. Mountaintop sets at an elevation of 1526 feet, and this site is not much below that! Mountaintop is great place to buy towels to take to the beach, as well as quality jewelry and other souvenirs--go here first to buy! Views and pictures are spectacular, although pics don't do it justice! Cindie & Jon were wonderful, we had great communication with them before and during our stay (we got lost coming to the site initially!) GPS worked well for us most of the time on both STT & St. John. We dropped a Pin at the site, so it was easier when we returned from our adventures. After the first couple of days, we had the route down and was able to turn GPS off sooner as we became familiar. Encourage you to take the car barge over to St. John at least one day--go to Trunk Bay! GO EARLY, the time flies while over on St.John, and the last ferry back leaves at 5:30. This last ferry is typically very full, so we left at 4:30 to avoid any delays/issues. Two of our favorite places to eat were Greengo's (they have locations on both STT & STJ, although STJ is slightly better) and Tickles Dockside Pub on STT. Take PLENTY of sunscreen, as it is hard to find on the islands! Cindie & Jon provided great scuba gear, chairs, floats & even a cooler if needed. The Cruzan Rum & Cokes they provide was a nice touch, as we needed a drink after getting lost coming to the site! :-) They have wifi & movies as well as Hulu if you're interested. We used Hulu one evening, otherwise we were out of the unit for the most part, only coming home in the evenings at bedtime. Great bonding time for me & my daughter!

Best hosts ever!

Cindie is the ideal host - friendly, extremely helpful and full of information, a great communicator, and John is an extremely talented builder and artist. It only took one day to conquer the challenge of finding their remarkable home high above the most beautiful beach in the island. The room in the lower level was perfectly comfortable and well equipped and the view from the deck was drop dead gorgeous! I think the location was the best area in the island to experience the beauty of St. Thomas during our 4 days of adventures there before traveling to St. John. It was very hard to leave!

No running water, property is difficult to get to

Arrived to vrbo on Sunday 1/23/22, upon arrival there was no running water, owner was on site and said it would be fixed in a couple of hours. We left the apartment and came back that evening. Once we arrived they turned the water on and said it would be off again on 1/24. We had plans to be gone from the apartment during the day on 1/24 so we agreed and told them that we would be in the apartment all day on Wednesday 1/25 and we would need water. On Tuesday evening the owner turned the pump on for a few hours so we could shower and use the toilet. On Wednesday morning, the water went off at 0845am with no notification prior and remained off. At 1430, we contacted the owner again and said we needed to have running water on our vacation. No response received. We decided to leave the apartment as the toilet was full and no communication if water would be turned back on. Our ride arrived at 1650pm on Wednesday and the owners husband had a hose hanging down in front of our unit creating a trip hazard. He said “sorry you didn’t like the place”. We told him that we expected to have running water while we were there and he said “there hasn’t t been any water issues”. We asked for a refund and we were told to “read our contract”. We contacted VRBO but still no resolution. We had to pay for additional lodging for the rest of our trip. In addition to no running water, there is mold in the closet, they have cups tied to the metal rungs on the ceiling and a 5lb Folgers coffee container. It’s not at all the relaxing experience we were needing. The view is limited by overgrowth of foliage and we couldn’t get a taxi to come to the location. The owner told us that she’s tired of doing property management and they are leaving the island before hurricane season. The quality of the property shows that they are indeed tired of it. We wanted to have some peace and instead end up fighting about no running water for days. It’s sad and unacceptable. We have video, pictures and text messages to prove there was no running water and yet they are denying it. Find another property and enjoy your island time!

I grew up on Water Island and met Jon over 30 years ago when he moved to Water Island. Happily married with 4 dogs, Tisha Buddy and Petey and Roxy and our two new Maine Coon kittens, Natasha and Gretchen, our furry family.
I manage 6 vacation rental properties as a full time job. Our new website is up and you will be able to see them all at virginislandsvacationhomes.com
Jon has his wood shop next door he makes custom furniture and his own beautiful sculptures.

Why they chose this property

The location is centrally located and at 1,200 feet, which is only 300 feet from the top. We get great breezes and are ten degrees cooler than sea level. It is very private, fenced and gated and quiet.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is private and quiet surrounded by lush tropical rain forest with a great view of Magens Bay. From the deck you can enjoy the sugar birds and hummingbirds while grilling dinner on the gas BBQ.
