About this property

Lovely, Pet-friendly 2BR with Gorgeous Ocean Views & 3 Beaches Nearby

Discover your own island paradise in this sun-filled Pottery Barn-style island apartment on the top of St Thomas.

Sip mimosas on a balcony overlooking stunning 180° views of the Caribbean Sea over hills and palm trees, or enjoy the view through the floor-to ceiling windows across the entire apartment front. Designed for leaving open throughout the day, Clifftop’s (screened) glass front wall brings in the balmy breezes the island gets at this height 10 months of the year (our famous trade winds)!

This is an opportunity to enjoy island flavor in a gracious setting. It is comfortable for 2-4 guests, with balconies, 2 Queen bedrooms, and a ‘Jack & Jill’ bathroom (ie, doors from each bedroom ;-). It is also pet-friendly for a nice, quiet pet (with approval and pet deposit).

Clifftop has Wi-Fi, SmartTV, 24hr contactless check-in, and driveway parking. Cool-to-the feet Mexican tile leads you to a fully stocked kitchen and breakfast bar with rustic bar seats or a dining table seating 4 overlooking the ocean below.

One bedroom has an ocean view and lovely breezes. The other bedroom is perfect for those who like to sleep in full dark!

The shared bath is small but charming, with Mexican tile and a candlelit travertine marble shower.

You’ll drive 5 minutes to any one of 3 beaches, or venture farther to the 28 other beaches that surround St Thomas! While it’s just .75 miles above the main road, Clifftop is in a quiet, remote-feeling area; our neighbors enjoy their peace and quiet, so is not suited for parties or late-night rowdiness (also, as it is at the top of the cliff, you may want to be sober driving home ;-)

There is a shared outdoor laundry alcove (washer, dryer, industrial sink, detergent), outside the main house but available to both units. You will walk past windows, so Please be thoughtful and use after 10AM and before dark!

Getting Around: A car or car&driver arrangement (I can help with this :-) is required, as the house is high above the bustle of the main road and St Thomas's "safari bus route" (there is driveway parking). There are many car rentals on island, but do confirm in advance, as car rentals sometimes suffer from our Caribbean island tempo! If you don’t want to drive, I can help you arrange a car and driver, but it must be arranged in advance!

We loved our stay at Clifftop Villa. The living space is tastefully appointed and the views are astounding. Everything about the experience was good for the soul, including the prompt and helpful interactions we had with our host, Barb. We felt she was genuinely happy to welcome us and that she sincerely wanted us to enjoy our stay.We were surprised how comfortable we were without AC. There wasn't a moment day or night where we were sweating. We loved the gentle sea breezes on the balcony and there are plenty of fan options in the living space, none of which are obtrusive or overbearing. I tend to like my bedroom cool for sleeping and I was very comfortable in the interior room with a single bedsheet and the ceiling fan on. There are additional fans in each bedroom for those who need them. Iggies Beach Bar and The Longboard are a couple of great nearby options for dinner on the water. Both of them are about a seven minute drive away. We also got a few groceries at Food Center along with snacks to take to the beach. We messaged Barb for tips on taking the car ferry to St John. We didn't have to wait long for a response. She also has a few beach items you can borrow for the day like snorkel gear, inflatables, and a cooler and an ice pack. We have nothing but good things to say about our experience. We wish we were still there!

Winter vacation

This was a great space to stay. It was really nice to have views of the sunset and the beach. This place has all the amenities you could need. Cooler, snorkels, flippers, laundry machines, balcony, books, and plenty of space. You do need a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get there as it is on the side of a mountain, but the views are worth it.

Lovely home away from home

The cozy Clifftop Villa was the perfect spot for us to call home during our five week stay on St. Thomas. Barb was amazing. Very welcoming, helpful & responsive. Thank you Barb! We had an amazing time! Challenging road up and no AC were outweighed by awesome views, cool breezes, proximity to beaches & comfortable, charming Villa!! We hope to return sometime soon!

Breathtaking views surround on this cozy property high up in Frenchman's Bay. Plenty of space for a family of 4 with a well appointed kitchen offering all the amentities of home. Less than 15 minutes to Red Hook and Havensight puts this location close to everything you need for an excellent stay on St. Thomas.

It was great that there are multiple windows which made the place airy and cool. And even better was the view!!! Absolutely amazing!! I wish I had brought my canvas and paint to capture the views. Also, it was quite the adventure to locate the residence but a worthwhile one. However, Barb was quite a help with that. If you can, wake up just before dawn breaks to greet a spectacular view.

Clean, well maintained, tricky to find. Suggest lowering the balcony railing so it doesn’t obscure the lovely view. Had to push back on effort by owner to show the place to prospective buyers during our rental period. Was successful and encountered no other problems with owner.

A Slice of Paradise on St Thomas

The views from this property are absolutely breathtaking, the pictures are exactly as it looks in real life. We stayed on the lower level and it is as quiet as can be-- the house is very soundproof. Furnishings are tastefully done and beds and couches are a dream. It really is a little oasis high on the hill and instantly makes you fall in love with all that is USVI. Barb is super helpful, friendly, and funny and I'm glad I was able to meet her upon arrival. This is a great spot for a longer-term stay too as it's very spacious and comfortable for a remote work situation. Internet works great and everything, including the kitchen, is modern and fresh. I feel very fortunate to have found this little gem, it's everything and more.

Great Virgin Islands Vacation

Great spot for a rental with amazing views of the ocean. As other reviews mention, it's ideal to have a rental car to access this unit. However, we had a full-size pick-up truck rental, and it was a bit of a chore to navigate the narrow driveways that lead to the unit. The bathroom was tiny, the shower especially. The balcony was great, but it would be nice if there was a 2nd outdoor chair. Miscellaneous supplies including snorkels and beach gear were a really nice touch. Barbara was very communicative, thorough with directions, and accessible. Overall, an affordable, comfortable stay that's centrally located; if you don't mind a little adventure getting to your place everynight.

Oh! I need to replace a balcony chair?!? (Did you see a pile of smashed teak down below the balcony or anything? ;-) You should have told me — I’m ordering today rush delivery!! And yes, a pickup truck is definitely a challenge if you’re not used to our wild island roads! Compact SUVs greatly simplify life in the VI! I’m glad you enjoyed the views and the adventure gear!
