My family and I had a great time staying at this property. The grounds and pool are so pretty and private. We had 3 generations and all were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. The views were amazing. Would certainly stay here again!
We had a great few nights for a girls trip to St. Thomas. Property was amazing, clean, spacious, had every amenity you could think of. Great space for a large group. Would highly recommend.
We had a great time; the house was perfect for us. location was great if it only had sidewalks. Kayaked every morning. Pool was nice to hang at. We will come back
We rented a bunch of villas between 140 of us and this one worked great for our needs. We visit the islands as much as we can and will be back as soon as we can. What a place.
Our stay could not have been better! The home (including the pool) were clean and well maintained. Everything we needed (linens, pool towels, toiletries, etc.) was already in the home and groceries were just a short drive away. Highlights include the private beach, pool, beautiful balcony views, and the elevated outdoor shower (with dual shower heads).
This was our first time visiting St Thomas. We came over New Years and stayed a week. This house by far exceeded expectations! The pictures really do not do it justice. It is absolutely gorgeous. Management is super easy to deal with and answer any and all questions promptly. They brought in pack in plays and a bed for the little boys (2 and 4) so they would be comfortable just like the adults. The views from this island are just breathtaking. I would highly recommended staying here!!

Larry, Our stay at Casa B...
Larry, Our stay at Casa B was amazing! The house is well equipped and Caroline was so helpful. We cannot imagine staying in a better location on St. Thomas! The home provides a perfect combination of privacy and convenience. The reef in front of Casa B is incredible! We saw Lobsters, Squid, Sea Turtles and more beautiful tropical fish than we could count! Where else can you snorkle along an almost mile long reef with no one else around,get out of the water and walk over to the Ritz. The private beach in front of the house was a great place to have a glass of wine and watch the sun set. Red Hook is close so it is easy to go to St. John. We snorkeled there at Waterlemon Cay and while it was great the snorkeling in front of the house was equal or better! There are several good restaurants nearby - Lattitude 18 and Blue Moon were two that we enjoyed. We spent several nights just staying at Casa B, grilling out and enjoying the beautiful fountains, gardens and privacy of your home. Thank you so much. This was the best family vacation we have ever had and would definitely recommend Casa B!

Larry,
I would just like to tell you what a wonderful time we had at Casa Bougainvillea this summer. We usually vacation in Hawaii every year but with airlines going under and us losing our flights we decided to step out of our comfort zone and head east to St Thomas. We weren't disappointed with choosing St Thomas as our replacement destination. Casa-B was everything we had hoped for and more. The main house was great for the family and the downstairs suites were a great escape from the group when we needed it. We BBQ'd and went for an evening dip in the pool to finish the day. Caroline checked on us regulary to ensure our stay was perfect and to give us tips on things to do around the island. We snorkeled every day and visited at least a dozen snorkel spots on the island. We also took a ferry over to St John and did some snorkeling there. I've yet to find a better snorkel spot than right behind your house. The reef is a beautiful sanctuary for many reef fish and untouched coral. We even saw a stingray in a shallow tidepool about 50 yards down the beach. We had a great time. Thanks for making your place available to us.
I have used VRBO for many vacations and Casa B has definitely been the best of all of them. The house was perfect for our multi-generational (ages 8 mths to 73 yrs) family trip to St. Thomas. We loved the pool and snorkeling right from the back yard. Chris at Sea View management was so helpful in planning our trip and during our stay.
The reviews that state that the house was well supplied was an understatement. I am used to going to a property and having some beginning supplies, like TP, that run out after a couple of days but this unit was stocked so that we had enough for our entire stay. We also appreciated using name brand items instead of generic stuff.
Before I stay at a VRBO I love reading the reviews for tidbits of helpful advice. Here's a couple of things we learned that were helpful.
Bring water shoes and snorkeling gear. The snorkeling was amazing but you won't want to traverse the rocks and sea urchins without water shoes. The property has several kayaks and a paddle board to use.
We decided not to rent a car since there were so many of us. We used Ambassadorial Limo Services for airport transfers and excursions. I would highly recommend them. Call Kelly taxi if you need a taxi service while there. We had difficulties with other taxi services.
Just a short walk up the street was a beautiful sandy beach at the Ritz where the kids enjoyed playing in the sand.
We used Moe's in Red Hook for grocery delivery service. They only charge a set delivery fee.
We were 7 adults and 2 young children staying at Casa Bougainvillea. What an amazing place! The afternoon we arrived, we were looking around the place with Chris the property manager, when there was a sudden rain shower and a moment later a huge rainbow appeared like a magical welcome to the casa! We fell in love with the place and had the best family vacation ever. The house was clean, spacious and bright and tastefully decorated. The view of the bay was amazing and one of the best aspects of the house. The kitchen was great, well stocked with pans, dishes and utensils, some seasonings but no sugar! The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels for bathing and swimming. Everyone enjoyed the swimming pool and the beautiful yard and gathering areas. My personal favorites were morning coffee on the balcony enjoying the bay view and walking down to the little beach and being enchanted by the waves and coral. We also enjoyed going on the water in the kayak on the beach. The location of the property is excellent, felt private but easy enough to get place.Blackouts were daily occurrences on St. Thomas but the house generator did an excellent job of kicking in and providing electricity. The property manager was quite responsive to any questions we had (but I was a little disappointed that there was no communication about checking out even after I informed them of the time when we were moving out).Overall, I highly recommend this home and would love to come here again!
We had 8 adults and the space worked out perfectly. Lots of space to be together and apart. The pool is great and we loved hanging out at the beach. House is tricky to find at first but great location close to everything in Red Hook, Sapphire Beach, and Magen’s Bay.
Our blended family of 3 kids (16, 19 and 22) along with a girlfriend to Casa B was just absolutely wonderful! Chris was very responsive in checking in with our arrival progress and Christian with meeting at the property and giving us a tour. The house was well provisioned (paper products, towels, linens, condiments, soaps, etc) and very clean and welcoming. We spent a lot of time on the balcony overlooking the water, snorkeling (wear water shoes to stay safe from sea urchins), cooking on the grill and enjoying the island breeze. Groceries from Moe’s made it easy to cook dinners after long days exploring beaches and town. We jumped on the car barge twice to St John’s and loved it. Great location and we will be back Casa B!
There were 10 family members staying there. Everyone had their own bedrooms, great space to fit everyone comfortably.the pool was relaxing. Very clean home. Easy access to different beaches. The driver Khalid drove us everywhere. We would stay again!
We were on a family retreat and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property was exactly as advertised. The views from the upper deck were amazing. We were visited by chickens everyday as they are extremely plentiful on the island. We loved everything about the property and our time in St. Thomas.
We were a party of 8. There was plenty of room for everyone. The house was amazing just as advertised. A 5 min drive to Red Hook. We all had a great time and can’t wait to go back
This was the perfect spot to call homebase when exploring St. Thomas and St. John. The home is exactly what we expected and the service of the owners and management company was excellent. One pleasant surprise was how much fun we had with the kayaks out on Turquoise Bay.
Casa B was absolutely gorgeous and perfect for our larger group which really appreciated the ability to have separate spaces along with large communal spaces. Everything was very clean, the pool was on the smaller side but more than enough for relaxation purposes and the landscaping is particularly inviting. There was also plenty of beach towels and snorkeling gear available to use. Highly recommend casa b!
There were 10 of us and the house and location was perfect! The house was exactly like appears on line! You can snorkel right off the private beach. Chris the host was very helpful! We would definitely come back!

We loved Casa B! We had a group of 9 adults. There was plenty of room to spread out with nice size bedrooms and a large, open living space. Having our own pool was great. We also loved sitting by the bay and enjoying the nice breeze. It was nice to be close to Red Hook, also. I highly recommend this location!

About the host
Hosted by SeaView Management
I love sharing Casa Bougainvillea with guests from all over the world.
I’m originally from the U.S. and have always loved travel, especially places that bring people together in a beautiful, relaxed setting. St. Thomas has become one of my favorite places because of its incredible water, laid-back island rhythm, and the way it naturally turns trips into lasting memories.
What I enjoy most about hosting is knowing that families and groups are able to truly unwind here—whether it’s multi-generational trips, reunions, or friends reconnecting. I love hearing about mornings on the balcony with coffee and ocean views, kids snorkeling for the first time, or everyone gathering together after a day exploring the island.
My goal is to make your stay as easy and enjoyable as possible, so you can focus on what really matters: time together, the view, and the experience of being on the water in one of the most beautiful parts of the Caribbean. I look forward to welcoming you to Casa Bougainvillea.
Why they chose this property
Casa Bougainvillea is located on peaceful Cabrita Point on the east end of St. Thomas, a quiet waterfront neighborhood known for its privacy, beautiful turquoise water, and easy access to some of the island’s best beaches and activities.
The scene here is calm and tropical—lush landscaping, gentle ocean breezes, and wide-open views of Great Bay and nearby islands. Most days start with quiet mornings on the balcony, watching the light change over the water, and end with unforgettable sunsets reflecting across the bay.
What I love most about this neighborhood is the balance it offers. It feels private and tucked away, but you’re still just minutes from Red Hook, where you’ll find great restaurants, local bars, grocery stores, and the ferry to St. John. It’s the perfect setup for guests who want both relaxation and convenience.
You’ll also love how close you are to beaches, snorkeling spots, and boat charters—everything you need for a true island experience is right nearby, while your home base stays peaceful and uncrowded.
It’s the kind of place where families settle in quickly, slow down, and truly enjoy being together.
What makes this property unique
What makes Casa Bougainvillea truly stand out is its rare combination of space, privacy, and direct connection to the water—something you don’t often find in one property on St. Thomas.
Most homes offer either a great view, a good location, or enough space for a large group—but Casa Bougainvillea offers all three, along with a layout that is especially well-suited for families and groups traveling together. The main house gives everyone a central place to gather, while the two private, fully equipped suites allow for separation and privacy when needed. This makes it ideal for multi-generational families, multiple couples, or groups who want to stay together without feeling crowded.
The setting itself is another standout feature. The villa sits right on the water at Cabrita Point, with direct access to snorkeling, kayaking, and a quiet coral shoreline. Guests consistently mention how special it feels to be able to step outside and immediately be in the ocean environment, surrounded by calm water and tropical scenery.
Equally important is the sense of seclusion combined with convenience. The property feels private and peaceful, yet it’s just minutes from Red Hook, restaurants, ferry access to St. John, and some of the best beaches on the island. That balance is a big part of why guests return and recommend it so highly.
Finally, guests often comment on how easy it is to settle in here—the home is spacious, well-equipped, and designed for comfort, so groups can focus on enjoying their time together rather than worrying about logistics.
Overall, what sets Casa Bougainvillea apart is not just the location or the views—it’s how effortlessly it works for real groups creating real memories together.
