Our stay at the Lion's Gate Getaway was perfect. Our hosts, Max and Chris, were friendly, helpful, and incredibly accommodating. The view from the property is incredible. We highly recommend this space as an alternative to a typical resort or hotel. We were a ten-minute walk from lively bars, restaurants, shopping, and the ferry to St. John. 10/10, so incredibly happy with our stay and experience. The walk is a pretty decent incline, so if you do not plan to rent a vehicle, keep that in mind for accessibility. We were able to walk down and up ok and occasionally requested a ride from our host, who was happy to do so. Wish we were still there!

Great place!

Awesome location, authentic vibes, very friendly and accommodating host. Walk down the hill and go to many of the bars/restaurant that line the water. I walked down the hill to get breakfast and coffee many times during my stay. Just be prepared for the uphill walk on the way back! Red hook is an excellent location to stay as many great attractions are near by.

Great place to stay

We loved our time at Lions Gate! Its quiet and peaceful and had just what we needed. We didnt expect beach chairs, beach towels (we brought our own), and a cooler, but and they all came in handy! Max and Chris were great hosts and we look forward to staying again in the future.

I want to thank you Shane for enjoying Lion's Gate the way I do. Gazing at the view with the breeze. Some days it is hard to get off the porch and enjoy other parts of the island. We can't wait for you to come back. And thank you for leaving the apartment in such good shape. It was move in ready when you left. Thanks again Max

Best stay with best hosts

Staying with Max was amazing! The apartment has the most beautiful views, it's cozy, and Max and Chris were so helpful and hopsitable. It was the perfect size for two people and we loved hanging out on the patio to watch the sun set and boats come in. It's so close to everything in Red Hook as well which makes going out at night very nice. I highly recommend staying here!

Cozy stay, great hosts

This place seemed more "authentic" than the other resort-style properties we looked at, and we're so glad we went with it! The view was wonderful and Maxine and Chris were great hosts with local insights. It was great to be walking distance to Red Hook, but keep in mind the road leading there is very steep, so would only consider it truly "walkable" if you're fairly athletic.
