About this property

This gorgeous studio on the Oceanfront is perfect for couples!

Paradise Too!, one of the few studios located on Bolongo Bay, is our Island Home when it is "just us". Purchased in the spring of 2010, this gem has been completely refurbished, redecorated, and updated to our specifications. Because it is our personal retreat, we have added touches that we enjoy in our home on the mainland: a tiled walk-in shower, fluffy 100% cotton towels, CuisinArt stainless cookware, luxurious 100% cotton 300 ct. bedding, a Dressing Area, gorgeous artwork by St. Thomas resident Jonna White. Decorative items and restful, tropical fabrics blend to create a casually elegant and wonderfully restful Tropical Retreat for honeymooners, that "special anniversary", or two people needing to escape from it all.

Walk out the oversized sliding glass door (yes, also new!) and onto your personal patio. Sit at the teak table with your morning coffee, surrounded by the striking fan palms and the sound of the gentle waves. This is Paradise Too! With a view of the Caribbean most people can only dream about, you will lack for nothing in your lovely poolside vacation home. You will have access to three pools - all very different.

Along the waterfront are two restaurants. Mim's Seafood Bistro is famous for her lobster and seafood with a touch of Italian cuisine. Iggies Oasis serves scrumptious breakfasts, lunch, and dinner. Iggies always has something entertaining going on in the evening!

An array of activities are available to our Guests. Tennis courts and basketball courts are onsite. Walk down 6 steps from the oceanfront pool and you will find yourself on a sandy path. Follow the shoreline to the large sandy beach of Bolongo Bay. A PADI dive shop provides free scuba lessons, equipment rentals, and diving and snorkeling excursions. At the dock is the pride of the Resort, Heavenly Days - a 53' catamaran.

The resort's Activities Desk is happy to book a sunset sail or snorkel trip aboard this cat. A well-stocked Beach Hut is available for rentals of a large variety of non-motorized water sports (kayaks, windsurfers, hobie cats, etc.). Your beach days are no problem as you will find everything you might need in your Paradise Too! Beach chairs, oversized towels, masks and snorkels, coolers and noodles are just waiting to hit the sand! Sea turtles and rays are frequently seen when snorkeling on the reef - don't forget the water camera!

Your location on Bolongo Bay puts you in the most central location on the island! An 8 mile drive west and you are in Charlotte Amalie. The capitol of the USVI, this is now one of the largest duty-free shopping areas in the world! Walking down the narrow alleys and the centuries-old architecture will conjure up visions of the pirates that roamed these byways. Just past the shopping area lies Frenchtown...and some of the best cafes and restaurants on the island.

Leave Bolongo and drive 8 miles north to arrive in the quaint town of Red Hook - the yachting capitol of St. Thomas. Ferries to St. John and the BVI depart from here. Most charter boats (fishing, sailing, etc.) are docked here. Red Hook also is home to a large variety of restaurants and shops. Just past Red Hook is a Margaritaville restaurant for all of you Cheeseburger in Paradise fans!

With so much to see and do, you will need to remember to relax! Welcome to Paradise Too!

Wonderful place

We had a great time! We enjoyed the saltwater pool and the view. It was an easy walk over to the resort next door. The resort offered great excursions and great food! This place was a great value compared to the resort and we had privacy even tho there’s a restaurant right in front of the property. We didn’t get the email with the check in code but it only took one call to the owner. She did text to make sure we got in. Wish there was cable in the property besides the local channels but we would absolutely stay again. They also had beach items like snorkel kits and coral safe sunscreen and aloe for sunburns. That was really nice!

Bolonho Bay

We had a fabulous time at the villa in Bolongo Bay. It was perfect for 2 people. I sat on the lanai every morning and listened to and watched the waves. The pool and ocean were only steps away. We were centrally located to many of St Thomas’ gorgeous beaches. Plus there was snorkel gear and coolers and beach chairs right in the condo to use and we used them every day. It was wonderful. We would definitely go back!

Enjoyed our stay here

We are a couple in our 50s and wanted to stay on the beach and also wanted a pool. This place had both. Mim's Seaside Bistro was literally right in front of us but it was no bother at all. Owner sent us a lot of information about the island which was helpful. Great view and loved the proximity to the pool. Could have been cleaner though. Was not horrible but I expect a place to be clean when I book. Crumbs were on the floors and counters and bathroom floor was not cleaned. Literally things on the floor next to the garbage can. Despite this, enjoyed our stay very much!!

Good Experience

Smaller than anticipated, but certainly is comfortable for two. Ann was available for questions and presented a wonderful 19 page document of places to eat and things to do. The restaurant by the pool was a little noisy until 10PM...but that was fine with me. An upper floor would have been better.

Pleasant for a Short Stay

It was as pictured but the fact that Mim’s Seaside Bistro is exactly in front and about 30 feet away was a bit of a surprise. 50-60 guests each night but not overly intrusive. Beach is very rocky. Condo amenities were fine. Good water pressure and comfortable king bed. Location is a bit remote from the airport if you have an early flight out.

Great location

Perfect for a couple. My wife and I stayed a week. Very close to the pool and the oceanfront. Mim's bistro is right there as well. Bolongo Bay Beach Resort is next door. We ate at Oasis restaurant a few times and liked it. Mim's is good too. We used the blender often to make our own daiquiris. We used the beach items. Chairs, masks & coolers. Please rinse the sand off before putting them back in the closet. There is a foot wash by the pool and you can do that there. Sargassum seaweed was fairly thick at Bolongo Bay during our stay. We had rented a car and visited 5 other beaches as well. Magen's Bay and Honeymoon Beach didn't have seaweed. Sapphire, Lindquist & Coki had a little seaweed. Of course the seaweed is mother nature and varies from beach to beach and time of year. Bolongo Bay was still very beautiful to look at from the pool which is right by the oceanfront. We did venture into the water at Bolongo Bay because I had to be able to say I used the beach. Basically you walk over to the beach resort for the beach which is very close. Right at the complex it is more rocky. We made our way in the water to a clear spot and floated around for an hour or so. This is a beautiful area if the seaweed was gone. If you like to snorkel just move past the seaweed and enjoy anyway. I highly recommend renting a car so you can enjoy any of the beaches. Everything is not far away and you can visit any location with a short drive. We enjoyed very much and would consider renting again if we go back to St. Thomas. Very beautiful beaches so we are hoping to come again. The complex is well maintained with excellent pools although we just used the pool right there. The road into the complex is very good. Around the island there are rough roads in places. Be vigilant when driving. Red Hook is not far and we ate at a few restaurants there. More pay parking is available across the road from the Ferry parking lot which is often full. Just go straight across and look right and you'll see the lot which is behind an office building. Again great stay and highly recommended.

A perfect spot for a couple getaway

My husband and I spent a week here and it was just perfect for us. We had everything we needed and the view was great. The size is as described and we found it very comfortable for the two of us. It is a calm, quiet spot unlike other areas we visited. Mim's restaurant is right out front so it does get a bit lively in the evenings sometime but we found it jolly. Mim's staff and food were great - we had dinner there four nights! The other three nights we walked to Iggy's on the other side of the beach. We couldn't see any reason to drive in the evenings with two nice, oceanside restaurants right there. We truly hope to return to this great location.

Vacation get away

The location was good, secluded. The furniture was dated, could definitely use some updating. The TV did not work all week. The owner tried to get it working while we were there, it worked about 2 hours and did not work again, kept saying temporary off line. This needs to be fixed. The property served its purpose.

STT get away

Unit was small, outdated furnishings and kitchen appliances. Lacked storage, sliding patio door was difficult to open, flooring was peeling up and edges were sharp. We had a few bugs but understand that may be normal in the climate/region. WIFI and cable were terrible. Parking was good and presence of night security was also good. Wasn't completely terrible but probably would not rent unit again. Owner was good to communicate process for getting into unit and other island tips.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
She is a beach gal from San Diego that longed for the sun, sand, and sea. He is a New England native that discovered a love of fishing. He promised that she would not grow old shoveling snow, and so the search began to find that "one particular harbor". After visiting many of the Caribbean islands, and much discussion, a decision was reached...the USVI would be perfect! He was the handyman, she was the decorator, and our Island Home is now a reality!

Why they chose this property

Our initial thought was to buy on St. John. We rented a car and drove the narrow, winding road from Cruz Bay to Coral Bay. One daughter complained of car-sickness, Sue was amazed at how long it took ("It looks so short on the map!") and we changed plans then and there...St. Thomas would be our Island Home! A Search Party consisting of Sue and her pals Peggy (the real estate agent) and Wendy (the voice of reason), visited every waterfront condo on the island and decided that Bolongo Bay made the most sense as it had the most to offer. A year later, Sue and Peggy returned in search of a studio and Paradise Too! caught our eye as it was near the sand and the pool...what more could we want?

What makes this property unique

This is our Island Home when it is "just us". We love waking up and looking out over the sea, the leisurely morning coffee on the private patio as we watch the sailboats go by and the hummingbirds zoom from feeder to feeder, and being the first footprints in the sand during our morning walk along the shore. It is so relaxing! Of course we also love watching the fire eater, glass walker, and moko jumby during Iggie's Caribbean Show every week, and all you can eat shrimp night at Mim's Seaside Bistro at the water's edge! With three very different pools, the three restaurants, and the many activities available on Bolongo Bay, we really don't have to leave to have a great time!
