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!

Our stay was good and the location was convenient. The property matched the listing description, the check-in process was smooth. The host was responsive and willing to answer any questions. Overall, an average place to stay.
Wonderful spot, insane views, all the amenities we could have asked for! Host had tons of great recommendations and it helped so much! Would definitely come back to Bolongo Bay!
Amazing stay in the perfect location. Right on the water with beautiful sunrise views, and being on the first floor made it easy to go straight out to the pool and bay anytime. Walking distance to Mimi’s and Iggie’s and centrally located on the island, so getting around was easy. The place was small and affordable but exactly what we needed. Clean, comfortable, and cozy. Sue was super accommodating, informative, and very responsive. Would absolutely stay here again!
This was the perfect launching pad for our visit to St Thomas. So close to the water that you could hear it from the porch. Between the unit and the water are restaurant tables for Mims, and it was fun to watch and hear the evening activity when the restaurant was open. Communication with the host was easy, and she was responsive to questions when we arrived. Everything we needed for beach fun (chairs, towels, toys) was in the unit. The view of Bolongo bay was amazing, and Bolongo Beach was an easy 2 min walk. There are 3 very good restaurants that are also within walking distance. It felt like a very good value. I'd return in a heartbeat.
Small issue when we got their but Susan made it right. Streaming is much better than the cable. The red light was on more than the blue light, on the cable box. Susan had to sign us into the app for the roku, my sister was able to sign into 4 of the apps. Then we had TV at night while we were in.
We have stayed at this condo several times. It's perfect for a couple...love the location. Sue is a great host.. quickly responds to any questions we had.. we have already booked our stay next year S to any questions
We loved this rental. The whole process was super easy. It had everything we needed. The view and property was so beautiful. I would love to stay there again !!!
Space was nicer than the pictures showed. We had the pool area almost entirely to ourselves for most to the stay, and enjoyed walking along the beach. Conveniently located between Charlotte Amalie and RedHook.
This is the perfectly located spot on St Thomas! Waking up to a sunrise over the water, right out the front door every morning was nothing short of magical! Can wait to return.
Always a terrific time staying here. Property owner is awesome and accommodating. Everything is close by and a true laid back island experience. A must visit place.

Thank you so much for your kind words! As always, it is a pleasure having you as Guests. Please return any time!!
The property was in a great location and the owner gave exceptional details. The unit was comfortable and clean. It was beachfront and the pool was very nice. The only suggestion I could make would be to update the unit and put a handle on the outside of the sliding door to make the opening/closing easier. It was a lovely unit in a very convenient area.
Overall good stay. Great location. Close to amenities and pools. We’ll stocked kitchen. Had problem upon arrival but owner quickly responded and resolved issue.
Quite and peaceful. Great location! Best blender ever. It made perfect rum drinks every night! Woul love to stay again. Iguanas mow the lawn by the pool. So no loud landscaper noises. Had the best relaxing vacation ever.
Property was as described, super easy communication with host, plenty instructions where to go and where to eat, beautiful view from balcony. Had rough time to find taxi - next door resort was very helpful in that ( in case you don't want to rent a car - they're very friendly)

Olga,
Delighted you enjoyed your stay. I hope you will return and stay longer next time as there is so much to see and do!
This is a great little studio right on the water. Everything we needed was in the unit. The pool was just steps away and never crowded. isrestaurant right outside the back door but really expensichose to
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!

About the host
Your host
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!
