Great trip!

This property is BEAUTIFUL! The view of Sapphire Bay/beach is phenomenal and Gail's place is very comfortable.There are the understable signs of wear and tear from a location that is exposed to the elements, but the venue is gorgeous. Beach is about a 3 minute drive down some switchbacks.Pool is perfect for a small group and hot tub is very nice.

Beautiful/ relaxing

This was a beautiful property. Great views, pool, hot tube, outdoor eating area. Owner's helped us with anything we needed, gave us info on things to door, overall great friendly people!!! If there was one thing that was a negative, the walk to the beach we only did once because of the extreme hill and the crazy walk . It was very difficult and alittle scary with traffic.

Beautiful birthday celebration

Celebrated my mom’s 70th birthday. The house was set up perfectly for my mom to have her own space while my husband and I also had our own space. Our favorite part was the view and spending our mornings watching the storms move in and out. Gail was very accommodating. Would return again.

Location, Location, Location, the property is located in Red Hook and very close to the beaches, the ferry, shopping and restaurants. The property has two levels, great for couples.

Ocean Kaleidoscope

It was a little difficult to find the property, but hosts were very accommodating and helpful when we arrived. They were always available to answer questions and presented us with many options of places to go, and things to do. Very kind and easy to work with. It was a very nice and relaxing vacation.

We had a great stay and really enjoyed the homey, comfortable feel of Ocean kaleidoscope. The view of St John and the BVI from the deck was spectacular. It was easy to relax and enjoy our time there. Gail made everything easy from getting there to getting settled. She also provided us with a great deal of local knowledge to help us enjoy our stay even more. The facilities were spotless and showed pride of ownership.

Home away from home!!

From beginning to end, this was the easiest vacation booking we’ve ever done. Miss Gail is so communicative and answers every message in a timely manner. She and her husband hosted us and we had the most incredible time. Her home is exactly as described in the listing. We had privacy and the location was perfect. Pool is an incredible afternoon. Reward from a long day at the beach. This was our third trip to St. Thomas and on our fourth return we will definitely be staying with Miss Gail!!!

Wonderful honeymoon location

This property has everything you need to have a wonderful stay on Saint Thomas! From the great views to the nice pool and spa to a full kitchen space and comfortable beds...what more could we ask for?! Our hospitality was splendid and our hosts were more then willing to help us out with anything needed. The home is located high up on the hill and getting a cab proved difficult at times but with the right driver everything can be accomplished! Huge thank-you to the Ferraria's for the wonderful space!

Great views that I didn't want to leave!

Great place to stay! Gail was wonderful, provided excellent knowledge of the island, and was very accommodating. The view from the patio is awesome! I could have spent each day just hanging out there and been at peace. The location is nice if you do not enjoy the crowded resort feel, and don't mind traveling a bit to locations you wish to swim and dine. Their home was perfect for my type of vacation. Next time Gail and Curlson will need to party with us. I look forward to when we meet again! 🙂

When in St. Thomas...

If you ever plan on taking a trip to St Thomas, it is a MUST that you book this beautiful home tucked in the hills! My family and I had an absolute wonderful time staying here! Gail and her husband Curlson were thee absolute best!! From booking to checking in to checking out, Gail made the process so easy and hassle free. And when she says to pack light, you don't need much... she means it! The house is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need for your stay. We're already planning on returning next year. Thanks again Gail & Curlson!

Beautiful views and excellent hosts!

Where to begin...First, I want to say that the views to wake up to at this villa were spectacular. It was beautiful at any time of day, really. We enjoyed the accommodations, from the pool to the hot tub, to the master bedroom and separate bedroom down the stairs. The villa is impeccably maintained, with all new appliances, and well stocked. Probably the best part of this villa are the hosts, Gail and Curlton. You will never feel like a stranger in St. Thomas because of their gracious hospitality, and wealth of resources provided to you in advance, so you can plan out your trip. We felt like we were home and would gladly return again!

Ultimate Honeymoon Getaway

We could not have asked for or found a better spot to spend our honeymoon vacation. We are experienced St. Thomas visitors and we’re looking for something Carefree and full service. Gail made the entire day as well as the check in/out process completely seamless and her husband Carlson made sure everything was running smoothly the entire time. You will want for nothing at this location and be provided with things that you weren’t aware you needed to start with! I would highly recommend this place for any duration of time and for either family or couples. It’s also important to note that the location cannot get better as far as experiencing the islands best amenities. My husband and I will, without a doubt, be back to stay at Ocean Kaleidoscope once again!

Incredible view and host!

This was our first trip to St. Thomas and we loved our stay at Gail's wonderful place! The view from the patio is amazing and where I spent all my time. To get that view, you need to be comfortable with a hilly/steep drive. It doesn't require a Jeep. Our rented Nissan Versa did fine. After you do the drive a couple of times, you get used to it! I've stayed in a lot of tropical rental places and this one was the cleanest ever (no bugs)! Gail is a great host who respects your privacy but is readily available for recommendations and good chats!

Incredible Vacation and Stay

The description of "beauty, comfort, value" could not be more accurate. Gail and Curlson were incredible hosts and could not be more polite, accommodating, or hospitable. All of the pictures and descriptions of the property are very accurate. The view from the home is incredible! The hot tub and pool are perfect for a group of 4-6. The only thing I would preface is that there are a lot of roosters and chickens on the property- be prepared for morning wake up calls and evening commotion as they roost in the trees. The property is also well located to most points of interest and is very close to the ferry terminal making it easy to get over to St. Johns for the day. Overall an incredible stay and we cannot wait to go back!

Our first “real” Family vacation

Ocean Kaleidoscope was absolutely stunning; and our hosts, Gail and Curlson, went above and beyond to help us make magical memories for our family. They even helped us with transportation as we did not have a rental car (we really underestimated how steep the hills would be!) The only letdown was the hot tub was out of order and was one of the main reasons we selected this place in the first place. We understand it was beyond their control, but would have loved having night and morning soaks. Other than that, zero complaints: Prime location, with gorgeous views and total privacy; will recommend to family/friends/anyone whoever mentions wanting to go to St. Thomas! Hopefully we will be back again; our 9 year old was ready to find a new family on the island and stay 😅

About the host

Hosted by Gail

Host profile image
Born in Trinidad (West Indies), St. Thomas (US Virgin Islands) has been my home for 5+ decades. I LOVE my Caribbean culture, history and community! "Ocean Kaleidoscope" has grown to represent this unique island life. Giving travelers from all over the World the opportunity to share its incredibly beautiful vistas, learn about the colorful history, experience the verdant culture, and appreciate the authentic and diverse community. I’m also an animal advocate, rescuer, foster, adopter… and supporter of the Humane Society of St. Thomas & "Pet With Wings" Program. https://www.petswithwingsstt.com/volunteer?

Why they chose this property

This corner lot, at 300 feet above sea level, is within short driving distance to the nearby town of Red Hook. The steady breezes gently carry away the distant sounds of civilization, creating the feeling of seclusion, while only being 2-15 minutes away from pristine beaches (the nearest within 1/4 mile and 3 minutes driving), savory island cuisine, exhilarating marine adventure, shopping bonanzas, water sports, and island hopping.

What makes this property unique

With dynamic ocean views of the salty playground below, the view is alive with boats of every description, beaches, resorts, and islands of adventure. Day or night, each changing image is more spellbinding than the next. The combination of the elements, vistas, location, amenities, decor, and service create an envious vacation stay!

The EXPERIENCE:
Tropical breezes, sounds of crashing beach surf, cacophony of native wildlife, dancing butterflies, vibrant color skies and moonlit ocean waves are just some of the sensory surprises. Enjoy the sunrise or sunset as you meditate, workout, read, dine or dance on any of the spacious patios or decks. Bask in the crystal clear unheated pool and/or soothing spa, surrounded by a tropical landscape under the sun or a star-filled night sky.
