About this property

5 minute walk to the beach. 2 BR, 2 Bath Cottage - Bohemian living at its best!

Imagine waking up in this cottage and walking onto your deck looking over Honeymoon Beach and onto the Caribbean Sea and Saint Thomas. Stroll 5 minutes down to the beach and to one of the best beach bars in the Virgin Islands. Spend the day snorkeling with sea turtles, lounging under palms trees or jump into a game of beach tennis, volley ball or pickle ball. Explore our little 500 acre island on a golf cart and you will feel like you have just stepped back into time. Swing by the crossings for a beer or crushed ice and then head over to Heidi's for the best fish tacos in the USVI. This is Bohemian living at its best! Expansive Living Room with incredible views, large open kitchen and great deck. Each Bedroom has a simple full bath w/ shower. 1st bedroom has queen memory foam mattress, in suite simple bath and new mini split HVAC. 2nd bedroom has a king foam mattress, adjacent simple full bath and AC. Great room is cooled by ceiling fans and ocean breezes.

Think rustic cabin
Overall, we had a wonderful stay. The island is interesting with various wildlife and having limited cars is a really nice change. The locals are all very friendly. A great place to get away and just relax. As for the property, our first impression was not good. There is limited furniture. There were no towels, many pillows didn't have slips. The one bedroom had a broken down plastic bin for an end table. The electrical is unfinished in both bathrooms. There was a new microwave and toaster oven but the hot plate didn't work at all and the stove barely worked. We did eventually get two burners to light. The exterior is not well kept with various building materials and trash laying around. The isn't really a local property owner so if it tricky to get help if you need it. There isn't a generator on the property. We didn't have an issue with that but would have been a major problem. However, once we adjusted our expectations to being more like upscale camping, we got along just fine. There was plenty of room. There is AC in both bedrooms but not the main room which didn't really need it. We were on the beach during the heat of the day and there are nice island breezes. The deck has a beautiful view overlooking honeymoon beach. You should definitely rent a golf cart and beach chairs from Rachaels. You can walk to the beach but it is down a big incline. Also part of the fun in exploring the island.

Prime Water Island Location
My 5 star review is based on my expectations after talking to George, the owner, but this is not a 5 star property. Keep in mind the property is still undergoing improvements. We rented the main house and guest house beside it. The main house has a very large kitchen and living area so our family staying in the guest house joined the main house for meals. The property is at a perfect location for walking to beautiful Honeymoon Beach. From the house you get a view of the beach and blue water and the sound of the birds and tree frogs is so relaxing. Tortoises and hermit crabs in the yard add to the amazing ambience of Water Island. Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Remember it is an island property and water comes from a cistern so you should be respectful and conserve water. George was an amazing host who responded immediately to all of our questions and needs. If you're looking for luxury this isn't for you, but if you want a laid back island vibe you can't go wrong here.

Amazing location and Owner
Water Island is a unique Island, so make sure you are familiar with it first. This location offers some of the best views from the island. George is a great property manager and I would highly recommend!

About the host

Host profile image
My wife and I live in the states and been hosting our vacation houses for over a decade.

Why they chose this property

Stepping off the ferry on Water Island takes you to a different place in time. Golf carts are the mode of transportation and you rarely see a car. Living on an island of 500 acres and a population of about 180 is transformative.

What makes this property unique

Its hard to find a home with both an amazing view and easy proximity from the beach. The two bedroom two bath set up is perfect for couples, friends or a small family.
