About this property

H2O Eco Villa

H2O Eco Villa is located in the gated community of Sprat Bay on beautiful Water Island in the USVI (the 4th official US Virgin Island since December 12, 1996!). Just a 10 minute ferry ride from Crown Bay Marina in St. Thomas (5 minute car ride from the St. Thomas airport), you can step into your Caribbean dream. Conceptualized and built by Haitian architect and artist, Sacha Thebaud, H2O Eco Villa prides itself on remaining 90% off the grid thanks to the 40 thousand gallon cistern beneath the house, Tesla power walls to store solar energy, independent septic, and an induction stovetop.



As you enter the villa, you are greeted by an open concept where the ceiling soars to over 18 feet above the main level in a room that is over 3000 square feet with more than 600 square feet dedicated to an indoor tropical garden. The screened section of roof above the tropical garden allows rain to water the garden, another unique feature of the villa (Don't worry! It doesn't rain in the whole house!!!) Once you have taken all that in, you can take in the stunning views of Charlotte Amalie (the capitol of St. Thomas), Hassel Island and the Caribbean Ocean.



Once the shock subsides you will find 2 King suites each with its own full bath and A/C. There is also a washer and dryer as well as a queen-sized Murphy bed next to a half bath. Combine all this with a well equipped kitchen, 3 decks (one for ultimate privacy, one for cooking on the BBQ and eating, and the last one up top for the most stunning views and possibly yoga!) which each provide a unique view, and a beach toy closet packed with fun items to make the most of Honeymoon beach! You may also enjoy a game of tennis and/or a more private beach day by visiting the Sprat Bay tennis court and beach, only accessible to owners in the community and their guests (that includes you!)



Come stay in ultimate luxury and experience the laid-back vibe of Water Island.

Quiet and peaceful with a special bonus: a cat that came to visit!

The property is unique with a beautiful indoor landscape! The house was clean, the kitchen well equipped and an amazing view. Millie responded to any questions we had and is absolutely delightful. It is very quiet and peaceful on the island and we got around in a golf cart. There is a darling cat that came to visit everyday.

Sharp knives and great cook wear.

You gotta know if you’re VRBO has sharp knives and great cook wear that every detail has been thought of. H20 is an amazing property, with an incredible view into Charlotte Amalie and Havensight. The new upgrades to the property make H20 even more special. The host Millie is a gem, right there with suggestions and quick answers/responses to inquiries and questions. We will be Back!!

H20 Water Island

This house is one of the greatest experiences we have ever had. The photos do it no justice. It is so much larger and more beautiful than they show. During the day it is a breezy paradise. The indoor atrium and the breeze that run through the house instantly gives you a great Caribbean feel. Bright and so well laid out open floor plan. The kitchen is huge and very well equipped. The entire house has so many amenities that aren’t even listed. Millie is the best host you can hope for. Her southern charm and welcoming attitude makes you feel instantly welcomed and like you are an instant part of the island. At night the house completely changes into a part of the scenery. Any one of the many decks at night or just staring out the giant windows that overlook Hassel island and St. Thomas offer amazing views. The gentle heartbeat of St. Thomas breezes over the ocean and is just an unexplainable feeling. The house is great for a single couple or multiple couples. H2O is so private feeling. What a great overall experience.

Ok

We were lucky enough to find H2O when we were planning our stay in Water Island. Waking up to that view every morning never gets old. Most days sunny, but even on the two cloudy mornings the view is breathtaking. The house could not be better equipped, everything I looked for was there. There isn't one kitchen tool or appliance that was lacking. Millie is hands down the best host. She was always available to answer any questions, even on her birthday! Such a lovely lady. Honeymoon beach is beautiful, fun, mostly not crowded with the exception of the cruise ship excursion boats, but thankfully those guests only stay for about an hour. Fun to people watch. There's nothing to do, and so much to do! The island residents are so friendly and we enjoyed meeting so many. Heidi's Hilltop not only serves the best food, there's bingo on Saturdays! But our favorite thing about our stay at H2O is definitely Barbara, our vacation cat. She won us over and is the sweetest girl. Miss her already! We will be back next year, god willing!

About the host

Hosted by Eric and Kelly Ronsheimer

Host profile image
My husband, Eric and I are from the San Francisco Bay Area in California. While he has been working as a software engineer, I have been a high school teacher (French / English) since 2002 and began teaching yoga in 2023. We have a daughter, Abby, who graduated in 2025 and will attend CSU Monterey Bay. As a family, we love playing "Scooby-Doo Clue," and as a couple, we are crazy about cornhole (which we started playing on Water Island!). The only reason we have H2O in the Caribbean is because after closing escrow on a house on the big island of Hawaii in 2018, the volcano, Kilauea, began erupting; within 5 weeks, fissure 8 opened up and proceeded to bury our new home in 60-80 feet of lava. With the lava insurance money, we decided to take a different route, and came to St. Thomas. Falling in love with H2O the minute I opened the door and was greeted by the indoor tropical garden, misting from the rain above (yes, it rains in the house, but only in the garden), I gasped and we knew it was the one. This house is so special to us and we want others to experience how it feels to spend time in such a unique, one of one property. I guess you could say that I'm glad Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes, fire, and lightning, decided to claim our house and send us on another adventure in the Caribbean!

Why they chose this property

Kelly & Eric were initially anxious about looking at real estate on Water Island which requires a ferry ride from St. Thomas as well as a golfcart to navigate the island. The relaxed and charming vibe of Water Island and Honeymoon Beach drew them in. After looking at several properties, Chuck Gidley, the selling agent, said to them from the front seat of the golfcart, "Let me show you the house you are going to buy." That is when they discovered H2O. Kelly's jaw dropped when she took in the 3000 square foot great room with a 600 square foot tropical indoor atrium. It was drizzling that day and Eric & Kelly felt the light rain watering the plants around them as they stood among the foliage in the garden. Located in Sprat Bay, the only private community on the island, H2O was really the ONLY choice for them.

-Thanks again for showing us our house Chuck!
