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.

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!
