Stunning getaway

My wife and I travel a lot and stay at very fine resorts but we have never had a stay as incredible as we had at this home. The view was the best we have ever experienced. We had a family of 12 and everyone had their best vacation ever. The island really pairs well with a VRBO stay. The owners and property manager were so helpful to ensure that our stay was the best possible. I really can't say enough about how much our entire family enjoyed our stay.

Overall Good Stay

My family stayed at the villa for a week and overall had a very nice time. The rooms are what we expected based on the pictures - clean but furniture a little run down. The price was very high but we enjoyed the pool, quiet neighborhood and proximity to nice beaches. A few pieces of feedback:- We ran out of water during our stay - recommend making clear in the listing that guests will be expected to conserve water. - Property needs more lighting to get to the lower bedrooms - very dark in the evenings to return to the bedrooms and felt a little unsafe. - We felt rushed to leave on the last day, as cleaning crew arrived 2 hours before check-out and waited on-site for us to depart.

Best birthday ever

A group of 15 family and friends joined my husband and me in St. Thomas at this fantastic villa to celebrate my 70th birthday. Every couple had their own bedroom and bathroom. The common eating area was open air with lovely plants in abundance. Several indoor and outdoor seating areas provided ample opportunity for conversation as well as privacy. The manager lives on property and gave us a great tour of the villa upon arrival and was responsive when we ran out of propane during breakfast preparations one morning. My only concern was that the email with information about entering the property had names and phone numbers of people who no longer work there. The “guestbook” I received by text subsequently was very helpful and should be printed and made available for everyone to look at.Highly recommend!

Absolute paradise

This property was absolutely incredible. I can say for certain I have never stayed anywhere quite so beautiful as Spirit on the Water. The property is so spacious with room for every guest to spread out and have their own space but with a common area large enough for everyone to gather together. Further, Niko and Nick were incredibly helpful during our stay! We absolutely loved them and will absolutely be returning.

Perfect accommodations for our event

Our group consisted of 19 business partners. The villa provided several opportunities for meeting space in a variety of settings. The views are fantastic and the property is terrific. If we could make one improvement it would be to have better wi-fi service but this is a common challenge when traveling to unique private and secluded locations. We very much enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

"Let the Fun Continue" Family Vacation

Very nice experience, as a family. Room to spread out. The property manager was attentive and helpful. The pool is unheated - be prepared for the "polar plunge" and the kitchen appliances need updating. The beds could use new mattress pads and linens. You need to like cats.. alot!!

Stunning Views!

Our family of four (kids 13 and 10) just returned from a 10 day stay at Spirit on the Water. It was wonderful! The views are breathtaking and the pool area can't be beat. The house is uniquely designed and is a special creative space where you can relax and unwind. It's just a short drive to Red Hook and Magen's Bay, where we spent quite a bit of time - so once you get used to the drive to the house it's very easy to get around. The hike close to the house is worth the trek too. June and Ed are lovely people and are there if you need something, but also allow you to have your privacy. We'd return in a heartbeat!

Amazing Babymoon with Friends

My wife and I brought a group of friends with us to Spirit on the Water (SOTW) for a much needed post-COVID vacation (we were all fortunate to be vaccinated early). We had an amazing time at SOTW. We had a smaller group (11ppl), so there was an enormous amount of unused space. If we could have brought more ppl, the price point would have been perfect. The place is as nice as the YouTube video looks (check it out on the listing if you haven't yet). The infinity pool overlooking the ocean is gorgeous. The large courtyard was a great dining area for our group, we only used 1 of the 2 long tables, so double the ppl would be easily supported. If you are going to stay for more than a few days (which I would recommend doing), you should rent cars instead of doing taxis. This place is a little off the beaten path (which adds to the charm), and renting cars made our excursions much more hassle-free. Amazing beaches and ferries to the other islands are a 20min drive away. The house is a perfect mix of nature and comfort. Each bedroom has its own AC which kept us plenty cool when we slept at night. Special shoutout to Niko who was an awesome host while we were there! Hit me up if you ever make your way to North Carolina!

TRUELY A GEM! Tranquil, Healing, & Pure JOY

WOW WOW WOW! WHERE do I even BEGIN? I am still in la-la land & I've been home for 4 days. Spirit On The Water is by far the most special place I have ever stayed with my family - My husband & son. We had the time of our lives in the Virgin Islands. We woke up, enjoyed SOTW & the gorgeous infinity pool. You feel as if you're floating cliffside, in a pool, but in the ocean. It's incredible! The villa was gorgeously decorated with so much uniqueness & love. The colors were happy, vibrant, & you can tell there are so many special memories in this place. I literally did not want to leave!!! We hopped around St. Thomas & St. John & the book of recommendations were so helpful! Diann & Chaz were so helpful & resourceful during our stay & I feel like I will stay in touch for life! We were able to ask them so many questions & contribute towards some of their additional services which helped us save time & enjoy our vacation versus going to the grocery. Tanner was incredible to work with in regards to getting all booked & my many questions. He acted with such urgency & was so accommodating. Everyone was just incredible & whomever is reading this review - PLEASE KNOW YOU ARE STAYING IN A ONE-OF-KIND place that is truly magical & irreplaceable. It has wonderful privacy where it's located as well as the home's layout. It is huge! The outdoor private shower that overlooks the water was one of my very favorites. The pictures are amazing but do not do it justice. We WILL BE BACK AGAIN! Thank you June & your team for having such love for us & for SOTW. My son think's he's a famous celebrity ;) AND my husband & I were able to take a step back from our career's & demands & enjoy simple beauty. TRUELY A GEM!

Best rental ever

I stayed with a group of friends and it was absolutely amazing. Even more magical than the pictures and video make it look. We all constantly stopped and looked at each other to say "I'm so happy right now!" It is a little isolated so having Nick and Nico around to help organize transportation was huge. There are other houses with amazing views, but I don't think there are any options that have such an expansive panorama without another manmade structure in sight.

Paradise in paradise

My stay was magical. Ed and June are the best hosts. Full of love and light. My daughter and I could not have been happier here. The beauty of the home and surroundings is unparalleled. There is a constant breeze blowing that keeps everything comfortable. The beds were very comfortable and the suite we stayed in was perfect for our needs. I spent hours just mesmerized by the view. If you want a peaceful, relaxing and special vacation, this is the place. I could go on and on but frankly, the 9 days I was there just blended into the perfect vacation.

About the host

Hosted by June Miller

Host profile image
“What do you mean I can’t have fun all the time?”
I wouldn’t be who I am today if I followed all the rules. In fact, it’s because I refused to do what I was told that I’ve had this huge array of experiences. Ok, I wouldn’t say that living out of my car in Hawaii was the best idea I ever had but it sure made me appreciate life and know for sure what I didn’t want!
I like fresh air, warm turquoise water, and open spaces for miles. I like young people and old people, little people and big people as long as I can be who I am around them. I like relationships with no yelling, conversations that get me thinking, characters in books that I can imagine being and I like mashed potatoes and gravy no matter what time of day.
If I had a choice whether or not to stop on the side of the road to help rescue a dog or keep driving to get to an appointment on time, I’d be late for my appointment. But that is about the only thing that would make me late. I like keeping my word.
There has never been a time in my life when I wasn’t interested in what other people were thinking, where they were ‘coming from’, and where they were going as a result of all their experiences.
There also has never been a time in my life when I wasn’t looking at who I am, what I want, how I’m going to get it, what it’s going to look like when I do so I can share it with others.

Did I mention I like swimming in warm turquoise water?

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the property the minute we saw it. It was a small 2 bedroom completely secluded at the end of a 1/4 mile drive in a private estate on the most beautiful stretch of coastline in St. Thomas, Spirit on the Water is also graced by the trade winds 12 months a year. We have transformed the house itself, adding the pool and decking and a second story Master suite as well as The Vision on the Water to create the space for people to come together to witness the beauty of life.

What makes this property unique

We like to have fun and hope you do too. Part of our joy in sharing this unique property is seeing the way others are touched by being around this powerful energy. We have no doubt you will feel the vortex. For those wanting to wander out, we are so close to many of the popular island destinations (Red Hook, Magen's Bay (voted one of the top ten beaches in the world by Conde Naste') or Downtown where the jewelry stores are!
We also make sure that there will always be someone nearby to answer any of your questions about the house, the pool, etc. or for recommendations on what to do and where to go!
