This was a fabulous property with a fabulous host. The amenities were so thoughtful. It was the convenience of being at home but at this gorgeous island. Great location for getting to all the good spots but tucked away in a gated community. The guide was tremendously helpful for the house and utilizing it’s features as well as having a wonderfully put together list of suggestions on how to enjoy the island.

House is perfect, beautiful and also comfortable. Equipped with everything you could possibly need. The views of the ocean and the surrounding islands are amazing, and the pool area is awesome. Property manager Ali is super responsive… she even helped me by finding a power cord for my laptop after I forgot mine. We had an amazing time staying here and would highly recommend it.

A perfect week! Ali is the best hostess! She literally thought of everything to make our stay comfortable, easy and enjoyable. Her home is immaculate and stocked with everything needed for a home away from home. She is accessible, helpful, and kind. She provided endless information about the island and made it easy for us to decide what to do and how to get there. Her little touches made a huge difference! The views from this home are outstanding! We spent hours in the pool just admiring the view. I could go on and on, but I'll just end by saying that this was our best VRBO experience ever! Top notch!!!

Our stay at Villa Palmera was fabulous! The host is very communicative and ready to help with anything guests need. The property is stunning and everything you could want for a visit to St. T. It was extremely clean, well stocked on arrival, and includes all necessities for a beach day. The villa has great A/C in every room, a fully equipped kitchen and possibly the best view on the island. It’s also important to note that this villa is extremely private while also being located relatively close to shops and attractions. Definitely worth a stay at Palmera! 11/10 - would definitely book again.

Our stay at Villa Palmeira was truly unforgettable—and honestly, it set the tone for one of the best group trips we’ve ever had.The layout is perfect—plenty of space to gather for drinks, meals, and laughs. Each bedroom felt like its own retreat.The views are absolutely unreal. We found ourselves stopping mid-conversation just to take them in. Some of our favorite memories weren’t even “planned” activities—they were mornings with coffee overlooking the water, afternoons by the pool with music playing, and long evenings outside we didn’t want to end.And speaking of music—the iPad already connected to the home’s sound system was such a thoughtful touch. It made it so easy to set the vibe from the moment we arrived.The outdoor showers deserve their own mention—they are an absolute oasis. It’s one of those little luxuries that ended up being a highlight of the stay.We also found ourselves wanting to eat in more than going out—the house is just that enjoyable. Cooking, relaxing, and taking in the views together became part of the experience.The location is fantastic—just minutes from Megan’s Bay, which made beach days incredibly easy. Definitely rent a car to make the most of everything nearby.Ali is an incredible host. From the detailed welcome packet filled with helpful tips and recommendations, to personally reaching out to alert us about airport lines and how to possibly avoid them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Amazing Stay

My family stayed at Villa Palmera for spring break and had a great time. The house is beautiful, the views are amazing and it had everything we needed for the week! Check in and check out were easy and Ali was very kind to check in on us during the week to make sure things were going well. Would definitely recommend!

A view to remember!

To say we enjoyed ourselves and the property is an understatement. Everything was better than expected/advertised and the house was a true vacation in and of itself. Ali and our concierge (Melissa) made sure everything ran smoothly from the checkin process, to stocking the house before our arrival, to booking an in home chef our first night on property, etc. I think it's safe to say any one of us would go back in a heartbeat and look forward to our next visit!

My husband and I live in Michigan, so we love escaping the midwest winters and enjoying the paradise that is Villa Palmera. We love boat days, hanging out by the pool and soaking up the sun.

What makes this property unique

We were immediately drawn to Villa Palmera because of the stunning views and modern setting. We also love the fact that it has no stairs, a covered car port, and a large infinity pool.
