Exquisite, private villa, centrally located and close to world-famous Magen`s Bay!
Villa Gardenia- a luxurious villa nestled above the Mandahl Bay on St. Thomas’ Northside. This villa has magnificent down island views of the Caribbean Sea, St. John, Jost Van Dyke, and Tortola. Just a quick five minute drive to world-famous Magen`s Bay beach, this luxurious three bedroom villa boasts impeccable furnishings and newly landscaped gardens with walking paths that create visual delights inside and out. The garden features a bubbling fountain and koi pond (Koi Pond currently not-in service - we apologize and hope to have it sorted out soon), while the covered veranda offers a relaxing space to meditate or enjoy the ocean views.
Villa Gardenia’s exceptional kitchen provides all the space and accoutrements needed to craft gourmet meals or simple casual fare. A social place in the heart of the home, the kitchen has granite countertops along three sides, with bar stools along one side for coffee, cocktails, or conversation. At its center is a five burner gas range, two electric ovens, a microwave and an array of implements and utensils that would satisfy even the most discriminating chef. A screened door off the kitchen opens to a south-facing terrace, a private walled patio with sofa, lounge chairs, and table seating for six. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast or sunbathe in the afternoon. A marble-tiled powder room is nearby. And for those needing access to the outside world, a nearby office cove includes an all-in-one copier/printer/fax/scanner. The villa is equipped with high speed internet, free whole-house Wifi, and a 27 kW generator. The laundry room is just off the kitchen and also contains a wine cooler.
Three bedrooms, each featuring it`s own ensuite bath, are located off the great room. The master suite features a king size Select Comfort Sleep Number bed and features a luxurious bathroom with two sinks, granite countertops, marble floors and walls, a raised tub, and roomy shower. Bedroom two includes a queen bed, while bedroom three features two twin-sized beds - or a king (when converted). Both secondary bedrooms have full marble baths with glass-enclosed showers.
Guests receive daily maid service Monday through Friday. This villa is surrounded by a six foot high concrete wall in a peaceful residential area, making it a favorite of families, couples and professionals seeking a most exceptional island experience.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Villa Gardenia. Justin and his team were the perfect hosts, very helpful and responsive; the view was beyond amazing; the house was huge and so well stocked, pure unadulterated luxury; the pool and gardens were sooooo special; plus very friendly and efficient maid service! Villa Gardenia is a true gem, and should be on everyone’s bucket list!

We really enjoyed the property. Plenty of room for 6 adults. The kitchen was extremely well-appointed. The pool and hot tub were perfect. We were 15 minutes from everything. I would highly recommend the property to family or friend groups.

The pictures do not do this property justice, it's truly incredible!
The hot tub and pool were very nice and the kitchen was completely stocked and had ample room for cooking and entertaining. If we come back to St. Thomas we will definitely consider staying here again!

The property was exactly as pictured. Beautiful, clean, spacious. The direction link took us right there and the regular maid service all week was a bonus. The concierges were receptive and helped book massages and the view from the hot tub was perfect.

This property is absolutely gorgeous. it is fully stocked with everything you could want. We would definitely stay here again. The only issue we had was the power went out for a short time one night and the generator never kicked on.

Hi Christine! Thank you so much for the 5 star review! I just wanted to clarify for any future guests, when the generator failed to start, I had someone there to get it sorted out within 30 mins of your call.
We take immense pride in making sure all of our guests have an amazing stay, and so I am delighted to hear you had a great time! Please come see us again soon!
We could not have asked for a more beautiful and easy stay. The view from the veranda and pool deck is jaw-dropping. The house is beautifully decorated and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We did not want to leave and spent most of our vacation just hanging in.

Thank you, Ronald! I'm so happy to hear the Villa lived up to your expectations and helped make your trip memorable. It was a pleasure hosting your group, and I’m glad our team could respond quickly to your needs. Happy guests like you make it all worthwhile—hope to see you again soon!
This home is amazing. The views are incredible - and everything was great. Justin was very responsive when we had a few questions - and we loved the privacy and open floor plan. The pool and hot tub were amazing - highly recommend sitting in the hot tub at night to look at the stars! Very narrow road leading up to property, so just be careful -especially at night. Google maps works great on the island - so get out and enjoy. Very close to everything - we give it 10 out of 10!
This property was absolutely lovely. Nice breezes ruffling all of the beautiful plants while we gazed from the pool or hot tub out into the stunningly blue ocean. The property itself was clean, well-appointed, and welcoming. We found everything we needed. Jackie, who came to clean and take care of the pool, was thorough and just a lovely, warm person. We highly recommend this property.

Thank you, Debbie! I'm so glad the home lived up to your expectations and that you had a fantastic stay. It was a pleasure communicating with you—would love to host you again!
NO JOKE- it's a hillTOP Villa. GORGEOUS views. Responsive, helpful, amazing Property Manager (Justin), Concierge (Meghan), and Housekeeper (Jackie). Everything was top-notch! We all (family of 6) had a great vacation. Will definitely contact Justin again!
This property was amazing! It provided a luxury lifestyle with wonderland amenities. The kitchen was a chef’s dream with high-end appliances, kitchen tools, and serving ware. The view was spectacular. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and outdoor patio. The property was large so we could spread out in different locations throughout our stay. The only negative was driving up the mountain to get to it. Would definitely book again!

Thank you so much for the glowing review, Julia! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the luxury touches, stunning views, and all the amenities—from the chef’s kitchen to the outdoor spaces. Totally understand the mountain drive—it’s part of the adventure, but I’m glad it was worth it! We'd love to welcome you back anytime. 😊
Villa Gardenia is even more beautiful when you get there. Spotlessly clean. Very quiet location and the view can not be beat. Justin was very quick to answer phone calls, texts and emails.
Edie, with Prestige Luxury was spot on with recommendations for both jeep and boat tours. She was also very helpful with restaurants as well and fun to talk to.

I’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to Edie—she’ll be thrilled to hear her recommendations made your trip even better. Hope to welcome you back again soon!
As timeshare owners for many years in St Thomas, we stepped outside our usual and rented Villa Gardenia with two other couples. Everything advertised in pictures and in the written description of the property was accurate. The home is beautifully appointed and the grounds are meticulously cared for. The home is equipped with everything you could possibly need and more! The property management team, led by Justin Thomas, were attentive and quick to respond when we had a question.
We highly recommend Villa Gardenia!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful words and glowing recommendation, Donna! We're thrilled Villa Gardenia delivered a memorable experience beyond the expected. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be honored to welcome you and your friends back anytime!
Villa Gardenia was fantastic in every way! The villa and view were even better than the photos, and it was perfectly clean. Wifi and other electronics worked great! Everything prior to, and during, our stay was easy. The concierge was very helpful with our planning (getting groceries and food trays delivered on our arrival day, booking tours, restaurant recommendations), and the housekeeper was friendly and helpful too. We spent a lot of time at the villa around the pool, in the hot tub, and using the grill and kitchen. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. We usually go to different places, but we may come back to Villa Gardenia!

Thank you so much, Jef! I'm thrilled to hear Villa Gardenia exceeded your expectations and made your stay so enjoyable. From the views to the amenities, and the support from our concierge and housekeeper—it’s wonderful to know everything came together seamlessly. We'd absolutely love to welcome you back if you decide to return. It means a lot that Villa Gardenia might be the exception to your usual travel routine! 😊
This was a spectacular property for us. It was a little overkill for our family of three, but we loved it! We used the hot tub every day, enjoyed the extraordinary views, and loved every minute of it. The bedrooms are beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable. We felt safe and secluded. The property is located high on the hill so it is far away from the hustle and bustle and provides a peaceful getaway with an incredible view of the stars at night. Highly recommend.
We also had great communication with the property owner/management and they were available for any questions we had at any time. Seemless experience.

We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back whenever you're ready for another serene getaway.
