About this property

Gorgeous, Spa-like 3BR with Island Elegance & Stunning Ocean Views

Enjoy breathtaking ocean views from the top of the USVI…through floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors opening onto balconies with sheer white curtains floating in the breeze. Sink into relaxation in an elegant blend of island, traditional and contemporary ambience tucked away on a private drive in a secluded locale at the top of a cliff. Sip coffee and mimosas as you watch sailboats pass below from the balcony...visit any of our 20+ beaches (3 beaches under 5 minutes from Clifftop), dine out at 16+ restaurants within 1-2 miles...or take advantage of nearby grocers and your fully stocked kitchen (pots/pans, dishes, crystal wine glasses, spices, condiments). Relax in balmy island breezes, or turn on the climate-controlled AC in every room as you enjoy 180-degree ocean views from the balconies and glass walls spanning the ocean-facing side.

Stay in touch with high-speed wifi and a flatscreen web-enabled SmartTV ready for your Netflix password (or we can provide a complimentary Amazon Prime password). An outside washer/dryer laundry nook often offers a fresh breeze even doing laundry (detergent provided). You may spy parrots, iguanas, geckos, or hear island tree frogs at dusk. Clifftop offers complimentary snorkel gear, beach towels, beach toys, reef-safe sunblock, and more. Indoor games, books, and postcards for lazy days. Plus conveniences: soaps, shampoos, scented lotions, pedicure tools (bring your own polish!), phone chargers, etc.

Clifftop Villa is a 5-minute drive from 3 palm-studded beaches in your rental car (note that a rental car or my recommended car-&-driver is required for Clifftop: our island taxis don’t like to go off the main roads!).

All 3 bedrooms have queen platform beds and memory foam mattresses. The light & airy master has an ocean view from your bed, an ensuite bath, and both get a flood of golden sunlight in the late afternoon (you’ll think you left the lights on ;-)

The old-world elegant central bedroom stays low-light all day with deep floor-length curtains, perfect for those who like to sleep in darkness or nap!

The sun y front bedroom has 4 windows, an ocean view from the bed over the side balcony, golden curtains, balmy breezes and shares a bath with the central room.

Clifftop Villa is located in a secluded neighborhood with driveway parking. There may be a renter in an apartment unit below (separate driveway and entrance on another level). The outdoor laundry alcove/supplies are shared with the downstairs apartment, but they’ll try to use it when you’re out.

Your nice quiet pet is welcome to visit too (I love animals!) with prior approval and an extra $150 deep clean fee.

While it’s just .75 miles above the main road, Clifftop is in a quiet, remote-feeling area; our neighbors enjoy their peace and quiet, so Clifftop isn’t suited for parties, loud late-night balcony raves (or late-night drives home from clubs!).

Of course, there is free Wi-Fi, parking, and AC. Getting Around: Again, a car is required, as the house is high above the bustle of the main road and off St Thomas's "safari bus route" (driveway parking). There are many rentals on island, but do confirm in advance, as car rentals are often on Caribbean time too! If you don’t want to drive, I can connect you to a car and driver (arrange before your visit!). Taxis are not nice about going off main roads and the bigger "safari" taxis can't fit!

Great view, you can't beat having such a wonderful almost 180 view. Home was designed well to provide an incredible view. Air conditioning provided (main living room and one bedroom), couldn't get two bedrooms to work, but the home was still cool. Parking available.

This place is truly beautiful with a stunning ocean view! It is super close to most of the main tourist spots in the USVI, which made getting around very easy. There were a few planned electricity outages, but they were very manageable and didn't bother us. Barb is a great host who is highly responsive and helpful with any concerns you might have. Overall, our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house us quite large and was was very clean. The air conditioning in the unit is very good. The unit in the master bedroom did not work but we were fine just leaving our door open. It stayed very comfortable at night. Thw drive up to the unit and parking is definitely an adventure as well as turning around in the driveway. Once you get it figured out its all good. You cant beat the view from the patio. You can see forever! We lived our stay !

My family of 4 really enjoyed staying in this beautiful mountain top home. Barb our host had most of the amenities we needed for our stay, including coolers, beach towels, sunscreen, and snorkeling equipment. The only beach item that was missing was beach chairs. Our only complaint was that there were multiple power outages on the island during the last 2 days of our stay. Definitely not Barb's fault, but a generator would have been appreciated. After speaking with some of the locals, power outages on the island are common and many homes have a generator. Despite the power outages, we had a great time and Barb was a gracious host.

Michelle, I’m so glad your family enjoyed your stay even though you were here for a mad power outage (usually 1-2hrs: you really had a big one!!). And yes, there are definitely many rentals with generators, they just cost a lot more!

This was the second time in three years we’d stayed at Barb’s place. We will be back again! The drive up the mountain is rough but so worth the view and the peaceful surroundings. Follow her directions and use Apple Maps! You definitely need a Jeep. There was an issue with a couple AC units due to a power outage surge in previous weeks but repairs were made while we were there. We stayed cool no matter what though. Barb has everything you need for your stay except beach chairs which you can rent at most beaches if desired. It was nice having a cooler and beach basket to carry all our stuff around too. She has a great selection of ‘just in case’ items and books/movies/games. Having the washer and dryer helps to go home with less dirty laundry and saves you needing to pack extra clothes too. Her frozen ice pack wrap helped relieve the sunburn pain, since I forget how quickly I burn while there. I am so glad we stayed here again. The mornings on the porch slowly easing into the day and later enjoying the night sky make for perfect ways to start and end your days. She also rents out the bottom of the house which we’ve stayed in before so if you’re in need of another couple bedrooms and bathroom, you might be able to rent both spaces for a larger group which we plan on doing sometime. Just message her for that link also. Thanks for another lovely week Barb!

Barb's place is amazing and I will definitely come back in the future. Very spacious with everything you need and more (she even had extra little supplies and water which came in handy as we arrived later in the day after a rainstorm). Barb has definitely thought of everything to make you feel at home - she even had a REAL Christmas tree all lit up in the house while we were there! House is very comfortable, quiet and clean. View is spectacular so my only regret is we were so busy we weren't at the house much during the daylight hours. Barb left us great directions to the house which boosted our confidence in google maps but if you just find "clifftop villa" on your map the directions were spot on. Roads are no joke as you have to go up pretty steep roads to get the great view so I would definitely rent a jeep or 4x4 with good clearance. After a few trips up we got used to it and it wasn't very hard.

Absolutely spectacular home with a scenic view. The house is well-stocked, and has extremely comfortable bedding and furniture. The Christmas decor was incredible, and made the rental house a home.

About the host

Hosted by Barb

Host profile image
A perpetual traveler (kayaker, paddleboarder, surfer, skier, snowboarder, rock & mountain climber), I love to see new places, and to share my favorite spots! The Virgin Islands are a special place, and all the more so after the hurricanes — you are helping us rebuild our island just by choosing to visit, and I am excited for you to experience Clifftop Villa firsthand!

Why they chose this property

Such gorgeous views, soothing, spa-like atmosphere. Because it’s so high up, it’s so safe, windblown, socially distanced, removed from the bustle, while still less than a mile from the main road. When I lived here, I never locked the door — in fact it was blocked open for 4 years with a handmade planter holding a local lemon tree!

What makes this property unique

Stunning water views, floor-to-ceiling windows, balcony, lovely breezes, and gracious living, five minutes from beaches and minutes from shops and ecotours — What more could you ask? ;-)
