Luxury St. Thomas Condo: Ocean View + Beach Access

Reviews

• Beautiful Rental on the Beach and within Minutes of World Renowned Beaches.

  5/5

  My high school Sr. daughter said, “This is our best beach trip yet”. That says it all for me.We spent the mornings and evenings on the one of its many balconies. Watching as the waves lapped the shore below. We could have spent the trip on the property grounds, but wanted to try other restaurants and other beaches. We visited Red Hook each day to get food for breakfast and lunch. The rental had all the dishes and cookware we needed for meals. Great appliances, wolf and subzero. Very relaxing and comfortably decorated. Beach-Secret Harbor was about a 5 min drive, 10 min to Lindquist, 15 min to Coki, and 25 min to Magens beach. These are some of the best ranked beaches in the Caribbean. We easily avoided the cruise ship crowds based by visiting parks and public free beaches. Food in Red Hook is great if you don’t want to cook at home. We especially liked Agave (Mexican), Raw (Sushi), and Pesce (Italian).The VBRO was clean and stocked with items one would find in a hotel stay (towels, soap, shampoo, etc). Checkin and checkout were super simple and easy to understand.Communication with the property owner and owner service were great. We needed very little support. But if we had questions, they were easily accessible by email and chat.With respect to St Thomas, the island was wonderful. The rental is on the East side (opposite side from the airport and cruise ship port). Many of the nicest beaches are on the Eastern side of the island near the rental.

  The villa was very nice and as expected. We had plenty of laundry, dishwasher, toilet paper and dish soap. Did run out of paper towels though.Had a couple of questions and reached out to the on-site contact and he responded right away which was very helpful.The resort does offer beach towel service - pick up and drop off each day at the check-in desk - which was very nice.The beach at the resort didn't have the super blue water when we were there so didn't spend much time on the beach. Did enjoy the pool with the kids and tried both restaurants on site. Sangria restaurant was tasty and reasonable priced. The Fish Market was more "upscale" with it's pricing but didn't think the food was outstanding.It is very near Redhook which has quite a few shops, restaurants, marina, drug store and urgent care - which we visited. :)Overall we enjoyed our time at Elysian and would recommend it to others.

  Place was great and well equipped! Nothing negative to say. Probably the best VRBO property we have ever rented. Would recommend to friends and family.

  The cloth on the 4 lounge chairs on the upper balcony have dried out from the sun and it is ripping.

  The condo is great for families and friends. Well maintained and appointed. Close to beaches and many different restaurants. Beach nearby is small, but quiet and lovely for swimming. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back in the future.
