This specific unit is PRIME OCEANFRONT!!!! Perfect for a couple or small family (1-4 persons). Walks out to pool and beach access!

For those of you who may want to dine-in and enjoy the spectacular views and privacy of your condo, there is a fully equipped kitchen with the appliances and cookware that you have at home, plus a furnished patio right off the kitchen and LR.

The close proximity of the condo to the pool and beach will appeal to guests. No need to pack and carry a cooler for the day. From the pool, you are close to your condo for cool refreshments; and at the pool is direct access to the beach and ocean. Location is everything when you are on your dream vacation, and villa 16 is best in the complex - NO trekking down a steep hill or sweating through a hot parking lot to get to the pool or beach access !!!!

For guests who reserve with us, we provide amenities such as cooler, portable chairs, beach towels so that you can be mobile to all the beaches, as well as detailed island activity & dining information/suggestions in email to help plan your vacation in the US Virgin Islands.

Snorkel the close to shore reef. Schedule a snorkeling boat charter or book onsite to go out on Heavenly Days catamaran at Bolongo.

GETTING AROUND: A Rental car is recommended to experience the islands of St. Thomas and St. John most conveniently and economically. Taxis are also an option for getting around.

CLOSEBY U.S. & BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS: St. John , USVI is a must see & is just a short ferry ride via person or car ferry from Red Hook, St. Thomas (No US Passport needed). The British Virgin Islands (BVI's) are also within ferry distance or sailing/snorkeling excursion.

This could be your BEST vacation yet to support our island after the 2017 storms. We do have basic internet in the unit and a DVD player and HDMI for connecting your personal pre-loaded devices to the TV; noting that it's possible that cable TV, phone and high speed unlimited may not be restored by the time of your visit this Spring, but there are hot spots around and AT&T phones work well in St. Thomas for you to tether and mobile hotspot. We have basic Internet for email and some steaming of your subscriptions such as Netflix, Amazon prime, CBS, NBC, etc. We hope for cable and phone restoration by early summer but have already adjusted our rates based on this missing amenity.

COME STAY WITH US!: Let us help you make your dream vacation a reality! St. Thomas is the ultimate vacation destination. For guests who reserve with us, we've done all the research and provide loads of concierge island activity and dining information in email and in the condo to assist with your vacation planning. As some reservations book a year in advance, you will not want to delay planning that special 'no worries' vacation to St. Thomas.

MORE THAN 2 PERSONS??? We also manage several additional oceanfront condos at this same property published at VRBO/Homeaway, including an adjacent 2BR in villa 16 ( vrbo 35690); as well as the only 3BR condo (homeaway 298319) and several other 2BR condos (vrbo 622508, etc). We truly have the BEST selection and personal amenities at Bolongo beach and longest vacation condo rental track record at Watergate Villas, Bolongo, since 2003!!! We set the bar!

We sincerely invite you to make one of our oceanfront condos your Caribbean home away from home, and welcome you to contact us to learn more about planning a special vacation in tropical American paradise.

No beach. all rocks. The unit itself Was definitely not up to what I'm used to in. Microwave was wobbling, the coffee Maker wasn't good. The stove was all crooked cabinets were hanging off. Couldn't open drawers in the dresser rusty. I didn't get to see most of the things that I wanted to see because I couldn't get around. I thought i could get taxis to travel. Not true. I would rent a car for sure even though i don't like driving there. Mims restaurant was good right outside my door. Iggis Restaurant in bolongo was good After leaving i found out alot of things i do different. Including staying somewhere nicer and that has an actual beach. I got locked out of my place because the code wouldn't work About an hour. I called the owner of the unit. Then it worked again

Great studio and we loved the location.
Location is about half way between Red Hook and Charlotte Amalie so it was great for seeing other parts of the island. I recommend renting a car for this location unless you just want to stay at the resort for your stay—which you could, if you must want to relax and stay put. The studio was good sized and clean. Bed was comfy, AC was an older unit but worked well. WiFi worked fine for us. Property was pretty quiet with beautiful views. A few issues for us were the slider is heavy and the runners were needing some repair to be able to open and close smoothly, the deadbolt on the door was broken, although we felt safe. The kitchen is not well stocked. There were not even hot pads to use with the oven. The dvd player advertised was not there. If you don’t care for the iguanas to come on your patio you’d want to stay on a higher floor. Ground level they will come up to you and even climbed on our table. Also, there are breezes that come up occasionally that carry the smell of the dump across the bay. It’s not a super strong smell but you can smell it, especially if you’re sensitive to strong odors. Food: groceries are very expensive (even local caught fish) so bring a few spices and favorites from home if you can. Cost U Less was best price for groceries by far but was a ways away. Igge’s at Bolongo Bay was good- we went back twice. Mim’s right in front of the patio is good but very expensive. The best seafood we had was at Caribbean Fish Market. All in All we’d go back.
