We stayed at Casa Azure for a week. 3 couples all celebrating 10 years of marriage. We were very happy that we selected Casa Azure for our stay. The views of Red Hook, St. John’s and the BVIs were amazing. It was fun to see all the sail boats and ferries go back and forth from Red Hook to St. Johns (although some of them were loud…) As mentioned in other reviews, the home is a duplex with 2 bedrooms on the main level (and deck w/ Hot tub) and one down stairs bedroom with kitchenette (with patio and pool). The layout couldn’t have worked better for our 3 couples and 2 were early risers (who shared the main level) and one that like to spend a little more R&R time in their room (they had the downstairs.) My only complaint with the lower level is you have to go out the front door to walk down the steps (and the door requires a key for entry.) It would be wonderful if there were stairs from the upper deck to the lower patio…
Beyond that, Casa Azure was very welcoming, comfortable and up-to-date. It fit our need perfectly, and trying to plan our next trip back.
The location of Casa Azure was great. Away from Charlotte Amalie where all the cruise ships port and all the crowds. It is a 2 minute drive (or 8 min walk) to the Ritz, if you want a beach. 5 minute drive to Red Hook, which was our hub for everything we did, Fishing, Boat trip to BVIs, and day trips to St. Johns.
Couple other recommendations:
If you like to Fish, go through SeeSki, and ask for Raymond. He has a nice boat (not real good for Marlin, but they weren’t biting when we were there.) and think he is one of the top, if not the top guide in Red Hook. Other boats went out and came back with just a couple fish, and we had good luck (other than the shark fishing…)
If you haven’t been to the BVIs, definitely take a full day, with captain, to the BVIs. When we go back, we will do 2 days, cutting our stops in half allowing for more time at each.
I recommend you strongly consider Casa Azure, assuming Bonnie and Doug still own it. From the moment we booked our stay, to even now 3 weeks later, Bonnie and Doug have been extremely responsive to any questions, concerns or recommendations to help us have a wonderful & memorable Anniversary vacation. Thank you Bonnie & Doug!
