Our stay at this Cowpet Bay West Beach Condo was nothing short of amazing! This 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo provided everything we could have possibly asked for during our Caribbean getaway. The view from the balcony was breathtaking, with stunning sights of sailboats gently floating on the turquoise waters – the perfect backdrop to every morning coffee and evening sunset. The condo was spotless and stocked with every amenity imaginable. From the fully stocked kitchen to the comfortable furnishings, everything was designed with convenience and relaxation in mind. We truly felt like it was our home away from home. The beds and mattresses were especially fantastic, which is a huge plus for us as senior citizens. Comfortable beds are extremely important, and these provided the perfect support for our backs. We slept like babies every night! The host’s communication was outstanding—quick, helpful, and attentive to every detail. It made us feel well taken care of throughout our stay. She was responsive, helpful, and ensured that all our needs were met promptly. It gave us peace of mind, knowing that we were in such capable hands. While no place is completely perfect, we understood that being beachfront in the Caribbean comes with its own set of challenges. Minor maintenance issues are part of life here, but they were very manageable and didn’t detract from our enjoyment. Considering that you're not paying thousands of dollars a night at the Ritz next door, this condo is an absolute g

Tired Condo Good Location
We were so disappointed by our stay here and felt misled by other reviewers. Yes, the location is good, just minutes to Red Hook by car/taxi, on Cowpet Bay (although no beach directly in front of condo) and next door to the Elysian Hotel & Ritz Carlton (both walkable), but the condo suffers from a lack of attention and quality control. We arrived an hour past check-in to find the cleaners still there and were greeted by a floor rug in entry that was torn and tattered, so first impressions already bad. Here's an idea of what we found in the condo: Gross moldy shower curtain in primary shower, multiple doors that will not close or stay closed, and the two back sliders DO NOT LOCK, a chair on the patio that literally has a sign on it to NOT sit in it, a non-functional fan in the hall bath, missing handle from dresser in primary, bedskirt in primary full of dust balls, multiple burned out light bulbs etc. It's obvious the host hasn't visited here in ages. We expect for this rate to have a clean, comfortable and fully functional unit, but did not. And while not in the host's control, it didn't help that 4 out of our 8 days the condo below was jack hammering out the patio tile, which caused a horrendous noise. Would never stay here again and cannot recommend.

Great Place to Stay In St. Thomas!!
My family stayed here for 8 nights. The place was ideal with the deck overlooking the water being the highlight. One of the best locations in Cowpet Bay with an ocean breeze and close to the beach. A few minor issues that took a bit from the experience but overall would highly recommend this condo and Cowpet Bay West in general!

Good Location Next to Red Hook
We were a group of 2 couples that stayed here for a week. Property was in a nice location- close to red hook and other great beaches. We took our car to a different beach every day. We only hung out by the onsite pool for a 1/2 of an afternoon. Pool is fine, but doesn't overlook the ocean directly. Has a small pool bar that's open until 6:00 or so every night. You NEED to rent a car! You will miss 95% of what the island has to offer if you don't. Or you'll spend a ridiculous amount in cab fare. We took cabs to red hook at night so we could have a couple drinks, and paid $80/night (round trip) for 4 of us. Took a cab once to Margarittaville and it was $30/person round trip. Back to the condo-- it had 2 nice sized bedrooms. Lots of extra blankets, towels, and beach towels. Lots of equipment to use (beach chairs, snorkel equipment, fins, coolers, balls, noodles). I'd suggest checking out what has been left behind in the condo before getting all your supplies. There was a TON of bug spray and sunscreen left behind, detergent, beer, water. It's worth a look. Negative for us-- there were a ton of mosquitos in the condo and specifically in the bathrooms. We didn't contact the property manager- I'm assuming this is a common issue throughout the island in general. Between those in the condo and sand flea's we got SO SO many bug bites on this trip. Patio overlooking the bay was great. We played cards at the table every night. Overall certainly not luxury, but was nice.

We had a wonderful time. Melinda provides an encyclopedia of information for her unit as well as what to do on the island. She provided so many tips on what to expect in various situations, there were no surprises. The location is perfect and I thought Cowpet Bay Beach was only second to Magen’s Bay.

Unforgettable Vacation!
We had a fantastic time in St Thomas at Bella Vista. The villa was great and was perfect for my family. I would highly recommend it. Communication was great and quick on a question we had during our trip. Pool area was very nice although we only used it a handful of times. Great location in terms of being only a short trip way from many of the best beaches St Thomas has to offer. Red Hook was only 5 min outed away which offered plenty of restaurants and shops as well as the marina where you can take charters to other islands or snorkel spots. Boat ferry for pedestrians and cars was right there also for quick trips over to St John. Ww would stay here again when we return to the island.

Everything was absolutely perfect!! We had plenty of room to spread out, yet it was still cozy enough for family time. The porch was my favorite for early morning coffee or late night wine. It was so peaceful. The location cannot be beat. Breakfast, dinner, and water sports are a very short walk. You wouldn't need to leave the resort if you didn't want to. We visited the end of October and the weather was perfect. Yet there were no crowds and we didn't need reservations anywhere.
