About this property

Villa Marina Vista

A beautiful beachy 2bedroom/2 bath unit with cathedral ceilings overlooking the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea. Watch the sunrise from the wrap balcony, enjoy 180 degree views of the islands (from Tortola to St John to St Croix), or sip on a nice cold drink after a day at the beach watching the boats pull into harbor. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the turquoise Caribbean waters from every room in this totally updated condo. Watch the moon rise or sun rise from the spacious balcony, or even your own bed! Two well-appointed bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms flank the kitchen and living area with vaulted ceilings. New A/C units in all rooms. Accommodates 4 adults comfortably in the bedrooms, with room for 2 more on the sleeper sofa in living room. Enjoy a dip in the secluded pool shared by only a few other units in the complex and catch some rays on the sun loungers. Villa comes with WiFi and DISH network tv with all your favorite premium channels, plus Smart TVs so you can stream Netflix, Prime, or Sling TV as well. Xbox One, DVDs, and board games are also available for those looking to unwind after a long day on the beach or in case you happen to catch that one rainy day we have each year. Token operated laundry is available on-site. A free wash and dry are provided for guests. Additional tokens can be purchased for a nominal fee if requested at check-in. Your personal Concierge will be available at time of arrival to answer any questions and show you around the villa. They can also help with recommendations while you are on island, or if there are any issues during your stay. The small port town of Red Hook is just .2 miles down the hill and gets you to the numerous award winning restaurants and bars. If you are feeling adventurous, the passenger and car ferry boats to St John are within .5 miles and delivering you to the white sand beaches of the more quaint St John virgin isle. Redhook also offers great shopping, day charter boat tours to the BVIs, fishing excursions for big game fish, and diving tours for those seeking some more fun and sun while visiting. Villa has ample parking right by the front entrance and is accessible by taxis as well. Upon arrival at the airport guests can take a taxi to the villa or rent a car. A car rental is highly recommended and will be more cost effective over the course of your stay. Having your own vehicle will provide more freedom and driving on the left hand side of the road is only weird for the first few minutes ;) Rates are based on 2 guests. Additional guests after 2 are subject to $25/night per person fee plus tax (with the exception of holidays).

Great spot

Stunning views overlooking the harbor, with spacious rooms and a living room. Really close to great beaches and the ferry to St. John. We had a blast! (the hill up to the property was doable, but definitely provided some laughs for us as we walked slowly after a day in the sun!)

Great Views and location

This property was perfect for us! The views were amazing! The condo was clean, and had everything we needed to cook. We did not have a car but was able to either walk down the road to shops and restaurants or get a cab to drive us where we wanted to go. The road is very steep, but manageable. The location was great! We would stay here again.

What a view

We loved the comfy and chic veranda stretching across the entire unit. It’s perched high over the busy Red Hook marina with views extending out to St John and beyond. The decor, appliances and amenities were fantastic. This is one vacation rental we were truly sorry to leave! We had to do a little maneuvering to get our rental car up the steep hill to get there but it worked out fine. The manager, Lisa, was very helpful and easy to reach.

Perfect spot in Red Hook!

We love Red Hook and this is the perfect location for staying in Red Hook. The views are as spectacular as shown. You can step out to that incredible view from either bedroom or the living room. Quick drive or even walk to the restaurants, Moe's Fresh Market, the ferries, or boating excursions to the other Virgin Islands. Residence was clean, comfortable and well cared for. Although this has ultra quiet mini-split air conditioners in each room, we always opted for the fresh air and island breezes. We loved it the minute we walked in and couldn't have had a nicer stay. The owner, Steve and property manager, Lisa were great to deal with. Would strongly recommend this to anyone. (Don't miss Island Time Pub with its open air seating, good food and atmosphere!)

Great condo with amazing views!

We enjoyed our time not only in beautiful St. Thomas but in the condo as well. This condo exceeded our expectations! The attention to detail was appreciated! Property manager, Lisa, was very accommodating, helpful and responsive. She gave recommendations and answered all of our questions quickly. The condo was beautiful and well equipped to meet our needs. We would definitely recommend this unit and will stay there again when we return to the island.

Fabulous View of Red Hook

This small Villa has been completely redone. It is beautiful and very comfortable. Everything you need is right down the hill from the Villa, Moe's grocery, Tap and Still burgers (which are great BTW) and other restaurants. Some of the other travelers said they would walk up and down the hill to the Villa. Well walking down no problem, but up, as with most things on the islands, is very steep. We rented a car and loved having it. We took the car ferry to St John and enjoyed most of the beaches they had to offer. Both the car and people ferries are just down the Villa as well. So a very convenient location. Be aware if you rent from Hertz they will not let you take your car to St John. We rented from Budget. I loved sleeping with the patio door open, so nice.

Family of 5 from Cleveland stayed for a few nights. Very nice place. View on the patio is fantastic!!!!! Very close to restaurants in Red Hook. Dinner at Pesci's was very good and the burgers at Tap-n-Still are awesome (both of these are very close). I would very much recommend. The only reason for the 4 instead of 5 was because we had a little trouble finding parking one night as cars filled the side of the drive with no viable spots. I almost called owner for alternatives; but we made-do; but all-in-all i would recommend to others. Keane (Cleveland, Ohio)

Beautiful views

As mentioned in all the posts - the view is incredible. Loved sitting on the balcony and having coffee in the morning or drinks at night. Location is great - town of Red Hook at bottom of driveway (about 1/4 mile walk). Ferry, grocery store, restaurants and more all close. Noticed the comment on the tv system. I would say probably true, did not look like the easiest to navigate - but then again we did not watch tv once in our week there. We were there in July, very hot and very muggy - a better air conditioning system than the two window units located on top of the beds would have been nice. Overall - nice place and I would recommend.

Great view from the balcony and a great time down the street

This was a great rental. The view was great and the pool was nice to have too. It was a quick drive/walk down the hill to shopping a great bars/ restaurants. The ferry was very close as well to get to St John. Both had beautiful beaches. We rented a car and used the cabs. I would recommend a rental even if you don't use it all the time it was nice to have...Great time!

View is a 5, house a 2.

The view is incredible. It would be hard to beat anywhere on the island. However, the house has issues. 6 receptacles are dead. I checked all breakers and the issue must be wiring. This kept the Dish TV system from working and problematic when charging devices. The 1990s projection system should be replaced with a regular TV. The guest bed needs replaced. Cleaning was cursurary and should be more thorough. This could be a 4 with an afternoon of work. Still, the view and location in Red Hook is why this house should be considered.

Great views from Villa Marina Vista

My husband and I stayed at Villa Marina Vista with another couple we had a blast! Waking up to the view was enough to give this place 5 stars. It was exactly as pictured, clean, and well kept. The amenities were awesome as well. The grill was very convenient and we made good use of it. They had everything you would need for a beach day (hammocks, beach chairs, towels) and enough to keep you busy for a night in (large selection of DVD's and games). It is within walking distance if you want to enjoy the night life Redhook has to offer or if you want to take a day trip to St. John or the BVI. If you have the chance I would recommend taking the ferry to St John for the day. The beaches are AMAZING! All of the reviewers will tell you to rent a car. I would suggest that if you have small children, have trouble walking long distances, or want to explore the island more than 1 of 2 days. We did it without renting a car and it wasn't a problem. It is quite a hike but if you like a little adventure and good exercise every day you will enjoy it (I did). We did rent a car when we were exploring St. John. L&L Jeep rental was great to work with. We didn't use the grocery store that is recommended by the house manager because that was little too far to walk but we did use Moe's which is within walking distance and it had everything we need to make meals and plenty of adult beverages as well. You will pay an extremely steep price for groceries (or at least more than we do in the states) so just be mindful of that. All in all, it was a great time and we would recommend Villa Marina Vista to anyone!

Paradise Found!

Overall, this was a great experience and place to stay! The condo was exactly like the pictures and the amenities were wonderful, the kitchen was stocked with very nice dishes and pans and the beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean and well maintained. Our favorite thing was to have a relaxing breakfast overlooking the incredible view of Red Hook harbor and listening to the birds and feeling that sea breeze. It was a great location as it was very convenient to the beaches and ferries and the fun places in Red Hook but then we felt we could get away from it by going up the hill to the condo to relax. Overall, a wonderful experience and probably one of the best rentals and most beautiful views I have ever experienced! Thank you!
