Waterfront vacation rentals in U.S. Virgin Islands

Verena's Holiday Haven was newly remodeled and very clean. We appreciated all of the beach supplies and the great location. It was just steps from the beach. Gaven was good at communicating details with us, and check-in was very straightforward.

First time on the island and staying here and waking up to the amazing view every morning made me fall in love with it! The pictures don’t do it justice! The perfect quiet neighborhood for a relaxing stay but still close enough to Red Hook to easily access restaurants and the ferry to St. John. The book with local recommendations inside took the guesswork out of planning and helped us find places we may not have otherwise! Can’t wait to stay again soon and spend more time on the balcony watching the boats come and go!

If you're seeking the ultimate relaxing escape, look no further than Turtle's Nest. This Airbnb is a true gem, perfectly designed to be both welcoming and accommodating, with every detail thoughtfully addressed for a stress-free stay. Imagine waking up to pristine water views right from your bed, or spending serene evenings on the patio, enjoying a cold drink and card games under a canopy of stars. Mornings are perfect for peaceful paddle boarding, and you'll love spotting the local Caribbean. They even provide beach gear, making your days by the ocean wonderfully comfortable. We can’t wait to visit again soon!

Great location. Taxi stand, restaurants bar and beach steps away. Red Hook just a few minutes away by Taxi. Would definitely stay again.

We had an absolutely fantastic time during our stay! This place is a one-of-a-kind gem, perched right next to the ocean with stunning views. It ranks among the top spots we’ve ever experienced. The sound of the mighty waves crashing just outside was nothing short of incredible. Plus, having a private seating area mere steps from the sea made watching the waves and sunsets an unforgettable treat. Our hosts were incredibly kind and attentive, checking in with us each day to ensure everything was perfect and sharing great tips on local sights and dining options. We’re already looking forward to coming back someday!

We can’t speak highly enough of Kathleen’s cottage. Kathleen was friendly and helpful. She provided lots of great suggestions for things to do on the island. We felt right at home in the cottage. She really has thought of everything you might need. We really appreciated the cooler, towels, and beach chairs. The cottage is in a great location for exploring the island. We hope to come back in the future!

We stayed at St Thomas in Jackie’s place for three nights. The view from the porch was more beautiful than the pictures. We enjoyed our coffee in the morning watching the sunrise and in the evening, sunset. Jackie was so kind in offering to pick us up at the boat terminal and also allowed us to check in early too. She sent a video with clear instructions in finding the place. Jackie responded to our every need. A basket of snacks, bottled water, sunscreen and bug spray were waiting on the counter…so nice. We enjoyed our stay.

My family of three (wife and 11yo daughter) visited STX for the second straight year and luckily found Dee’s place. Condo was as described: right on the beach and clean… What we did not expect was how perfectly quiet and secluded this condo would be. STX is generally a quiet island, but despite numerous units, me and my daughter were generally the only people at the pool for ten straight days, the condo is absolutely silent, and the other residents are quite friendly and helpful. The beach is walkable and we snorkeled several times at low tide, seeing an array of sea-life feet from the condo; we even saw a lion fish! Condo is central to everything: 12 minutes from the Christiansted Government Parking (free) which was perfect for several short stops, and 30 minutes from Sandy Point and Point Udall. Condo was comfortable all around and laundry in unit was a plus. Dee’s place was perfect for our family. Already hoping to return.

Beautiful, clean, eclectic villa in a great location!! Host representative met us at check in and walked us through everything. House was super clean and the view was great. Definitely want to arrive during daylight as the driveway is a little tricky the guest time up. Also, recommend 4 wheel drive vehicle. Having the beach chairs and cooler was a great addition for our adventures. Location is great for beaches and islands exploring. Was a great place to spend our 25th wedding anniversary:)

10 out of 10, not only was the place amazing, but K was the best host. She checked in with us and gave us all the information we needed to enjoy our stay. K was super accommodating as well. The views were absolutely stunning! One of the best sunrises I’ve ever witness, and the cool thing was, you didn’t have to go anywhere to see it, you literally just walked out on the balcony and there it was. Place was extremely clean and well organized, pool in the back is perfect for a relax and chill kind of day. The location is on the north end of the island, you can walk to the local market, we would get groceries there. We went to Sib’s, bar/restaurant close by, one of the oldest restaurants on the island I believe. The food was great! If you want a super private, check out for a couple of days, to rest and relax, this is your place. Do not hesitate, go ahead and book it. Thanks again to K for being the best host and allowing Sami and I to stay at your place. We will be back for sure!

Water Island was absolutely beautiful! Our stay was amazing—even when we ran into island-related issues like a power outage, both Isla and Erin were quick to jump in and get everything up and running again, even over Easter weekend! This was our first time visiting the islands for my birthday trip, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The location was stunning, with the best views! Haze was an angel—such a sweet boy who kept us company while we missed our own cats. We’ve already decided to make this a yearly tradition and plan to stay at Isla’s for many years to come. We absolutely loved this place—it was the perfect getaway!

We had a wonderful 3 days. The house is beautiful and it offers an easy to relax atmosphere.

I had a great trip staying at Cabrita by the Sea! I was provided with many recommendations and had any questions I had answered quickly! The Airbnb was easy and convenient near Red Hook where you can find many restaurants and the ferry to St John. While at St Thomas I would recommend going on a snorkeling trip. Our favorite beaches were Magens Bay and Trunk and Maho (St John)

My husband and I spent our honeymoon at St. John and choosing Ramona and Chris’s place was absolutely perfect. Chris met us when we got our rental car and led us to the Airbnb which was so kind and helpful. He gave us a ton of local recommendations and answered any questions we had throughout the week. The views are absolutely breathtaking and are hard to fully capture on their listing pictures! The AC worked wonderfully and the outdoor shower made things feel extra tropical! The place came with a few cat friends that we thoroughly enjoyed and the stairs were the perfect workout in the morning before the beach. We hope to come back to St. John in the near future and will most definitely be back here if it is just the two of us! Thanks for making our trip so memorable with a wonderful home for the week!!

We had an issue with our initial Airbnb, this one was highly recommended to us and within 15 - 20 min of reaching out to Stuart he made arrangements and we had instructions for his beautiful place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This was our 4th trip to the island and every place we have stayed has something that stands out, this one had many! Location, beautiful surroundings, and beachfront! I could not get enough of listening to the crashing waves. Thank you to Stuart who played such a big part in our memorable vacation.

Only five minute walk to Sapphire Beach. We walked down there every morning and found plenty of places to walk at the resorts around the condo. The pool is perfect size to just relax. Having the snorkel gear was amazing. The place has everything we needed for a fantastic vacation. Several restaurants all within walking distance. 2 minute drive to Red Hook.

Kendra responded promptly to questions. Loved the Sapphire Beach location. So convenient being on the beach with lovely pools there too. Quiet location. I rented one of her cars for 2 days and was very glad I did. We were able to drive to several different beaches and restaurants. My daughter did the driving. I would not have felt comfortable driving but it made things so easy and convenient and no waiting for taxis. People were very friendly on the island. Kendra’s unit had everything you could possibly need. I highly recommend staying at Sapphire.

This is my 2nd time staying with Britney. The unit is very nice. Comfortable & well equipped. The location is great. It is close to everything. As a returning guest, I received a 10% discount. That is a little less than the 20% advertised but still greatly appreciated. I hope to stay there again in 2026!

great stay! would come back again

We had a great time staying at sail away on sapphire beach. Great walkout little condo with easy access to all of St. Thomas. Super close to Red hook, 20 minutes to magens bay and minutes to various other beaches. We took the car ferry a couple times to St. John and that is super close as well. We met lots of nice people in the same complex. The pool is right outside the condo and watching the sunrises every morning was a treat. We stayed with our son who slept on the pullout and we were all comfortable.

Hearing the waves crash along the shore day and night was magical. The views through the waving palms are even better than the pictures. We saw the cruise ship arrive and depart from the pier. I snorkeled just about every afternoon/evening directly out from the condo, and it was exceptional - saw a sea turtle, moray eel, and tarpon, to name a few! Joy’s spot is perfectly situated. Once you arrive you definitely won’t want to leave!

Elizabeth's place had everything we needed for our stay in St. Croix. The place is situated in a quiet area in a seaside location. The kitchen is well stocked with all your needs. Would definitely recommend staying at Elizabeth's place.

This was my second stay at Mary’s at Sapphire Beach. The location is great. The view is amazing. The beach is clean and well maintained. The balcony is my favorite part. I could sit out there for hours.

Couldn’t have asked for a better stay! The location was PERFECT. The condo was clean and equipped with everything that we needed. The welcome packet that Mike provided was extremely helpful! We will definitely be back!
