De 'Cottage' bij Lion's Gate - Spectaculair uitzicht in een weelderige omgeving

Mijn man Chris en ik heb geleefd op St. Thomas al meer dan 20 jaar. Hij kwam om te duiken, ik kwam te varen. We ontmoetten bij toeval ontdekt en we hebben allebei een liefde voor het water en de Caribische levensstijl. Chris is zeer getalenteerd en wist dat hij hier wilde permanetley wonen, dus bouwde hij een huis op de top van de heuvel. We zijn getrouwd in 1995, en vaak gesproken over het maken van het huis dat we graag toegankelijk voor gasten. In 2008 breidde we om gasten in onze beneden studio. We zijn blij met de manier waarop het bleek als het vangt de Caribische levensstijl die we liefhebben.

Het appartement is zo populair dat we besloten om een ​​een slaapkamer huisje te bouwen. Het duurde een jaar en ik ben zo blij om te zeggen dat we het eindelijk klaar is op 4 juli. Independence Day heeft een nieuwe betekenis. Het is een Caribische droom huisje met een spectaculair uitzicht. We vergapen aan hoeveel kolibries noemen het appartement huis en nu lijkt het erop dat de groene papegaaien hebben op het leven in de bomen in de buurt van het huisje.

Ik ben er zeker van zal het ook houden. De ruime veranda is een perfecte manier om te genieten van uw eerste kopje koffie of om terug in de avond zitten en kijken naar de kleuren veranderen in de loop van de eilanden met een koel drankje in je hand. De passaatwinden zal je koel te houden als u buiten zitten, van ontbijt tot diner, en natuurlijk indien nodig er is airconditioning.

Mijn man, Chris, en ik woon op het terrein. Wij helpen u genieten van uw vakantie op welke manier we kunnen. Gewoon vragen voor de lokale tips voor restaurants en activiteiten.

Loved the views. It was right on the harbor so was noisy early mornings. The driveyway was steep but we were warned about this. Parking was limited but also warned. Hostess had everything we needed for the beach which was a great surprise!

Perfection. Charming Caribbean cottage. High on a hill with unmatched views of the harbor and surrounding islands. Tradewinds that cool the warm temperatures. Cottage has many unique features including handcrafted furniture and mahogany woodwork. Hosts that are warm, welcoming and helpful. Treat it well. We will be back next year. Tom and Carolee, 2024

Beautiful view!

The view was spectacular as advertised. The cottage was clean and Maxine was a very responsive host. If you decide to stay here keep in mind that, as described in the posting, you have to drive up a steep road which can be a bit unnerving. I walk a lot and I love to do steps and hills, but the walk up from Red Hook is not something most people will want to do. My husband got to the top and said "no way am I walking up". I wouldn't consider this a walkable location. There were parts of the unit we really enjoyed: the view, the huge shower, the use of the coolers and beach chairs. The things we were less excited about included: kitchen wasn't very well equipped compared to places I would rate 5 stars, the furniture wasn't very comfortable and the unit could use some updates, for example, most rentals have upgraded to kurig coffee makers. Also, keep in mind that this is directly above Red Hook and the noise from the road and the bars carries up the hill.

Simply lovely

This was my first to the USVI, and I’m so glad I found this place. It was perfect for a solo traveler like me and would be great for a couple (and a child could sleep on the futon in the living area.) I felt safe with Max & Chris there and the fact that it is gated is a plus. Of course Louis (the sweet dog) was an added bonus (and there a gate on the porch if you’re not up for his visits.) Speaking of the porch, the view is superb. When I was at the apartment, I spent nearly all of my time on the porch unless I was sleeping. Max & Chris are great. They were always available to answer a question or provide assistance. And they’re nice! I could not have asked for better hosts. I ate at several good restaurants in Red Hook (Urban XO, Agave), which is walkable but recommend getting a (small) car so you can more easily explore the nearby bays/beaches and other restaurants. In short, definitely recommend and hope to make it back for another amazing holiday.

Great view but have a rental car!

Beautiful view to wake up to everyday, having a morning coffee on the balcony and seeing the sunrise every morning was awesome. Listen to their recommendation they give in the listing when they say to have a car. Absolutely have a rental car to stay here. We were two in shape young adults and it was brutal walking up the hill 2-3 times a day in the heat. The location is great though for red hook restaurants and bars. Catamaran dock ports and scuba diving right there. You need a cab to get to any beach but they aren’t far at all! Fav one was secret harbor beach. Definitely check out duffys love shack down the hill- super fun place.

Lovely guest house with incredible views!

We had a wonderful stay at the Cottage! The #1 reason we picked this place was the views and they did not disappoint! The host was friendly and easy to communicate with via text or through the app. They live next door. Pros: The views and the sunrise are incredible! Walking distance to Duffy's Love Shack, a great little Tiki bar with $5 happy hour cocktails Short drive to Secret Harbor beach resort where there is a beach with great snorkeling The host provided beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, and snorkeling equipment The host provided plenty of drinking water The host is easy to get in contact with Cons: There is only Air conditioning in the bedroom and if you leave it on when you're not home it's a $25 charge. It will be hot and humid until you run the AC for a bit The tap water in St Thomas tastes weird so the shower water also smells a little weird. Maybe it's like that everywhere? The bath towels also smelled a little weird but not enough that we asked for a replacement. Hiking back up the hill from the tiki bar to the cottage is a workout. It's ok at night but when the sun is out it's pretty brutal. There is a designated place to park but getting in and out is a little tight. We rented a Toyota Camry and it fit but it definitely struged on some of the steep hills

My partner and I took a vacation to the Virgin Islands for the first time in August. We chose to stay in Redhook because it was near many beaches, restaurants and shops. The cottage was a cozy and comfortable place and our view was astonishing! We couldn’t get enough of it, and the place was well kept and it offered many amenities that it made our stay extremely convenient. Thank you Maxine, Chris and louie for your hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to one day return to this amazing place 💗

Beautiful views and great location

Wonderful stand alone cottage with great front porch to take in the views of Red Hook harbor and St John. Location is great for taking advantage of local beaches. It was 20 minutes to Magens bay which was our favorite, Cottage is close to the town of Red Hook which has the best selection of stores, restaurants and Happy Hours!! Hosts are on site and very responsive when we needed anything. Yet you have absolute privacy. They also gave us great tips for things to do. The road up to the cottage is steep and windy ( like many of the roads on St Thomas) so make sure you rent a car that can handle it. We had a Jeep.

Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!!

After reading so many wonderful reviews, we knew that we wanted to stay here! Maxine and her husband Chris are THE nicest people and helpful with any questions we had about places to go on the island. The cottage was as beautiful as the pictures show and the view was the best part!! The driveway is steep but we had a compact car that was perfect to get us up and down the hill and to cruise around the island. Maghan's Bay and Sapphire Beach were our favorites beaches in St. Thomas. Per Maxine's recommendation, we LOVED the patio at Sunset Grill and the bars in Red Hook (just down the hill from the cottage). We took the car ferry one day to St. John and loved that we could drive wherever we wanted. We also spent another day at St. John without the car and everything was within walking distance or a quick shuttle ride. We just got home and already miss the cottage and Louie the sweet dog that would stop by to say hi. Anyway, you should stay here and you will not regret it! We hope to go back someday!!!

Best Vacation Ever, I told Lisa (my girlfriend) this vacation experience will be hard to top! We stayed for almost 2 weeks and the cottage was perfect for us, and we will be staying again. It felt like home, or at least the home we want :) . We ate most of our breakfasts and dinners at the cottage since no restaurant could provide us a better atmosphere or view than the one from our cottage. The kitchen had everything we needed. This felt more like local living and less like being a tourist. We rented a car, but used it rarely since it is so convenient to walk to Red Hook or to the ferry to St John. The driveway is steep and you can’t get up it when it’s wet, unless you have a 4 wheel drive, which we didn’t. It only impacted us on the first day. Maxine kindly drove us up with our luggage and groceries. There are parking spots at the end of the driveway if it is slippery. There was plenty of room to park 3 SUVs at the top of the driveway, and easy to do a 2-4 pt turn to face forward going down hill. Walking up/down the hill to Red Hook may be a challenge for some, so consider getting a rental/taxi. However for those in average or better shape, it’s doable (I did some sprint intervals on it…humble brag :) We enjoyed the visits from Louie their dog, Oscar the gecko, a frog, a humming bird, and a couple iguanas even ran across the driveway. Some reviews mentioned the noise from the town, but we enjoyed seeing and hearing the sounds of activity and life going on. It’s

Wickedly steep hill = amazing views

We loved our stay in this beautiful cottage on a hill overlooking Red Hook. The view was absolutely breathtaking and so peaceful. As we did not rent a vehicle, it was nice being able to walk down the hill to Red Hook where there's a grocery store, several restaurants, some shopping, and the ferry to St. Johns. Walking up the hill can be brutal though (not the distance, just the incline) and we only ended up walking up once. But, again, Red Hook is a popular place, so snagging taxies outside Bernie's to take us up was pretty easy. You could hear the town from time to time, but we didn't find it excessive. In fact, except for at night, we pretty much left all the doors and windows open. The weather was perfect. The owners Maxine & Chris were very accommodating and helpful. Would definitely return to the Cottage if visiting St. Thomas again. Thank you for offering this lovely place.

Absolutely perfect!

The house is lovely and well appointed. Everything we needed in the kitchen to have coffee and make breakfast right there. The view is amazing! Wrap around covered porch allowed us to enjoy the outside even when we had a bit of rain. Very comfortable. Maxine and Chris are gracious hosts and Louie visited regularly lol. You can close the gate if you’d prefer to not have visits from Louie. The walk up and down the hill was very doable for us. We are fairly active but not young. If you’d prefer not to walk it, a taxi will gladly take you up for $5 pp (feb 2022). We will definitely book with them again when we return to St Thomas and recommend to all of our family and friends!

Beautiful, Serene and Cozy

The cottage has amazing views that span over Red Hook towards St. John and across the island. The cottage was very snug, has a cistern that collects rainwater and filters in for clean water and showers. The porch had an almost 180 degree view of the sea, with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The shower is open and is perfect for cleaning off the day's salt and humidity. We felt safe, comfortable and had everything we needed to either eat in, watch TV, play games or just relax. For the more adventurous, like us, we left our car and walked from the home down to Red Hook main strip, where we were able to enjoy wonderful meals and drinks. You won't be disappointed staying here.

Stay Here!

Our stay at the cottage was wonderful, and I am so glad we choose this place to stay for the second half of the honeymoon. It was a such a change of pace to be up amongst the trees with amazing views. The location was great being so close to town, however, I HIGHLY recommend a car while staying here. Is the walk back up the hill feasible? Yes, of course. But is it something I'd want to do? No way. My husband and I are both active people that go hiking quite often, but the thought of walking back up after dinner and some drinks, or a long day of hiking and exploring elsewhere, is not something we even entertained doing! That would be our biggest negative about the house, but something that is easily overcome! We were so glad to have the coolers and beach towels to use, and everything we could have needed during our stay was already at the cottage. We loved coming back after our day out and relaxing out on the porch, and especially loved when Louie would visit us!
