FABULOUS! So close you can taste the ocean - Amazing NEWLY RENOVATED condo !

Welcome to our FANTASTIC 2 bedroom - 2 bathroom oceanfront condo at Watergate Villas, Bolongo Bay, St. Thomas. When it comes to your vacation, as they say in real estate, it's location, location, location! As you can see from our pictures, this unit's prime location is almost like being on the balcony of a cruise ship. You are so close to the ocean you can toss a coconut from the balcony and hit the water. Take a look at the fabulous view from our patio. You will hear the waves every minute of every day. Our building's location directly adjacent to the pool deck is PERFECT for families with kids that like to spend LOTS of time at the pool. We are so close that our Wi Fi even works on the pool deck.

You will love the convenience of our fully appointed kitchen if you like to make some of your own meals. For eating out, the island has countless restaurant options just a short drive away, but there are also 3 convenient oceanfront restaurants that are a short walk just down the beach. Mim's Seaside Bistro is located on the property and is more of an upscale dining experience open just for dinner. IGGIE'S beach bar is just 100 yards down the beach and every night they are sure to please with various live entertainment. You will also find The Lobster Grill, a little further down at Bolongo Beach Resort. I personally love going there for breakfast always a table oceanside. Also located at the resort are a PADI certified dive shop, water sports rentals, spa services and daily catamaran tours. Bolongo Bay has fantastic snorkeling right here without having to travel anywhere.

The condo in total is roughly 1100 square feet and has a great layout with each bedroom having its own full bathroom with upgraded shower heads and great water pressure. The second bathroom can be utilized without having to go through the bedroom, which is a great privacy feature. Both bedrooms have A/C units with the living area having one as well. We have a high quality queen size Aerobed that can be set up in the living room to accommodate an additional 2 guests as needed, for a total of 6 guests total. The main living area, kitchen and master bedroom all have gorgeous views of the pool deck and ocean. Sitting on the huge patio listening to the waves just never gets old. Since the patio faces southeast, it gets shade at noon, so it is ideal temperature all afternoon long. The choices for nightlife on the island are many, but if you prefer staying in to rest a while we have a new 49” Smart TV which can also stream movies and shows with any subscriptions you may have. We have an active Netflix and Amazon Prime account to entertain you at the condo for those lazy nights in.

Our front door is very convenient in proximity to the parking area and the laundry room is very close to your unit as well.

Our unit is one of the most nicely appointed you will find in all of the Caribbean. We take great pride on having top quality mattresses and linens, ensuring a great NIGHT of rest, for the best vacation DAYS. We provide beach towels, beach chairs, snorkel equipment, beach toys, coolers, Bluetooth radio and much more. Most everything has been just newly replaced so it is all in great condition. This is our vacation home and we like things right. We spend 5-8 weeks per year here ourselves.

The condo's location on the island is ideal. You will be less than a 15 minute drive from both of the primary towns on the island. Charlotte Amalie offers up a generous amount of culture with its abundance of historical buildings, shopping, restaurants and nightlife. Whatever it is you are looking for, you are sure to find it in Charlotte Amalie.

The lively yachting hub of Red Hook is just a 10 minute drive east. This quaint little town will make you want visit the island again and again. You will find both locals and tourists enjoying everything from a great cocktail to a café latte. Red Hook is also the best place to take the ferry to St. John and the British Virgin Islands, which are just FABULOUS!

I have so much more to tell you and would love the chance to speak more in depth about the many places I haven't mentioned. Please feel free to call me anytime, I am here to help you the best I can.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned condo, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. A Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a safe and a microwave.

We had such a blast! Everything was just perfect! Great communication with Mike, our host, who sent us ahead of time a wealth of information about the property and the VI. It made a huge difference to prepare for our trip and choose activities once there. The condo was a dream and we immediately felt at home. Having breakfast looking at the colors of the sea and enjoying the breeze was a blast! The condo is conveniently located bringing most activities to a short driving distance. Last but not least, we highly enjoyed the pool and minutes walking distance to the beach, not the mention a very good restaurant on the property. We definitely will come back and recommend Mike's condo.

Just what I wanted
The Condo is in a nice central location and is a great value. It had everything I needed and the owner provided lots of information. It is waterfront, so you get to listen to the surf and have a nice constant breeze. I hope to return!

Great birthday getaway
I would absolutely stay here again. Mike is the absolute best host I've had. He answered all my questions before we arrived and made sure we were set up for a great vacation. The condo is in close proximity to everything we wanted to do. Mike provided a comprehensive list prior to arrival and was always available if I needed to reach him. I wish we could have stayed longer but there's always next time.

Perfect and Comfortable
After a long day of flying, it was nice to walk into a clean condo and to be welcomed by cold waters in the fridge, a few snacks, and a bottle of rum-a very nice touch! The property is the perfect location, and the condo was very comfortable. We were able to sleep with the windows open and listen to the waves-so relaxing and enjoyed coffee every morning on the deck. This is my 3rd rental in the past 3 years in Bolongo, and by far, Mike the host was the most communicative! He was incredibly responsive, helpful and so nice! There is no question where I would stay again next time!

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The place was awesome and in a great location. The host was very helpful with all our needs. We highly recommend this spot in St Thomas and this property. All around one of the best trips I’ve ever had! Largely due to this property and the host. Thanks again!

Weekend stay
We were happy to find a place like this, since we know many places you need to book a minimum of so many nights. This was a great place for us and accommodated all our needs. The views are spectacular from the balcony, the pool was relaxing and having two restaurants on property were perfect for us.

Great for Business
Great place. Quiet area, on ground restaurant, halfway between town and Red-Hook, groceries 10 minutes away... Plenty of room for two on business, wifi connection is great, used laptop indoor/outdoor, phone - AT&T worked very well. Having a kitchen saved time and money rather than having to leave - go to a restaurant and back. Would certainly stay there again.
