About this villa rental

The Edge of Paradise is a true gem and a one of a kind tropical getaway villa. Nestled on the edge of world-renown Magen’s Bay in St. Thomas, it is a unique combination of charm, luxury and privacy. The seclusiveness and natural beauty of this property are what make it so extraordinary. The property includes approximately five-hundred feet of prime ocean frontage and its own beach, just a walk down the steps. Our villa looks over a pristine coral reef that flourishes in these crystal clear Caribbean waters, teeming with life. There are very few rental homes in all of the Virgin Islands that can compare to our property as a charming and luxurious tropical retreat, with its own secluded beach and reef. As such, it is a very special place for families to unwind and share a memorable vacation.

Our views of the stunning waters of Magen’s Bay are truly exceptional. Magen’s Bay is a treasured Virgin Island nature preserve and, as such, has no hotels nearby and very limited residential development on its shores, particularly its western shore. Magen’s Bay Beach is a magnificent natural landmark that stretches for over a mile along the south end of the bay, renown for its white sand and turquoise waters. Behind the beach stands a tropical forest, which gradually rises up a mountain, filled with lush vegetation and fascinating wildlife. This beach was recognized as one of the top ten beaches in the entire world by National Geographic.

The Edge of Paradise sits on the west side of the bay. Our villa is the most proximate residence to Magen’s Bay Beach on the western shore, just a short kayak paddle away. Yet, because a dense tropical forest and a rugged rocky shoreline span between our villa and that beach, we are exquisitely secluded. This is just one reason why we believe our location is ideal. In addition, we appreciate that the waters of the bay are calmer and more protected than any others on the Island. This tends to make the water clearer and safer for swimming and snorkeling, especially important when kids are involved. Thirdly, we cherish the beautiful coral reef that thrives along the western side of the bay. This reef is quite isolated and not readily accessible to beach tourists, and so it remains pristine. No other reef exists in the bay; the rest of the bay is predominantly sandy. It is quite uncommon to have a secluded spot where adults and kids can wade out into an ocean that has a colorful and fascinating reef right there to explore, in clear Caribbean waters that deepen very gradually .

Beautiful doesn’t begin to cover it. Truly a slice of paradise. For the first time ever- The reality was actually BETTER than the pictures. It was so beautiful, the pictures we looked at while deciding where to stay couldn’t do it justice. Greg and Julia were Great! Flexible, helpful, and knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to be in the Virgin Islands for 2 weeks and we stayed in several places before spending the last week at Greg’s beautiful property. The difference in attitude was like night and day. Which really had a positive impact on the entire situation. It didn’t hurt that staying at Greg’s was like having an entire resort to ourselves. Literally everything you could want. Not only does the house have 3 floors with spacious rooms and long balconies on every floor- but there was also a quaint 1 bedroom cottage by the pool-not far from the house. With a large bed and full bathroom included! Full outdoor set up with a pool, grill, long table and chairs, beautiful gardens/ landscaping etc - plus there was even a pizza oven and 2 hammocks. Beautiful ocean views literally everywhere from the house to Magens bay. Then on the last side of the house is a rain forest type environment with a pathway and stone steps that lead down to a balcony with more beautiful views. From there- You can continue down to your own private beach! With your own Kayaks! I really can’t say enough about what a wonderful experience this was. You’d really have to see for yourself.

A great house, wonderful location above Magen’s Bay perfect for our family, you definitely need a 4WD Jeep to navigate the road there. Greg the owner was very helpful and suggested some super places to visit. Almost private beach and kayaks provided for the paddle to Magen’s Beach.

This is a beautiful home on the south side of Megan's Bay. We were a family of 4 - - it could comfortably fit 12. Part of the fun is the road in - - but you must rent a jeep. We do not recommend if you want to be close to town. For us the seclusion was a plus.
