Waters Edge Villa on beautiful Cowpet Bay, St. Thomas, USVI

This is truly an amazing place to stay.You cannot beat the location.The porch is right over the water which was perfect for gorgeous morning sunrises with coffee and a beautiful great egret who was on the beach below each day.Cowpet Bay has surprisingly great snorkeling (under the east side units), with a nice reef and the biggest octopus I have seen in 20 years of snorkeling. The beach is lovely and peaceful with plenty of chairs for everyone. The unit has everything you might need including beach towels, bags, etc. The kitchen is great with nice appliances and is well stocked including coffee grinder and blender. There are 2 great restaurants on the property, Caribbean Fish Market and Sangria's, and Red Hook is not far with more great choices. You are within a few minutes of the Red Hook ferry to go to St. John. While staying at Cowpet Bay West, you have access to the Elysian resort, including the pool and hot tub (there is also beach bar), but note that the Elysian no longer has a gym if that is important to you. However, the property is hilly with lots of stairs that can give you a good workout! You can also walk right up the hill to the Ritz Carlton where we were told you can get a day pass to the gym. There is also public access to the beach there, it is gorgeous and worth the walk over. Bring mineral sunscreen (reef safe) with you, and bring bug spray. Overall, I highly recommend this property. Thank you Bill and Lorraine.

The condo is beautiful and well stocked. The view is so pretty and we loved sitting out on the balcony overlooking the beach and water. The condo was very clean and had nice linens and great storage for our clothes. Newer kitchen and bathrooms and porch furniture.The 2 restaurants are both great and easy to walk to as is the pool and beach. There are some stairs to get to the water. This condo even had cable tv which was a bonus! The owners are easy to communicate with and we loved our visit!

We had never stayed in the Caribbean and did a couple weeks of research to find the perfect place for our family with a teen. Priorities were affordability, cleanliness, safety, and a beachfront gorgeous view in an area with several eat-out options, nice sandy beach with shade trees, and clear calm water for swimming. We nailed it!! This spot was exactly as advertised with a view that’s hard to beat, relaxing beach and pool areas, and many nearby eating options on the property and around the corner in Red Hook and Secret Bay. The condo was a perfect home base for all of our adventures and was fully stocked and well cared for. We hope to visit again before too long!

My brother and I spent about a week in the USVI and used this condo as home base. This condo is right on the beach with beautiful views. Each morning while having coffee and breakfast on the balcony, we would watch great herons (white and blue) fishing for their breakfast. We also enjoyed all the boats coming and going in the bay. The condo was very clean and well appointed. There were basic grocery items left that were useful. We made sure to leave the usable leftovers from our groceries for the next guest as well. The onsite restaurant was nice, but make sure to make a reservation. The diving along the left side of the bay was fun. Great place to be for a week. Second time renting from this host, and hope to repeat again soon. Great condo!
