Wonderful Condo

The condo was the perfect size for my husband and I. The ocean is right in front of the condo and a short walk to the beach and pool! Thank you - we had an enjoyable stay!

We had an amazing stay in this beautiful property. Mike was a magnificent host and answered any questions we had and also provided much information on the island, from things to do, to places to eat and shop. We enjoyed our stay so much that we extended our stay 3 more nights at another property of his, which was equally as wonderful. If you want a little piece of heaven on the island, I highly suggest this place. Another highlight was Mim's was directly under this building and serves the best meals we found on the island.

Excellent week-long getaway

My wife and I enjoyed the condo that we stayed at. It had a great view of the bay, with plenty of cross-flow breeze, through the condo, with the doors & windows open. Who needs AC when you have this?! And mornings, out on the patio, brought some of the best views because of its an easterly orientation.

Wonderful Stay!

We loved our stay! The Villa was clean, well equipped, comfortable and the balcony was so wonderful, right next to the water. Listening to the waves and looking at the beautiful view was so peaceful. Mike, the owner, was great to work with and very helpful. We hope to return some day soon!

Wonderful oceanfront condo

My husband and I loved our stay at mikes condo. He had everything we needed to make it an enjoyable stay. The view from the lanai is wonderful. We loved having the iguanas greet us every morning and evening. We didn’t feed them, but they were definitely hoping we did. The beach amenities ( cooler, chairs and umbrella) made the stay even better. Mike provides a very detailed welcome package with awesome suggestions. Mike is a super host and we would definitely stay there again. Suggested to Mike to have add a drying rack and possibly room darkening curtain for the windows by the door, but otherwise that’s it. Perfect condo for your island adventures.

A must stay!!!Cute, clean, properly stocked place to stay. The BEST restaurant on the property (Mims). Another more causal restaurant within walking distance that has live music bands from 6 to 9. Did I say it sits on the water facing the bay? Everything you ever need is within a short driving distance. Red hook ferry is a few miles away. When you book this wait to hear from "Mike" he will let you know the best rental cars and best excursions to book. Mike helped us book Ocean Surfari -snorkeling. We booked Bad Kitty with Calypso. MUST DO's! Mike will send you a guide that makes your trip wonderful! Did I say this was the best place and best trip ever!!!

Great visit!

Our host, Mike was terrific! He gave us lots of information ahead of our stay and we knew he was available if needed to address any concerns (& we never had any concerns). The place was modest, comfortable and clean with accurate photos and description in listing. The apartment colors/ decor fit nicely in the peaceful setting- the view from the deck - gorgeous! We loved our morning coffee & evenings under the stars. The bed was comfortable (we slept great) and the bathroom had a large tiled walk-in shower and fluffy big towels. The kitchen had all of our "essentials" and it was an easy walk to Mims Seafood Restaurant and Iggies (we had dinner at both). We snorkeled everyday at different beaches - often swimming with friendly turtles! (Nice beach accessories in large walk -in closet). We really enjoyed our stay. The only note I'd add is that for anyone who is older, or who has knee issues, the unit is on the lower level - a couple flights down stairs. Thanks, Mike!

Wonderful place to stay.

This property is exactly what is indicated by the pictures. The location is great. Bolongo Bay is a quiet and relaxing place to spend the day. There are a couple restaurants near bye with bars. It is also very convenient to catch a cab either at the street (about a 10 min walk) or within the complex. Taxi Rides to Redhook or to Charolette Amalie from the complex are about 20 or 30 bucks for two. The room was very clean and has all the amenities as listed. The host (Mike) is very responsive and helpful as well. Over all our stay was a very positive experience and we would be quick to do it again.

Great property

We had a great time staying in our Villa! Perfectly located between Red Hook & Charlotte Amelie. The Owner Mike was very responsive and helped with any questions we had during our stay. Any issues we had that came up were quickly addressed even though he wasn't there with us. Beautiful views, great location! Couldn't ask for more!

5 star oceanfront stay

Beautiful condo and view! Loved having kitchen amenities to cook a meal or two, and walking distance to a nice restaurant. The condo was very clean and balcony was lovely to enjoy coffee and waterfront views. Host was very communicative and made things easy. His recommendations were great and we will be back!

AMAZING stay with an AMAZING view!

The condo is better than the listing could show! Pictures don’t do the view from the balcony any justice. Mike, the owner was the best. Contacted us within minutes of booking and made this trip amazing with his great advice from his own written guide. We had a group of 20 other friends staying in various parts of St Thomas, and they were ALL jealous of our condo, beach and view. We even paid less then them! They took copies of Mike’s guide to find the best beach locations. It was truly the best experience, and we will be back with the rest of the family in one of Mike’s bigger Condos on the same bay.

Wonderful vacation!

Our stay at Mike’s condo was amazing. The studio is up to date and spotless. Stocked with everything you may need for dishes to beach items. From the beginning to end of the vacation, Mike was available for any questions. Communication was extremely easy. This condo is directly on the beach so even at night you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful Stay

The pictures and description are 100% accurate. Beautiful view and the best thing about the property is Mike and all the accessories he leaves in the house. We went to St John's twice (loved it) with our car and could take everything from chairs, umbrella, cooler, scubing gear with us. That alone every day saves you a ton if money and hassle. Mike is a great guy and prepared a long brochure about everything you need to do about the islands. My only no positive comment is that I generally like thin pillows and a finer mattrese but it was absolutely fine and the unit is so incredibly furnished with everything . Note you have any type of internet tv access including netflicks and amazon but no cable tv . Overall highly recommened, perfect location and great value for the money..

Nice Place, Great Location & Responsive Owner

Very nice clean condo unit with all needed appliances and beach amenities to have a fun stay in St. Thomas. The owner provided a nice packet on what to do and see in St. Thomas. The owner is extremely responsive and genuinely seemed interested in making sure we had a good time. The condo's Bolongo Bay location is centrally located within a 20 to 30 minute drive of most must see/do spots in St. Thomas. I would have given this a 4.5 stars if I could but felt I couldn't give a full 5 stars because the condo complex is in a bit of a state of flux due to construction on a couple of buildings and also on the beach-front in front of the pool. Also, a lot of the pool beach chairs by the pool were in bad shape. Overall, had a great time and would consider coming back after the construction is completed.

Beautiful Bolongo Bay Rental next to the water

This clean, updated, and conveniently located rental was perfect for our trip to St. Thomas! Mike and Michelle provided so many extras (snorkel gear, beach chairs, high quality sheets and towels just to name a few) that made the condo an even better value and our trip so much more enjoyable. They also provided great instructions and tips on what to do and where to go on St. Thomas. We loved listening to the ocean right outside our door and the views were incredible! I would highly recommend renting from Mike and Michelle and we would definitely stay here again in the future!!

Amazing view and right on the ocean!

This newly renovated and decorated studio is the perfect setup for an amazing vacation! My boyfriend and I rented the apartment for my friend's wedding nearby at Iggie's and had no idea it would be so close and so easy to get to! It worked out perfect! This location is truly topnotch- great view, perfect ocean breeze, private, a few yards away from the pool, beach, and great restaurants!! Plus, the apartment had everything we could've needed in it from beach towels to snorkel equipment and even a blender for some tropical smoothies! Couldn't have been happier that we stayed here :)

Bolongo Bay Apartment with an Amazing View!

This cozy and newly updated studio apartment was exactly what me and my boyfriend needed for an amazing getaway. It had everything we needed and an amazing view from the back patio. The apartment is walking distance to the beach and close to a few bars and restaurants. Anytime we had any questions or needed help the owner got back to us right away. He also knows a lot about the area and had plenty of advice about things to do and see while we were in town. I would highly recommend staying here and will definitely be coming back and staying here again!
