From the moment you arrive, there's a sense that time slows down here—that this is a place meant for unwinding, for reconnecting, and for savoring the beauty of simple, soulful island living. The villa is rich in classic Caribbean architecture, with warm terra cotta tiles underfoot, arched doorways that catch the golden light, and shuttered windows that usher in soft breezes from the sea. Rattan and wicker furnishings, hand-carved wood pieces, and soft island hues create an atmosphere that's both nostalgic and inviting—echoing the grace and warmth of a classic era. From morning coffee to sunset cocktails, the panoramic views are simply mesmerizing—watch from the open-air verandas as sailboats drift into the harbor, cruise ships light up the evening horizon, and tropical palms sway gently against an endless blue backdrop. A private pool terrace is tucked among lush greenery, offering a peaceful escape with stunning views. While Southwind Villa feels like a retreat from the modern world, its comforts are anything but old-fashioned. Thoughtfully updated, the home includes high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, air conditioning, and a fully equipped kitchen—all seamlessly integrated so that the charm of the villa remains untouched. Whether you're streaming a favorite shows after a beach day or catching up on a bit of work from the antique writing desk, you can stay as connected—or as blissfully unplugged—as you choose. Southwind Villa is perfectly located just minutes from the shops, restaurants, and historic charm of downtown Charlotte Amalie, and a short drive from some of St. Thomas's most pristine beaches. But once you've settled into the rhythm of this home—its breezy verandas, soul-soothing views, and timeless spirit—you may find little reason to leave. Come and experience the Caribbean and Old West Indies charm the way it was meant to be— warm, welcoming, unhurried, and unforgettable. \*\*Confirmed guests will be required to sign a guest license/rental agreement and may be required to keep a credit card on file for incidentals\*\* Have questions?

Pat was amazing and simply went above and beyond in preparing us for our visit. We were a sizable group and felt the space met our needs perfectly. We had enough room to congregate and to spread out when needed. The location of the home was spectacular and the views were breathtaking. We felt the pride of ownership throughout the home and no details were spared in ensuring a wonderful vacation. The home was very clean, well kept, the beds comfortable and the grounds were lush and private. Thanks to Pat and his team, this will go down as one of our most relaxing and memorable vacations!

Pat sent us interesting facts about St Thomas all week. He was also most helpful with the planning process. We greatly appreciated it. Can’t wait to come back it was so wonderful! ##### Pennie Z.

This was our second stay at Southwind and will not be our last!!! I’ve stayed in countless rental homes and by far, this surpasses them all. Location, view, customer service, cleanliness...all those things that are important to you when vacationing, this has it all! Many thanks to Pat and Sallie, owners who did everything possible to assure our stay was unforgettable. They provided excellent recommendations for fabulous restaurants, private drivers and the best place to purchase groceries. The view from the house is absolutely mesmerizing!!...the calming sound of the cool island breeze as it whirled through the palm trees is a sweet memory I will never forget. It gave my husband and I such joy to share this special place with others we care about. Once you arrive if all you do is sit on the veranda, and soak in the expansive view, you will not regret leaving....except when it’s time to go back home. Don’t hesitate, book now!!! ##### Kelly E. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica C. 13 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfectly beautiful villa, want to go back! This villa was amazingly perfect. We have a group of 6 people, 3 couples, and the layout could not have been better. Three of the bedrooms had en-suites and were somewhat separate from the main house. So everyone had some privacy. There was a fourth king bed that shared a bathroom with the “kids room” in the main house. These rooms were also away from the main hang out areas so still had privacy. On to the the best part of the house, the view. The view is phenomenal. Pretty sure everyone in our group commented at least daily about being blown away with the house. Nothing beats having morning coffee looking out over the bay. The view is amazing but means the house is very high up the mountain. You absolutely will need a car or work with a driver. Other than Sibs on the Mountain there is nothing that you can walk to. The roads don’t even have a shoulder that would make it marginally safe to walk. We’re an active group and typically would get up to run or bike in the morning but that was not a possibility. Bummer but that’s island life and didn’t detract from our love of this house. This house really was perfect and we’ve already started to think about when we can make it back. Just perfect for relaxing and hanging out with friends or family. If you’re questioning whether to book this place, just stop and do it! This house will make your vacation. ##### Jessica C. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brittani M. 15 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 1000% recommend The Good: 1. We could stay here all over again, and again, and again. We spent half our time in this vrbo and the other half the time in margaritaville. Everyone wishes we had more time at this vrbo. 2. Communication was amazing. Pat answered my messages within minutes. There is also a property manager who walks you around the facility when you arrive and gives you information and helpful tips about the facility. It was definitely helpful. 3. It has THE best views of the whole island. The view of this vrbo was like looking at a postcard or a hand painting. It was unbelievable. 4. House was very clean, and everything we needed was there. 5. There is a little restaurant/bar, called Sibs, within walking distance of the vrbo with some of the best food and drinks we had during our whole stay. (They also have iced coffee) 6. Location was nice. It didn't take us too long to get anywhere on the island. 7. The pool was HUGE! We had so much fun. The pictures don't even do it justice. 8. The layout of the whole vrbo was exactly what we needed. All the rooms are separated on the property so everyone had their own privacy. 9. The owner will send you a very helpful booklet for your stay. It helps you to choose good excursions and the best places to buy food and stuff. 10. The Air-conditioning worked very well. As long as you keep the doors shut it will get very cool in your room. The bad: We had a noise complaint. It's in the rules and not the owners fault. He was very understanding when he got the call. Just be careful because they will call the owner even before the 9pm "quiet time". Definitely not a deal breaker, because we would do it all over again. And next time we come to st thomas we will be looking into staying here again, we will just watch out noise level a little better. ##### Brittani M.

The location is great, the views are spectacular and the pool is fabulous. The house is sprawling and spacious, so our group of 8 had lots of room to spread out. We spent a lot of time on the covered open-air veranda/porch, which was great during the heat of the day. We did need to call the property managers regarding a few items, but the issues were addressed within a reasonable time. Overall, this place is quite lovely and comfortable .... I really hated to leave. ##### Carol D.

This place is great for groups of friends or large families. Everyone has their own space with extra living rooms, private baths and just extra space. The house and grounds just need a little TLC and this place would be a great 5 star. We had some light bulb issue not working around the pool, in the pool and around the grounds outside the house. The kitchen and dining area was great for those group stay home cookouts. Overall our group had a great stay and would stay there again in the future. Did I say the view was GREAT!!!! ##### Kenneth F.

It was very clean and we enjoyed our stay for the most part. The property is showing it’s age and is in need of some updates and maintenance. Some of the issues we encountered: refrigerator wasn’t as cold a it should be and needed a service call. Ice maker didn’t work. Water sputtered and splashed out of the faucets and occasionally had a brown tint. The house was supplied with a water cooler however, there was only 1 spare bottle and half in the cooler. Our group of 7 quickly depleted this and despite repeated requests to the property manager and multiple promises to restock, we never received it and had to buy our own drinking water. Of the 6 lounges around the pool, only 2 had cushions and both were stained and ripped. 2 of the toilets ran constantly and were reported but not repaired. Multiple signs around the house requested water conservation and repairing the toilets would be a great place to start. Again we enjoyed our stay but these issues, especially the lack of drinking water was detracted from the enjoyment of the property. ##### Frank D.

The house is quite large - when we come back, we'll be sure to bring additional friends / family. The house / location was as described. It had a beautiful view of the harbor and we were able to enjoy several breakfasts / dinners (and late night drinks) watching the cruise ships come in, etc. There is a wireless speaker system that allowed us to listen to music as well - a welcome surprise. The pool was spacious and overall, the house was clean. It was well-stocked with things like olive oil, etc., which we could have forgone when we went grocery shopping. The house is multiple levels, so if you have kids, just know that they might stay in different parts of the house. That said, there was enough room in the master suite and main house for our full family. The bedrooms have air conditioners that work very well and kept us cool, despite the warm temperatures. And the beach umbrella / chairs and ice chest came in very handy! The welcome guide that Pat and Sally provided was full of great information and tips - we used it extensively during our trip, including restaurant recommendations, beaches to see, etc. And their short history of the island / area was excellent! Jerscillia - the onsite property manager - was excellent. She met us at the house, gave us an overview and was generally available with questions via text / phone. The only challenge was finding the location - fortunately Jerscillia sent us directions via Apple maps (we had a rental car - a must to get around see the island). Our Google Maps didn't work as well, but once we pinned the location, it was easy getting around. We would highly recommend Southwind Villa for the reasons above. My greatest memory - in addition to hearing our children's fun / laughter at the pool - was the wonderful view of the island from above. You won't regret staying here!

We were a multi generational family with young children and the Villa had everything we needed to have a restful stay in St. Thomas. Pat was super accessible ahead of time and answered all our questions. The property manager was also so sweet and accommodating. The pictures of this place don’t do it justice. We were in awe of the views from every angle of the villa. Do yourself a favor and book this place. You won’t be disappointed. ##### Ambika S.

The pool wasn't clean . There was a lot of visible dust over doorways and mirrors . The floors were not clean and there was mold starting on bathroom ceilings. We also had a situation where some bathrooms had no toilet paper some had a 1/4 of a roll and no extra rolls anywhere . We called the manager early our first morning to ask for toilet paper and she didn't come with it until 7:00 PM . Otherwise the view was great . ##### Sheila & Norm B.

We had an amazing time. Everything about this trip was great. It was the trip of a lifetime. Our children had such a great time they can’t wait to come back. Thank you for a great villa and experience. ##### Stephanie R.

Stayed 14 nights in Jan 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### gabrielle s. 28 Jan 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Amazing View! The property as a whole is a beautiful space! Patrick was so friendly before we even arrived and helped us with any questions we had. He even recommended an amazing taxi service to drive us everywhere since we did not rent cars. As far as the house itself, when we arrived a few of the sheets were dirty but we just took it upon ourselves to wash them in the washer and dryer that’s provided. The biggest issue I think was the water pressure. The house sleeps 12 people, I traveled with 10 people and only one person could shower at a time and even then it was only minimal water pressure. We addressed this issue to the property manager and Patrick and they were quick to respond but it did not fix the issue, as they stated they probably need to get a whole new water pump. We also ran out of gas one morning and were not able to use the stove until someone came and replaced the tanks later that night. When these issues were brought up, I feel as though they were addressed but not completely fixed nor did they offer any accommodation for the inconveniences. Another thing to note is that the property is in a “quiet” neighborhood and we did get some noise complaints around 7pm on our first night there. There is “quiet hours” after 9pm which we were aware of but the neighbors started to complain well before then so keep that in mind! On a positive note: the house was huge and the view was simply amazing! All issues aside, I’d definitely recommend staying here with your family! ##### gabrielle s.

It's absolutely amazing. We loved watching yachts, sea planes, and cruise ships come in and out of the various harbors and drinking rum punch while watching the sun set each night. The pool was clean and refreshing. Our teens loved having their own little suites complete with sitting rooms with televisions and excellent internet. The owners kept us up-to-date throughout the year on activities, COVID protocols, etc. and we felt very well informed. All in all we had a fabulous stay at this home. ##### Anne K.
