Escape to Clifftop Apartment, a sun-filled island retreat on a clifftop overlooking the ocean. Enjoy mimosas on the balcony or through floor-to-ceiling windows with 180° views of the sea. This Pottery Barn-style apartment features Mexican tile floors, a state-of-the-art kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances, plus free Wi-Fi and SmartTV.
Discover your own island paradise in this sun-filled Pottery Barn-style island apartment on the top of St Thomas.
Sip mimosas on a balcony overlooking stunning 180° views of the Caribbean Sea over hills and palm trees, or enjoy the view through the floor-to ceiling windows across the entire apartment front. Designed for leaving open throughout the day, Clifftop’s (screened) glass front wall brings in the balmy breezes the island gets at this height 10 months of the year (our famous trade winds)!
This is an opportunity to enjoy island flavor in a gracious setting. It is comfortable for 2-4 guests, with 2 Queen bedrooms and a ‘Jack & Jill’ bathroom (ie, doors opening from each bedroom ;-). It is also pet-friendly for a nice, quiet pet (with approval and pet deposit).
Clifftop also includes free Wi-Fi, SmartTV, 24hr check-in, and free driveway parking. Cool-to-the feet Mexican tile leads you to a fully stocked kitchen and breakfast bar with rustic bar seats. Your dining table seats 4, overlooking the ocean below. Bedroom 1 has a partial ocean view and lovely breezes through a front window. Bedroom 2 is perfect for those who like to sleep in full dark!
The shared bathroom is small but charming, with Mexican tile and a candlelit travertine marble shower.
You’ll drive 5 minutes to any one of 3 beaches, or venture farther to the 28 other beaches that surround St Thomas! While it’s just .75 miles above the main road, Clifftop is in a quiet, remote-feeling area; our neighbors enjoy their peace and quiet, so is not suited for parties, loud music, or late-night returns from clubs followed by singing or dropping wine bottles off the balcony ;-) ! There is a shared outdoor laundry alcove (washer, dryer, industrial sink, detergent), outside the main house but available to both units. You will walk past windows, so Please be thoughtful and use after 10AM and before dark!
Getting Around: A car is required, as the house is high above the bustle of the main road and St Thomas's "safari bus route" (there is driveway parking). There are many rentals on island, but do confirm in advance, as car rentals sometimes suffer from our Caribbean island tempo! If you don’t want to drive, I can help you arrange a car and driver, but it must also be arranged in advance!

Barb was a great host & provided great communication prior to our trip. View from deck was absolutely beautiful & Barb gave directions that helped us arrive perfectly. House is within 20-25 minutes of all of the things to do do & see on St Thomas. Would definitely recommend this location.
Great location-a little difficult to find, but the host provided excellent directions. Very peaceful and the house was well stocked with everything you could need. Incredible views, too!
The cozy Clifftop Villa was the perfect spot for us to call home during our five week stay on St. Thomas. Barb was amazing. Very welcoming, helpful & responsive. Thank you Barb! We had an amazing time! Challenging road up and no AC were outweighed by awesome views, cool breezes, proximity to beaches & comfortable, charming Villa!! We hope to return sometime soon!

It was great that there are multiple windows which made the place airy and cool. And even better was the view!!! Absolutely amazing!! I wish I had brought my canvas and paint to capture the views. Also, it was quite the adventure to locate the residence but a worthwhile one. However, Barb was quite a help with that. If you can, wake up just before dawn breaks to greet a spectacular view.
Clean, well maintained, tricky to find. Suggest lowering the balcony railing so it doesn’t obscure the lovely view. Had to push back on effort by owner to show the place to prospective buyers during our rental period. Was successful and encountered no other problems with owner.
This was a beautiful place and Barb was a wonderful host. Everything was just as stated, all besides it not having A/C. I was aware of it not having A/C only from reading the reviews. It was a little rough getting used to it at first, but it finally cooled off enough to not worry about it too much. We stayed for 2 weeks, so there were days that we decided to stay in. On those days, we were unable to watch TV because there weren’t any blinds to block the light coming through the windows, which glared too much on the TV. I was, however, unaware that we would end up having to share the very small driveway with Barb’s vehicle for a portion of our stay. Which only inconvenienced us by having to walk a little further to the property.
Great place if you like peace and quiet. Make sure y make taxi or car service from the owner first before arriving. Its really a pain in the ass to find if someone going ther the first time.so get a good taxi guy who knows the way if the host barb is around she will drop y wherever y going on the way y on your own.other than that fully stacked kitch lots of tolet paper and paper towels.if y love to cook everything is clean .its really agreat lovers hideway nobody willbother y there.bring spending money for food and transportation or ycredit card stores are down the bottom of cliff.great place i wold visit again in the fall when its not so hot. No ac celining fans and floor fans keep y cool plus its brezyy upthere compare todown below .

Beautiful hott view
Its an absolutely beautiful view and the house was extremely nice. The second bedroom could use a softer mattress but thatis objective. Probably a cooling one since theres absolutely NO A.C. which i was under the impression it had it but the mountain would keep it cool in the evenings so you could open the windows. Catch an Island breeze yes its a breeze but a HOTT one lol. And tbh if she wanted to upcharge for a portable a.c. i would have definitely paid it lbvs.The apartment is adorable. But it could definitely use a deep clean. Spider webs all in the cupboards and your feet will turn dirty with no shoes on. And although it did not matter i feel like the AD should say that host lives onsight the apartment above. Yes that could be helpful but i was expecting more travelers like myself. Barb is very very sweet and helpful. The power cut off but we was gone anyways but she was ready to jump into action and get us lights and everything we needed. It is a very high mountain to get there so definitely rent a jeep or suv not a car. And a very experienced driver.By day 2 we didn't need GPS and yes she is very accurate in if you feel like you went to far keep driving. I lovd St. Thomas and i will definitely be returning in the future.
Have stayed at Clifftop Apt several times because everything has always been consistent! The host, Barb, is nice, attentive, responsive and helpful!!! The space is always clean, orderly and stocked with lots of extras!!! And the VIEW, peace & quiet are to die for...missing it already!!! Hope to see you again soon Barb!!!
This was a great space to stay. It was really nice to have views of the sunset and the beach. This place has all the amenities you could need. Cooler, snorkels, flippers, laundry machines, balcony, books, and plenty of space. You do need a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get there as it is on the side of a mountain, but the views are worth it.
The property offered beautiful sweeping views of the ocean, and a cozy relaxed interior that stays cool during the night. Barb was the best, quick to communicate, and so accommodating. We had everything we needed for a great week—Barb even referred us to an excellent driver with a lot of local knowledge. Would absolutely stay again :)
We rented the property for an entire month. I can’t say enough about the owner. I’ve stayed in VRBO properties before, but I’ve never encountered an owner so responsive and helpful. The property was beautiful and we have an amazing time. Again, Barbara was the best owner we’ve ever worked with.
Everything was absolutely perfect. The view was amazing, beyond spacious and very tidy. Ms. Barbara was great from the beginning to the end. I will be back very soon :)
Breathtaking views surround on this cozy property high up in Frenchman's Bay. Plenty of space for a family of 4 with a well appointed kitchen offering all the amentities of home. Less than 15 minutes to Red Hook and Havensight puts this location close to everything you need for an excellent stay on St. Thomas. Our host, Barb, was very helpful in ensuring we got checked in and had everything we needed for a great stay! Would definitely book again.
The view off the balcony was so beautiful that I ate in more than usual just to sit up there and watch the sunset. Priceless! The villa was very clean also with plenty of room and a nice kitchen. It was bright and sunny always up there at the top of the hill! Loved my stay. Great host.
Rented from Barb for a month since my husband and I were working remotely. The condo felt so spacious and bright with all the windows. The sunset from the front deck was amazing. Unit is very clean, full kitchen and really comfortable beds. Barb is a great host. Can’t wait to go back!
This place was amazing! Barb was such a great host, super helpful and communicative before, during, and even after our trip. She really went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly.If you’re looking for a super fancy resort, this isn’t that. But if you want the real St. Thomas feel this is the spot. The place had such a fun, island vibe with cute decor that made it feel like we were living the island life for real.The view? Absolutely incredible. Waking up to that every day was a dream.There’s no A/C, but the breeze was nice and kept it pretty comfortable. It’s a little tricky to find, but there are signs to help guide you. There’s also a great local restaurant and bar nearby with really good food.Definitely recommend renting a car or using the driver Barb can connect you with, it makes things a lot easier.Would we stay here again? 1000% yes. We’re already planning on coming back. Thanks again, Barb!
