It was our first time to VI and this place was perfect. The views were amazing and Michelle was so nice and helpful! The driveway definitely adds character and some fun to the whole experience. Would love to stay there again whenever we’re back!

We loved our stay at this beautiful place.. I'd give you 10 stars if I could! We appreciated the clear directions to get to the house and the hospitality of the hosts😁 The view is great and the house is very cute.
We love staying at Kevin & Michelle’s property. They are gracious hosts who are willing to answer any questions you may have, and offer help if needed. The road is an experience in itself to drive, but you are on an island! Being that you are on the hillside, there are beautiful views of Bolongo Bay. It’s centrally located, and only minutes away from most major attractions. Other than a rooster crowing in the mornings, and an occasional dog barking, it is quiet. The room is comfortable, and we have plenty of room for the 2 of us. We had daily visits from their cats, but as a cat person, we loved seeing them. This was our 3rd stay at this location, but are already trying to plan our next visit.
My kids and I really enjoyed our stay here. Clean, comfortable beds, plenty of kitchen and beach supplies, amazing views from the two decks. Drive up and down hill is challenging, so I’d definitely recommend getting a rental vehicle with good clearance. I’d stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The view was amazing. The terrain is a little rough getting to and from but otherwise a very nice place to stay. Really gives you the “island” feel

This was my second stay at this property and would move in if I could find a job on the island! Beautiful views and hosts were incredible even with my terrible touristy driving! My kids love this place and it's the only vacation spot they've ever specifically asked to return to. I hope we are lucky enough to have a future stay!

Awesome views, even better than in the pictures. Host was very friendly and had good tips for activities. Beach chairs, snorkels, coolers, etc available to use. Had everything we needed. It felt private and comfortable. I wouldnt hesitate to stay there again.
This was our 2nd stay. As soon as we walked in, it felt like home. Michelle & Kevin are very easy to get ahold of if needed. The studio apartment is perfect for a vacation of any length of stay and that view is spectacular to wake up to each day! We will be staying here again and highly recommend it!
PROS: Place was private, clean, cozy, and like home.Had no WiFi/internet/electricity issues. Stocked, full kitchen and beach supplies! There is a basket full of local menus/excursion options. AC cool enough, fans available, and breeze from the ocean was niiiiiice! Easy to reach Michelle with questions and loved that she gave helpful tips for our trip. Cats and feral chickens are around but not bothersome.
CONS: Most taxis won’t come up hill so transportation will be an issue if u don’t rent a car. The car service that was suggested was unreliable. Residents we met while walking Bolongo Hill were not friendly.
This was our first time staying at Tropical Getaway. WOW!!! The views are absolutely amazing!!!
Our room was clean and had everything you may need to make your stay more comfortable, fully equipped kitchen, washer, dryer, small coolers and beach equipment. My favorite was the grill on one of the decks!
Tropical Getaway is located above Bolongo Bay Resort, and is located on the south side of the island almost halfway between Charlotte Amalia and Red Hook. It is convenient to many of the island beaches and attractions, and 15-20 minuets (based on traffic) from the airport. Be aware, the road leading to the villa is truly an “island road”... steep & narrow.
Kevin & Michelle are the most gracious hosts. They met us on our first day to show us what was where in our room and explained, about getting around St. Thomas. We ran into only a couple small glitches (of our own accord) during our 2 week stay. When we reached out, it was handled promptly.
As animal lovers, we enjoyed our daily visits by Compass, with Buoy occasionally tagging along. They really helped it feel even more like home, and helped us miss our cats less.
We love St Thomas, and really enjoyed our stay at Tropical Getaway! We are now trying to figure out when we will be able to return!
We have no difficulty in recommending a stay at Tropical Getaway!

We *loved* our 2 weeks in this St. Thomas paradise - especially the sunrises over the ocean.
Host Michelle provided a great island fact sheet & answered all our questions, then left us alone to enjoy ourselves! We texted her twice & received a quick response both times.
The rental has a partial bedroom dividing wall & a pull-out sofa in the living room: perfect for 2 couples or a group of 4 pals. There's also a 16' Airstream for rent, a few yards down a short, rocky path. If you're going to the Virgin Islands with a group, rent both places & stick the teenagers (or partiers) in the Airstream. The Airstream sleeps 2 comfortably, 3 in a squeeze. If you're a close family or group of friends, 7 people could fit by renting both places. Or rent just one for a comfy couple retreat!
This isn't a luxurious resort. It's a relaxed beach-view retreat, high on the hill over Bolongo Bay. Cuisinart pots , nice plates & mugs, *incredibly* comfortable beds with bamboo sheets add a designer-feel in the relaxed surroundings.
Unlike a lot of VI home rentals, both these rentals have great AC - a help during the rare times the tropical breeze isn't blowing.
If your plan is to get married on your trip, your host Michelle also performs beachfront wedding ceremonies! There are snorkles, beach chairs & games. Are you a cat lover? Compass & Buoy appear at the sliding glass door a couple times a day & love a good scratch!
Highly recommended Virgin Islands rental!
I enjoyed the stay. It was very spacious with the most amazing views you can get on a vacation. Everything you could think off that you need on a vacation, it was there. Full kitchen appliance and kitchenware, washer and dryer, full living room with all that you need, an outside grill, balcony with a hammock, diving gear. It goes on and on. Amazing all around.

Nice place, well stocked, owner very helpful. Hard to find without the owner giving specific markers to look for. Drive uphill for the last 1/3rd mile is tedious.
We enjoyed our first trip to St Thomas and found this to be a perfect location to stay. The rental had everything you would need and the view is absolutely beautiful. We didn't really see our hosts much as we spent most of our time out exploring but Michelle was very welcoming and friendly.
Host was super communicative and the directions to the property wete spot on! Loved waking up and watch the sunrise and watching the sunsets in the evening. The views are spectacular!!
We had the best time here this week! We loved every moment of our vacation. I can’t say enough about how friendly and helpful our host Michelle was! I feel like we had the true island experience that you do not get to see from a cruise ship or resort. We definitely hope to go back one day!
Kevin and Michelle were very responsive and communicative. Michelle was extremely kind and helpful with getting us settled in and answering any questions we had. Would definitely recommend!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Lots of comfy nuances in well organized private living space. Attentive Host provided a sufficient initial orientation as well as local info about food & activities available . Having a car is a must for staying at this higher elevation location that offers slightly milder temps, stronger breezes and stunning views than at beachside.
My husband & I spent a week in St. Thomas in this sweet spot. The place was well equipped, with snorkel gear and beach chairs as well as two beautiful balconies overlooking the Caribbean. The apartment was very spacious for the two of us, filled with everything we could possibly need for a wonderful trip.
Pay attention to the directions given and you'll find the place with no problem! We cannot say enough about our kind hosts who were responsive to all of our requests. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing place to stay in St. Thomas.

Michelle is a very nice person and did her best to take care of us
A/c did not cool the entire apartment, oven and oven drawer very dirty, room fans very dirty. Equipped very well. It had everything you would need.
We stayed at this beautiful location for five nights and we absolutely loved it. The apartment was very airy and bright, the kitchen had all the staples for cooking away from home. We loved waking up each morning to have breakfast on one of the two balconies, watching the sea and boats.
We had rented a car to explore the island during the day and it's many beautiful beaches and come back to our little haven after a day out. This location is perfect for anyone who wants to be away from any of the bustle of the large cruise ships that visit the island daily.
We also had some adorable cats visiting us daily, which only added to the overall enjoyment of our stay! We cannot wait to visit again!
From day one of reserving this wonderful place, Michelle was in contact welcoming us. The suite was just as described, the climb up the mountain at first a little scary but by day two it was a breeze. The view is wonderful along with the breeze through out the place. We will be returning in November to stay again. FYI people leave food behind for the next visitors. We left alcohol and beer hot pockets beefpatties and some other things.
