Neighbourhood
Sought after Northside location, central to everything, and with the best views on the island.
Getting to my home
Renting a car is strongly recommended, though it is possible to call taxis. We can help you arrange a rental car for a fraction of the price rental companies will charge. Addresses are really not used on the island, so we will share a pin to our house for ease of navigation.
Nearest airport
STT is 15 minutes from our house with direct flights from all major hubs on the east coast of the US.
Getting around
The house is 5-10 minutes from all major beaches, the downtown area, shopping, and amazing restaurants.

We had the pleasure of hosting Michael and his excellent family (“the Fishers”) for 3 weeks in July this year. Their stay took PLU hosting to another level as far as we are concerned. The Fishers treated the house with utmost care, and left it to us in splendid shape. The interaction with them was great, and we look forward to keeping the relation in the future. This stay really shows the potential to connect through PLU! From the minute we connected on FaceTime prior the exchange, we talked, laughed and really enjoyed meeting them. Michael and his family are very well travelled, and are very open to sampling local delicacies. It became almost a challenge to find food that would really test their palate - since they tried everything from matured brown goat cheese (which can smell like wet wool, taste like sheep and get stuck your palate) to ‘Fårikål’ (look it up, it tastes better than it looks) as well as reindeer (sorry Santa). For some strange, seasonal reasons they did not get to try Rakfisk or Pinnekjøtt, which gives them a very good reason to come back. We will gladly open our doors! Not only did they threat the house well, they also treated us well - and invited us for dinner when we were passing through the area on the way from the west coast to Oslo. A great meetup and we look forward to meeting them again next summer in the Virgin Islands! There should probably be some form of contest to be allowed to host them :-). -
We absolutely loved having Michael and his family stay in our Copenhagen home. We can't wait to visit our new friends in St. Thomas. They are a gorgeous, warm-hearted family. -
Michael, Jenny, Kaden and Ellie were perfect guests. They looked after our home as if it were their own and we were happy to have them. We would certainly recommend for any house swap. David and Michaela
