Neighbourhood
We live in a quiet neighborhood at the end of the street. It feels very secluded, and you won’t see any other people unless someone is staying in the attached apartment downstairs (we use it as a vacation rental and for PLU).
Brewers Beach is a 3-4 minute drive down the mountain and is a favorite “locals” beach (also the best beach on the island to see sea turtles).
Just around the corner from our neighborhood is the Santa Maria beach path. Santa Maria is a pristine, gorgeous beach, which is only accessible by hiking or by boat, so there is usually no one there (or maybe 2 or 3 people). The hike is about 15 minutes down and 20-25 up. You need to be in shape for this one, but it’s worth the effort! This is also the beach that our house overlooks.
Ten minutes from the house you’ll find Frenchtown, which has an interesting history, as well as lots of fantastic restaurants and the ferry dock for day trips to Water Island and St. John.
Nearest airport
Cyril E. King Airport is 8 minutes away.
Getting around
Many visitors to the island take taxis everywhere - we drive on the left, with the steering wheel also on the left, and it can take some getting used to. Taxis charge per person and the rates are posted online. We also have a Nissan Leaf electric car that we could exchange (seats five).

Both Caroline’s home and St.Thomas islands was fantastic! We had one of the best Vacay!! we were staying in 2Br guest house with million dollar ocean view for a week while Caroline and her family was staying in main house. Two homes separate entry and full privacy. The guest house has balcony with amazing view also shower and livingroom. Guest house was fully updated and things are all new ish. Home was clean and tidy and everything was very comfortable. The best part is we get to spend time together and Caroline’s son and our son played all day together and they had so much fun! St. Thomas offers beautiful beaches and one of the best snorkeling. Water is calm, clean and lots of fishes and sea creatures available. Also 30mins ferry, you can visit St.John. Another beautiful island with amazing beaches and trails! Thank you so much for hosting us and we really appreciate for your excellent hospitality! We can’t wait to gather together again with you guys in the future. -
We were so lucky to have arranged an exchange with Caroline. She was easy to communicate with and so kind to let us not only stay at their lovely home but also allowed us to use their car. We truly felt like locals and enjoyed our first home exchange experience. Her home was spacious, well organized and had the most amazing views from the patio. The location is perfect for exploring the island and very close to the ferry to visit St. John which we did. We all had a fantastic time and can't wait to return to St. Thomas. Thank you Caroline for sharing your home with us. -
Carolines house is amazing! It is truly an island paradise; you can even walk to a secluded beach. Her and her family were the best hosts and gave us so much information for our trip. We are so grateful they let us stay in their home, and we especially enjoyed the company of their amazing pets!
