Charlotte Amalie

Experience the charm of a centrally located apartment in downtown Charlotte Amalie, where convenience meets comfort, just steps away from local eateries, shops, and the stunning waterfront. With attentive hosts and a warm atmosphere, guests have enjoyed a welcoming stay that serves as a perfect base for exploring the beauty of St. Thomas.

Unique building in a great location.  We were close to great restaurants and shopping.  We just needed a place to sleep after a long day of travel and it was awesome.

Great location! The living room also has a nice view of the ocean

The place was really nice and my family enjoyed our stay. The only thing was no, TV and my kid loves TV. You can walk to the water and eat at great restaurants. Greenhouse was awesome. Don't let the outside scare you off the place is safe, as I left my son in the condo alone, and he wasn't afraid.

The place was generally as advertised and the pictures were accurate.  Generally a good value I believe as the apartment itself was fine.  I, however, did not really feel safe in the neighborhood at night.  It was also not as convenient of a location as I had hoped.  The town of Charlotte Amalie is bustling when cruise ships are in but totally dead once they leave.  I would recommend for the place for a short stay on one's way to somewhere else in the Virgin Islands but would not recommend for an extended stay unless you are familar with Charlotte Amailie and know what to expect staying there.

We had a great time staying downtown, we rented a car to check out the beaches on st Thomas, but we had plenty of nice restaurants and bars to walk to, including only being a minute walk from the harbour.
