About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lowkey Studio, Red Hook area

This is a spacious studio apartment located on the lower section of the property with its own balcony area. You'll find that you're out of sight and out of the way of anyone bothering you.

In 2004 this property was voted #1 for beautification and featured on a local TV channel.

We are located on the east end of St Thomas, near Red Hook in an area called Nazareth (like in the bible). The neighborhood is professional middle class, mostly quiet. Older community. Classic caribbean homesteads.

You get what you pay for
Communication with host was good when I expressed interest, from booking and forward communication was not great. No response from within the app, no arrival or checkout instructions, i called her for help when the bedroom door locked behind us with no key to get back in and she got one of the neighbors to shimmy the lock and let us in but was rude with us about needing help. Cleanliness on arrival was okay, does not sleep 4 as advertised, stove and oven do not work at all, wifi was not working either. Best thing about this place was the convenient location with proximity to Red Hook and the ferry. This listing is a place to sleep, shower, and refrigerate your food/drinks. it'll get the job done but don't expect much.

DISAPPOINTING ON MANY LEVELS
So, Ophelia-the owner may live in the main residence but she is 76 and does not take care of the property. Her son Antonio is actually the one u deal with but u don't know that until u have problems. When I got there the place had not been cleaned so I actually talked to Ophelia, got a broom and mop and swept/mopped the floors myself. She was nice and apologized. The air conditioning unit is too small for the apt. and barely cools the room down. The fridge kept everything luke cool and barely works & had to keep things in freezer just to keep it cold. The stove u see in the pic doesn't work and they give u an electric hot plate to cook on. The tv doesn't have a remote so u have to turn the tv on and adjust the volume by hand and the one remote there is for the cable box to switch channels & u only have about 5 channels. The ceiling fan in the pic works but the lights do not. The shower barely has hot water or pressure. The lamp between the beds in the pic does not work & broken. The liquid dish soap was actually a little soap and the rest water. After a long day of travel and trying to settle in at midnight and finding all this stuff wrong I went to Ophelia knocked on her door and said that I was unhappy and we needed to fix the issues or move me. She agreed that she would move me in the morning to a different unit. Thirty minutes later I get an email from her son antonio saying how dare I go to his mom that late and complain. He provided his phone number in the email and I called him immediately at 12:30 at night to straighten things out. He could have cared less, tried to talk over me, told me I was the problem and then told me he would have someone there that day to fix the issues. I stayed at the apt. all day waiting for anyone to come fix the issues and no one showed. I text him at16:00 and asked for an update on expecting someone. He then told me that I needed to leave the apt. and that me talking to his mom at midnight gave her a heart attack and put her in the hospital and he was now flying in because apparently he doesn't even live here. This was a lie and when I tried to text him about staying/meeting up to talk he was having none of it. He canceled my reservation, and then sent a pic to me of him holding a handgun in his car threating me if I didnt leave. I am limited here but the full review is on another popular review site for the TRIP (hint, hint)

When I checked-in the water in the first unit had a bad oder and the A/C didn’t cool the room well. The whole property uses the same cistern but, other units didn’t have the bad oder. The host said this wasn’t true and that I just wanted out of the contract to move to a cheaper property, which was not true. We really just wanted to go to something in better condition. The owner let me look at a second unit, it was better and didn’t have the oder problem. We moved to this unit. We were even told by Ophelia that she didn’t want to hear complaints. The property is located near the top of a hill and a little challenging walking to the store and Red Hook. Taxi’s are $5-6 a person per trip. I enjoy walking but, the roads aren’t made for safety of pedestrians. This BNB could use some updates and repairs. The microwave oven turntable no longer turns. The windows use a crank to close but the cranks don’t function well and windows don’t close up tightly. A range hood over the stove would be a nice addition. This is the worst BNB experience I have had to date and I’ve been traveling for the last 8 months.

I love the location and proximityo hidden gems like Secret Harbor and Red Hook less than 1 mile away
I had rented from Ophialia earlier in the 2022 and she is an awesome host. She is a very kind person who will go out of her way to make your stay special. Today, I consider Ophilia a friend that I come to the USVI to visit.

Good Choice
Hi! The place is just like the pictures. Stayed here almost a week. Clean, shower works good, nice balcony, the beds were just fine, A/C works good; just make sure to close the bedroom door for the A/C as the bathroom area / foyer is open the atmosphere through mesh at the top. Close walking distance to Secret Harbor Beach (awesome btw; A good mix of all the features of St Thomas beaches) and Sunset Grille. Spent alot of time at both, reasonable prices at the grill. Aqua Action is nearby and I did their Discover Scuba course, highly recommend!
