WONDERFUL!!! My family of 4 stayed in this condo from 4/28-5/13. There are so many great things to say I don't even know where to begin. We received a beautiful gift basket upon arrival with a personalized note addressed to my whole family welcoming us. The accommodations were beautiful, clean, and roomy. Each room has its own bathroom and tv. The beds and bedding are comfortable and the rooms are generous in size. The view from the balcony is beyond words. I enjoyed my coffee every morning sitting there looking at the ocean. No need to pack any beach stuff, everything you need is already here. We discovered a supply of beach towels, chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach umbrellas, water shoes (2 pairs which fit my husband and daughter so I would say a men's 10 and women's 7 1/2) and various ice chests. There was even an umbrella for those spurts of St. Thomas rain! If you plan on cooking, the kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, and utensils. All you really need to pack are your clothes. I have been to St. Thomas many times and these are the best accommodations I have stayed at by far. I wish I could have stayed here forever. I look forward to staying here again in the future! |

What a wonderful 10 days/9 nights we had!! You definately helped in making our honeymoon a special experience with all of the helpful information, and staying in touch with us to make sure we had everything we needed. We rented a jeep for the trip -- which was definately a good thing for us with all that we saw and did. Several restaurants which we found EXCELLENT were: Tavern on the Waterfront in Charlotte Amalie, Latitude 18 over by Red Hook (down a beaten path but WELL worth it), and Banana Tree Grill at Bluebeards Castle. The condo is in a perfect location, practically right in the middle of Red Hook and Downtown. Can't wait to come back, hopefully really soon!! Thanks again for everything! |

Our trip to Bolongo Bay was definitely a positive one. I was also impressed that on our first day there, Earl called to be sure all was well for us and to ask if we needed anything. We enjoyed being at Bolongo Bay and met some wonderful people there. We had everything we needed in our condo in order to make our stay a pleasant one. We rented a vehicle as well, which was a wonderful convenience. Plus Earl gave great directions about getting to the condos from the airport, as well as other links providing other helpful info. We had a wonderful time! |

Earl, This comment is way over due so please forgive us. My husband, I and our 3 sons stayed in your condo last summer and had a great time. You were wonderful to work with, called to make sure all was going well and give support if we needed it. The condo was perfect. It was great to be able to eat our meals there with 3 boys who seem to always be hungry. We also liked having the option to go out to eat if we wanted a change of pace. It was nice to be able to walk down the beach to dinner. Snorkeling was great and we tried all of the beaches. Driving can be a challenge but if you expect it, it isn't too bad. There was plenty to do to keep us busy during our visit. We checked out the shopping by the cruise ships and even found several gyms where my son could work out. The Wyndham gave my son a day pass in their beautiful facility. My youngest son went parasailing there also. Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your great condo. We would definately stay here again. Thanks Earl! The Flynns |

We are just back to rainy Virginia :( We miss Bolongo Bay already. The condo was very accommodating and was far nicer than we ever expected. We all slept well after a long day of snorkeling, scuba diving, or visiting area sites. A huge help was having the Food Center close by. This saved us a ton of money. We ate breakfast and lunch at the condo and half of our dinner's at Iggie's, Lobster Grill and Mim's which were all walking distance to the condo. At St. Thomas, we checked out Mountain Top, Coki Beach, Coral World, Magen's Bay, Drake's Seat, Charlotte Amalie etc. We took the Ferry at Red Hook over to St. John and loved snorkeling at Trunk Bay. Renting a car also saved us money and we did fine driving on the left side of the road. Bolongo Bay beach was very relaxing and quiet. We met a few families but it was never crowded. The views from the condo were breath taking. Thank you so much for a memorable vacation. Our three sons ages 8, 10 and 12, my husband and I had a fantastic time! |

Hey Earl, Your place on St Thomas was all we expected and more. The condo was plenty ample for five big guys from New York in need of a get away. The breezes and the views from balcony made a great first impression on us all. Everything we could possibly need or want was there and ready for us to enjoy from the first hour to the last. There was nothing we wanted for. Thanks for that. As for the Island itself, we loved it. Although maybe not for everyone, we decided to explored St Thomas and St John's by motorcycle. Traveling this way gave us the freedom to experience even the most private and out of the way beaches, dirt roads and truly native areas of both islands. We had a blast hang out with some islanders and we made a few cruise ship friends, (wink wink). Can't wait to go back. The only problem was that we ran out of time too soon. Thanks again from us all John, NYC |

Condo was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need, and owner provides beach equipment. Location is great! You are only about 10mins to main shopping in the Harbor and another 10mins to Redhook! There is a cool beach bar about 200 yards from the condo (Iggies) and a restaurant directly below the condo (Mim's). We bought groceries and cooked every night and had our dinners on the balcony! The beach is nice but water is a tad bit choppy. We went to Coki Beach and were blown away by it's sure beauty. Coki Beach is a must do on the Island. If you are looking for Night-Life we recommend you hop on the ferry and go to St.John's more bars in one location. Added feature not mentioned. The condo has it's own pet iguana! We named him Hank and every night around 4-5pm ish, he climbs up the coconut tree right outside the balcony. Earl the owner is awesome! He called to check up on us to makes sure everything was ok and if we needed anything. WE ARE COMING BACK AND STAYING HERE AGAIN!" |

We
had a wonderful vacation with our two adult children.
The condo was perfect and we especially appreciated the
convenient and thoughtful extras such as beach towels,
chairs, and floats, high-speed internet access and fax
machine, and DVD player and movies. The condo's fully
equipped kitchen, lovely decor, air-conditioning, and
extremely convenient location right above Mims
restaurant, steps from the beach, pool, and dive club
also contributed to a relaxed and very pleasant time.
(Our children both earned their Advanced Open Water Dive
certifications during our stay). It was great, too, that
you were always available when we had a question, Earl.
Thanks!!

Hi
Earl, We had a wonderful time at your condo, which had everything that we needed to make our vacation the best we ever had. Thank you for supplying all info before, during and even after our trip. Between three places to eat, the beach, pool, dive shop and access to catamaran sunset cruise, we didn't need to go anywhere else. Nice relaxing trip. Thank you!

Dear
Earl, I really enjoyed your accommodations in St.
Thomas. The location of the condo was perfect and there
were 3 of the greatest restaurants within walking
distance - one being right outside the balcony. The
views are wonderful and the breeze is just right. Will
come again.

Earl, We really enjoyed our stay at your condo. The unit was very nice and the location was perfect at Bolongo Bay. The local restaurants were excellent and the privacy of the beach was great. We've been to St. Thomas numerous times and the price, location on the beach and nearby dining makes this condo one of the best deals on St. Thomas. Thanks .............

Hi
Earl, We got home safely after spending an incredibly wonderful week at your condo. It's a wonderful place and we were very comfortable. We loved Iggie's and spent several evenings there. Please feel free to use me as a reference if you want to for future tenants, we really enjoyed the condo. This was the best vacation Bob and I have ever had. We both had high expectations, and they were exceeded. Thanks for having the condo nice and clean for us when we got there, and the gift basket was a great touch, too! Mary B |
| Positive Rating | We
really enjoyed staying at this condo. There are air
conditioners in both bedrooms and the living room, which
kept the place nice and cool. The bed was comfy, the
decor was nice and tropical, there were lots of clean
towels in the bathrooms, the internet was handy, and the
view from the very large deck was like a postcard! Iggy's, the funniest open air beach bar I have ever been to. It's a 3 minute walk from the condo, the food and drinks are reasonably priced (and St Thomas food is expensive) and the atmosphere can't be beat. Do not miss the twice weekly karaoke, even if you are not a singer! It is just plain fun, with a nice mix of locals and vacationers all out for a good time. Then at the end of the evening, you can just walk back to your comfy condo, no worries about driving the narrow, winding, drive-on-the-left roads of St Thomas at night. The condo owner, Earl Thomas, is friendly and easy to deal with, always got back to me promptly when I was getting things set up. We would definitely stay here again! Mary and Bob Bowden |

Hi,
Earl We wanted to let you know that we did receive the deposit refund last week. Thanks for being so prompt! I can't tell you what a wonderful time we had. It was far beyond our expectations. There was so much for us to do, and the view from the condo was absolutely breathtaking. The guys got to go scuba diving and fishing and parasailing, and we all enjoyed the beaches, sightseeing and shopping--and Mims! We found the condo to be very well equipped, comfortable and well kept, and the perfect location for all the fun we could pack in. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. It was truly the trip of a lifetime. Thanks for everything, Sandy David and Sandra Hough |

Earl,
Sorry it has taken me so long to send you a thank you. Anyway, thank you for the basket. It was a great touch. The four adults toasted with the Champagne our last night on the island. The "relax" line was perfect for my wife. I am not sure she got completely uncoiled in seven days, but the time away helped. Everything concerning the condo was fine. The line around the balcony to dry stuff was a great idea. The location was perfect for us as we split activities from both Red Hook and C.A. The extra bed did not cause any space problems at all. The combination lock is excellent. I want one for my home here. Thanks again, Steve Forgy Steve Forgy Powell, Ohio |

Hi
Earl, We've been back over a week now and I just remembered I still have the key! We had a great time - Bolongo Bay was really nice. We hung out at Iggie's and had dinner one night at Mim's. We went on over to St. John for a day then to St Croix after we left Bolongo and came home to the ice storm last week. I'll get the key out to you tomorrow, Regards, Bob Bob Seymour |
