This large, well equipped home is located on the sparsely populated north side of St. Thomas with breath-taking views. Room enough for our grown family of six with plenty of space for hanging out in the family room. The deck is spacious and private, looking out to the north over the Caribbean Sea. There is no access to the shore here--too steep and rocky, but still an amazing vantage point. Always felt very safe and secure here, with gated access to residents. Brand new appliances in the kitchen with many cooking and serving accessories. Brand new gas grill on the deck which works very well for grilling meals. Deck furniture is plentiful and comfortable. Beds are are comfortable with bedrooms each having their own A/C unit. Owners are very attentive and easy to contact. They went above and beyond to provide for us--even on New Year's Day!!! The only drawback is the drive into the community. Make sure to have a 4X4 and be patient and focused. The drive is not for the feint of heart, but the destination is well worth it. Located within 15-35 minutes from any attraction or beach on the island.

We really enjoyed our time at Villa Mangorosa for the holidays. The view is spectacular directly above the ocean on the north side of the island. The north side of the island is residential and quiet, which is my family's preference. Everything is within 15-25 minute drive. The house is at the end of a long road with lots of inclines and sharp turns. We were happy that we rented a 4x4 vehicle. Gated community with dedicated parking. The house is at the bottom of about 50 steps. Keep that in mind if your guests are not physically able to comfortably climb stairs. You also need to maneuver your luggage up and down. The house is exactly as pictured with 4 bedrooms. 2 bedrooms have mirrored layouts with on suite bathrooms (1 on main floor and 1 on 2nd floor). The 2 remaining bedrooms are on the 2nd floor and share access to a large bathroom with 2 sinks. Large tvs in every room; however, only have access to cable in living room. Other tvs have streaming apps available. A few items of inconveniences that the host can resolve. Only 1 dish towel and no pot holders in kitchen. Only 2 bath towels per bathroom, so we had to wash towels everyday. Minor ant problem second day, because my child left open sweet cereal box on counter. We put out ant bait and used ziploc bags for all food after and the ant problem resolved. Its important to note, this house is on a lush green hillside landscape and bugs are unavoidable. We loved the house and highly recommend.
