Marc and Nancy Giges have created a jewel of a vacation spot in their lovely condo in St. Thomas. The condo was very bright and airy, spacious and comfortable with an updated new kitchen. The size of the condo was great with a beautifully appointed master bedroom. Both bathrooms have also been totally updated. I particularly enjoyed reading in the newly renovated glass room area in the front with the two over- large lounge chairs facing the beach.
The view of the Caribbean from the front living room area was the most beautiful that I saw on the Island of St. Thomas. The beach just a short walk on a manicured path has an outstanding view of Tortola, St. John, and Jost Van Dyke. The water was very calm and well suited for swimming or snorkeling.
The shopping in Charlotte Amalie a cab or car ride away was quite fun with great prices on jewelry, liquor and fragrances. The restaurants I visited were casual with excellent local foods. A drive to Magens Bay for the view was worth the effort. For those seeking some adventure a day trip by charter boat was available to the Virgin Gorda baths, with snorkeling available, and an optional swim ashore to Jost Van Dyke.
For unique gifts (at Mongoose Junction) and some great restaurants a ferry trip to St. John from Red Hook (the ferries run every hour) was quite easy to get to and close to the condo.
