The property had great views. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The views to the bay were wonderful. Getting up to the hotel is fairly difficult and it’s recommended that you rent a car to get there. Television and stations are very limited.

Would stay again.

Call to request the cook be on hand for a meal when google says closed. I’d suggest this note be added to the email confirmation. Taxi didn’t arrive as scheduled but owner took our group at no charge. Good views of St. Thomas from the expensive rooms.

We loved the Island View Guesthouse

Our group of 6 arrived late on a Sunday night and were warmly greeted by Libby, the owner. We discussed with the need for a taxi for an early morning pickup which she took care of. The restaurant was closed on Sunday evenings but were Libby told us that all we had to do was call in advance and they would open it for us. Good to know for future. The property is very beautiful and quaint and the view from the balcony is world class. The best part was when our scheduled taxi did not arrive in time, Libby didn't waste any time and jumped in her car and drove us there. Awesome customer service. I would highly recommend the Island View Guesthouse and will definitely stay there again on our next trip to St. Thomas

We stayed one night after our catamaran trip. The hotel sits up on the hillside and the views are amazing. The mattress was little saggy on one side, but everything else was truly fine. The Breakfast was also very good and the staff excellent!!

Above and beyond

Our room was fairy tail good. Everything was gorgeous and the view was stunning. We had dinner at their steakhouse which was a 10. We had an amazing view of the fireworks from our table. And then the owners went above and beyond. We had to get an early taxi to the airport so they woke up early to make us breakfast.

The restaurant food was excellent. The staff was superb, the view was incredible. Didn't like the narrow, windy, steep roads and limited parking. We returned early every day in order to make sure we had a parking spot. We enjoyed it, but won't be back, very expensive in general and have seen it. Thank you very much.

A relaxing escape

We loved this place!! I came here with my mom and sis to recharge from having a baby a few months ago. We stayed in the suite with the pullout couch. The bed was amazing and I got my first full nights sleep in months here!! The food was amazing and the staff very accommodating. The chef and owner personally comes to ensure you are having a good time and offers recommendations on things to do while in town if you were like me and ran out of time to plan LOL. that’s life with a toddler and baby I suppose. Do yourself the favor and rent a car from the airport…you will not regret it. A taxi is about $15 per person and some charge an additional $3 for your luggage…this is all per person and depending on where you’re going. This was the lower end of the scale. The island itself is very expensive and many of the folks there are looking to make a few bucks.

Homey Gem in St. Thomas

What a lovely spot in St. Thomas! Our hosts welcomed us by name as soon as we stepped up to the reception desk. It was such a welcome change from the large hotel we'd spent another night at while on St. Thomas. The dinner we had that night was delicious and the complimentary breakfast was wonderful as well!

My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay. Our room was cute, comfortable and clean. The grounds are lovely - many tropical plants. The saltwater pool is very nice, too. The staff is very kind, gracious and helpful. The food is wonderful. Unfortunately, our schedule didn’t permit us to have dinner, but the restaurant was always full during the dinner hours. The breakfast is perfect! The location above the town provides for a beautiful day and night, and an easy commute to shopping, site seeing, and nearby beaches. I would definitely stay there again. One special feature are the two kitties that are very friendly and love greeting guests.

Beautiful views and nice people. The small restaurant is closed on sunday night the night we stayed but ordered pizza! Rooms are small but styled and very clean and lots of hot water- which sometimes is an issue o the islands! No bar… just an area with liquor and honor system. Overall very nice stay and close to airport!
