We really enjoyed our stay at Island View Guesthouse. The view from the room, pool, and eating areas was fabulous. The food at breakfast and the dinner we ate was delicious. We did have an issue with hot water and housekeeping but otherwise it was a good time.

Island Guesthouse is a beautiful property. The view is spectacular. The rooms are clean. The staff was great. The evening meal in the restaurant was exceptional. I chose this facility because of the consistently great reviews. I was not disappointed. I do have some suggestions though. Breakfast needs variety and it would be great to accommodate various diets. The patio chairs should be higher so one can see over the banister. Firm pillow options would be great too. I loved it here. I would definitely recommend it.

Gorgeous view!!! Staff were amazing (special shout out to Marlyn who was so kind throughout our stay). The rooms are SO clean!! I wish the restaurant was open while we were there because we repeatedly heard from other locals that they have the best steak on the island!

Amazing guesthouse!

Despite the insane incline to drive up to the place, thin walls that me and my now fiance had an entertaining listen of a night of another couple, and challenge of finding out the secret method to having hot water (turn on the hot water on the sink first for a while before using the shower lol) the stay was legit incredible. I know it sounds crazy but I’d definitely stay there again. Staff were very friendly and you cannot beat the view of the island. The breakfast was really good and the rooms were comfortable. Check in and out was very easy. I’d definitely stay again.

Libby and the staff were beyond kind, caring, and giving. I was stuck on the island due to the hurricane and needed a place for my son and me to stay. With hundreds of others in the same situation, I randomly chose this hotel—and I feel so blessed that I did. From the moment we arrived, I felt truly cared for and understood, especially during such an anxious and uncertain time. What could have been a terrible experience was turned into a calm and reassuring one, thanks to their compassion. I only wish I had stayed here for my entire trip. I can never thank them enough.

This is a lovely looking property from the outside, with a clean pool and a wonderful outdoor seating area for breakfast and drinks. However, the room was in need of a pretty big refresh and did not match the pictures on this site at all. The pictures show bright decorations and linens, rugs, etc. Our room had nothing but the bed with basic linens, a dresser with a few basic trinkets, a very old kitchen with some broken cabinets, and a broken outdoor table on a balcony that had power lines running directly in front of it. It wasn't unlivable, but it definitely was a surprise based on what was shown during booking. The breakfast was small but delicious and the staff was kind. We wouldn't immediately book here again, but we wouldn't not stay if it was the best option available.

This property has a beautiful panoramic & breathtaking view of the ocean and St. Thomas Bay. It is close to downtown, and simply beautiful. The rooms are simply appointed and very clean. Libby is an excellent host, making guests feel like you're visiting their home. You'll be well taken care of at Island View Guesthouse. Delicious breakfasts also.
