This place has great views, which change because the clouds and sun make the light vary. Sun and moon rise views are great. The website said something like "you really should have a Jeep". I would add that you really should be an experienced driver on St. Thomas because roads can be very narrow, not well paved (many potholes) and have many hairpin turns. In addition, parking is tight almost everywhere. Drivers in the hills are generally courteous, but at ground level around the two main towns, they may not be. If you plan to go into town check to see if any cruise ships are in port and pick another day. Just about all parking lots and driveways in the mountains are steep and many were not level. One disturbing thing was the four video cameras all around the place and at the gate of the driveway. The only notice of this was a small (<2" decal on the front door reading "protected by Ring audio and video surveillance." This was NOT prominently displayed, which I think goes against VRBO policy. There were many ADT security stickers, with sensors on all windows, but that system seems to have been inactivated. All but one window had small, difficult to handle thumb-screw braces that could be put on but I doubt they would hold up to someone strong trying to open it. The closest window to the street had no such lock. A neighbor two doors (maybe 150 feet away) had two small yappy dogs that barked for long times on quite a few days, making a sit on the porch or soak in the tub much less pleasant. I know the owner has no control over that, but it would be nice to know in advance. Finally with regard to the "heated pool" and hot tub, the pool was about 75 degrees which is the average low air temp in St. Thomas most of the year. I'm an active swimmer so it didn't really bother me but my wife cannot swim in that temp. Also they told me not to cover the pool, even thought there was a thick four panel cover like the one on the tub. It's precariously stacked at the end of the pool which overlooks a serious drop down a rocky hill full of trees and plants. We realized they were spying on us when we were alerted to "not climb on the cover". Since I couldn't cover it, it wouldn't get warm and leaves, insects and debris would collect because its windy. When we first used the hot tub scum came out, indicating maybe it hadn't been used in some time, three days in a row. They suggested the tub got dirty because we had drinks and didn't shower. BS, we have a tub.
