Waters Edge Villa on beautiful Cowpet Bay, St. Thomas, USVI

This is truly an amazing place to stay.You cannot beat the location.The porch is right over the water which was perfect for gorgeous morning sunrises with coffee and a beautiful great egret who was on the beach below each day.Cowpet Bay has surprisingly great snorkeling (under the east side units), with a nice reef and the biggest octopus I have seen in 20 years of snorkeling. The beach is lovely and peaceful with plenty of chairs for everyone. The unit has everything you might need including beach towels, bags, etc. The kitchen is great with nice appliances and is well stocked including coffee grinder and blender. There are 2 great restaurants on the property, Caribbean Fish Market and Sangria's, and Red Hook is not far with more great choices. You are within a few minutes of the Red Hook ferry to go to St. John. While staying at Cowpet Bay West, you have access to the Elysian resort, including the pool and hot tub (there is also beach bar), but note that the Elysian no longer has a gym if that is important to you. However, the property is hilly with lots of stairs that can give you a good workout! You can also walk right up the hill to the Ritz Carlton where we were told you can get a day pass to the gym. There is also public access to the beach there, it is gorgeous and worth the walk over. Bring mineral sunscreen (reef safe) with you, and bring bug spray. Overall, I highly recommend this property. Thank you Bill and Lorraine.

The condo is beautiful and well stocked. The view is so pretty and we loved sitting out on the balcony overlooking the beach and water. The condo was very clean and had nice linens and great storage for our clothes. Newer kitchen and bathrooms and porch furniture.The 2 restaurants are both great and easy to walk to as is the pool and beach. There are some stairs to get to the water. This condo even had cable tv which was a bonus! The owners are easy to communicate with and we loved our visit!

We had never stayed in the Caribbean and did a couple weeks of research to find the perfect place for our family with a teen. Priorities were affordability, cleanliness, safety, and a beachfront gorgeous view in an area with several eat-out options, nice sandy beach with shade trees, and clear calm water for swimming. We nailed it!! This spot was exactly as advertised with a view that’s hard to beat, relaxing beach and pool areas, and many nearby eating options on the property and around the corner in Red Hook and Secret Bay. The condo was a perfect home base for all of our adventures and was fully stocked and well cared for. We hope to visit again before too long!

We had a very good time in this beautiful home and especially appreciated the view and the short walk to an amazing pool and beach. The house is fully equipped with bedding, towels, dinnerware, cooking utensils, etc. - everything we could possibly want or need. The only difficulty we had was with internet and cell service. We were often unable to access either and are not sure whether it was the local utility or the home router. We chose not to notify the owner, as the upside was that we spent more time talking and enjoying each other's company without it, but wanted to note that this could be a problem for others. We were also surprised when the second payment notice included a 1500 security deposit. (Either we overlooked that or it wasn't in the property listing.) Just something to be aware of, as it took VRBO a full two weeks after our check-out date to return it.

Great location. Beautiful views, quiet beach. Easy access to Red Hook ferry,

Very quiet and safe location. Close to 2 restaurants at resort next door. Also close to Red Hook for multiple restaurants and stores. Best equipped kitchen in condo ever! Also plenty of towels and beach towels. Bill checked in with us after 2 days to ensure all was well. He was quick to respond to questions. We never contacted local property manager. Definitely recommend Waters Edge to all!

My wife and I recently stayed here for five days. The layout of the condo is fantastic with a well stocked kitchen and everything you need to enjoy your stay. The views from the Kitchen, Living Room, and Master Bedroom are incredible (Overlooking the Bay/Marina). The property is well maintained internally, and the external landscaping is lush. The place really is a tropical paradise. The beach is fantastic and it was easy to get chairs and shade for lounging. There are two restaurants very close (walking distance) that serve up good food (Sangria's for breakfast, Lunch and an early dinner, or Caribbean Fish Market for more of an upscale vibe). The owners were very responsive and available to answer any questions we had. This place is a true gem and we will be coming back!!!

A wonderful family friendly area

The location of this condo is excellent. Very close to Red Hook, where there are lots of great restaurants, and right on the beach. The views are fabulous. We didn't use the pool but we did eat at the on-site restaurant and booked a snorkeling trip through the on-site concierge. Both were wonderful. I had to communicate with the owner and the property manager during our stay - there was a pipe issue in the condo development and the water to the unit was shut off for several hours on our first day. I couldn't reach the property manager on the first try so emailed the owners. The property manager and owners got back to me shortly after and explained the situation. A head's up on the water situation would have been great, but it wasn't too much of a problem, as we used the restroom at the pool, which was still operational. The fire alarm in the unit chirped throughout the third night of our stay, so we just removed the battery (couldn't find another 9v battery), but that wasn't a big deal either. The large coffee maker seemed to be broken, but the smaller coffee maker worked beautifully. We also had groceries delivered to the condo, and that worked out very smoothly as well. The taxi services all are very familiar with the condo development and location, so transportation wasn't an issue (we didn't rent a car). There was a vehicle parked in our parking spot for the week, but since we didn't have a car it didn't impact us at all. Lovely place!

Great location close to Red Hook. Very nicely decorated with all updated appliances. We mostly appreciated the outdoor furniture as we spent the majority of our time at the condo outdoors enjoying the view and the ocean breeze. Everything you need is there. It is just a short walk to the Yacht Club, the Caribbean Fish Market and Sangrias. There are always plenty of beach chairs available. The pool and hot tub were very enjoyable. We had family members staying in other units T Cowpet West. Although theirs were very nice, this one was exceptional.
