Stunning, Oceanfront Villa on 1.5 very private acres, just minutes to Magens Bay

As featured on HGTV and winner of 'BANG FOR YOUR BUCK' in St Thomas. This recently renovated and secluded villa resides majestically on the hillside, 200 feet above the Atlantic Ocean. Wake up to the sound of the Atlantic Ocean crashing onto the rocks below. Cliffhanger is located in the best location on the island, the peninsula of Peterborg. Peterborg separates Magens Bay from the Atlantic and is comprised of exclusive villas. Cliffhanger also sits in the prime location within a private, secure, and gated community at the end of the private road. You will have total privacy but will still be close to many island attractions. Once you park and enter through the stone exterior wall of the property, you will be greeted by spectacular views of the Atlantic and various islands including St. John, Jost van Dyke and Tortola. The home is located less than 20 minutes from both the airport, the nightlife in Red Hook, and the ferry to St. John. It is also only 2 miles from world famous Magens Bay beaches and just 5 minutes to the renowned Old Stone Farmhouse restaurant. This is the perfect vacation home for a family, 2 to 4 couples wanting the ultimate get away, or a honeymooning couple wanting a memory to last a lifetime. The villa has a heated plunge pool, a hot tub, and a whole house generator to insure a wonderful stay on the island.

You also can have all the amenities of a resort if you so choose. Our Villa manager will greet you at the airport and show you to the villa and make your stay wonderful. He will then get you acquainted and answer questions... Other services that are available include daily housekeeping, grocery services, onsite massage, onsite yoga chefs services, and water excursions on a private vessel (please inquire at time of booking to give us time to arrange). We pride ourselves on our personal service. You will love it!

The listing pictures truly don't do this property justice—it is even more stunning in person! We stayed in the 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom villa, and the layout was perfect for our group. The highlight was easily the outdoor space; the pool and jacuzzi offer an incredible, unobstructed view of the Atlantic Ocean that we never grew tired of.The house was beautiful, well-maintained, and exceeded all our expectations. We will definitely be staying here again!

Cliffhanger is a great house. With unobsrructed ocean views high up on a cliff, it was amazing. The house itself was spacious an clean. Maintenance seemed a bit lax, as some of the decking was loose and tile in entry was cracked. We had 5 people, and took full use of the separate cottage on property for our single son. He liked having the privacy. Cab service is non-existant as we couldnt find any company willing to come to Peterborg. Highly recommend a rental car. Magens Bay was a short 5 minute drive down a twisting road. Not within walking distance. We visited several beaches while on the island and had good experiences at all. The house was all it is advertised as. The pool was relaxing, although NOT heated as advertised. The hot tub had to be accessed up several flights of stairs. The house would not be amenable to someone needing assistance with walking as tge bedrooms are located both downstairs and upstairs. All in all it was a great stay, and we would rent there again.

We rented a car at the airport and Sally met us there and we followed her back to the house which was very helpful, especially the tour of the home that she provided. the owner was very responsive to any questions that we had and quick to answer.

Amazing Friend and Family Vacation

Having Sally meet us at the airport was very helpful in getting us to the house due to the roads and being unfamiliar with driving on the left. When we arrived the view was breathtaking. The house was perfectly divided for our group and the space was adequate for children. The rooms in the main house were cooled nicely if the blinds were shut during the day. I recommend opening the doors and letting the breeze cool the house at night, but close the doors when going to bed.The house had wonderful kitchen items and was stocked well. The drive is around 20-25 mins from everything but worth the views. We saw most islands on clear days, and will never forget our time in the Cliffhanger.

Family spring break

We loved the location of the property, the views, and the layout of the house worked great for our family of 5. It was nice we were able to follow the property manager to the house when we arrived. After check-in, I felt the communication and response time to questions was below average. There is also no information regarding the house, which is typically supplied in a binder in house rentals. The house is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay, but the attention to detail and customer service to guests is lacking.
