Beautiful Villa with amazing views of St. Thomas

We had an amazing week at the Christian Vila! Cora was an absolutely wonderful host and made us feel so comfortable and welcome. She picked us up from the airport and took us grocery shopping. The views at the Vila are beautiful; the pictures do not do them justice. Our group of 7 had plenty of space and privacy. We loved that each bedroom had its own full bathroom and had a great time swimming in the private pool. I would highly recommend staying at the Christian Vila, you won’t be disappointed. The house, views, and Cora and her staff exceeded our expectations. We hope to stay again someday!

Family Holiday Week

Our family of three adult children with spouses and two grandbabies spent Christmas week in this lovely villa. From the moment I sent the first message to the owner, Miss Cora, to the very end of our stay, we had complete and immediate access to the owner, and the people who care for the grounds and the house. The view from the wrap around porch is spectacular!! We watched the sunrise every morning as the cruise ships came into port, and evening happy hour watching the ships and other boats in the harbor with beautiful colored skies as the sun set. Large bedrooms with comfy beds made sleeping enjoyable! The villa is about 10 min from the airport and downtown… the location is not easy to find at first, but after a few trips up/down the mountain- it gets easier! Well worth it! The swimming pool is a great place to relax, cool off, and have fun! We all enjoyed it! The villa is older and decorated that way… We had to do a bit of “baby proofing “ with our toddler, but there was lots of space to play inside and on the deck. A lovely trip!!

One of the best views on St. Thomas

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Cora was a great host. Communication before and during our trip was awesome and we got a lot of good information about the villa, activities on the island and food. Cora does not live on St. Thomas but has various caretakers for the villa, pool and property. And they were always only a short phone call away and helped to make us feel at home. We were met at the airport to accompany us to the villa and toshow us around. There was a starter package of groceries in the fridge. The pool was cleaned frequently. The villa itself must have one of the best views over Charlotte Amaelie. We spend a lot of time sitting on the terrace and balcony to watch the cruise ships come and go and the water planes take off and land. Considering the climate in the Carribean the villa and pool were in good shape and had ample of space for our family of six. I would note that the pool isn’t heated which was a nice refresher during the day, but felt too cold after the sun was gone. Overall we had a great experience!

Best possible venue

We had a memorable experience at Christian Villa in St. Thomas of the US Virgin Islands. Three of us visited from another island, to "sample" St. Thomas. Christian Villa was the best possible venue, upscale and a bit removed from the commercial bustle of the harbor town of Charlotte Amalie. Yet, it was less than a 10 minute drive to all the hot spots we wanted, the famous Megan's Bay, the restaurants, shopping and nightlife of town, the cruise ship festivities and seaplanes .... as well as the international airport. Its expansive view high above the lovely harbor twinkled with lights, active even at night. The welcoming traditional decor, full of beautiful family heirlooms, crafts and art, was comfortable with lots of delightful surprises such as huge master bathroom with jacuzzi tub only steps away from private balcony. A well-equipped office with WIFI kept us in touch as needed. The kitchen and dining accessories for private meals were comprehensive, lacking nothing. The pool with both sun and shade, and lush landscape all around, was a calm retreat after explorations about St. Thomas island. We would highly recommend these accommodations, especially for a group that wants both fun together and luxury private quarters.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!

My husband and I got married at Christian Villa about 2 weeks ago and it was an absolute dream! From the moment we contacted Cora about hosting our wedding at her villa to the day we left for our honeymoon, she was just outstanding to work with- such a gracious host and willing to do absolutely anything we needed to ensure our comfort and happiness. If there was anything we needed, Cora was just a phone call away and help was sent over almost immediately. We had a group of 9 stay at the villa and everyone fell in love with the place, some are even thinking of going back again and were so sad to leave. When our wedding guests came over they were just blown away by the beauty of the villa and the views. Pictures do this place no justice- the views are simply breathtaking! Our entire wedding weekend and wedding day were more than we could have ever imagined. We had an amazing time and a wonderful wedding day. We don't even have the words to describe how perfect everything was! We can't thank Cora and her staff enough for making our dream of a beautiful destination wedding a reality at her villa! We would return in a heartbeat!

Amazing view and people

There are several really great aspects of the villa. One is an amazing view from the balcony. Early in the morning and in the evening we would sit on the long balcony and just watch clouds moving by, the change of the light, and planes and ships moving in the distance. It was a great place for our family to spend time together. Another really wonderful aspect is the owner, Cora, and Daphne, the house manager. Both are very nice, caring people. Daphne was particularly helpful the day we arrived. The house itself is, generally, in good to very good condition. The kitchen and bathrooms are well kept and appointed. The layout is railroad car like with an expansive living room and dining room on one side leading to the balcony and bedrooms and kitchen on the shady side. The furnishings in the dining and living rooms are older but generally in good to very good condition. They were comfortable rooms to sit in. There are some minor things needing repair or replacement. A kitchen cabinet and dishwasher that had a strong mildew odor forcing us to wash dishes by hand. One of the beds was particularly soft. The rooms could benefit from blackout curtains as a motion-detector security light would go on in intermittently. There is some paint peeling in one room and an air conditioner that needed to be fixed. And at night there are birds chirping outside—depending on your need for quiet or the comforting sounds of nature—that could affect your sleep. As above, these were minor. I’ve given the house 4 stars—only because I can’t do 4.5.

An Authentic Island Experience!

From the moment we booked the Christian Villa, I knew we were in the best of hands and that this vacation would be unique and incredibly special. When we pulled into the gates, our 4 children ages 25, 22, 22, and 14, just said, "Wow!"...The views are magnificent! The property is modernized with all conveniences you could want, but retains the charm of a true island family home that has been enjoyed for generations. Dr. Christian was in communication with us regularly after we reserved the villa, and wanted to make sure all our needs were met before, during and after our stay. She had juices, wine, soda and plenty of ice stocked in the fridge upon arrival. Her friends, Judith and Ricky, met us at the airport and we followed them in our rented van to the villa. They acclimated us to the island and led us to a grocery store where we could stock up. The beauty of this vacation vs. staying at a resort is that we had a large and beautiful home with our own pool, incredible views, and tremendous privacy. We had the local friends of Dr. Christian that we could call if needed during our stay. We explored at our own pace, ate out when we wanted to, and cooked at the villa when we wanted to. Every evening was spent on the patio enjoying the view and the breezes and just talking. No TV or computer screens (except for the kids picking the next song to play for all of us on their phones). Our kids looked forward to this time, even when we told them they could watch a movie or play a game instead. This time was priceless. The memories that are created in a home are always the most special. The beautiful nature of the house, the spectacular views, and the friendliness of Dr. Christian's friends made this a vacation that my family will remember forever.

The stay was amazing and Daphne was outstanding! We got more than we anticipated staying at this pro

The property was very spacious and accommodating to my family. It has an antique style and plenty of open space. The terrace and views were incredible and the highlight of the entire stay. Daphne makes you feel at home! Transportation directions is difficult for the taxis as even if you tell them the “old governor’s mansion” they still don’t know how to get there. Luckily for us we had Allen as our transportation! The only downside which Daphne warned us was the peacock that poops all over the place and wakes you up around 7am each morning. Outside of that the peacock is harmless and stays out the way. We will be returning to this property instead of staying at the Frenchman Marriott

The View!

I am sorry this review is late. We had to rush back to bad weather, a funeral and other obligations. It just makes the memories of our stay at Christian Villa, so much more memorable. To my first conversation with Cora and my last visit with Daphne, I can’t express how friendly and helpful they were. The property was magnificent and perfect for our group. I loved The View every night and every morning. I would wake up and have my coffee and take it all in before bed. Everyone enjoyed the pool and the kitchen to make some meals. Cora gave me the name of a local chef, and he came in and prepared a fantastic meal. We were celebrating 2 engagements and a birthday and a chance to see family and friends after COVID. Everyone had a great time and I am so glad we had a chance to make dreams come true. Visits to Megan’s Bay, Redhook, Sapphire Beach are memories we won’t soon forget. Thanks for sharing your home and The View with us. I would love to do it all again! Thanks!

Amazing Experience

Premiere view, well appointed and supplied. We had some challenges with technology but Cora's team was very helpful. Being met and led from the airport by Daphne made our Christmas arrival smooth. The view is made possible by climbing steep hills and navigating hairpin turns--insist on a young rental car with good transmission! Highly recommend Christian Villa.

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!

My family and I are so happy that we stayed at this wonderful home. Your wonderful experience here will start even before you arrive at the home. Mrs. Cora reaches out to you before hand and helps arrange anything that you need to help make your stay easier. Mrs. Cora contacted me in advance to help arrange for someone to pre-deliver groceries so we already had food right when we got there. Mrs. Cora also had the kindest friend meet us to check us in. After a long trip in her friend graciously went and picked us up food on the evening of our arrival. The home is beyond amazing as well. The house is incredibly clean and so beautiful. The views of this home are truly the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen. We had such a wonderful experience here. Thank you so much Mrs. Cora
