We stayed at the Crystal Place going and coming from the BVIs. Ronnie the owner meet us at the airport took us to the ferry thus saving taxi fares. This is a great old house full of charm and the feel of the Islands. Ronnie is a gem full of knowldedge and he makes you feel like family. He has... More

We've stayed in the Crystal Palace twice upon returning from charters in the BVI and have found it a great way to punctuate a great time with a relaxing overnight stay at one of St. Thomas's historic residences. Ronnie, the proprieter, has punctually fetched us from the ferry terminal upon our arrival and instantly made us feel welcome, and he... More

The USVI and BVI make a fine vacation, but the stories you tell your friends may be the same ones they tell you: "How 'bout that Foxy? What a character!" "St. John's really nice." It's unlikely that your friends will have had the benefit of staying in a historic house or the running commentary provided by its proprietor, Ronnie. Part... More

From the moment Ronnie picked us up at the airport, to the time he dropped us off at the ferry dock, we had a great time at his B&B. The rooms were very clean and spacious, and there was a great view of the bay, with boats of all sizes coming and going. The informal bar was perfect, allowing for... More

Thank you for your review. There must be some misunderstanding in what happened. I did raise my prices and protected you at the old price. I reviewed your bill and find it to show the old price, plus taxes and the less than tree nights stay charge.Both were and are clearly specified and explained on my web site. I may... More

We spent a night here before heading off to St. John, which is what quite a few people seem to do. But next visit we will be sure to stay at the Crystal Palace longer! It was definitely our kind place...very interesting story to the mansion and friendly, enjoyable people. Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The other rooms... More

Ronny was great, he goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and is a wealth of information. The Room was clean and comfortable, the AC worked great. The location is close enough that we were able to walk to dinner and Ronny picked us up from the airport and delivered us to the ferry. I would stay... More

As others have said, the owner goes out of his way to make sure you are taken care of. He'll pick you up and drop you off at the airport or nearby ferry, which is a huge bonus. We stayed in the two rooms that have a private bath. The upstairs room was large and comfortable, but the dogs were... More

Owner, Ronnie Lockhart is a wealth of knowledge and humor to boot. Like others have said: Nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. I usually stop in once a year while I'm at the Charteryacht shows. You'll enjoy it. I do.

This B&B is right downtown with a view of the harbor. You can walk downtown easily. This is an old house. You are treated like family, and we were very at home. Nothing fancy but well done.
