We travel with same friends every winter, this year we spent a week at Villa Fantasia on St. Thomas USVI. We wished it could have been longer. Service was good, Mike the caretaker met us in town and led us up to the Villa. The house is amazing, views from every single spot! Rooms large and airy, though we didn't spend much time in the house as the weather was great and the pool area and sitting areas outside were very comfortable. The house is atop Cabrita point and extremely private. There are panoramic views of St. John's and the British Virgin Islands and the harbor in Red Hook down below. The bedrooms are comfortable however it is strange how no doors seemed to be able to be locked. It was a little disconcerting the few times we left the villa to take excursions to neighboring islands not to be able to feel we left our belongings secured. There were safes in bedrooms, but no keys, which was strange.
The town of Red Hook had some nice restaurants, however most evenings we BBQ'd at villa as we just wanted to relax and were not anxious to leave the views and drive the winding roads in the dark, especially if we had a couple of cocktails. The other fact that made driving a little difficult was that they drive on the opposite side of the road than we do in the States.
The kitchen and bathrooms could use some updating, the appliances seemed old and tired, we had a problem where the dishwasher broke - which Mike took care of as soon as we let him know, but then the stove went down. For $4500 week that shouldn't happen.
But all in all we had a wonderful time and would recommend this villa.

Words cannot do justice to Villa Fantasia. We were up for every sunrise and only missed one sunset during our sons wedding reception. We saw that sunset from the reception area but didn't have the good seats we did at Villa Fanatasia. Our son also rented the sister villa Garden of Eden much to our joy and surprise. One morning we sat transfixed as we watched a whale make it's way through the water in front of us WOW

With all those great reviews already posted for this Amazing Villa, I really feel I have little to add. So I am going to start off with the one and only negative; since this Villa has windows everywhere, it has some insects. not a lot of them, just enough to scare my insect-phobia wife once in a while. with that said, she seems to adapt after 2 days. so let's talk about the good things:

- The new Jet Spa is amazing. has an amazing view of the harbor and city lights and sits 4 people comfortably.
- ALL 3 bedrooms have amazing ocean view. all are very spacious with king size beds, TV, and sofas
- The living room upstairs has a million dollar view. I am a real estate broker in Manhattan and I have seen multi-multi million dollar apts with park and city views. but Nothing, absolutly nothing come even close to Villa Fantasia. I was on a ferry to st. john and a couple of tourist were talking about the amazing view this villa must have just by looking at it from the boat. i didn't have the heart to tell them that i am staying there, but it did make me feel like a million dollars.
- The pool is great, but we only used it once. we were out to the ocean early and came back late.
-my parents enjoyed the sun rise on the deck.
-the industrial size BBQ grill is amazing! and Mike changed even gave me a full bottle of gas!
- the road is really not that bad! we had 6 people and a van, it was rocking a little. don't let the other review scare you. if you can rent a jeep, go for it; if not, a 1988 corola will still do the job fine.
-the caretake Mike is amazing. he changed the spa water for us and spreed bugs when we were out during the day. he helped us connect to the internet and gave us direction on where to get catches of the day.
so is it worth it? yes. absolutly. i strongly reommend this to any honeymooners and family travelers. i will take my kids back again to villa fantasia!

Just got back from our first (but hopefully not last) trip to Villa Fantasia. We were three couples and the layout/accomodations were perfect. The views are just breathtaking - and the reason we will return! The photos do not do it justice. The beds were all just updated to kings and are very comfortable. The caretakers - Mike and Hillary - were great and very helpfull. The location was suburb - only 10 minutes to Redhook and the road leading to the villa is not as bad as some made it out to be. I do however recommend a jeep and Discount Car Rental was great. The bathrooms could use a little updating and the home is a little dated but I would highly recommend this villa.
