Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Anna's Retreat

Our stay at Nanyamka’s place was really nice. She was kind, proactive about things like power outages, and helpful. The unit is new with lots of indoor space. Other reviewers mentioned that the interior is dark—it is true that there is not a lot of natural light (all windows do look out onto a rock wall or storage space), but we weren’t there during the day, so it was fine for us. There are amazing beaches not that far away so we spent our daylight hours there! The exterior has a separate and shared porch with amazing views. There were a few amenities we needed to purchase like dish soap, toilet paper, cooking oil, and Cascade, but we used them during our week-long stay, so it was worth it. Like other guests, I cannot recommend strongly enough renting a car—we got a Jeep and are so glad we did. It is a bit remote. We are not used to such steep roads, sharp curves, and avoiding huge potholes, so the Jeep made our whole stay on this island so much easier and safer-feeling.

The location is excellent within an easy drive to Red Hook and several beaches. All the necessities were included such as beach chairs, towels and a washer and dryer. The complex has a gym, a small pool and is walkable to two restaurants.

We loved this condo. Well appointed kitchen including a dishwasher and all the appliances you could ask for. Washer and dryer were very useful after a day at the beach . Everything was so close that we didn’t feel we needed a car (even tho you get a dedicated parking space). Shared taxis to the beaches are just 5 mins walk away. We appreciated use of the included beach chairs which were easy to carry on trips .

Had wonderful time great place thanks.

Loved staying at Lime Tree! We stayed at 2 places in St. Thomas. This one, and one at Sapphire Beach. Lime Tree has a more secluded beach. It's small, but beautiful. If you're more into amazing view than getting in the ocean, this is great! There are some reefs around to snorkle (rent from the shop at the resort), but other than relaxing and eating, there's not much to do immediately around. The grounds were kept very clean. I would definitely stay here again for a lazy, relaxed retreat.

Absolutely gorgeous view! From bed I could see the marina and the water. So close to red hook. 5 dollar taxi to town and back. 100 percent would stay again! And he let me check in early! Obssesed! Walking distance from Sapphire

We had 2 couples staying here and it was great! The condo itself is well set up and very clean. They even let us drop off our bags early the day we checked in which we really appreciated. The pool and tennis courts are great! FYI we did have to bring our own tennis rackets and balls and there is no place to rent them, but Ana communicated this to us when we asked. The porch was also great for hanging out. The beach at the condo is nice and other beautiful beaches are a short drive away. It is about a 5 minute drive into red hook town. You definitely need a car here though, as it is not a walkable island and there is not much that you can walk to. The roads have no sidewalk or shoulder and walking around the main roads here would be very dangerous. There is plenty of parking within this condo area. Overall we had a great stay and recommend this condo!! Just definitely get a car so you can go explore the rest of the island and get to restaurants!

We had an amazing stay, thanks to Candice! From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us warmly and took the time to walk us through all the details of the house, making sure we felt right at home. Not only was the home exactly as described, but Candice also went above and beyond by sharing the best spots to visit in St. Thomas, which made our trip even more special. Her communication was seamless throughout our stay—she was always quick to respond and incredibly helpful. We also ran into a minor issue with our booking, and Candice handled it professionally and efficiently, ensuring everything was resolved smoothly.

Beautiful location and condo. Beds and linens were very comfortable. Couch was clean and kitchen felt very clean. Gym was highlight, great updated equipment. Beach was stunning and loved snorkeling off the beach at the condo.

My husband and I stayed for the month of April 2025. The condo was spacious, clean and well equipped. We had our grown kids visit us during the stay. The space accommodates 4. We had our own bedroom with connected bath, which was very spacious. The bed was super comfortable. On the other side was a nice murphy bed and another bathroom and nice kitchen. Also two large private balconies. Elllsbeth and her team were very responsive and courteous. Acces to Elysian resort with a beautiful pool. You are on the beach, on a beautiful harbor with great views and snorkeling. Very peaceful location. Ritz next door. Close to many restaurants and St John Ferry. The on-sight restaurants were both very good. Overall a great experience. Would come back. Highly recommended.

This property is wonderful. The resort staff is amazing, the room was perfect, and everything we wanted to do was only a taxi cab ride (or short walk) away. We will definitely look for Janee’s place again when we come back to St. Thomas!

Location and Views are great, the unit had all we needed. We hade an amazing time!!

Highly recommended, Live Suite made my last minute stay phenomenal... Thank you once again....

PLACE WAS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED AND PICTURES WE ACCURATE. AWESOME VIEWS AND LOCATION. WE REQUESTED A EARLY CHECK IN DUE TO A EARLY FLIGHT AND WERE ABLE TO GET IN THAT MORNING. A COUPLE OF POWER OUTAGES WHICH ARE NO FAULT OF THE OWNERS IF YOU TRAVEL TO THE US VIRGIN YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT WAPA. GREAT PLACE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! THANK YOU FOR HOSTING US.

Tracy’s place is perfect! Walking distance to great restaurants in Cruz, the ferry, and the taxi stand. Could not have chosen a better area for our first trip to STJ. Her welcome guide is super helpful and the condo has beach chairs, coolers, towels, etc. so you can pack light. Would definitely recommend having a few things delivered from the grocery store (we used Dolphin Market but it is walkable). Don’t miss a happy hour at Beach Bar!

This home was well appointed and very comfortable for our family of six. We loved the convenience of being able to walk to restaurants and stores and felt very safe doing so. The kitchen was well stocked and they had plenty of beach accessories available too. Absolutely loved the view. It was stunning!

Extraordinary! That is exactly how I describe my experience of staying at the extraordinarily beautiful home belonging to Shirley and Ken. Everything about Shamalie deserves the highest accolades from the home’s spectacular and elegant design, cleanliness, swimming pool, and top-notch amenities to the convenient location with breathtaking views of the harbor. Shirley is the consummate host. Personable, friendly, attentive, communicative and provides outstanding service to ensure a comfortable stay. It’s a 5-star plus property. I’m designating Shamalie as my official “go to”AirBNB whenever I need a home away from home on the beautiful island of St. Thomas. I can’t wait to return!

Incredible place to spend time with your family! One of the best vacays. Hosts were wonderful and very responsive!

We loved our stay at Sunset Watch Villa in Nail Bay Estates, Virgin Gorda BVI. The unit was comfortable and well equipped. We loved the pool, outdoor sitting areas with great ocean views, and steps down to the private beach. With a rental car, we were within easy reach of Savannah Bay — our favorite beach on the island —Leverick Bay, Spanish Town, and the Baths. Sonny and Ajit were very responsive to all our questions and needs. We definitely recommend Sunset Watch Villa to anyone visiting Virgin Gorda or BVI and hope to come back in the future!

Pura Vida was lovely! The entire home was spotless. The views and the outdoor pool was our favorite. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. The grounds were beautiful and interesting. The ruins had its own little history lesson and we loved the shell book and its history to previous owners of the home. We couldn’t have had a better experience. Thank you so much!

This was an amazing home. I tend to expect high standers. This home meet my expectations. We have traveled around the world and mostly stay in Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton. This home was just the same, comfy beds, lounging for Netflix and a gorgeous view! Book it now!!!

10 out of 10, not only was the place amazing, but K was the best host. She checked in with us and gave us all the information we needed to enjoy our stay. K was super accommodating as well. The views were absolutely stunning! One of the best sunrises I’ve ever witness, and the cool thing was, you didn’t have to go anywhere to see it, you literally just walked out on the balcony and there it was. Place was extremely clean and well organized, pool in the back is perfect for a relax and chill kind of day. The location is on the north end of the island, you can walk to the local market, we would get groceries there. We went to Sib’s, bar/restaurant close by, one of the oldest restaurants on the island I believe. The food was great! If you want a super private, check out for a couple of days, to rest and relax, this is your place. Do not hesitate, go ahead and book it. Thanks again to K for being the best host and allowing Sami and I to stay at your place. We will be back for sure!

Lynn’s place was fantastic. The kitchen was truly amazing. I have never had a kitchen so well stocked. It was excellent. Everything you could ever need. The. Entire place was perfect.

We are an incredible stay at the Hills. The property was exactly as described, beautifully appointed, exceptionally clean with every amenity. The views were amazing. The staff was very helpful in arranging for grocery delivery... We will definitely return.
