February 13-20, 2009.
We had the best family vacation!! Love the Elysian Beach Resort. Your condo is great, equipped with everything you need. Went swimming and snorkeling everyday at different beaches. Took the ferry over to St. John, gorgeous.
Thanks again for a wonderful vacation.
Can't wait to come back next year!!

December 20 to December 27, 2008: We had a great Christmas time in St Thomas. Your condo is beautiful, extremely well equipped and in a superb location. We enjoyed the local beaches which was very quiet during the time we were here. Snorkeling around the island was fantastic.
We also visitied the BVI’s – a must seeing since half of our party was British. Virgin Gorda and the other islands were great to see. We also went back to Udder Delight a couple of times – delicious!!!
Our best meal was Christmas day at Hinds’ Restaurant in St John. Otherwise we enjoyed Duffy’s Love Shack. Thanks for a great Caribbean Holiday.

November 22 to November 29, 2008: Our third visit to your wonderful place and it was just as good and relaxing as the first time. You’ve got a little bit of paradise here at the Elysian. We will definitely be back!! In fact we are due back in March.
Finally ate at Budda Sushi. The kids insisted. Despite its outward appearance it was very nice inside and the food and sushi was quite good. Coki Beach is quite the scene but we prefer the serenity of the Elysian beach.
Thanks again for your hospitality.

July 26 to August 2, 2008 - We had a great time at this condo. It is the perfect home base for your travels around St. Thomas and the various surrounding islands. The description in the listing is completely accurate. What they don't tell you is how well the owner has stocked this condo for its guests. We have rented numerous vacation rentals throughout the US and this one is by far the best stocked unit that we have rented. We were surprised to find both soft and hard coolers for us use, as well as blue ice to put in them, (I brought a soft cooler because I did not expect to find one here), snorkeling equipment (we did not bring fins due to the space they would take up in our luggage - no need there are at least 6 sets here of various sizes), DVD's for both adults and kids, all your necessary kitchen utensils - including a blender to make your own tropical drinks right down to chip clips, coffee filters, soft soap, dish soap, etc... With two little girls that are picky eaters, we used the kitchen a lot.
Between the condo, the beach and the pool at this location, we had a great vacation here. The Lins, IL |

July 5 to July 12, 2008: You have an awesome condo! The place is decorated so nice and can’t wait to stay here again.
We enjoyed sightseeing on St Thomas as well as St John. We chartered a boat one day and went island hopping – what an amazing day.
Really great food here – Robert’s and Ainsley’s are great. We found the best sushi place ever – “Shinsen”. To top off a great trip was that the other couple here with us – my sister and her boyfriend – got engaged on the beach here at the Elysian!! Very exciting. Thanks again for an awesome vacation.

June 21-28, 2008. We had the best family vacation ever! Fantastic accomodations at an excellent location. Went swimming and snorkeling every day at different beaches. Really enjoyed Molly Malone's,Ainsley's pizza, Duffy's Love Shack, Udder Delight and Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke.
Took the Breakaway excursion for snorkeling, BVI, and the Baths of Virgin Gorda and we'd highly recommend it.
Very relaxing and enjoyable. We would love to visit again.

June 8 to June 15, 2008: Thank you for our comfortable stay in your condo – so clean and nicely decorated. Having a beach and pool so close was great. Stayed here with my daughter, son-in-law, his sister, a two year old, and five month old grandson.
We enjoyed Coral World and recommend it to all – fascinating sea life and coral reef. Watched a “fish feed” – fed stingrays, petted baby sharks, and saw a sea lion show. Also had photo-ops in the larakeet (tropical bird) area where we fed nectar to them and they landed on us (especially hats!).
Also went to Havensight and rode the sky cable up the mountain (a 7-min ride). What a breath-taking view. The shopping was very reasonable, lots of neat souvenirs that are small and easy to take on plane ride home. A parrot and other tropical birds show was very cute, too.
Also went to St John - Truck Bay – really cool snorkeling close to shore. Shopped at Mongoose Junction – loved it. There was a fine Deli sandwich, salad shop in air conditioning (Yes!).

April 10 to April 17, 2008: Our vacation was fantastic! This unit is absolutely beautiful – everything we needed – we’d like to come back again!
We had a fun day at St John (took the car ferry over) – driving over there is quite the adventure – go to Skinny Legs, great burgers and drinks. Also enjoyed Latitude 18 and Duffys. Spent a lovely day at Magen’s Bay and definitely stop for milkshakes at Udder Delight.
We love St Thomas, everyone is warm and friendly. The grounds at the Elysian are gorgeous – this is the best place to stay. Thank you!

March 7 to March 14, 2008: We truly enjoyed our visit. Your condo and the view is great. We really enjoyed the beach. We took a trip to Magen’s Bay and loved it. Also we took a sunset sail on the “Fury” out of the Marriott Frenchmen’s Reef – “Great”. Found Latitude 18, had the best Nacho’s. Other highlights were shopping and the tram ride to Paradise Point. Thanks again for a great vacation.
PS: Wish the cable connection worked better.

February 14 to February 24, 2008: Your condo is absolutely fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Our children loved their own private little loft area and we loved the layout of the place. Everything is decorated beautifully and it’s very comfortable. We’re so glad we found it!
Many highlights of our trip included chartering a boat (the Sea Nymph) and exploring St John and all its lovely beaches, sailing to the Baths on Virgin Gorda on Horizons II boat, discovering that fabulous private beach off of Route 322 that only the locals know about, and dinner at the lovely Havana Blue restaurant in Frenchmen’s Reef. It was absolutely beautiful.
The children enjoyed the pool and Ainsleys and we all relaxed and had a really wonderful time. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts and for your lovely condo. It was a real pleasure!

January 29 to February 12, 2008: We have been visiting St Thomas since 1989, and this our fourth stay at the Elysian. You have done an outstanding job on Units 318 & 319! We have certainly felt “at home” here. It’s convenient for the beach, Robert’s, and Ainsley’s. Definitely it is our favorite place of all those we have rented in the past.
This was our friends’, Jody and Vann, first visit to the Caribbean. They want you to know how impressed they are with your condo, the Elysian, and St Thomas. We are looking forward to returning next year – same time, same place.

December 27, 2007 to January 3, 2008: Its been a great vacation. Your place is wonderful and so is the location. We’ll recommend it to all our family & friends. Future guests, Robert’s Restaurant, right on premises, is the best on the island! Be sure & see St John’s Trunk Bay – beautiful. Again thanks – we’ll definitely be back and stay here. It’s the best complex on the island. Happy New Year!

December 13 to December 17, 2007: Happy Holidays! I met my parents, aunt, uncle and cousin here at St Thomas for a pre-Christmas celebration. What fun! I stayed in this condo, upstairs in the loft; while my parents took the master bedroom downstairs. We all commented on how great we slept. We took walks along the beach every morning. This was quite the special treat – I will never forget my first trip and first stay here in St Thomas. I look forward to staying here again next year. Cheers!

November 17 to November 24, 2007: This condo is as lovely and comfortable as your other place! Once again we had a relaxing vacation in paradise, this time with our children. We found the snorkeling at Coki Beach to be spectacular. Good thing we weren’t put off by the crowds and the parking lot there! Latitude 18, a sailor’s bar and restaurant on the water and at the end of a private road close to here, was a lot of fun. Good food, drink, music – at great prices. We’ll be back. Thanks!

November 9 to November 16, 2007: Just got married on Magen’s Bay!! We have 60 of our closest family & friends here. What an amazing & unforgettable time. We rented an awesome boat and took a trip to the BVI’s. Soggy Dollar is so much fun. Looking forward to doing it again next year.
