| My wife and I stayed in this condo in August of 09. It has a great location near to red hook. The property has 2 great restaurants one a bit more upscale and one that is very casual. The unit is huge with tons of space. Very clean and nicely decorated. I would definitely stay there again. |

what a wonderful vacation we
enjoyed at your 2BR unit at the Elysian last week. The unit it self
was perfect, with more than enough room for us. Everything was very
clean and we had everything we needed at hand so we could just relax
and enjoy each day. We enjoyed the full day snorkel tour which we
signed up for right at the Elysian, and we also took the ferry to St.
John one afternoon, and stayed there for dinner. We tried a few
places for dinner, including the Agave Terrace, which has a beautiful
setting high up on a cliff overlooking the water. For our last 2 nights, we stayed right at the Elysian at our 2 favorites - Robert's and Ainsley's. Each day we considered heading off to explore other beaches on St. Thomas,
but we had trouble tearing ourselves away from the beach at the Elysian, where we had everything we needed - good snorkeling, a cool breeze, nice shady places spots under the palm trees, and the pool nearby.
We look forward to a future vacation on St. Thomas, and we wouldn't
think about staying anywhere else. |

| We stayed in this condo 6/15/09 and had a wonderful time. The condo had plenty of space for the four of us. It was especially nice to have two queen beds in the second bedroom. We really enjoyed the pool area, it was very nice. The beach was okay, not real fantastic. We enjoyed the two restaurants at the resort, Roberts American Grille & Ainsleys. This condo is in an excellent area. Just a short drive to Red Hook. We took a ferry over to St. Johns and also chartered a sail boat with Ike Witt. We recommend a visit to Trunks Bay in St. John for great snorkeling and to Coki Beach in St. Thomas. |

Wanted to let you know what a great time we had on St Thomas and in your condo. First of all the place was great, and roomy, and we especially enjoyed that third bathroom with the five of us! The location of the unit is also great, with the view of the water and pool too. I can see why you choose that spot. We went to several beaches on St Thomas (Sapphire, Coki, Magen's Bay, Secret Harbor) as well as Cowpet Bay. I think the Elysian Resort is the best of all the resorts on those beaches for sure. We booked two "excursions" while we were there....the first was a day sail with Jester out of Point Pleasant which was a slow sail over to Caneel Bay and Honeymoon Beach to snorkel with lunch on board afterwards and then a slow sail back to Point Pleasant. We wish they would have stopped at least once more, but we'll know better to ask up front next time. In between the excursions, we took the car ferry over to St John and snorkeled Trunk Bay and drove by Cinnamon and Maho Bays and on to Annenberg Sugar Mill, Coral Bay and back to Cruz Bay for a late lunch and souvenir shopping. Our second excursion, and last day on St Thomas, we took a private charter motor boat with Big Blue Excursions out of Red Hook (Dock A) that was excellent. Capt Bradley Wilson took us to Congo Cay for a drift snorkel, and on the Leinster Bay and Water Lemon Cay on St John for more snorkeling. Then we headed to Jost Van Dyke, to Great Bay to see Foxy's, clear customs, over to Foxy's Taboo for lunch, and then to the Soggy Dollar Bar for Painkillers and T-shirts. Great day! Great trip!

| We vacationed in St. Thomas 5/9 - 5/14 and had an excellent trip. We rented through VRBO and stayed in Condo #2. Cowpet Bay is great. Very beautiful and extremely relaxing. The Elysian amenities are really nice. The pool is fantastic. The condo itself was perfect. 2 Bedrooms, 3 baths, and the fold out murphy bed accomodated my party of 6 adults and two infants no problem. The condo was stocked with everything needed for a great vacation. Location is great as Red Hook is just a hop and a skip. One work of warning, please find Kmart and Cost U Less as soon as you arive in St. Thomas. The marina market is convenient, but the cost savings for the week would have been immense had we done the bulk of our shopping at Cost U Less. Did a lot of dining. Iggie's on Bolongo Bay was so much fun. I will definately vacation in St. Thomas again and will definately stay in either of this particular owner's 2 condo's at the Elysian. |
