It was so great in 2008, we came again in 2009

I have stayed 3 yrs in a row apr' 07,may' 08 and april .09 at the "Harbor House in the lower apt located on the pool deck of the property . This luxury 1 bd apt has a well appointed kitchen with refrigerator & stove top, fully A/C; separate bedroom with comfortable queen bed with bathroom & shower. The apt. is well furnished, sat tv, internet, and is very private & close in to beaches & Red Hook. I enjoyed the location & view overlooking American Yacht Harbor. I liked walking on the Park Road which fronts the property & Yacht Harbor. As I am an amateur musician , I loved to play & sing at the open mike night at Latitude 18 Beach Bar which is located just down the road.
The apartment is quiet, private, and well located. I had a car for some of the stay but at the Harbor House Apt. I didn't really need it.
Also, I had occasion to join other guests (staying upstairs) on Capt Mikes boat "True Companion " to The British Virgin Islands .We snorkled and returned to the White Sand Beach of Jost Van Dyke , this was a truly memorable day.
I would highly recommend staying at the Harbor House.

This was my 6th visit to St. Thomas and my stay at Harbour House made it perfect. The home far exceeded my expectations: the kitchen was well stocked and made cooking dinners a real joy; the double master suites are equally comfortable. I liked the "Blue Suite" because I could lie in bed at night and enjoy the lights across the harbor. When I first walked into the house I fell in love with the wall of glass in the great room that offers expansive views of the the harbor. Because this was a two-week "working" vacation, I depended upon good internet service - and I wasn't disappointed. The deck was the perfect place to sit in the morning and read my email and I enjoyed lounging poolside almost every day. Secret Harbor is a nifty beach that is an easy walk from the house, and the park road just outside the back gate is a mile loop - perfect for walking and running. The Harbour House is very well maintained, with lovely landscaping, soothing color scheme, and furnishings that have been chosen with care and talent. I appreciated the subdued colors and the departure from the usual "Margaritaville" interior design sensibility. This is an excellent choice for families with well-behaved children, couples travelling together, and large groups of friends. I recommend it without reservation. By the way, if you have the opportunity to charter a boat - be sure to engage Chris Lampe or Captain Mike to captain your boat. Both have a commanding knowledge of the entire BVI and USVI area and can also take you on some amazing dives. The location of Harbor House makes it convenient for jaunts to St. John, visits to area resturants (I recommmend the Buddha Bar for sushi lovers - it's just a short drive from the Harbor House, as well as Latitude 18 which is just down the road), and equally accessible to Meagan's Bay and Charlotte Amalie (though why anyone would want to go there is beyond me). Visit Harbour House - it's the perfect antidote to stress.

We just returned home from our week at Harbor House. We had a great vacation with our kids (ages 8 and 13) and enjoyed our first visit to St. Thomas. Harbor House provides a beautiful and spacious floorplan, luxurious furnishings, and was ideal for our family. We especially appreciated the upper deck where we indulged in leisurely breakfasts taking in the view of the yacht harbor, and lower deck with private pool. We were grateful for the use of the gas grill and well-stocked kitchen also. The location is very convenient, close to grocery store and restaurants, and made the short ferry ride to enjoy St. John beaches super easy. Our favorite part of the trip was a private boat tour with Capt. Mike (a great tour guide) who shared with us some of what the British Virgins has to offer. We will definitely return to St. Thomas some day, and would enjoy another stay at Harbor House.

We stayed at Harbor House over Christmas week with our kids, ages 22, 21 & 17 and had a great time. It's location in Red Hook is great for eating out and grocery shopping, ferry to St John. The owner was more than accommodating and even gave us the use of his car for the week. Included in the rental was a day trip to Jost Van Dyck with the owners son, Chris, as the captain. The weather was a little rough but he was very capable, calm & friendly. It was the highlight of the week. Chris lives in an apt downstairs and was helpful upon our arrival. Since we got there on Christmas day he got us a few groceries to start our week.
We went to different beaches every day (watch the local paper & avoid Magen's Bay on heavy cruise ship days!). Secret Harbor Beach has a nice beachfront restaurant but the beach is disappointing. Had dinner at the East End Cafe which was fine. Don't bother going to Poet's Restaurant in Red Hook, we had terrible service there. Took the ferry to St John which was a fun thing to do on our only rainy day.
The house was new and clean and very comfortable. The layout of the house was perfect for our family - kids on one side and parents on the other with living space in center. The kitchen was well equipped. We didn't use the pool. Only disappointment was that we didn't know the house next door was under construction. It's almost done so it shouldn't be a problem for future renters.
I would definitely recommend this house to a friend and hope to stay there again ourselves in the future.

Our family loved it's stay at the Harbor House in
Red Hook for the 4th of July week. The location
was ideal for our daily trips to the east St. Thomas
and St. John beaches. We appreciated the
accessibility to Red Hook restaurants/shops and
the St. John ferry. The house was beautiful inside
and out. We enjoyed the private pool more than
words can say - all family members looked forward
to using it every day. Harbor House had fantastic
views of the yacht harbor. Landscape around the
home was lovely. We genuinely felt "at home" for
the week because everything we needed was
available for our use; washer/dryer, cooking staples
and equipment, vacuum, cleaning supplies, beach
chairs/bags. This home is obviously new and
extremely well cared for by owner/property
managers - HIGH quality linens, furniture,
hardware. Though we travel a few times a year to
the islands/Mexico, home rental was new to our
family and we strongly believe that our vacation
dollars were well spent. It would be hard for any
other property to live up to our standards based on
this Harbor House stay. Capt. Lampe was great to
work with. We felt confident even before we arrived
at Harbor House that this vacation would be a good
experience thanks to the positive, helpful
communications with Mike. Our family would love
to return to St. Thomas and would definitely like to
be guests of the Harbor House again.

My fiance' and I were down in the Virgin Islands April 17 - 24, 2008 and we stayed in a beautiful new home called the Harbor House, which overlooked Red Hook Harbor. I would recommend the Harbor House to anyone! We stayed with another couple and we each had our own bedroom/bathroom suite. Each bedroom suite had access to the outside patio. The home had a big swimming pool, which was wonderful to jump into after being at one of the many beautiful beaches all day. The house is located only one street away from a National Park which was perfect for my morning jog. The island has so much to offer, we were never at a loss for something to do! The Virgin Islands and Harbor House should be your next vacation destination. We will definitely be going back!

St. Thomas, especially the East end is our favorite vacation spot. It was a special birthday for me and Thanksgiving, and I wanted to celebrate with my family in St. Thomas.
There were 5 adults and 2 children. Harbor House offered us everything. Beautiful views, a luxury home environment that felt private, cozy, and spacious all at the same time. Inside or outside cooking that was easy to use, even though it was state of the art and ample sitting was available if we chose to eat inside, outside or by the pool. We were in walking distance to casual as well as elegant dining. One evening we took the ferry which is in walking distance from Harbor House to have dinner on St. John. We made only one trip to downtown St.Thomas, as Red Hook offers everything that a person needs and is so much more accessible. We took morning walks in the adjacent National Park, and sat on the benches right next to the ocean and enjoyed morning sun. Beaches on the East end rate in the top 10 of best in the world, we could walk or ride in any direction to reach a beach. Harbor House offered our family the opportunity to be together for large BBQ's on the deck, swimming in the waterfall pool at dusk with the grandkids, and a view all day long in any direction that was breathtaking. The Harbor House was like a home away from home in a setting that was beyond beautiful. My kids and grandkids loved it and want to go back with us each year.
