Great Family Vacation

Left on 01/31/2013 for a stay in January 2013

We just return from St Thomas and Nancy's lovely condo. We traveled with our three grown children, son-in-law, and 2 young grandchildren.

The condo was spotless, well-maintained, and its location within the resort property was ideal. We had plenty of room for all to gather together, yet also maintain some sense of privacy within the unit. We loved the 3 large balconies...The Elysian's small beach was very quiet and relaxing and there was always plenty available seating, both in the sun and shade.

We traveled to Magen's Bay and took the car ferry to St. John (Trunk Bay), which we would recommend highly. The only thing we felt that was missing from the condo was a couple of beach chairs that we could have used at both of the beaches we visited. But again, the condo was very well equipped - sand toys for the kids, even sun tan lotion!!

Nancy was great to work with and answered all our pre-trip questions. Her restaurant recommendations, info on grocery store locations and advice on car rentals was very helpful.

We would highly recommend Nancy's condo to all...we had a wonderful trip!

Already saving for a return trip!!!!!

Condos is everything we expected and more. Clean, spacious, and well appointed. All necessary equipment required for a week stay. Everything was in working order, newly updated and clean. Nancy and Chris were great hosts and actually stopped by during our visit, very nice meeting both of you. I have stayed at several condos from this website and this was by far the cleanest, nicest condo yet. Buildings and grounds are very well maintained, beach was clean, raked every morning. Cowpet was a great quiet location close enough to Red Hook and Far enough away from Charlotte Amalie.

The pictures are exactly how the condo looks!  Everything went just as we were told by Nancy and the condo was clean and well kept.  Five of us went for a week and we all would go back again and stay here. LOVED IT!!  We recommend renting a vehicle to get around and can honestly say driving on the left side is not that difficult.  On Sunday morning at the beach hut they serve snacks and drinks and explain the different island tours that are available.  We signed up for three and they were more than worth the cost.  The day trip to the British Virgin Islands (BVI) on the Breakaway was the bomb!! It's highly recommended.

Pictures don't do justice

Pictures don't do the justice of seeing this beautiful unit in person! From the bedrooms, to the view - lovely! The unit was clean and very tastefully decorated. No detail was spared! Will definitely stay here again!

Great Vacation in St. Thomas

Left on 01/09/2013 for a stay in December 2012

Our family two adults and two twenty year old boys stayed at Nancy's place in Elysian Beach. We had a great time and the condo was perfect for us. There was so much room, much better than staying in a cramped hotel. The bathrooms need an updating but the rest of the condo is in very good condition. The beach was nice, however the view was slightly obstructed by boats docked beyond the swimming area. Beach and sand chairs were always available. My suggestion is to rent a jeep (roads are narrow and steep)and bring a gps. We booked a boat trip from the hut on the beach at the condo. Gina was so helpful and we had so much fun. We also went on a great scuba diving trip which was booked at Secret Harbour beach. Overall a fantastic vacation. Thanks Nancy!!!

Perfect Place for a Family

We had a wonderful time in St.Thomas staying at Nancy's condo at the Elysian Beach resort! She was so easy to work with and provided lots of useful information about the surrounding areas before we got there. When we arrived, the condo was very clean and the essentials were provided to get you started. Even though it rained a few days while we were there, we were so grateful to have all the space! The kids had their own little haven up in the loft and the master bedroom was huge too! There was plenty of room for everyone and everything. We enjoyed dinner out on the upper deck and many meals on the lower deck. The view was beautiful!! We all enjoyed the pool and all the amenities that come with staying at a resort too. We had a great time!

Wonderful Time

Wonderful Time

Left on 01/08/2013 for a stay in December 2012

Had a great stay, the place was large and roomy with a beautiful view. It had all the little touches that made it a perfect stay. Would absolutely rent and recommend this to others.

Great Condo

We have stayed in Nancy's C-unit condo for 9 days and really loved this place. The view is awesome, both from the bedroom and the living room. The rooms are large and tastefully furnished, the bed is comfortable, kitchen is well equipped, TV and Internet all work fine. AC units are upgraded so they are efficient and quiet, unlike most others at the Elysian. In a word, all the comforts of home transported to a beautiful Caribbean beach. The location is great as well – only a few minutes drive to Red Hook and only a couple of steps to Ritz. Caribbean Fish Market, which opened in Jan 2012, is located right at the Elysian and is a great option for dinner. The chef serves innovative fish and seafood dishes using mostly local ingredients. Texas Pit Barbeque in Red Hook is another great choice. And, of course, you can book a fishing charter and cook your own catch, like we did for a couple dinners. Nancy is great to work with – she provides clear instructions and is very responsive to questions, making the logistics easy.

I could never say it any better!

I just found this on Frommers!  I could never describe it any better!

Elysian Beach Resort Review

The setting is a Caribbean cliché, overlooking its own secluded yacht-filled cove and private white-sand beach. This .. resort on Cowpet Bay, a 30-minute drive from Charlotte Amalie, is imbued with a certain European resort chic. If you seek tranquillity and seclusion without all the razzle-dazzle of other East End competitors, stay here. The beautiful white-sand beach is another compelling reason to choose this place. There are free shuttles to Charlotte Amalie and Magens Bay Beach, should you decide to leave. The thoughtfully planned bedrooms contain balconies, and 14 offer sleeping lofts that are reached by a spiral staircase. The decor is tropical, with .. furnishings, ceiling fans, and natural-wood ceilings.
