These condos are modern,clean, on a great private beach

You can't go wrong staying at Cowpet Bay and the Elysian is beautiful and private. Nancy has bought 3 room entire floors and turned them into villas with 2 bedrooms and a great room with full kitchen. It actually cost us less to pay airfare from Washington DC for 6 adults and rent this unit than it costs to rent a large oceanfront at Nags Head NC, and this place doesn't have jellyfish. We absolutely will return.

Spacious, convenient location

My family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children ages 10 and 6) stayed in this condo following 4 days on a catamaran cruising the BVI's. After living in such cramped quarters (with 6 of my in-laws) it was so great to move into such a spacious condo! We did a lot of cooking in, and the kitchen had everything we needed. My kids enjoyed the board games and the resort's resident cats and iguanas! The resort is very conveniently located to Red Hook, so only a 15-minute ferry ride over to St. John. I very much liked the "small town" feel of this side of the island, compared with the bustle of Charlotte amalie. Snorkeling was quite good right off the Elysian beach, and the concierge was able to recommend several other good places nearby. Food and service at the beach bar were great too!

Paradise Found at the Elysian

Bravo to the owners of our beachfront condo at the Elysian! The condo was spacious, clean and very affordable. I traveled with six young adults to attend a wedding at the nearby Ritz Carlton. Walking to the larger Ritz Carlton's beach (all beaches are open to the public on St. Thomas) was just a 2 minute affair. It was one of the best trips of my life largely due to our stay at this lovely condo. Waking up to see Caribbean blue from my balcony lifted me from the doldrums of the winter. The supporting staff were gracious and always helpful. There are 2 restaurants on the premises, both offering delicious fare. LOVED the *Z* cocktails at the poolside bar. Being on a tight budget, it was wonderful having a fully equipped kitchen to make a few easy meals in. In addition, the Elysian is very close to Red Hook, where we enjoyed several evenings out on the town. I hope to make visiting the Elysian a tradition in our family. My thanks to the owners, who have offered their home to we winter-weary travelers!

We just got back yesterday from a one-week stay at Nancy's unit #238465. The kitchen was very modern with all updated appliances and every utensil you could possibly need. Beds were comfortable, the property quiet at night. The upstairs was even cool enough to not have the air on at night and we slept comfortably. The air conditioning and washer and dryer were high efficiency (QUIET). Pool towels for exchange every day was nice and simple -- as we did a couple all day excursions. Simply pickup new towels when the office opens and you're set for the day.

This was our first time in St. Thomas and we could not have been happier with the condo or Elysian Beach. The condo was very clean with anything you would need supplied in the kitchen. Pictures very accurate. Everything went so smoothly from signing the contract to getting our keys. The beach is very private. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation.

Great Time at the Elysian

We have stayed at many condo's on St. Thomas and this was by far the most wonderful. The condo itself is beautifully furnished, the kitchen well-equipped and the views of the beach and surrounding area were good. This condo had a washer/dryer and this was a huge plus as we swam, snorkeled and did a day of diving so always had wet towels and bathing suits. The beach and swimming pool were fabulous and having a few bars and restaurants right there was also a plus. Lastly, we kept the front door to the condo open with the screen across and opened the deck doors in the main living area and the breeze was magnificant. We never turned on the air-conditioning the entire time we were there. Having that wonderful breeze was very soothing and relaxing. I highly recommend this condo and we will definitely be staying here again.
