Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

Left on 04/21/2013 for a stay in March 2013

Not only is this location the best on the island, but this condo is awesome. We used the two levels, spacious accomodations, great decks with views and all the amenities. We also loved the flexibility of renting a condo, having a car and doing what we wanted, when we wanted. Save a little money on breakfasts and lunches and splurge on dinner. Great beach, snorkeling, pool, hot tub, exercise equipment and close to lots of bars and restaurants. We've been to St. Thomas about 15 times and I would put this location at the top of our list!!!

Nancy's condo was an AWESOME place for us to use on our first time visit to St. Thomas. It looked exactly as the pictures showed. No Surprises! It comfortably accomidated 5 adults and 1 toddler. We stay in the condo 7 days / 6 nights. The onsite restaurants offered good food. And we were close enough to Red Hook to take a short drive for other options and use the ferry. Even though we visited other beaches, Cowpet Bay (the Elysian's private beach) was the best. Nancy was gracious enough to provide "starter" supplies in the condo. Plus past tenents (us included) left behind items for the next family to use. My family and I can't wait to come back.

By far the most wonderful

By far the most wonderful!


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 magnificent. 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.

We had the most wonderful stay at your beautiful condo!. It was such an accommodating Home Away from Home. The condo was beautifully decorated and furnished with everything needed to provide for a most enjoyable vacation. The beds were so comfortable and the view & location was just perfect. We really enjoyed having 3 bathrooms and the 2 large bedrooms!!! Having a washer and dryer in the condo unit was also a plus!!!! We went on a snorkeling adventure with "New Horizons"(sailing) and we had a blast. The crew couldn't have been kinder & the food was delicious!!! The snorkeling was awesome. We also went to "Mountain Top" restaurant and the view was absolutely phenomenal. We took the ferry across to St John and thoroughly enjoyed it. We ate in Red Hook a couple of nights. We enjoyed beaching it at the Elysian & eating at Sangrias. Loved the pool & renting the water toys. Saw many HUGE turtles off our beach. Thank you Nancy for the opportunity to enjoy your beautiful place. It was magnificent. A big P.S. We had an opportunity to see other resorts and other than the Ritz Carlton, which is out of our price range, the Elysian was one of the nicest resorts on the island!!!!!! We visited Sapphire Beach & other resorts (Bolongo) and the Elysian is by far the nicest, cleanest, accommodating & the kindest people at your beach hut helping with adventures & water toys. Thank you so much.

Family of four - with twin 12-year-olds - stayed here a week and wow - it was everything we needed and more than we expected. The place itself is gorgeous - clean is important - so I'll mention that up front. Beds were really comfy too. The washer/dryer in the unit is really great - helped us minimize packing - and it's REALLY quiet so you can run the machines at night without fear of waking sleeping folks. The drinking water on the island is really good too - no need for bottles. But if you want a soda (on its own or to use as a mixer :) there's a soda machine just a hop from the unit that is $1.25 for an ice-cold 20-oz bottle - and the machine takes credit cards! Water pressure in the showers is great. The pool and beach are both pristine - both very well-cared for. Sam the bartender at the beach bar is lovely - and makes killer grown-up cocktails and kiddo smoothies - our daughter tried multiple strawberry/mango smoothies during our week around St. Thomas and St. John, but swore Sam's were the best. If you are runner - beware - there are LOTS of hills :) !! We never turned on the TVs - but there are great flatscreens everywhere. WiFi was super-reliable in the unit. A big bin of pool/beach toys for the condo was VERY appreciated by our kids! The resort management is super - they helped immensely in the amazing return of my husband's wallet - lost in the ocean and found (completely intact!) by a local snorkeler. Nancy (the owner) is a superb communicator - and even called us when we let her know about the lost wallet - she's great! I'd book this unit again in a heartbeat - and we fully intend to do so. Note also - you get a very safe vibe in the resort. We have stayed many places in many countries and know when we've got to be "on guard" and we never had that worry here. Sorry that my review is all over the place - but there are so many high points - and no low points - I could go on forever. However I would HIGHLY recommend renting a car.
