About this property

CalypsoBlu: Updated 3 bedroom villa - pool, near beach with ocean view.

CalypsoBlu boasts contemporary Caribbean design, hotel quality amenities, large pool and nearby beaches. With a lovely Caribbean Sea view 100 feet above the beach on an acre of private land, this fully-air-conditioned three-bedroom private villa is located in a secluded area only five miles from the airport and three miles from downtown St. Thomas on the island's sunny south side with sunset views.

CalypsoBlu has updated living/dining room furnishings and a modern well-equipped kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances. Internet connected HDTVs and HD cable service are also provided in all rooms. High speed WiFi is provided throughout the villa and on its decks at the island's top speed, suitable for video streaming. Sliding glass doors with screens open all around the living/dining area so you can enjoy the sights, sounds and tropical breezes even when inside.

Spend a day around the pool (5’ deep throughout and 25’L X 11’W), enjoying lunch prepared on the gas grill. Nap while listening to the sounds of the Caribbean Sea lapping at the shore. Marvel as the cruise ships pass close by entering the islands main port.

All three bedrooms enjoy a private tiled bath, reading area, HDTV and Wi-Fi. Luxury bed and bath linens are provided. All three bedrooms have private entrances onto the pool deck. Bedrooms 1 and 3 have desks/tables with chairs suitable for working, as does the main living area.

CalypsoBlu is approximately 2,300 square feet indoors with an additional 1,200 square feet of deck/veranda space outdoors, much of it covered. A fully automatic backup power generator and water filtration system ensure your ultimate comfort. The villa is rented to one group at a time and is never shared. The villa is unfortunately not wheel chair friendly with several steps between living area and bedrooms. The villa is also not suitable for younger children as all bedrooms have direct pool access.

CalypsoBlu is managed by an on-island company, providing you with access to a concierge who can arrange anything from an in-Villa massage or chef, to a private yacht charter or the assistance of dedicated 24/7 maintenance personnel.

Best Family Vacation Ever!

The house was perfect for our family of four with two adult kids. The view was even more spectacular in person. Very clean and stocked with everything we needed. Great location, convenient to everything with a sense of being remotely located. Walking to the beach was a challenge, but was a fun adventure. The only cons were very low water pressure in the showers especially the lower room. And the upper room AC could not keep up with the heat while we were there. Overall we loved it and plan on coming back.

Anniversary paradise

My husband and I spent 8 days here for our anniversary. The house was perfect. The views were amazing! The kitchen was very well stocked for cooking meals. We were very centrally located. Which made driving easy. The views from the bedrooms were beautiful. The sun set was beautiful from the balcony every night. We will definitely stay in this villa again. And loved the pool and privacy!! #25yearsofchasingsunsetstogether

Nice but…

Wi-Fi was only available in the main living space. Bedrooms were unable to connect to Wi-Fi. All bedrooms being disconnected from the main living area/kitchen was not ideal. Well stocked kitchen. Needs new kitchen chairs. Pool was fabulous! Well stocked with sunscreen and floats for pool. Outdoor living space needs a TV.

Another week in paradise

March 5-12, 2024. My husband and I and our 2 grown children loved our stay at the Calypso Blu! This is not our first visit to the island. The villa is just as described and we were all impressed with the cleanliness of the home! All bedrooms/baths are separate from the main living area by the pool area and lanai so we all had our private place to chill. The bed linens were comfy, the kitchen fully stocked with all utensils and some spices and seasonings. We all enjoyed the saltwater pool and then there is the view! One of the best on the island! Justin is an excellent host-very responsive to text and email and the location is so great-close to snorkeling, excursions, dining and shopping! Beautiful sunrises and sunsets, watching the cruise ships sail in and out from the pool deck. We recommend a jeep or 4 wheel drive as the villa sits at the end of a steep road-very private with beautiful plantings and again there is always the view! We will hopefully return! We highly recommend this villa!

Central location to all things VI!

The house was as described and ready for our arrival. Our only negative were the 2 primary en-suites were on the same side of the house (upper & lower). It didn't deter our enjoyment & we had a great week regardless. Kitchen was well equipped with the essentials & we had everything we needed for the week. Pool was chilly but comfortable & offered relaxation on our lazy 'home' days. Central location kept us close to both ends of the islands & we took the car ferry to St. John several times. Great hiking on both islands once you are off the beaten path. Check out Lanai Restaurant which is just around the corner from the house & beachfront, we ate there several times! Great communication from hosts/staff before, during & after our stay.

Great location, private, gorgeous views, comfortable home

We stayed a month at CalypsoBlu and enjoyed it! The owner clearly has tried to anticipate needs, and make his property a fine vacation rental. The management company was very helpful and responsive. The location is very good, just 10 minutes to Charlotte Amalie, stores and restaurants and 20 minutes the other direction to the Redhook area. It was fun to watch cruise ships leaving the harbor as they come quite close. The private pool is excellent, and was used often for a refreshing dip! The way the 3 bedrooms are laid out, each is very private and quiet. The A/C is excellent in the main room and bedrooms. One downside is the long unpaved and rocky private driveway which makes going and coming somewhat of a chore. Overall we had a wonderful time at CalypsoBlu!

Slice of paradise

We loved staying at CalypsoBlu. The property is very clean, the view is spectacular, the pool was certainly our favorite part about the property. Communication with Justin and the management team was great. He even gave us a contact # for a taxi guy since we were 5 hrs delayed arriving and couldn’t pick up our rental car after hours, which was probably best case scenario as “learning” to drive on the left in the dark on the narrow road leading to the property was probably not going to be a good idea. Only nuisance were the mosquitoes in the kitchen/living space so bring some repellents (there were some sprays and a couple of things at the property available). Great location to go exploring and close enough to the car ferry that goes to St. John. Strongly recommend to rent a car - many suggest a Jeep, but we had a mini van and it got the job done just fine. We liked that the bedrooms were separate and not connected to the main living area so our baby was able to take her naps and the early birds were able to get coffee in the kitchen without having to tip toe and whisper. We loved our stay and would certainly come back again. Thank you for hosting us at your gorgeous property.

Unbeatable view and excellent location

CalypsoBlu is an amazing villa with an unbeatable view. It is centrally located between Charlotte Amalie and Red Hook. It is secluded so you have a lot of privacy. It was very clean and spacious and had everything we needed and more. It is well decorated, and the kitchen was larger than it looked in the photos. The 3 bedrooms all have their separate entrances and are not connected to each other or the main living area. That allowed a lot of privacy, and my tween/teen boys loved it, feeling like they had their own apartments. It made this momma a little nervous at first but I got used to it. The pool was great and bigger than we expected. We had a couple of maintenance related issues with the pool and AC in the 2nd master, but Justin was very responsive and had them both addressed. Neither of them impacted the satisfaction of our stay. The sliding door to the main living area is broken and doesn’t shut all the way, nor lock. We just kept the screen door closed to prevent bugs from coming in, and the opening was small enough that it didn’t impact the temperature in the living area. It was more a nuisance than anything. This was a great property with excellent service, and we’d highly recommend it and would stay here again!

The Closest You'll Get To Paradise On Earth

If you are anything like my wife and I and have been sifting through webpage upon webpage looking for the perfect place to stay then look no further. We were very keen on privacy, fantastic views, convenient location, comfort, and this was it and more! Beautifully nestled in the mountainside of the Island this home is the place if you need rejuvenation. Just a 5 minute drive to the capital city Charlotte Amalie yet the privacy makes you feel like you are a million miles away. Everything you need is here, I mean you will not have to worry about anything but maybe a few groceries. A 4X4 is a must have just be careful while driving since you have to drive on the left side of the road. The problem is that the views are so beautiful with almost every look that it is hard to keep your eyes on the road and also remember to stay on the left. And what can I say about the property managers except that they were great. Angela was awesome calling us often to see if we were in need of anything. I never had a problem contacting her from the minute we met up at the airport to the minute we left the island and she is so sweet with her Caribbean welcome and hospitality. The home was clean and the layout is amazing. As soon as you open the front door of the home you are in the Lanai which is the perfect spot to enjoy your early morning and late evening coffee with your love one. From the Lanai a few steps down is pool. When you walk into the Lanai from the front door to the left is a master bedroom which has its own separate entrance and to the right is the Living room and kitchen area. We stayed at the home about 80% of the time, we didn't want to leave and I have no regrets. Be careful when you are walking on the deck during the daytime, it got so hot because of the sun beaming down it. They provide you with towels; use them to cover the chairs if you are going to lay out on them. You are going to love the balconies from the bedroom and living room. On your first day there take a drive down to iggies, you will be having Pina Colada with Caribbean music on the beach. This home is keeper, we definitely will be returning especially when this house is managed specifically with your every concern in mind. Thank you so much!

Villa with beautiful view

Beautiful villa and pool overlooking Morningstar Beach! The road getting in was a bit scary so we chose to be home before dark but that was enjoyable as we watched the sunset from the pool each night. Overall, a great place to stay! My only minor complaint was that on two separate occasions I emailed Justin at the management company and did not receive a response from either.

We found the home in a great central location of the island so that any day trip was within 20 minutes or less. It’s a great layout for a group of couples since all bedrooms have their own entrance separate from the main living area.

Amazing property- book with confidence!!

From beginning to end, our stay was everything we hoped for. Property was clean and updated and our group had plenty of room inside and out on the pool deck/ balcony's. Everything works as it should and kitchen was very well stocked with all the basics...it made everything so much easier! When speaking with Justin the host, he was very prompt to reply, friendly and welcoming. Exactly what you want in a host! I would have no concerns booking this property again, we really had a blast and enjoyed it's quiet location and absolutely stunting views. The pictures in the listing are accurate...it really is that nice. If you like what you see in the listing, you will love this property!

Fantastic southside home in St Thomas

Our family of 5 spent a week at this house. It is as gorgeous as the pictures suggest! The home is fully equipped and very comfortable with stunning views. It was perfectly situated for our needs - Charlotte Amalie is only 15 minutes away as is the Red Hook area. The location is also very private - the last 1/4 mile or so of the access road is unpaved but should be no problem for a 4x4. Justin and his team were easily reachable and responsive to any questions. There is no beach access within walking distance - Morningstar beach is currently closed- but Limetree beach is a very short drive away (5 mins). We also spent an afternoon at Abi beach which is accessible via a dirt road very close to CalypsoBlu. There used to be a beach shack at one end which has been abandoned along with picnic tables and beach chairs. We had the beach to ourselves - worth a visit if you don't mind the rough drive.

About the host

Hosted by David J. Martin

Host profile image
When we first visited St. Thomas in 2001 we knew we had to come back. After several years of vacations in many a tropic climate, we chose sunny St. Thomas, the capital city of America's Caribbean. For a family from Chicago, the Virgin Islands are ideal.

Why they chose this property

We considered many properties when selecting a vacation home. But when we saw CalypsoBlu, with her Caribbean design and open floorplan, we knew she was the house for us. With large sliding doors and windows everywhere, even inside the villa we feel we are outside, which is what we want when we visit the island. While we've updated the villa since our purchase, we've kept it Caribbean charm while adding a wide-range of amenities.
