I Stayed at Point Pleasant many years ago and loved it so much that I didn't even consider staying anywhere else on this return trip to St Thomas. My husband and I stayed in room E-10 which was beautifully renovated with a VERY comfortable bed. The room is exactly as pictured in this listing, we were very pleased. This truly a beautiful property and we really enjoyed hiking through the nature paths and trails. The pools are situated overlooking the ocean and surrounding islands which is not only gorgeous but completely relaxing.
About the owner, Billy:
We had a couple questions for Billy and texted him. He immediately called me back and was very helpful. - Thank you!
He sent his welcome letter to us about 6 weeks before our stay and then again the week before. We greatly appreciated that because I couldn't find where I filed the first letter.
Note about the Point Pleasant Resort vs Independent Owners:
There is a "political" divide by the resort owner/employees and the Independent owners which relates to services provided by the resort. If you did not book directly through the resort website, they are unwilling to help you with anything. Example: My husband and I walked up to the lobby to ask for a cab to Red Hook. I asked them to call for a cab, they asked me which room I was staying in which I gave them my room number. The employee went and looked something up and said "you didn't book with the resort so I can't help you". He instead gave me a slip of paper of taxi's I could call myself.
*** This type of scenario happened several times throughout our stay. BUT - DO NOT let this deter you from renting from Billy or other Independent owners through VRBO.
When we got home, we did a little research and this is what we found:
1 - The cost of the room per night is much less expensive on VRBO than booking through the resort.
2- Rent a car so that you can come and go as you please and do not have to rely on taxi's which are expensive.
So, if you book through VBRO and rent a car, you will have a lot more freedom and money in your pocket!
Finally, We will definitely stay here again and book Billy's condo. We will rent a car next time so we have all the freedom to move throughout the resort and the island as we please. This is still my favorite place on the island and look forward to coming back next year. Thanks again Billy!
