As beautiful as the pictures are they just don't compare to the actual thing. It is truly a magical place with unbelievable views. Went there for my wedding anniversary and we were amazed during the whole stay, it really felt like a honeymoon. And if you go with kids, it is perfect for that too as the two rooms have amazing views and are on opposite sides of the unit, so privacy is not an issue and there are no compromises with the scenery.
The owner was very attentive and communicative since the very first moment we booked. Providing background, suggestions, advice, places to visit, etc. Really made us feel like we knew each other from long time ago, Thank you for being so responsive before, during and after our stay : )
Location in RedHook area is great as you have access to lots of places from quick snacks, restaurants, bars, marina, groceries, etc. I personally prefer RedHook area over Charlotte-Amelie, it just feels more vacation-like, and not so much as a city, if you know what I mean.
The unit itself was spotless! Everything worked, everything at the right place, the WiFi, the A/Cs, backup power in the house, the grill, the beach stuff that you can use, the owner really thought of every detail... and then there is the infinity edge pool... Oh the pool... the jewel of the crown. It's like its been taken out of a movie set.
We are grateful we found Sea La Vie! Just book this place you won't regret it.
