About this property

DIVE DEEP! Discounted rates April 17th thru April 27th 2024

Captain's Quarters was truly a labor of love. It look us three years to build and was completed in December of 2014. We are located on the beautiful north shores of St Thomas. The villa faces NE so we enjoy warm tropical breezes most all year. The view is phenomenal. We sit above five bays and have an expansive view of the Atlantic ocean. You can only find that true aqua color here in our crystal clear waters. We have over 30 varieties of tropical trees and flowers on the grounds and enjoy the hummingbirds and parrots that frequent them.

Our location is considered rural or as the locals call it "the bush". This means we are away from the hustle and bustle of town but close enough to enjoy our shopping and restaurants. You don't hear traffic noise here, just the waves breaking on the rocks, the squawk of parrots and the song of the "coki frogs" at night. All ocean views on the island are spectacular but ours are not hindered with power lines or neighbor's houses. We have an unobstructed spectacular view!

Did we mention the breezes keep away the bugs so dining outdoors is a real treat? There is casual seating on the porch in addition to a six person dining table and chef's grill. Inside, the Quarters has comfortable leather furniture for those in the mood for a little TV. We offer a 47in HDTV with an Amazon Firestick, including Hulu, Amazon Prime and Netflix. The fully equipped kitchen has custom cabinets, granite counters, stainless steel appliances and an ice maker that's a real work horse!

The Master Suite has views of the ocean and our ever growing banana garden. The king bed has a great mattress and several pillows to choose from enabling a good nights rest. The en suite bath has a double vanity and a walk in travertine stone shower with a window. You can enjoy the outside while showering inside!

The second bedroom has a King bed with Hotel Collection bedding. The additional bath has a travertine shower with a shower rain head. The full size front load washer and dryer are conveniently located in the hallway.

Joe and I live on the property also but we designed our home with vacationers in mind. You'll have your own space with a private entrance and personal parking. We are handicapped accessible and one of the few properties on the island with NO STAIRS and level grounds. We are here and available to insure you have the best vacation possible in our tropical paradise. We're happy to help with directions or answer any questions you may have. Joe has sampled every burger on the island and is eager to offer his opinions! Our goal is for you to have a great time on St Thomas!

Please visit Captain's Quarters Caret Bay on Homeaway.com or VRBO.com.
#3879114 is our two bedroom that you are viewing now and
#3879113 is a smaller one bedroom.

We have a beautiful courtyard with a POOL! While you're here, the pool is a great place to relax and cool off. It's only used by guests in our two units. You'll see Joe cleaning it every morning and if we're invited, serving his famous rum punch at cocktail time!

"Honorable Mention" goes to our GENERATOR. Being on an island we have a limited power grid to draw from. Consequently, at times we find ourselves without electricity. Joe is not much for roughing it or having his favorite scifi program interrupted so when the lights go out, our GENERATOR goes on!

If you've searched for a place to stay while on your vacation, you already know how beautiful our island is.
All beaches are open to the public, don't limit yourself just to one. Each offers something different.
It's so fun to eat here. The restaurants are many and their menus unique. Enjoy the local cuisine from a food truck or eat in a five star establishment.
Consider renting a car. Driving here is an experience all it's own. With a car you can explore the island. We're only 14 miles long, 3 wide. We drive slowly, anything over 25 mpr is too fast. Come and go as you please. When someone waits for you in traffic, a slight beep means THANK YOU!

Joe and I are retired. We are living our dream. We'd like to share it with you!

Absolutely perfect!
Marcia and Joe are wonderful! They helped to make our stay comfortable, memorable, and provided help in many ways for our first visit to St Thomas (from picking us up at the airport, driving us to the car rental, Joe even gave the girls a snorkeling lesson)! We feel like we made new friends, and what can be better than that in life?!! The 2BR, 2BA unit is spacious, beautifully styled, spotless, and has everything you could need. Not to mention the huge porch facing the water and views that never end! You could stay right at the property for the entire vacation and it would be wonderful! The pool and patio at the back of the property were perfect! Surrounded by tropical plants and trees, it felt very private. The property is just a handful of miles from beautiful beaches, restaurants and it was fun learning to drive - KEEPING LEFT! on the winding, mountainous roads. The week flew by! We left rested and refreshed! Highly recommend this rental.

Stunning views
First time staying on St Thomas and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay. Marcia and Joe's "Captain's Quarters" is the best equipped vacation rental we've ever experienced. Beach chairs and towels, snorkeling gear, gas grill, and laundry. It's all there and it's CLEAN. The kitchen is especially well stocked with good cookware, utensils, sharp knives(!), even a crockpot! Enjoy stunning views from your private balcony and fall asleep to the soothing sounds of tropical birds and chirping frogs. Stop scrolling, you've found "the one". Thank you Marcia and Joe - we look forward to visiting again!

Fantastic getaway
What a beautiful site for a February vacation. The view is amazing looking out the northern coast of St.Thomas. Joe and Marcia anticipated our every need and we were welcomed with treats. The place was equipped better than any place we have stayed. We especially enjoyed swimming and snorkeling at Brewers Bay and Hull Bay Beach. A car is needed to explore the island but we always looked forward to returning to the quiet of Cold Toes.

A Fabulous Milestone Bday Celebration
Once I booked the reservation for myself, my sister and my girlfriend, I got a call from Marsha and she was kind enough to mail me brochures of the island which is one of the nicest touches prior to our visit. Upon arrival, Marsha & Joe were kind enough to meet us at the car rental at the airport which made the drive to the house super easy! (GPS, Apple Maps, WAZE are all inaccurate but you will NEED a car) The house itself is beautiful & clean! We enjoyed the amazing outdoor views and the nicely decorated rooms. The kitchen & bathrooms were stocked with all you could need, and we also had access to the use of beach supplies. The house is a bit far from nightlife but not a worry since we felt safe upon arrival at the house. If you don't like the sound of coki or roosters, then this house is not for you - but you will not be disappointed as it's very peaceful!

Why they chose this property

We have lived on St Thomas for 18 years. The WEATHER here is hands down, unbeatable. We love the hues of the OCEAN, especially the turquoise you only find in the Caribbean. We enjoy the diversity of LANDSCAPES.

The PEOPLE of St Thomas are of many cultures and nations. Our CUSTOM is to greet all with a ''good morning'' or ''good afternoon''. It's a great icebreaker when you enter a doctors office and greet a room full of waiting patients.

We enjoy outdoor DINING and sampling our various 5 Star eateries.

Top of our list are all the AQUATIC activities available on our island, The crystal clear, warm waters are perfect for boating, swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing etc. etc. etc.

We looked at homes to purchase for two years. We spent one year looking at lots. Marcia had a requirement list with no compromises. We had to find a piece of property with a fantastic view, no lines or wires blocking that view, decent roads and facing Northeast to take advantage of the sea breezes. We spent a year with an architect and it took two years to build.

Welcome to CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS!

What makes this property unique

This is now our home. We spend hours a week feeding and pruning our flowers which grow 365 days a year, so unlike what we're used to in Iowa. We enjoy gardening, but most of all, we want the grounds to look parklike. It's in our nature to take care of things and we want our guests to experience Captain's Quarters at it's finest.

We have NO STAIRS on the property. New construction on a mountainside is challenging at best but building with NO STAIRS is quite an accomplishment!

Besides his pressure washer, Joe's favorite piece of equipment is his GENERATOR. We never would have survived as pioneers. When the island goes dark, Captain's Quarters lights up!
