Charlotte Amalie is a short 10 minutes drive west to the duty-free shopping capitol of the Caribbean, and Red Hook is only 8 minutes drive east, where you can take a person or car ferry to St. John, USVI via a short 20 minutes scenic ferry ride.

This Watergate Villa is individually owned, configured & thoughtfully furnished/decorated for the comforts of home. Not only is this condo situated with the BEST location in the property (DIRECT WALKOUT TO THE OCEANFRONT POOL), but owners and manager pride in providing amenities for our guests, with many happy return guests each year.

The 2BR/2BA condo has two air-conditioned bedrooms set apart from each other, and an air-conditioned living/dining/kitchen area. It has a pull-out sofa option/fee for the extra guest.

This prime condo in oceanfront/poolfront building 16 provides the best location on Bolongo Beach.

From the pool, you are within footsteps of your condominium for cool refreshments. And at the pool is direct walk-on access to the beach. By staying at this condo in villa 16, there's no walking thru the hot parking lot or many steps, as with a lot of the other units or other properties. If you have an infant, and bring your baby monitor, it works at the pool.

This condo is a perfect home base in St. Thomas & to St. John and surrounding islands. Within ten minutes by taxi or rental car are grocery stores, K-Mart, duty-free shopping in Charlotte Amalie, Saint John ferry in Red Hook, championship golf course, Magen's Bay, and the airport. St John is a must see and is only a short ferry ride via car or person ferry from Red Hook (a nice day is packing the cooler, beach towels and portable chairs provided in the condo and taking your rental car to St. John to explore & snorkel all the beaches).

Wonderful Getaway!
We absolutely loved the condo. It’s very peaceful and right next to Mim’s which by the way has the most incredible food! Condo was everything we thought it would be. So nice right in front of the pool for our grandson and as an early riser each morning I enjoyed my coffee on the patio watching the sun come up with the waves coming in. Will definitely stay here again.

This place needs a BIG TIME RENOVATION!!! It’s old, it’s stinks when the ac is not on, one of the bathroom has tape around the inside of the tub. The sofa and the dining room chairs itch your skin when you sit on them. You can smell mold throughout the property. We couldn’t open the sliding door from the living room because the screen door only had a frame and no screen to keep out the mosquitos and we needed the fresh air to pass through because of the smell. It was just terrible and over priced for what is being charged. I wouldn’t pay more than $50 per night for that junk!!!!! I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND!!!! And it’s sad because with a bit of money injected into it it have so much potential!!!!

Amazing location, we loved it
We went with another couple to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday. We've stayed at the West gate buildings a few different times and this was our first in this unit. Best spot to be in, lower level, walk out to the pool. Unit was very clean, only one burner worked on the stove which was a bit difficult to cook breakfast, we did notify the management team of this. Beds were super comfortable, 4 pillows per bed. AC worked great, nice and cold. Ample amount of beach towels and bath towels. Limited cookware, need to add a baking sheet for the oven. Snorkel gear and folding chairs were supplied along with a large cooler for the beach. Chairs on the deck can easily slide around at night when the tile gets damp, so be careful of this. Otherwise, we had a great time, great stay and would definitely rent this unit again.

Great location
The condo is what was expected, nothing fancy and a place to lay our head at night. The kitchen and bathroom areas are a little rough. The kitchen appliances mostly work, some burners on the stove do not. There was limited kitchen towels or sponges so doing dishes was rough. The bathroom doors didn’t quite shut and no floor mates for showers. Both bathtubs are very slippery. Bedrooms were clean and mattresses ok. The extra room can be a king or 2 twins, we asked for twins and it was left as a king and no extra linens. Plenty of towels - and onsite laundry. Location to the pool was amazing, beach was close, but not the type of beach you relax and swim at, not sandy. Cooler, chairs and some beach accessories were included. Overall good stay for the $$

Not worth the money
We’ve stayed at these condos 3 times before at similar price point. This unit was so unloved! We left after 1st night as the mold, old air conditioning units was making us feel sick. Did not ask for refund, we were so anxious to get out after 1 night! Place has not been updated in, what appeared, years. Rust on every appliance, paint sprayed on oven making it unusable, musty smell to furniture and plastic patio furniture broken. DO NOT recommend staying here - it felt like a dungeon.

This was an interesting experience. First, the positives: the unit was very clean and the decor was nice. We appreciated the fresh flowers. When we reached out to Scott with issues he was very responsive and kind. The pool and view are outstanding! We often had the pool to ourselves. And we loved seeing the iguanas on the lawn and on our patio. The AC units cooled effectively. The negatives: This unit is badly in need of repair. There's a hole in the wall with wires sticking out in bedroom 2, a LARGE closet door in the hall that nearly fell on our kid bc the hardware is missing (door is just leaning on the other door). The bathtubs are not safe to stand in--the tub floors are squishy causing a high probability of falling. I had to help my mother shower every day- not exactly what I was looking forward to. There's a leak near the vanity by bathroom #2 and the cabinet smells badly of mildew/mold. There was no coffee in the unit and no tupperware or lidded containers in which to store leftovers. If you're going to stay here, either plan to spend TONs of money on cab rides to go eat, or plan on finding a way to bring back a bunch of groceries. There's one restaurant on site and it's good but limited. There's one more restaurant within walking distance but the path is uneven--not good for anyone with limited mobility. ZERO restaurants were willing to deliver to this location, even the pizza place located 1.5 miles away.

This villa at Bolongo is amazing! The amnities supplied by the owner were super helpful! We loved every single minute! Until we needed to do laundry (way to expensive), ran out of bath towels (and didnt want to pay to wash them), ran out of toilet paper (and had to buy our own), and ran out of paper towels. I guess we were just unprepared for the out of pocket expenses.
