If you need a quiet area for a peaceful mind this is the place for you. I spent 3 days there I felt like I was home. The view is breathtaking where you can explore the city etc…. I will stay there again if I go back to st Thomas. Libby is very nice and great host. The only thing you will need to go out to eat since the restaurant doesn’t open everyday specially during my stay. I can say I enjoyed my stay at island view guest house I hope to seeing you again Libby

This is a lovely place to stay. The service was great! The GPS could not find the place and the receptionist was so gracious and drove to our location so we had a vehicle to follow. Very personal service! Views are fabulous! We highly recommend this quaint Guesthouse!

Me and my husband James loved our stay at Ocean View Guesthouse because we felt like we were staying in Libby and Marshall’s beautiful home - they treated us kindly and with the utmost respect - kudos to the two of them for running such a tight ship especially with their manager Eileen 😊

the property has beautiful views on a nice veranda. Check in was late. The wifi did not work. the pool was small and dirty and the rooms are much smaller than they look online. We went to a different hotel

Extra clean and well accented.

Wonderful views of the island. I liked the location as it was centric and I could go everywhere at a relatively short distance. The cleanliness of the room and the details were impressive.

Island View has a great view and we had a nice, clean room with a comfy bed, cooling heat pump, microwave and fridge. Great space to sit near the pool, too. Not so good: no bath soap (only smelly hand soap), no glasses, no way to bring ice to your room except in a small glass from the self-serve bar, stones in floor of shower are loose and gather in the drain, no restaurant (we learned on arrival that it had closed), and a skimpy breakfast of two small slices of watermelon, two small sausages and two waffles. In short, it’s not nearly as good as when we stayed here a few years ago.

Husband and I had a very nice visit. We liked that it was small and private-feeling. We think you really need to rent a car to stay here; taking cabs would (probably - we didn't do it!) be so onerous and limiting. Our room was great and just like the pictures. We loved the balcony and appreciated the A/C and mini-kitchen.

Won’t be back!

The girl that was supposed to check us in did not care at all. She didn’t answer our questions. There was no food on site and the water machine didn’t work. So we were unable to get water. We had an early flight but nobody was onsite to help us. We had someone banging on our door in the middle of the night claiming they locked themselves out of the room. We have no idea if that was legitimate. Also what could we do? There was nobody onsite. Scary. Poor service at best. We will never come back.
