BANANA BAY BEACH BUNGALOW
Water Island, St Thomas, USVI
ABOUT
Welcome to paradise.
This Bungalow overlooks a beach and waterfront as far as the eye can see. Find your inner adventurer and explore the lessor known Water Island, a short 8 minute ferry ride from St Thomas. Water Island is known as the US Virgin Island's "Best Kept Secret". Water Island is a quaint island with only 491 acres and under 200 full time residents. It is close enough to explore St.Thomas, St.John, Lovango Resort and even St.Croix/ Spanish Islands if you are up for adventure…but far enough, that you feel you have found your own private island.

Equipped with all your kitchen essentials, coffee maker, beach chairs, towels/linens, Smart TVs, outdoor shower, and ACs in each bedroom.

There are three king bedrooms; (two upstairs that share a bathroom) and one downstairs with an en suite bathroom and separate porch. One of the king beds can also be turned into two twins if needed. Maximum capacity for this villa is 6 guests.

Beaches on Water Island
Bring hiking shoes, Tevas, or tennis shoes for the quick trail hike down to the property's private beach on Banana Bay Beach. Also the Private community has access to the Sprat Bay Beach accessible by Golf Cart, as well as the more popular Honeymoon Beach and trail accessible Limestone Beach which is a fun place for those that love shelling.
Restaurants On Island
There are two restaurants on island: Dinghys has a wide selection of casual options for all times of day on the Honeymoon beach. Heidi's Honeymoon Grille also has amazing fish tacos and quite afternoon cocktails (QACs) with a view for lunch. Heidi's also has a weekly high end dining experience which we highly recommend attending if this is during your stay.
The Crossings hut on the way to Honeymoon Beach also has shaved ice & local art and jewelry.
