St. Thomas is the sophisticated U.S. Virgin Island with lots of action, attractions and activities, and a booming Caribbean real estate market. You won't be bored for a moment. McLaughlin Anderson Luxury Villas, the premier Caribbean property management company in this part of the Caribbean, offers scores of private island homes with pools, a large selection of weekly Caribbean villa rentals from small romantic cottages, very luxurious and well-equipped villas, large and impressive island estates, to The Ritz-Carlton Club Residences, superb accommodations with legendary service set directly on one of the best white-sand beaches on St. Thomas. St. Thomas has a good number of cosmopolitan five-star restaurants, many of them open to tropical breezes and the view. But don't forget to sample the native cuisine - fresh local fish and dishes like fungi and kallaloo. Spend your days at any one of our many palm-fringed beaches, rising from your beach chair or towel only to paddle about in the azure sea. Use a mask and snorkel to spy on the exotic undersea world that surrounds St. Thomas. Or don a scuba tank for an adventure down into the deep. Sail or windsurf to any of the offshore cays that dot the horizon, or practice your putt at our seaside Mahogany Run Golf Course. Roam the narrow streets and alleys of historic Charlotte Amalie, a small and sophisticated Caribbean capital which since the 1600's has enjoyed her share of island travelers. Take a few minutes from your search for that perfect piece of duty-free jewelry or original island art to absorb a bit of the island's history. The old stone buildings that now house an almost unimaginable array of merchandise once served to store the necessities of a plantation economy. Camille Pissarro, born above one of the Main Street stores, left a legacy found in the plethora of Caribbean art for sale here. Trek up the 99 Steps to Blackbeard's Hill where you will find Crown House, now a private residence, but when Denmark ruled the Virgin Islands, the home of several governors. Directly above are Blackbeard's Castle, built by the pirate Edward Teach, and the old Lutheran parsonage. Only a few of our private villas are located on their own beach (all beaches in the U.S. Virgin Islands are public), but St. Thomas is a small Caribbean island, only 4 by 14 miles, and it will only take you a few minutes to drive to any of our many and varied white sand beaches - what the Virgin Islands are famous for! Many of McLaughlin Anderson Luxury Villas' vacation rentals are ON the water, but are set on cliffs overlooking the ocean and cannot truly be called "beachfront". All of our Caribbean villa rentals have captivating ocean views - the U.S. Virgin Islands are also known for their incredible sea views, especially St. Thomas's sparkling harbor and town vistas, and St. Thomas's incomparable "down-island" views of St. John and the myriad British Virgin Islands beyond. You'll be dazzled!
