Amazing location - great beach but the entire place was a bit run down and tired - needs some love for sure.
AC unit was so loud we had to turn it off to get some sleep
Stove appeared to be broken since 1974 -
Bath cabinet and fixture was road hard and put away wet......
No hot water for the shower - which its OK because it was so hot.

You can come here and cool out on the beach. The room is nice for the price, you get your own little private bungalow with a porch and ting. Often they have good music down at the bar. Good people working there

The place is right on the water can't get better than that. Mosquitoes are a killer even with bug spray but overall it's good value for the cost. Place needs a lot of work but the A/C works great and room was clean with full kitchen. Right down the road is 2 grocery stores with everything needed for the stay. We will definitely be back to the Bungalows on the beach.

Great location and staff was friendly. Restaurant bar and pool on site with beach, perfect match. As a place to sleep and launch from this is perfect. Bungalow could use updating. Staff in office, bar/ restaurant were great and very helpful in our next adventure on the island.

Bungalows under renewal. Many nice features and some improvements occurring. Great beach, bar, food, and a super fun island to visit. We will revisit soon!

Fantastic views and the trees and bushes were all trimmed and neat. Bungalow was very nice just enough room and kitchenware for two.
Staff were all friendly.
Could use some updating. We'll be coming back for sure though, updating or not.

RESERVATIONS – Due to a software glitch (don’t book on high volume days), 3 reservations were made in 15 minutes—I immediately cancelled two within the hour. Bungalows on the Bay (BoB) verified two were cancelled, but did not return our money!!! They did not answer a week of emails, so we had to have Expedia contact them (they had problems also) to get our $5K back. Over a week of sleepless nights to straighten this out.
POOL - it was a CESSPOOL. All 10 days there were diving beetles and other bugs LIVING in the water, and a thick growth of algae on the sides and corners. I never saw anyone vacuum it. Some days the water was entirely green (yet still open with people in it). If there is algae in a pool it eats up all the chlorine and the pool is unsanitary—it was not safe to be in the entire vacation
ROOMS – we booked a 400 square foot room, but were put in a 225 square foot room, Cabin 5. A huge downgrade (BAIT AND SWITCH?). We had already moved in, put groceries in the horribly rusty refrigerator, and wiped the room down with Lysol wipes when we noticed how small it was. We didn’t want to waste a half day of vacation arguing with the office and packing and moving to a room that may be worse. 4 cockroaches.

Liked the seclusion and privacy but the facilities could use some improvement, for example pool and beach area needed more seating, advertised marine toys were limited or non-existent, better have GPS to find the place. All over nice place would consider again.
2.0
Good east end location. Easy to get to and away from the crowds. The owners are remolding and the layout and location are a winner. It’s not a fancy, high end place but, that’s the whole point. Because of the size and concentration of amenities, you’ll probably make some new friends seeing the other guests often.

This property reminded me of a Girl Scout camp that has cabins and is kept up by volunteers.
Many of the reviews say the place is being renovated. It makes me wonder what it was like before their “renovations”. From the huge dead roach on the floor behind the bed, the blinds that were scotch taped to the front door, to the paint on the floor in the bathroom, the dirty windows, the splitting wood and peeling paint on the front porch, the rocking chair on the porch that had a slate missing to the stained - stained - stained cushion covering the missing slate on the rocking chair. Did I mention the first room they put me in still had food in the refrigerator, dirt on the floor and literally a full drawer missing. They told me they knew the drawer was missing and added the room was under construction. I asked them why they would put a guest in a room that was under construction but they didn’t say anything after that. The ceiling fan in the second bungalow didn’t work and the sink was dirty as well as the light above the cabinets were fluorescent bulbs with no cover. In the second room there was someone’s leftover beer in the freezer. Needless to say I left early. It turned me off to the whole island.

Run down

Checking in took almost 3 hours -our first room was not cleaned and then our replacement room/cabin was full of wasps - not one or two - I think we counted 15 and there was apparently a next in the ceiling cap of the ceiling fan . Jackson (maintenance hero) got the wasps taken care of but we couldn't get in the cabin for a while - other than that BOB was great - a bit run down, but being renovated by the new owners. Beach was awesome, bar was a bonus, pool needs some work but was clean and refreshing. All the people working were very nice and friendly - a real plus was the nightly entertainment - - - Bingo on Tues, Trivial Pursuit on Wed, Steak Nite Thu and Live Music on Fri -

Needs upgrades. It is in poor condition. A lot of rot on porches . pluming ect. It is a great sit lots to do on site. They are trying to fix up but along way to go.

Nice location and they had nightly events (performers, bingo, karaoke, etc.). I'm hoping the new owners will work on refreshing everything. Things are a bit run down and broken. We could have used another nightstand or table. We didn't have a table on the porch or in the room, so eating at our room was difficult.

The staff was very welcoming and really made you feel at home. Never had an empty glass and the food was great. The bungalows were very clean and had everything you needed.

My new island favorite!! Wish I had found this place sooner!! Owners are wonderful and are making this lil place a gem!
5.0
I loved that this was beachfront and that they had an on-site restaurant that served B, L & D. I liked that you could check out paddleboards, kayaks and snorkel equipment for free. I liked that there were individual bungalows instead of a hotel setting. I just loved staying here! We enjoyed playing with TD aka Tiny Dog and the six cats that stayed there especially Rosie. Yes, the bathrooms could use a little updating, but the other features outweighed anything like that by far. I would love to return here.

Staff is amazing! The bungalows are so cute and it’s all you need for a long stay or quick getaway. Just a walk from the bungalows to the restaurant-amazing food and drinks, right onto the beach. Quiet and peaceful at night. Great music and entertainment. Dogs are allowed and you can even visit with the bush dogs and cruzan cats that live there. Great snorkeling as well. One of our favorite places on the island!

The cottage was very good, however the toilet did not work!
It also looked like the toilet water was standing for awhile, the bacteria stained inside the toilet circumference.
The a/c was a little too loud. Overall it was a nice stay!

Great location inChristiansted. Property is right on Cheney Bay with a pool.
The facilities are a bit run down and could use an upgrade.
However we would definitely go there again.

We stayed in 2013 and again 2023. Recently under new owner. Planning MASSIVE renovation. Bungaloos a little dated but sufficient. New restaurant with limited menu but great food. Delicious! Staff is friendly and accomodating. Very nice beach. If you want a quiet laid back time this is the place. Not the typical tourist vacation...more low key and laid back. It is my go to place to recharge my batteries.

Gorgeous location, friendly staff. Cottages need updating. TV never worked the entire week we were there. Beautiful views and beachfront can’t be beat.
Would love to see updated bathrooms and quality mattresses but would still come back and stay.

One of the best views on island. Nice calm water and great place for water activities. I would strongly recommend this property. New owners are working hard to bring this property back to its former glory

Jimmy and Stephanie just recently took this resort over and have done an incredible job. We throughly enjoyed our stay as parents to a 4 month old. The cottage was perfect location, great view and they had incredible food! They have big plans to remodel and uplevel the place and it was lovely to be part of their journey. The beach was fantastic and their bar was modern as well. Hands down a great value with above and beyond service from all the staff. We will be coming back!

That it was family owned and operated.
The Thorpe family are an incredible team of hard workers. Also, Elizabeth who was so friendly and pleasant every day. Will definitely go back next year ! Can’t wait to see the changes.
Thank you for a great vacation spot
