About this apartment rental
On the East End of St. Thomas, this beautiful, newly decorated condo is oceanfront on Cowpet Bay and is part of the Cowpet Bay West community. It is ideally located having the Elysian Beach Resort's two restaurants, pool bar, and private resort pool with hot tub on this shared property. Minutes from Red Hook and the ferry to St. John and other virgin island destinations, this 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo sleeps 2-6 people comfortably and has AC, WiFi, washer and dryer and DISH TV. It is likewise ideal for families and even has a high chair and crib/Pack 'n Play.
From the minute you walk into "Mermaid Cove," you will be transported to a Caribbean paradise. An island flair greets you throughout---starting with the inviting palm tree entry foyer. Each bedroom has a beautiful view and tropical ambiance. The garden bedroom sleeps 4 having two twin beds that can be set up as one king as well as a daybed with pop-up twin trundle bed that rolls out. This bedroom overlooks the garden which is filled with many colorful varieties of flora. The garden side patio has a barbecue grill as well as lounge chairs so you can enjoy the picturesque surroundings. The ocean bedroom has a queen size bed with its own separate entrance patio overlooking the magnificent turquoise waters of Cowpet Bay. This is a perfect spot to enjoy breakfast as you start your day or a glass of wine as you watch the awe-inspiring moonrise. The newly renovated garden bedroom's bathroom has a beautiful shower with a custom designed one-of-a-kind mural that has been created exclusively for "Mermaid Cove." The ocean bedroom's bathroom which has just been renovated has a glass enclosed shower with beautiful turquoise glass tile with tiny seashells scattered within. New fixtures, vanity, quartz counter top, toilet and accessories enhance the master bedroom suite. Each bathroom has a separate sink and vanity area for multi-functionality.
The living room and dining room are one very spacious room tastefully decorated for a warm, welcoming island life style. New lighting, sofa, loveseat, and beautiful white palm leaf paddle fan draw your attention immediately. The sofa is a queen size sleeper sofa which adds additional options for sleeping arrangements and makes "Mermaid Cove" capable of sleeping 8 in beds. The best feature of this area is the breathtaking Caribbean Sea view. New vertical blinds have been installed for evening privacy if desired, but when fully open not an inch of that view has been obscured. A flat screen TV with satellite DISH network can be enjoyed at this central location along with a new DVD player for any favorite movies you may choose to bring. The freshly painted balcony patio has new patio furniture where your family and guests can enjoy conversation and having a meal together.
The kitchen has just been renovated with new custom cabinets, quartz counter tops, new appliances, farm sink, and lighting. It has everything you need and more! It is very well stocked with dishes, glassware, stainless, pots and pans, etc. You can pack light and avoid baggage fees and lines by making use of the convenient washer and dryer----especially if you are a family with children.
Cowpet Bay beach has many amenities. A beach hut steps away from your beach lounge sells drinks as well as various other items. Kayaks and other beach toys are available to rent. Beach chairs are plentiful and finding your favorite type of location is easy be it a shady spot under a palm tree or a sunny one where you can work on your tan. The guests of "Mermaid Cove" also can use the Elysian Beach Resort's pool and hot tub. A digital key and passes to the pool's gated entrance are provided for you. This is a private membership that not all Cowpet Bay condos offer. The pool is perfect for children and they just love the waterfall grotto that is centrally located in the pool for their amusement. New patio tables, umbrellas, and chaise lounges surround the pool making it a great place for a day of relaxation and lunch together.
Exploring the island is a must! Coolers, 6 collapsible beach chairs, and beach umbrella are there for your use. Be sure to visit Coki Beach and Magen's Bay but go early!!! Cowpet Bay West is a gated, upscale community within walking distance of the St. Thomas Yacht Club and our next door neighbor the Ritz Carlton.
We certainly hope you become our guests and share the beauty of St. Thomas, "Mermaid Cove" and all that the Virgin Islands have to offer. Please contact me with any questions you may have. So excited to share our beautiful island paradise and "Mermaid Cove" with you!

We stayed in august ‘24 at Mermaid Cove. The place was well maintained and the host was very quick to respond on any questions including suggestions on beaches, activities, and dining. My 3 kids were easily all able to share the second bedroom - in fact a 4th kid would have fit comfortably! August was a great time - as nothing was crowded in the area.

Mermaid Cove was our home away from home! Located in a perfect, safe area with easy access to all the beautiful parts of St. Thomas! Ferry is located so close to get to St. John’s! The kitchen is a dream to prepare and cook food in. The whole condo is clean and well taken care of. You also have your own grill to cook on! We will definitely stay here again if we find ourselves in St. Thomas!

Wonderful amenities, anything you might need for your stay is here. We enjoyed trying to find all the mermaids to throughout the space. We loved relaxing in the breeze on the balcony every day. The owner was very responsive. Having the beach, pool and restaurants so close was great. We will definitely stay here again.

The condo was exactly as stated. We had a wonderful time. The location was great with a beautiful beach and view. We enjoyed being near Red Hook which had lots of restaurant choices, grocery store and ferry to St. John. Jacqueline was very responsive. We would stay here again!

The condo was beautiful - beds and furniture were very comfortable. Communication with the owner was prompt and easy. This was our third time staying at Cowpet Bay but the last time was 15 years ago. The location is fantastic. I love that there are bars and restaurants that we can walk to from the condo and Red Hook is just a short drive away. The owner was very helpful and I would definitely rent from her again!

This was our, family of 4 including 2 college age sons, first visit to St Thomas, and it’s was great. A big part of the success of the week was the great condo and suggestions from Jackie! This condo had the perfect layout for us, as well as the perfect location. We did rent a car and visited the beaches on the east side of the island. Magen’s Bay was our favorite and Coki our least favorite. It was too crowded for us, but we did enjoy Coral World on Coki Point. Our host was so helpful with list of notes and answered any questions very quickly. Having coolers and chairs available for us to use was also great.
The condo is close to Red Hook, so we were able to catch the ferry to St John for an all day trip to beaches for snorkeling.
This was a great condo, great host, and the best way to spend winter break!
Thanks Jackie!!!

We stayed eight nights and loved that we were so close to everything. Minutes from the restaurants and stores in Red Hook.
A short walk to a great beach and the pool. The house was well equipped, clean, roomy and the owners were friendly and very helpful. Would stay again for sure.

Very maintained property with a private beach and a few eats just steps away. Loved Jackie’s condo and the views from the balcony!!
Condo and property look just as pictured online. Great location to the town of Red Hook 5 mins down the road with many restaurants, shopping, hang outs, a grocery store and the Red Hook ferry to St. John. Condo is about 25 mins away from the town Charlotte Amalie, mountain top look out and paradise point sky ride. We spent an amazing week in St. Thomas & will definitely be back soon!!

Our family enjoyed a great week in this condo! The kitchen was beautifully remodeled and fully equipped, including an ice maker which was a great bonus. Both bathrooms and showers were very nice. The view from the balcony was outstanding and the property was a very short drive into Red Hook for shopping and restaurants. The beach on site was small but very nice and uncrowded and there were always chairs available. We also enjoyed Lindquist Beach which was only minutes away as well as some other beaches that were a bit further. We would definitely return.

The views of Cowpet Bay from the terrace are spectacular. The pictures do not do it justice. The condo itself is clean, comfortable and extremely well equipped. We loved our family vacation here and are grateful for the opportunity to stay here. Thank you Jackie. Fellow travelers, book with confidence.

We had a wonderful time at this property. The beach is gorgeous and location perfect if you want to get out and explore, especially taking the ferry over to the other islands. There are some stairs to get down to the beach but nothing that slowed us down. Lovely decorations, comfortable beds, and gorgeous views. We'll come back!

I had an amazing stay. The property is in a great location conveniently located close enough to all the things I wanted to do. The view was amazing. Everything worked. The storm that threatened missed us and the weather was great! The bedrooms are large and accomodating. The kitchen is very nice, the AC was cool enough for the parents... I will be back!

It was very accommodating in every way especially the Kitchen. It had all the amenities of home, and it was very clean and spacious. The view was amazing from the Beach Side balcony. The living room was very comfortable, and we can't say enough about how great this property was for our family.

This was our first time using Vrbo (or this type of service). I was skeptical, worried that I would feel like I was in someone's personal space; however, that was not the case at all. The condo is nicely decorated, giving you the beach vibe. It had everything you could possibly need for enjoying the beach, cooking a meal, and having a cocktail. The host, Jackie, was such a pleasure to deal with from the very first message sent. She responded promptly, answering all questions and providing additional details beyond what was asked. The overall experience far exceeded our expectations in every aspect. We highly recommend dealing with Jackie and her property to anyone looking for a wonderful vavation in St. Thomas.

Mermaid Cove was exactly as advertised and certainly lived up to all of the previous 5-star reviews that we read before booking. We really liked having the option of taking advantage the local pool and beach (our girls found a starfish on the evening we arrived!). The location is very secure and super convenient to groceries (we found Food Center had the best variety with the best prices) as well as the Red Hook restaurants and ferry to St. John. Our favorite restaurant turned out to be Sunset Grille at Secret Harbor Beach (which also had excellent snorkeling) and our favorite beach was Magens Bay Beach which was literally perfect. And, as a bonus, we found a gem in the spectacular fish tacos at The Shack taco truck at nearby Hull Bay beach. All of that said, the hospitality demonstrated by Jackie was one of the highlights of our trip. Prior to our arrival, she provide a trove of helpful information including very detailed instructions as well as recommendations for groceries, restaurants and things to do. Additionally, when a very minor issue popped up, Jackie went exceedingly above-and-beyond to address the issue very promptly and ensured we were well taken care of. We sincerely enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Mermaid Cove - and Jackie!

Our family stayed at Mermaid Cove at the end of July. The pictures don't do this villa justice. Jackie has thought of everything and more! Such lovely seashore and mermaid decor, and the view is absolutely breathtaking ! We loved Caribbean Fish Market (one of the restaurants on property and totally walkable) for Sunday Brunch (make reservations). Although we were quite disappointed with Carribean Fish Market when we returned another night for dinner. I was quite upset to find out that the very same lobster dish I got there, was half the price at their sister resteraunts in Red Hook. We loved Pesce Italian and Agave Mexican (2 of their sister resteraunts in Red Hook). We enjoyed the beach at Cowpet Bay and took Jackie's advice and went over to Secret Harbor Beach....literally minutes away. Lovely beach, fun platform for the kids to jump off of, and some decent snorkeling. I think there is a dive shop there too. Unfortunately, we waited until the last day to take the ferry over to St. John....you need reservations for the car ferry....and cash for the 1 company. However we found another company we could book and pay for online. Make sure to make those reservations a few days in advance if you want to head over to St John. I wish we had gone over earlier in our stay. Trunk Bay was the most beautiful beach we saw. I learned the water clarity and amount of sargussum all depends on the time of year you are going and the tides I guess. I have seen pictures, from friends, of some of the beaches we went to that were full of Sargussum, that were just absolutely stunning when our friends were there. So don't be disappointed if you get to a beach and it's not exactly what you were picturing....there are so many beaches to explore on the island. Plus you have St John just a quick ferry ride away! We will be returning to explore more of St John! Hopefully next summer! Jackie was an amazing host and was always available whenever I had a question. She returned my texts and my calls immediately. She's a fantastic host and you couldn't find a better place in this price range, I am sure of it! It's a great deal and in a great location! Just book it! You won't regret it! I did tons of research and I am so happy I decided to go with Mermaid Cove at Cowpet Bay!

Fantastic!
This condo was amazing and even better than it looks in the pictures. It was clean, bright, and open, the kitchen was well-stocked and the beds were comfortable. My kids especially loved the pool, and both the pool and the beach were nice and not too crowded. We even went to a couple of other beaches and realized our "home" beach was our favorite... quite convenient :) The owner was also fantastic, providing a lot of useful instructions and information, and was very responsive. I would love to stay here again!

Absolutely wonderful!
Our family had a wonderful stay in St. Thomas and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mermaid Cove villa. It is a great location, accommodations were comfortable and convenient and the view was amazing. It is a great location close to Red Hook to explore many beautiful beaches and catch the ferry to St. John. Jaqueline made the process easy and had great communication with us. We will definitely be back!

Excellent
We did have a minor issue with check-in for 4 PM. The cleaners thought we were arriving the next day, so it was almost 6 PM before we could enter the apartment. Not a big problem for us.
We had a great time and enjoyed our stay at Jackie's place. The home is furnished with everything you need and more! We loved the fully furnished kitchen. We enjoyed meals on the balcony which provided a beautiful breeze and a spectacular panoramic view of the ocean. The property sits hillside to provide that beautiful view which also means you will need to decline down that hill to the beach and pool. After consuming those amazing drinks at the poolside bar, I actually enjoyed climbing the 82 steps each way. I didn't feel as guilty :). If you have mobility issues, it may be a problem but they do have benches along the way to rest. My sister-in-law has muscular issues and opted to use a taxi. The Wyndham gave a direct number of one of their employees who didn't require any notice and was extremely reliable.
Jackie is extremely responsive if you need anything. During our stay the hot water didn't work and upon notifying Jackie, her repair man arrived the next day and fixed the issue.
We would definitely stay again!

Fantastic trip for our family! This condo has the perfect layout for parents and their kids. This was our 3rd time on the island, but we've previously been on the northwest shore. This location was incredibly convenient to everything. We prefer having the house open and it was very comfortable that way! Great beach, pool and restaurants in the development.

Simply Amazing
This rental was a dream for our family of 4! There’s plenty of space, a gorgeous view and a washer and dryer if needed. The kitchen is stunning and the two bathrooms were newly renovated. Jacqueline was super helpful! She gave great recommendations that made our stay even better than the last. We will be renting here again for sure.

Great location and amenities
Property was just as described in listing. Well-kept, nicely decorated and clean. Great price! Nice to have a full kitchen and two bathrooms for our family. Close to private beach with swimming area and some snorkeling, large pool, hot tub, restaurant and beach side bistro all within a few minutes walk. Quiet complex . Other restaurants, beaches and parks are a few minute drive away.

Exactly As Advertised
Fantastic stay at Mermaid Cove. Very well equipped and comfortable. We overpacked with things like beach toys and floats; no need! There are sandcastle building supplies in the closet and pool noodles, as well as coolers, chairs and an umbrella. Pack about half the clothes that you think you need because you’ll just live in your swimsuit and the washer/dryer in the unit are great! Don’t forget to bring your own shampoo.
The property is 20 minutes from the best beach on the island (Magen’s Bay Beach) and 5 minutes to Red Hook to catch the ferry to St. John, get groceries or have a reasonably priced meal. Do not bother with Caribbean Fish Market restaurant on the property (waaaay overpriced for portions and quality, in our opinion). Go into Red Hook and grab a big pizza from Island Pub or hit up Duffy’s Love Shack on Wednesday night for lobsters.
The beach and pool are well maintained, clean and convenient, but are a tad small and crowded. They are are great for your first day while you’re tired from travel. The pool is open and well lit at night, a bonus for kiddos! The view from the condo is truly stunning. The patio is large, breezy and just lovely.
The only downside is that the property is not disability/mobility accessible, but that is the whole island, not just the condos, due to the mountainous terrain. Just something to think about if you have an elderly family member, anyone who struggles with stairs, or a stroller. Again, that’s basically all of the USVI.
The best part of the property is that it was extremely quiet! For a condominium we heard next to no noise, and there were no partying tourists. Very family friendly and felt extremely safe.
Very friendly hosts who clearly take pride in their property and have thought through the details. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Awesome Condo with SO many Amenities
We just got back from STT. This unit, is nicely decorated, updated appliances and cabinetry. Jackie had everything she says, her beds are comfortable, kitchen is well stocked with utensils, dishes and cookery. This was the 5th time we've stayed at the Cowpet West complex and the grounds, pool and restaurant's are very well maintained. Jackie provides beach chairs, ice chests and noodles. All a great thing to use daily as you beach hop. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Beautiful condo!
The condo was perfect for our family of 5 with 3 children. We had plenty of space to spread out and loved being able to hang out at the beach and pool at the resort at the end of the day.
