This property has a beautiful panoramic & breathtaking view of the ocean and St. Thomas Bay. It is close to downtown, and simply beautiful. The rooms are simply appointed and very clean. Libby is an excellent host, making guests feel like you're visiting their home. You'll be well taken care of at Island View Guesthouse. Delicious breakfasts also.

This is a lovely looking property from the outside, with a clean pool and a wonderful outdoor seating area for breakfast and drinks. However, the room was in need of a pretty big refresh and did not match the pictures on this site at all. The pictures show bright decorations and linens, rugs, etc. Our room had nothing but the bed with basic linens, a dresser with a few basic trinkets, a very old kitchen with some broken cabinets, and a broken outdoor table on a balcony that had power lines running directly in front of it. It wasn't unlivable, but it definitely was a surprise based on what was shown during booking. The breakfast was small but delicious and the staff was kind. We wouldn't immediately book here again, but we wouldn't not stay if it was the best option available.

The property had great views. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The views to the bay were wonderful. Getting up to the hotel is fairly difficult and it’s recommended that you rent a car to get there. Television and stations are very limited.

Beautiful views and nice people. The small restaurant is closed on sunday night the night we stayed but ordered pizza! Rooms are small but styled and very clean and lots of hot water- which sometimes is an issue o the islands! No bar… just an area with liquor and honor system. Overall very nice stay and close to airport!

My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay. Our room was cute, comfortable and clean. The grounds are lovely - many tropical plants. The saltwater pool is very nice, too. The staff is very kind, gracious and helpful. The food is wonderful. Unfortunately, our schedule didn’t permit us to have dinner, but the restaurant was always full during the dinner hours. The breakfast is perfect! The location above the town provides for a beautiful day and night, and an easy commute to shopping, site seeing, and nearby beaches. I would definitely stay there again. One special feature are the two kitties that are very friendly and love greeting guests.

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
