St. Thomas has a plethora of activities, tours and incredible shopping, not all that can be experienced in just one week. Plus, remember that we are under the US Flag, so grocery stores and pharmacies are stocked with the familiar stateside items, as well as real bargains on certain items.

 Our Sister Island, St. John

A trip to the Virgin Islands would not be complete without a day trip to our sister island of St. John. The Beach House is a 30-minute to drive to the Red Hook Ferry dock; from there, St. John is a 20-minute ferry ride. The ferries to/from St. Thomas and St. John leave every hour on the hour between 7 am and 11 pm. There is great dining and shopping on this sleepy little island, along with some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Trunk Bay was named third most beautiful beach countless years in a row. St. John is definitely not an island you want to miss.
