The villa
Remodelled, December 2025
Fully air-conditioned throughout, with a back-up generator for island outages. A private residence: no other guests, and the pool is yours alone.
Inside the gated community of Mahogany Run, with security staffed around the clock.
Through a gated entry and down a short flight of steps that descends through tropical planting — the main house on one level, a separate pavilion suite across the pool deck, and guest quarters with their own kitchen below.
Evenings
The best hour is the last one
The trade winds drop, the outer islands go pink, and the sunset lighting comes on along the deck. Dinner is served where the view is — the veranda table seats everyone, with the grill a few steps away.
Guests describe not leaving the house for days at a time. This is usually why.
Pool & deck
A deck that runs out into open water
The pool sits between the main house and the pavilion suite, with loungers along the rail and nothing in front of them but ocean and islands.
Heating is available at $45 a night — ask at least a day ahead, since it takes about that long to come up to temperature. A free-standing hot tub was added for the winter season, a few steps from the pool.
Inside
Two kitchens, one of them serious
A second full kitchen sits downstairs with the guest quarters, so two families never queue for the same coffee maker. Guests routinely call the kitchen the best-stocked they have used.
A chef's kitchen on the main level — stone island, professional range, its own ice maker, hand-set terracotta star tile — opening straight onto the living room and the covered patio.
The remodel
Designed, not decorated
Ashley found her way into interior design restoring hurricane-damaged homes here in the Virgin Islands, alongside her husband. Demand did the rest: she now runs full projects with her own team, working with local contractors and sourcing the furnishings herself. Her particular talent is making a space work harder than its square footage suggests — which is why twelve people fit here without anyone feeling crowded.
Wild Ginger was finished in December 2025. The blue-green cabinetry, the hand-set terracotta star tile, the brass that has already begun to warm — all of it was chosen for this house, not ordered from a catalogue.
“One of the other adults in our group is an interior designer and she was LOVING all of the design elements.”
Danielle · April 2026
Where you'll sleep
Five bedrooms, five bathrooms, nothing to negotiate
Every bedroom has an ocean view and its own full bath. No sharing, no waiting, no drawing straws on arrival.
Pool pavilion suite
King · Own pavilion
A separate pavilion on the far side of the pool deck, with its own en-suite bath. The most private room in the house.
Bedroom three
Queen · Lower level
Ocean view, en-suite bath, and the quiet of the lower floor.
Bedroom four
Queen · Lower level
Twin windows onto the water, en-suite bath, steps from the second kitchen.
Studio suite
Queen · Lower level
Shares the lower kitchen and living room, which holds a full-size pull-out sofa — good for children, and the sixth bed in the house.
Five en-suite baths
One per bedroom
All five were rebuilt in the remodel. Several have a window over the shower with a view worth lingering in.
The layout
How the house is arranged
Three parts: the main level, the pavilion suite across the pool, and the guest quarters below.
The main level and the lower level connect by two outdoor staircases, not internal stairs. It is what makes the lower floor genuinely private — and it is worth knowing in advance if you are travelling with very young children.
Where you'll be
Above the north shore, behind a gate
A quiet residential hillside on the Northside of St. Thomas, inside a gated community with security staffed 24 hours. Good roads for walking and running, and the beaches a short drive down the hill.

Good to know
Before you book
Do we need a car?
Yes. Stores and restaurants are 15–25 minutes away, taxis can be infrequent or costly, and there is no Uber or Lyft in the U.S. Virgin Islands. We can recommend a reliable driver if you would rather not drive.
Can the pool be heated?
Yes — $45 per night. Please ask at least 24 hours ahead, as it takes about a full day to reach temperature.
What happens in a power outage?
The villa has a back-up generator. Guests have stayed a full week through island outages without losing power.
How do the two levels connect?
By two separate outdoor staircases — there are no internal stairs between the main level and the guest quarters below. It is what makes the lower floor so private, and worth planning around with toddlers.
Check-in and check-out?
Self check-in by lockbox after 4:00 PM. Check-out before 10:00 AM. Twelve guests maximum.
Are there hidden fees?
No. The price you see includes all fees.
