Nice and cozy bed and breakfast. Magnificent view over the town and harbour. Breakfast was served every morning, but there was only one choice which might not suit everybody, would have been nice with a more healthy choice as second option.

Mark and Jess were both so nice to us and went way above and beyond! We had an early excursion and they found us a taxi that was willing to wake up early for us…but also promised to drive us if they taxi slept in! Breakfast was great every day and the view is amazing! Great location to downtown where you can walk to in 5 min or so. They also just bought Hotel 1829 which is close by and that looked very nice as well! We plan to go back.

Beautiful views & rooms were decorated with the ocean vibe. Breakfast was quite tasteful each morning. Ochio the dog was quite entertaining. Jess & her husband are very kind & helpful. Excellent location. Highly recommend this small, quaint B&B.

Wonderful hosts with many amenities offered especially for beachgoers. Jessica's breakfasts were amazing! Having breakfasts with spectacular views of the harbor was a great way to start each day! The B&B is nestled in the hill overlooking the harbor and you can easily get to the town by stairs. The B&B is also within driving distance to two beautiful beaches, one of which we were able to snorkel with turtles! Highly recommend this B&B.

This b&b exceeded expectations. The owners could not have been more kind or accommodating. The daily breakfast was delicious, the rooms were beautiful and comfortable, the location was great and their dog gave us so much love & tail wags. Their front office had snorkels, sunscreen, bug spray, beach towels, they have thought of everything. We will 100% stay here or at their new Hotel 1829 on a future trip! Thank you, Mark & Jess!!!

We got very lucky with this B&B. Marc and Jess were very welcoming. Their property has a lot of history dating back to 1804. It still has that charm and character, but at the same time it is fully renovated and provides all modern amenities. In addition, it has an amazing view of the bay and excellent service to top it all of: lovely breakfast, pool, use of beach chairs, beach towels and snorkeling gear. We would be very happy to stay here again if we return to St Thomas.

My wife and I just spent 3 nights at At Home In The Tropics. I cant say enough about how nice our stay was. Jess, Mark and Lauren were all fantastic hosts. The breakfast in the mornings were unique and delicious. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the property is located just a short ride from everything in St Thomas. We will definitely be returning and staying here!

We loved being so close to many dining and shopping options while also feeling tucked away from everything.

Very welcoming . . . and accomodating, during our 6-day stay. The owner went the extra mile and loaned us his phone charger and gave us duct tape for a luggage repair. Breakfast never disappointed us-yummy! Especially fond of the warm lights outside our window on the bank. At Home in the Tropics makes you feel like you are home sweet home. Comfy and chill. Dogs were a bonus addition too!

Property owners Jess and Mark have a jewel of a spot with vistas directly overlooking the Bay. Our stay was unforgettable and so was the hospitality.

Jess and Mark were remarkable hosts. They offered us snorkel equipment, chairs and a cooler to bring to the beach which made things so easy. The property is just a short walk to downtown to restaurants and shopping. Currently there is construction going on behind the hotel but it really wasn't bothersome. Breakfast was served restaurant style, a varied menu daily and delicious. The hotel itself is rustic, intimate, island style and very comfortable. There are several steps to get in and out of the property but that is typical being on a steep hill. Definitely recommend.
