This location was the perfect blend of unique charm and convenient amenities. The two owners and resident dogs were the perfect hosts!

8/10 Very good

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.

Perfection

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!!!
Rachael, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Mark and Jess were very kind, hospitable hosts who gave fantastic recommendations about sights to see and where to eat, etc. Our stay here was a relaxing, enjoyable get-away that felt like paradise. We truly did feel “at home in the tropics.” Everything was exquisite, from the food to the accommodations, location, and scenery. While on this trip, we fell in love with St. Thomas, and we can’t wait to go back!

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent time At Home in the Tropics. Hosts are fabulous, breakfasts are homemade and fresh, wonderful accommodations and home like feeling. We were returning guests and always stay here when visiting St. Thomas. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great B&B in ST. Thomas. We will return again.

10/10 Exceptional

Mark and Jess truly provide beautiful place for you to stay. Mark is always available for tips on the island and Jess's delectable homemade breakfast is the highlight of each and everyday. This is truly a gem in the tropics, they make each and everyday you stay with them memorable. The rooms are just perfect and views of the harbor are beautiful. I truly believe that Mark and Jess make a home for you in the tropics. See you soon

Perfect!

This was my 2nd time back to At Home at the Tropics? Great location and such an intimate experience. With only 5 rooms, we welcomed getting to know the others guests. The pool is new and clean. And, Jess’ breakfasts were all sooo delicious! We will definitely come back in the future, and recommend this BnB to friends visiting St Thomas!
Laura, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property was absolutely breathtaking! The rooms were clean, bright and airy. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and some of the ingredients were grown right there on the property. Mark and Jess were so wonderful and truly cared about making our trip enjoyable. The B&B was a short walk to downtown/restaurants/shops. Unfortunately, there were quite a few stairs to get back up to the property if walking. I did not mind the stairs as it was a great way to get some exercise on vacation, just not so great for those who are physically disabled. I would definitely recommend this property and look forward to staying at their other property when open, Hotel 1829.

At home in St Thomas

Our 8 day stay at At home in the Tropics was excellent and made more pleasant by the helpfulness of the owners Jess and Mark. The breakfasts were a treat to be looked forward to each day and were varied and tasteful, cooked fresh by Jess each morning. The property is 200 years old but well maintained and a credit to the owners. Everything worked as it should except for a TV glitch that we overcame with Mark's help. We would highly recommend this B & B for any able bodied guest as being on a hilly island results in plenty of steps to negotiate which seemed to get easier after a few days.
CBA, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Mark, Jess and Lauren do magnificent jobs as hosts! They're very welcoming and offer helpful insights into getting around the islands, scheduling taxi pickups, and understanding the local culture. Their guest rooms are very clean, everything works, premises are safe, and breakfasts are delicious!! The view from our balcony of the harbor/bay and many islands was beautiful. The only negative was the weather---heavy rains before and after arrival increased the humidity levels (but room AC was excellent) and rain caused considerable runoff reducing ocean clarity. Taxis are expensive from the airport to hotels and to ferries. We walked throughout the historic district and harbor to sight-see and for dinners, and enjoyed the exercise going up and down the very steep steps and hills. Our best dinner and price was at nearby Greenhouse Restaurant & Bar, and the worst dinner and price(!) was at Greengos Caribbean Cantina. Tap & Still is a great deal too (both on St. Thomas and St. John), if you like tasty burgers and fries. Arawak (recommended by Mark & Jess) did a great job with our kayak/snorkel tour finding calm seas, clear water, beautiful beaches and many, many fish and coral on St. John.

10/10 Exceptional

This B&B was perfect for our anniversary stay after 12 days of party at the BVI regatta. Jessica greeted us on our arrival, and gave us a map with suggestions of events and restaurants. She was in contact daily via text, and even let me borrow some nail polish remover. We like to sleep in & skip breakfast, so she kindly brought a pot of coffee & fruit to our door front every morning. Bring your walking shoes, because At The Tropics is nestled up a hill within 10 minute walk to the main areas of shopping. We loved getting exercise in, especially after living on a catamaran for so long! I track my steps on my Apple Watch & had over 12k steps all 3 days we were there. :) We walked to the cruise harbor area for shopping & dining. We highly recommend Tap & Still for the best hamburgers with the lowest cost we’ve seen out on vaca. We even brought an extra burger back which we ate the next day. At Tropics has a kitchen area outside by the pool with microwave, sink, dishes & 5 gallon water dispenser at your convenience. Also, the pool is accessible at any time of day or night. The days were humid in October, so we looked forward to the pool in the evenings to cool off. The icing on the cake was we had the place to ourselves!! We would definitely stay here again!!

4/10 Fair

The pictures did not do the place justice. The stone stairs that you had to take if you wanted to walk anywhere or incredibly inconvenient. The bed is very hard and when I said something about this to the host, they did not offer anything. I had to ask for an extra comforter to put down to even make this day, manageable. Also, I read on three or four different websites that this place had bed and breakfast. When I arrived, I asked the host that gave us a tour of the place and she stated that they had not done that for a while over a year. I was very disappointed. The pool was very dirty and the place was just not what I was expecting. I will not be staying here again.

The property managers made me feel very welcomed and this property stays locked so me and my girlfriend felt very safe the entire trip. Planning on saving more money and will come back to visit asap. Would recommend to anyone and everyone visiting st Thomas

The place it’s beautiful. Close to everything and you can walk everywhere. The stairs are a workout, but necessary to stay in shape😂. Mark was superb, courteous and helpful. I recommend “At Home In the Tropics” for a quite, walkable, clean and friendly place to stay in St. Thomas!

Property was quaint with an incredible view of the harbor. The room was very clean and was freshened up daily. Owners were very friendly and so accommodating. It was wonderful to have beach chairs, towels, beach blanket, cooler etc provided. The area was very quiet but close to shops and local vendors. Would absolutely stay here again.

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.
