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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!

My husband and I had a great time at this fantastic Bed and Breakfast Hotel. This time we decided to avoid resorts and feel instead how an islander lives. The location is perfect for exploring the city center with many attractions and restaurants around. Walking around the bay was amazing and walking down and uphill was our perfect amount of daily exercise! We would like to thank the hosts Jess and Mark for being so friendly and welcoming. Also, Lauren who was helping them, she was very sweet and attentive. The room was care for and beautifully prepared, very clean and with everything you need to make your stay at home. They also provide beach accessories such as chairs, blanket and sunscreen. Every morning we have a different and delicious breakfast next to the pool with a stunning view. So if you really want to feel at home but in the tropics, in a quiet and romantic environment, this is definitely your place! We highly recommend it and we will return in a future visit.

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.

If I could give 10 stars I absolutely would! This bed and breakfast is an absolute dream for your short or long stay while in St.Thomas. It's located within Charlotte Amalie and in walking distance or a short taxi ride to most things. Our room was impeccable, comfortable, and inviting. Your hosts Mark and Jess are genuine, welcoming and overall just wonderful people. The delicious breakfast every morning appears to alternate between sweet and savory. Trust me the breakfast won't disappoint you. In closing I will only stay at this property when I return to St.Thomas and I highly recommend you book here too. You will love it!
