Our Directions From Airport to Tropical Getaway in Bolongo ...




From the airport:

Welcome to St. Thomas! We appreciate you visiting.

Pretty pretty please do not show up on island without your transportation pre-arranged. We highly recommend that you rent a car for your stay. In the long run you will find it worth the freedom to get around the island at minimum for the first few days while you get settled in.

Should you decide not to rent a car then let us know ahead of time so we can recommend a driver that knows how to get to the rental. Should you show up on island without transportation in place you will find it daunting to get here.

After getting your car:
First thing to remember is that we drive on the left hand side of the road! So keep Left!

- Follow Airport Road, driving parallel to air strip until you come to a T intersection.
- Turn right. ( marked A on above map)
- Continue straight to waterfront (water on your right / downtown on your left)
- Stay in the right lane as the left lane will take you a turn you don't want to make.
- Once out of downtown area you will come to an intersection with lights ( marked B on above map)
- Take a right.
- Continue straight. Yacht Haven Grande will come up on your right.
- You will come to an intesection with Wendy's on your right.
- Continue straight thorough intersection lights. You will pass through Havensight.
- Get in the left lane as the right lane will take you into the shopping area.
- Once out of Havensight continue straight until you reach a yield sign. ( marked D on above map)
- Take a left at yield sign. Dumpsters will be on your left. If you go straight this will lead you to the Marriot (turn around if you make this error).
- Continue down this road.
- You will pass Antilles school on your left then Limetree Resort on your right then Green Cay on your right.
- You are close!

Continue until you see a sign on your right to "Regatta Point Villas" "Sea Cliff Villas" "Seaside Bistro"




Be very careful if you are using google maps.
They will want to route you up the wrong street before you get to ours that does not go through.
If anyone has connections to Google Map to fix this that would be awesome.


Ignore google maps and continue until you see St. Thomas Dive Shop on right ...



Slow down you are almost to our road.

Immediately on your left you will see 4 utitlity boxes ...


Turn left here!

IF YOU ARE COMING FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION (FROM THE EAST) : then after you see
Bolongo Beach Resort Entrance on your left slow down - we will be the next right immediately around the corner.

You are now on our road Yippeee!
Google maps calls this Bolime Street

You will see the road go straight or to the right by the yellow house - go straight.



The road is an "island road" which means that it has "character" with a few bumps along the way and it is a two way street wide enough for one car.


Should you come in a head on with another car then one of you will need to pull to the side (may need to back up) in one of the many cubby holes to let the other pass.


You will take this winding road up - more up and even more up - about a third of a mile - stay on the main road avoiding going into driveways.


The first fork in the road merge left...




You will then come up on what looks like a creepy monster tree. Keep going...

monster tree

About half way up there is a switch back / don't go straight on dirt road / instead take very sharp turn up and to the right ...

- after the switch back - keep going straight ...

 

on your right - black gate with stone pillars ... keep going..

black gate

on your right ... house with roosters on fence - keep going ...




on your left you will then come up on a large white house with pillars ...

...here the road will round up to the left - we are the next house above this house.



... 14A Bolongo on your left - Keep going!

 


Look for round house (owners home) and driveway with large white rock on left and palm tree on the right.

Turn left into this driveway.

This is the house! You win!

There is a parking space immediately left after turning up on the driveway that is yours.
It is easiest to drive to the top of the drive way (to the left), turn around then come back down into it your spot.
You may park up on the grassy area if it is easier for you.



The door has a lock code. We will give you the combination. If you are VRBO then it should be in welcome message.

Sometimes the housekeeper will have it open for you with island music playing in the back ground.

Let yourselves in, make yourselves comfortable, relax, & enjoy the view!

There will be a welcome sheet on the counter with passcode to WIFI and other useful information.

Call us if you have any issues.

Thanks for renting with us!
