This was our first time visiting the USVI and Gordon's Art Loft was the first place we stayed. It is breathtaking as soon as you walk in--lovely touches, an incredible view, and so much character! The art was a tone-setting addition, and my husband delighted in drawing a little masterpiece with the provided art supplies that we took home with us. We spent sweet nights drinking beer on the balcony and listening to the coki frogs. The kitchen is well equipped and we cooked a bit; the house has lots of courtesy items like aloe vera and lotion that you may find you need. Shenell communicated great with us and the directions she gave were excellent. Overall we were immediately at home, and smitten. Sibs was a great rec! And you're close to town.
About the driving: Of the 3 places we stayed on the Virgin Islands, this was the toughest drive. But that isn't to say it's all that hard! You just have to be practical, go slow, stay left, and in a few spots, back up if there's not room for two cars. It's dirt, but it wasn't particularly rutty when we visited in Jan. 2023. If you know how to drive a stick, or can drive camping, or in snow, you're probably going to be fine. If you're a nervous driver, this will probably make you nervous. Know thyself! Protip for those who stay: Park in the first available parking spot. This gives you ample room to turn around when leaving the property. DO NOT attempt to use the nearby driveways as a turnaround point. This is much more difficult.
