The Waterfront Cottage on Providence Point is one of the most beautiful settings in the Virgin Islands. Providence Point is a privately owned peninsula on Water Island, U.S.V.I. The Waterfront Cottage and Apartments Property includes several accommodations. You can rent just the cottage or one of the apartments.
Water Island is only a five-minute ferry ride away from St. Thomas, however it will seem as though you are a million miles away. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful Water Island awaits you and The Waterfront Cottage gives you access to all of its wonder.
Providence Point is singularly spectacular. With the Caribbean Sea surrounding the point it will seem like you are on a private island. Private dock, a small private beach, close access to beautiful Honeymoon Beach, a private pool... It is simply magnificent. In this paradise there will be no neighbors, no interruptions, just you and relaxation. Although private you are not isolated, the owners are on location and can assist you.
Water Island is the fourth and newest Virgin Island. At a little less than 500 acres, Water Island is a slice of America's Paradise. Quiet, tranquil beauty awaits you. One of the loveliest locations on Water Island is Providence Point, a private peninsula surrounded by the blue sea. The only residence on the Point is the Waterfront Cottage and Apartments property. Staying at the Cottage is a magnificent island retreat. So come join us for a fantastic vacation.

Continental flies direct from Newark and US Airways has direct service from Philadelphia and from Charlotte, North Carolina. There are many airlines flying to St. Thomas from San Juan Puerto Rico.
How to get to Water Island: From the Airport - Take a taxi to "Tickles Restaurant in Crown Bay Marina" Ask to go to the sidewalk by Tickles building or the taxi will leave you where it is easier for them to park and you'll have a longer walk. The ferry to Water Island is a small launch with room for 25 passengers and luggage (Yes we put the luggage on the roof!). There is no car barge. The price is $4 each way. Say Hello to Steve who owns the ferry.
The ferry has a new owner - this is the latest schedule. The Ferry leaves St. Thomas at 6:30 AM, 7:15, 8:00, 10:00, Noon, 2:00, 4:15, 5:15 & 6:00.

There are late runs on Wednesday during the "tourist" season. Sunday and Holidays - From St. Thomas at 8:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM From Water Island at 8:15, 11:15, 1:15 and 5:15.
What to Bring - nothing! Well, almost nothing. One visitor came to Water Island with nothing more than a purse. When asked where her luggage was she responded, "In my purse I have my bikini. Do I need anything else?" She's right. It is comical to see visitors arrive with suitcases upon suitcases of long pants and sweat shirts and evening gowns. Consider - the weather is never colder than 70 degrees - never hotter than 95. I advise - Two shorts, two T-shirts, two sneakers, enough socks and underwear for the time period. One long sleeve shirt or pullover (in case the evening 70 degrees feels "cool" to you) A beach wrap, hat (mandatory) sunscreen, mosquito spray, sandals, surf shoes or surf mocs, toothbrush and whatever. PACK LIGHT... You don't need much here. Long pants? Yes - light weight long sleeve shirt and light long pants are good if we have a buggy evening. Or if you plan to hike the "outback. " A bathing suit is necessary. One is enough. It will dry between uses. No coats, jackets or sweaters unless you freeze in July.
