Paradise

Beautifully decorated condo on luscious grounds in a gated community. Condo is conveniently located but still lots of privacy. Condo was very clean and has everything you need for a day at the beach.There is a restaurant within walking distance that was excellent! We will definitely return! Wasabi mash potatoes!

Wonderful little cottage very close to a beautiful beach

This little place was wonderful! Very clean and stocked with whatever you may need to cook and head down to the beach. The beach that is close to the house, Chenay Bay, is absolutely beautiful. Quiet, shady and secluded, it was our go to after exploring other areas of the island. You can walk, but you really should rent a car if you’re going to St. Croix. Cheeseburger in Americas Paradise is a couple minute walk and has great food and drinks. We had a wonderful stay and we can’t wait to go back to this beautiful place!!

Did not want to leave

Truly enjoyed this condo. Although it has no ocean view, it has a great pool and a perfect location near many excellent restaurants. The condo is well equipped, everything is in perfect working condition. The nearby beach is beautiful and easily accessible by car. The property Manager ensured everything met our expectations. Thank you.

Well maintained older units in quiet, convenient location

We were very pleased with the cleanliness, decor and convenience of this unit. The water filter was especially appreciated, as we had purchased way too many cases of bottled water on our last visit to the island. The location was also much quieter, to our liking, than a previous stay in the Christiansted urban area. The renovated pool is a great amenity. If we had any constructive criticism, the grounds, plantings and landscaping could be improved, but we agree that the investment in the pool improvements are more important.

Lovely Place

If you just plan to stay away from people this is the perfect spot. We loved everything about it but we couldn't get a taxi or uber to take us to different parts of the Island. If you stay here, rent a car and go to the store for food for before the grill opens at Cheeseburger in Paradise. The beach is within walking distance, but nothing else other then Cheeseburger in Paradise (inexpensive drinks). We DID really enjoy staying with only being able to get food after 4pm, hopefully that will change.

A Place To Call Home

My wife and I stayed here for 7 days. It wasn't hard to imagine that this was our own apartment, and we loved it. After a day of activities on the island, it was a pleasure to come home to a clean place, gated and secure place, and a refreshing, huge salt water pool. We loved being in a gated community. The few regular tenants we met were kind. The place cools down fairly quickly. The kitchen essentials were a nice addition. We left salt and two drinking glasses to pay it forward to next guests. The laundry machine is our only gripe. It didnt work very well. on the "normal" setting, it filled with water and stopped. had to drain and spin to get it to reset. Other than that is a great place to call home for a week. We'll be back...hopefully the washing machine gets fixed though.

What a fantastic time we had staying at this beautiful property and exploring the island! Everything we could have wanted was located in the condo and property. Beautiful, calm decor, clean, well appointed and a great location! Walking distance from a beach, bar and grill and awesome information from the host identifying all the great restaurants, beaches and places to explore on the island. We will be back!
