Quiet East End with Personal Touch
The Chois were fabulous hosts always available but never in our “space.” The Pirate House has an even better view than the photos show. Indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy them as well as spots that are shady and sunny at any time of the day. We enjoyed the breezes all night (in March) and never even bothered with the AC. Jin and SuynLee took us on the best snorkeling excursion we’ve ever had, treated us to sushi and other amazing food by chef Jin, and he mesmerized us and our 16yo with brain teasers and magic tricks. One of the furthest East places you can stay so don’t miss stargazing at Pt Udall!

A beautiful view and a roomy, quiet, safe, and clean lodging. Jin and his wife are attentive and helpful hosts. We never used a/c during our February stay because we were able to leave screened windows open and enjoy the steady breeze. We would happily stay here again if possible.

The views were outstanding. I would suggest a pair of binoculars. Remember to bring beach towels as they are not supplied. Also, you may want to consider bringing a JBL speaker for music. If you like to read at night be sure and include a book light. It is a perfect condo for two families with a bedroom and bath on either side of the kitchen. The closest beach is an easy 20 minute walk down but remember with the fabulous views it is a bit more of a strenuous walk coming back up to condo. Host was very accommodating when I asked for use of beach chairs. He also supplied a lovely meal of fresh sushi!

We've been to St.Croix many times but this was our first time staying on the east end. Jin was a wonderful host and pointed out a few snorkel spots that we hadn't tried before (Jack Bay via a short hike from the west side, off the beach by the Divi resort and Boiler Bay from Cramer Park Beach). Jin and his wife prepared and shared picnic lunches with my wife and I at Cain Bay and Cramer Park. They also guided us on a snorkel at the Frederiksted pier, pointing out turtles and an eagle ray. Recommend to stay with Jin, to enjoy his wonderful sushi and the best view in St Croix!

Amazing Host, Views, and Stay
Jin and his wife are gracious and welcoming hosts. My husband and I enjoyed staying at their property. Jin met us at a local establishment the first day and showed us the way to their home. He provided a tour of the property which is expanse, well cared for and an amazing vista of buck island, on clear days, st thomas, and st john as well as Christiansted, st croix. Jin loves to make sushi and was generous and shared a meal of sushi for both of us. He even remembered our allergies. Jin offered to show us snorkeling sites, however this trip our schedule didn't have time planned for snorkeling, but we plan to catch up with Jin on our next trip to the island for snorkeling and my husband is looking forward to a visit to dive together. Memorable stay at Jin's house and recommend to others. Thank you for an amazing stay! Beverly & Rich

The east end of the island rolling hills and views of the water left us smiling so much. The quiet air. Jin knows much of the history and places available. They made us their wonderful sushi, which is well know in the area. So many good things to say. This VRBO is so worth the stay. Thank you so much Choi’s, our smile continues and our hearts are full.

My husband and & I stayed here for the second half of our visit to the USVI, wish we had stayed here the whole time!! Our ferry was late arriving & Jin was kind enough to meet us at Divi Casino so we wouldn't get lost in the dark! I can't say enough about the exceptional hospitality of Jin & Sung Lee. They made us feel like family. Their property is beautiful with spectacular views & natural breezes. No air conditioning necessary, no matter the time of day. The property has everything you need for meal prep. The coolers were a nice bonus for beach hopping. Jin was spot on with snorkeling & restaurant recommendations. His sushi was awesome too!

Large beautiful apartment on top of the hill
My husband and I stayed in Jin's place for a week. It was a very pleasant experience. Jin is very warm and took us to snorkeling the following day at Cane Bay beach. Jin and his wife are very attentive to our needs. Jin is known as "Sushi Chef" on the island and we loved the sushi treat they gave us when we arrived. The apartment is very spacious with four large windows of beautiful sea view. We have so much space to move around and the kitchen has everything you need. If you rent a car, make sure you'll pin Jin's address on your JPS. We got lost when we drove back from dinner the first night our cells signal dropped on the way up to the hill and the JPS rerouted to the wrong direction. Luckily we were very close to his place and got back fine with the help of his friendly neighbors. People are very nice here and you will have a wonderful time in Jin's place the island. Don't forget to go to the crab race on the board walk: Tito and Sue Crab Race. It was so much fun. Oh, we won the first prize - Buck Island Tour!

The views were stunning–during sunrise, sunset and inbetween! My family and I enjoyed many breakfast meals on the West deck watching the sunrise and evening meals/drinks on the vast North and East deck. The hosts were wonderful, excellent communication–check in and out were very easy. He showed us some of his favorite spots on the East side of the island, suggested some wonderful places to go elsewhere. And even made our family a spread of sushi one evening! This was our first visit to the island and our host contributed highly to the success and great memories. We will defiantly be back-thank you Jin!
