  • We enjoyed a wonderful week at Villa Chatiere in early April with out Detroit cousins. The upstairs downstairs layout offers total privacy for two couples plus many common areas for mutual enjoyment. The large upstairs livingroom/kitchen is a natural gathering place. And it's a tossup between the long upstairs gallery with spectacular sunset views over the mouth of Salt River and the poolside surrounded by lush tropical plantings — each is equally inviting. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are inspired, colourful and comfortable. Everything you can possibly need is there, including mountains of beach towels and friendly cats. Supplies are a 5- to 10-minute drive away — most everything else not much more than 20 or 30 minutes. There are lots of fun shops in Christiansted. The north shore drives both east and west are well worthwhile. Take bathing suits — lots of beaches along the way. Buck Island might be a bit over-rated but Isaac Bay is stunning in its isolation and the off-beach snorkeling is excellent. Ask Barry and Whit for directions. It's a serious hike and not for the faint of heart. Barry and Whit are the perfect hosts, going beyond the call of duty by helping with car rental, meeting their guests at the airport and guiding them through left-hand traffic across the island to Estate Judith's Fancy. Thank you for making your bit of paradise even more beautiful and for sharing it with us.

  • If you're looking for a comfortable, nicely decorated, private cottage with a pool, great views AND wonderful kitties, this is the place for you. Everything is well-kept and the landscaping is lovely. Owners Barry and Whit live right next door, but you'd never know it. They gave us complete privacy, though they were always happy to chat when we met up with them in the driveway coming or going. The location is convenient to Christiansted and Salt River (the little restaurant at the Salt River marina turned out to be our favorite during our stay). You won't be disappointed if you stay here. In fact, you'll be dreaming about your next visit on your way home.

  • My mother, siblings and I just celebrated our mother's 80th birthday at La Chatiere and we couldn't have chosen a better place. One of the reasons we chose it was because of the glowing comments that we read here on VRBO. When we arrived, we realized that the comments and reviews were true! It really is a lovely place, incredible views, safe, and private, beautiful garden by the pool and is a nicely decorated villa. Barry and Whit are very helpful, and they go out of their way to make sure everything is just right. My sister said that they really are in the right business because they're so good at what they do. Also, you really can travel here with just a backpack. The villa is well-stocked. We had a great time and enjoyed Isis, the little black kitty who lives there.

  • My 91 year old mom, my daughter, her friend and I just returned from a week at the Villa. Our trip was fantastic! Everything you could possibly need and want is here. It is clean, well stocked, wonderfully decorated and located in a safe, gated community. We loved having a private pool and being able to swim at all hours. Pictures cannot capture the beauty of the views from the pool and the gallery. Barry and Whit will go above and beyond to make sure you have a great vacation but at the same time give you total privacy. They met us at the airport and unfortunately, only one of the suitcases made it. The other 3 were lost but arrived the next day and we were all set to go back to the airport. Barry stopped by and told us to have a drink, relax and enjoy our vacation; they were going to the airport to retrieve our luggage! When it was time to leave they told us not to worry about getting all of the luggage and wheelchair in one car because they would go to the airport with us. So not only was this place the best ever, the owners made sure you enjoyed your stay to the fullest. We will definitely return.

  • We searched for months to find the best place to stay while on our honeymoon. We could have not picked a better place. Our own family has never been as hospitable and thoughtful as Barry, Whit, and the kitty cats. We felt right at home! We arrived at night to only be greeted at our gate by Barry and Whit ready to escort us to our villa. We would have NEVER found our way without them and it was very helpful for them to demonstrate how to drive on the left hand side of the road. It is very clean, well stocked (we were shocked every corner we turned we found EVERYTHING we ever needed) and the views are tremendous. After showing all of our friends the pictures, they are dying to go! I do not think any pictures truly can capture how great this place is. Quiet too, all you hear is the waves of the ocean. You can see Buck Island on one side of the villa and St. Thomas & St. John from the other end. We were AMAZED at the gem we had found. The island felt safe, but staying in a gated community made us feel even more at ease. We made so many friends on the island and we have actually had a couple call us at home to make sure we made it!!! I could write a 10-page letter on how great our stay was at the villa and St. Croix was. Trust me do not over pack! We brought one carry on each and still only used 1/2 of what we brought!! We will return as soon as we can to stay at this villa.

  • Hi, We are John and Debbie from Rhode Island.I wanted to find a nice relaxing place, laid back, relaxing and a nice place to propose to my girl. Well, we found the most beuatiful place, La Chatire on St Croix. We contacted the Owners Barry and Whit, they describe the Villa and all the amenities that would be provided. It was as they told us and even more. We were extremly pleased with the entire accomadations as well as our host Barry, Whit and Isis who ownes the Villa. We got engaged on the deck of the Villa on our 4th day. With Isis looking on and gave approval over looking the gorgous sunrise. We had Barry and Whit over for supper and we all had a very nice evening to celebrate the engagement.now I will let the future other half add her comments as well. Debbie Say's: It is the perfect place and we can not wait to go back. We were not disappointed. Call to dicuess or e-mail us for more info, it would be our pleasure. John & Debbie

  • We completed our 2nd family vacation at Villa La Chatiere in Feb 2008 and once again everything exceeded our expectations. This is not like going to a hotel or a "sterile" rental property - you truly get the experience of living in a home with wonderful appointments and multi-million dollar views and atmosphere. The private pool and veranda have breathtaking views of the Salt Pond - one of the Columbus landing points in the new world. Barry and Whit provide the personal touch to make your vacation memorable without ever being intrusive. Estate Judith's Fancy is a wonderful community giving you a true feeling of safety yet close enough to everything that you get to fully experience St. Croix. Trust me - this will be the experience and bargain of a lifetime for a vacation. We plan to return many, many more times over the coming years.

  • We arrived at the airport with a friendly greating from the owners Barry & Whit, they lead us to their beautiful gated community called the Estate Judith's Fancy. Barry indicated that they are always available if required to ask any questions about the Island or Villa. The Villa wowed!! us when we 1st walked in. It was nicely decorated, clean and had the feeling of safety immediately. We could not believe the Ocean views which were seen from every window. The lanai is a whole other living area, which wraps around so you can enjoy the sea views. We spent our early morning going for walks around the entire neighbourhood which is safe and beautiful. When we left the Villa there was know need to lock the doors, imagine that! The Villa had everything you would need for your vacation. The pool area is a very lush and private,take a morning swim or spend the day enjoying the sunshine on the west side. You can watch and listen to all kind of birds beacuse the area is so quiet and peaceful. We also enjoyed visiting St Croix, people are friendly and it is easy to get around the Island. We will definately return.

  • What a wonderful vacation we had! We chose St Croix to avoid the hustle and tourist ship crowds of St Thomas. The island is beautiful and the people friendly. We looked into many different villas and were pleased that the website for this property was accurate and the booking process prompt and professional. The villa exceeded our expectations and is beautifully appointed with what I suspect is the best view on the island. The pool is beautiful and the hosts thought of everything down to snorkle gear and pool toys. We were not lacking in any comfort and there is full privacy. We were provided with maps and brochures prior to arrival which made it easier to plan our vacation days. Our deposit was promptly refunded as well. What a wonderful experience!

  • So glad we found La Chatiere. Centrally located in Judith's Fancy, just west of Christiansted, it is a great location from which to explore the island. The villa has all the comforts of home. Tastefully decorated, it has a fully equipped kitchen, washer, dryer, cable, wireless internet, and more. The owners met us at the airport, and led us back to the villa. Along with that, they sent us a package of materials,(maps, restaurants, island activities) prior to ur visit. They are very helpful, and went out of there way to assure that we had a pleasant visit. The deck of the villa had wonderful water views, and the pool had all the privacy two people could ever ask for. Wether it's for two, or the whole family, this is a great place to stay. We're already planning another trip to St Croix, and we know where we are going to stay. La Chatiere.
