  Our family spent 8 days at Villa La Chatiere. Everything was wonderful! The villa was very clean and it looked just as the photos showed it. The owners were fantastic and very helpful - they were people you would want to have for neighbors! The location couldn't have been better. If you like to walk Judith's Fancy is perfect. Our 9 year old grandsons were very sad when we left!

  Yet another great stay at our favorite villa and favorite owners! This year we were just lazy! Last two years we explored, but this year we spent most of our time in the pool. It was great to get out of the snow and come to wonderful warmth! If you are thinking about taking a trip to St. Croix and want to stay at a beautiful and private villa this is it. And the best prices. I know it took me 2 months to stumble across La Chatiere! I haven't bothered to look for any others places to stay. Don't need too! This is the best! Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. Stealth (private joke)Barry says we're too quiet when we leave. He thinks we sneak out on them. Not true it just works out that we leave at odd hours. Like 4 a.m.! Thanks Barry and Whit see you next year.

  is Barry abd Whit's LA Chatiere on St Croix..privacy, comfort, spectacular views and the most accomodating owners you will ever find in a vacation rental anywhere..Believe it or not the pictures don't do it justice..a gated community, a private drive, and voila, your own home perched atop a hill with water views all around, constant trade wind breezes and the feeling you're actually at your own vacation paradise, which in fact you are, at least until you need to sadly depart and leave it to the next renters....ten minutes from town, fifteen from beaches and great restuarants or the airport, get a car, drive on the left (Crucians always let you turn in front of them and the roads aren't wide enough to speed anyway)and pull up to Barry and Whit's gorgeous and you may never want to leave, surrounde dby song birds,cute kitties, and your hosts across the drive who never make themselves visible except when you need them to...We've rented lots of homes over the years--this is undoubtedly the most comfortable, best decorated, well equipped (kitchen is loaded with extras and necessities), most private yet centralized property with the most spectacular views that we have been lucky enough to find..we already know next winter it has to be at least twice as long for us! St Croix is filled with warm hearted people, great seafood, gorgeous beaches and polite drivers....slow down, get on island time (don't hurry) and take your rum punch to the porch to watch the saiboats go by or the kayaks stir up the glowing organisms in the bioluminescent lagoon right below your private cottage.... and you will be wondering what took YOU so long to find this little piece of heaven on earth too.....

  This was our second stay at La Chatiere the first was way to short! We stayed 2 wks and as the first time it was so wonderful! I think it was even better because we already knew were everything was. Also Barry & Whit are the greatest hosts! Barry even put up with one of my grumpy days I had at one point in our stay. lol If you're looking for the perfect and I mean perfect place to take a vacation La Chatiere is it. Thanks so very much, Sheila and Shawn Toledo, Ohio

  Julie And I Went To St. Croix On Vacation With Our Mom And Dad And Auntie And Uncle. The Week We Were There We Had A Full Moon On Wednesday Night And Will Have Another Full Moon Of August 31. This Is Called A Blue Moon Month And Only Happens Every Three Years Or So! The Beaches Are Amazing Here Theyre So Warm And Refreshing. I Watched My Dad And Uncle Crack Open Coconuts for Us Girls And It Was So Funny. We Went For A Walk Around Judiths Fancy And Went To A Private beach On The Property, So Many Beuatiful Shells To Look At And Touch. Our Personal Tour Guide On The Property Was So Cute And Her Name Is Isis. I Like The Fact That We Had The Pool To Ourselves And We Didn't Have To Share It With Any Other People. We Went To The Buccaneer, The Rainforest, And The Crab-Races. Thanks Barry And Witt For Sharing Your Home With All Of Us We Had A Really Great Time.

My sister and brother-in-law said "we must go all together",they have been before and they are wonderful for sharing this with us!!!! I and my husband are very careful about were we go for vacation because it is all about our daughters' and this was a family trip with many memories!!! I was speechless for about an hour at the house,looking around all the rooms,looking at the awesome ocean views' and being in the pool was priceless!!! It was more than I could ever dreamed of and our daughters' never said" are we there yet or I'm bored"...which told me that they were in heaven!!! Plenty of room for all 6 of us and everything we needed at arms reach. It is a very safe place to be on vacation,also very clean and the decor is to die for.Our daughters' room was so well decorated and put together with style,that they were unpacked and in the pool with in 10 min...lol...so much to see and do on the Island or at the house that you can't go wrong!!! Every day was so joyful,relaxing and peaceful,truly from the bottom of my heart!!!!

  Our stay here was breathtaking and one of our best trips! The house was in a prime location with amazing views of the sea. The cottage had everything we needed as in dishes, spices, ext. The owners are so responsive and willing to help in any way possible. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to have a wonderful vacation and to make memories to last a lifetime. I hope this helps to make your decision easier and once you stay here, you will agree completely.

  Eigth trip to St. Croix in the last 10 years and seventh visit to La Chatiere. Better than any photo the villa is ideal for us with its pool, gated community and central location. We like scuba diving, eating out, and music and the opportunities to do all of these activities are present when based from La Chatiere. We recommend SCUBA St. Croix for diving with special focus on diving the Walls at Cane Bay as well as the wrecks and pier at the west end of the the island. Favorite restaurants include Blue Water Terrace, Tutto Bene, The Galleon, and the Terrace at the Bucaneer. One of the finest guitar players that I have ever heard, Steve Katz, plays at many of these restaurants. Plays blues to classics. Lastly, you can count on Barry and Whit as excellent hosts and rely on the consistent excellence that is La Chatiere

  My husband and I have had the opportunity to visit a number of islands and we both agree our trip to St. Croix is our favorite. While St. Croix is a beautiful island, what made our stay so enjoyable was the La Chatiere property and Barry & Whit's hospitality. The property is absolutely gorgeous, comfortable and private. The villa is spotless, spacious and beautifully decorated. And the view, there are really no words to describe it - you must see it for yourself. We loved to sit out on the gallery and look out over the ocean - when we weren't swimming in the villa's private inground pool that is. We spent a lot of time enjoying the villa and the pool. It was hard not to as it was so relaxing. Barry and Whit have considered every detail in ensuring their guests' comfort. They even met us at the airport and waited until we got our rental car so we could follow them back to the villa. They provided information on restaurants, beaches, shopping, you name it - complete with directions - and were available for any questions we had. While we did not do much in the way of excursions on this trip, we did go to the Buccaneer Hotel twice for lunch at the Mermaid and then spent the afternoon on the beach just steps away from the restaurant which we really enjoyed. Judith's Fancy (where La Chatiere is located) is a gated community and a particularly nice area of the island. We enjoyed taking morning walks, looking at all of the houses and incredible views. The area is large enough and there are enough side streets and paths that we were able to take a different walk every day. We simply cannot wait to return to St. Croix and La Chatiere.

  We cannot add too much more to the many positive comments here in the reviews which attracted us to this property in the first place. Barry and Whit are very special hosts who have planned Villa La Chatiere with comfort and relaxation in mind. They are 100% professional and exhibit a rare combination of thoughtfulness and scrupulous respect for their guest's privacy. Every step of the booking process has been thought through and all correspondence was prompt and helpful. On our last day we found that our Jeep had a flat tire - just as we were about to depart for the airport. They immediately were on the phone to the rental company and then checked us in online. The tire was replaced and we got to the airport on time. A crisis was averted with kindness, calm and a large healthy dose of humor. Several miles on the way to the airport they intercepted us to hand over the hat I had inadvertently forgotten at the villa - now that is really going the extra mile in every sense! And the villa - what can we say? We have rented from VRBO regularly since 2006 and this was the best of some wonderful and memorable properties. It is better than the photographs and we still miss it.
