  Great spot. The ocean breezes blew every night and we slept with the doors wide open ... very safe neighborhood. Chad and Emily are great hosts with enough face time to give you tips for your vacation, but not 'in your face' either. Just enough. The condo amenities are great. New appliances and stone counter tops. Very pretty spot.

  This was our first time using HomeAway, what a wonderful experience. We choose St. Croix and this cottage based off many of the reviews we read - all are accurate and couldn't be more true. Chad and Emily our hosts were truly gracious and have thought of every little thing you could want or need. The cottage is perfectly appointed, towels, linens, hair dryer, blender, washer & dryer - truly a lovely guest house. This felt like visiting close friends - not like renting a house. The views are spectacular, you can see the ocean and hear the waves from the front porch, and the short walk down to the beach puts you right in the heart of the Caribbean. The beach was peaceful and secluded, we saw only a few neighbors during the entire week. On the days we did venture from the cottage, Chad and Emily made it so easy to enjoy ourselves. A cooler, beach towels, snorkeling gear, chairs, an umbrella - everything you need to venture out into the island to find your own little paradise. Judith's Fancy is a lovely gated community, we felt completely safe and never worried once about the area or neighbors. St. Croix is a beautiful island, there were so many wonderful places to explore and enjoy - Chad and Emily were always gracious and made the best recommendations for restaurants, beaches and places to visit. I would highly recommend - you will not be disappointed!

  My friend and I were looking to stay on St. Croix in a condo and found this amazing cottage instead and we couldn't have been happier. It was so nice to have our own little home to come home to after a day at the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the porch and seeing the ocean every day. What a gorgeous view! The cottage was beautifully appointed (it is exactly as it looks in the photos) and they provided everything you would need. Judith's Fancy is a gated community and it is well-maintained and we felt very safe. Chad and Emily were great to rent from. They were so helpful when it came to recommendations for the best food, beaches, drinks, and activities. And, they were so warm and friendly, and easily accessible if you needed them. They really want to ensure you are having a wonderful stay at their cottage - and we absolutely did!

  Recommended for: Girls getaway.

  Owner response: We are very happy you chose to stay with us and are glad you enjoyed the porch, we think it is an awesome place to start and end a great St. Croix day. Keep us posted on your future exotic travels.

  We like the islands, but not big resorts. Most summers, we charter a sailboat so we can explore on our own and relax on the boat. This year, we wanted something different and were lucky to find Chad and Emily's guest house. This gem lives up to its great reviews and is as beautiful as the photos suggest. Its uncomplicated elegance is unforgettable, and it's the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring St. Croix. Chad and Emily are great hosts, sharing their knowledge of the island's best restaurants, sights and activities. 5+ stars!

  Owner response: Thanks for the review Joy. It was great meeting the both of you. If you ever end up sailing this way give us a shout.

  My husband and I were looking for a quiet place to stay in St. Croix and we were so happy that we found the Ocean Vista Cottage. The gated community, Judith's Fancy, is a wonderful place to stay. It provided miles and miles of hiking and photo opportunities. The cottage was absolutely stunning and looked exactly like it did in the pictures. It was spotless, and provided every luxurious amenity one could want in a vacation home. The maps and brochures, homemade cookies and bottle of rum were a wonderful welcoming touch. Chad and Emily had great recommendations for places to eat and sites to see. We picked up a few groceries at the Food Town grocery store down the road. However, we did eat out a lot and our favorite restaurants were Salud, Eat At Cane Bay, and Angry Nates. We rented a car and visited Point Udall and Fort Christiansvaern. We spent two days at Cane Bay which is a wonderful beach. We also spent our Sunday at Sandy Point Wildlife Refuge. Sandy Point is the most amazing, pristine beach we have ever seen. The best part about this cottage was the relaxation it provided. We woke up every morning and had coffee on the deck. We ended every day by reading and listening to the waves outside the cottage. We even caught a sunrise outside the cottage on our last day which was a truly spectacular sight. Chad and Emily were excellent hosts. They were easy to contact with any questions or concerns. My husband and I are not used to the strong sun and we received bad sunburns while there. Emily gave us bottles of Aloe to help with our burns which was so thoughtful . We recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful, quiet, luxurious, and safe vacation home on St. Croix. It provides so much more than you could ever get in a hotel or resort stay. We could not have been happier with our entire stay. We are so lucky to have met Chad and Emily (and their dogs) and feel like we made friends on the island. We look forward to our next vacation in this perfect cottage.

  Owner response: Thank you for the review Laura Beth. We are so happy you guys enjoyed your stay. We look forward to seeing you in the future.

  This is the perfect vacation spot. The cottage shares the property with the owner’s home, but is offset to ensure privacy for both owner and guest. Chad and Emily are perfect hosts – they took great care to ensure that their ocean cottage is not only beautiful, but also well appointed (from towel hooks in the bathroom to adequate reading lights throughout) in anticipation of guest’s wants and needs. The kitchen is well equipped if you prefer to eat in or re-heat restaurant leftovers. The cottage is very attractive and tastefully decorated, and the king size bed is new and extremely comfortable. The gated community is quiet and is really quite centrally located. The Island is small and we found that from the cottage, we really could get to Christiansted for dinner in 10 minutes, decent snorkeling in15 minutes, and golf in 20. Perfect for the both of us. Their cottage truly offers the perfect setting for complete relaxation, with a combination of sun, surf and ocean breezes – I could have spent the entire week sitting on the covered patio dividing my time between staring and reading.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, sightseeing, romantic getaway.

  Owner response: Thanks for the great review. We hope to see you two again. Thank you again for rescuing that puppy.

  After a long day of traveling and arriving to the island around nine pm, it was nice to have easy to follow directions from the airport to the cottage provided by Chad and Emily. We were impressed by our first tour of the cottage upon arrival. The photos in the advertisement represented the space accurately. With a king size bed, a fully stocked kitchen and walk in shower we knew we would be more than comfortable for our stay. We could not wait unitl morning to take in the views from the deck. Our first night we enjoyed eats at Salud (recommended by Chad and Emily since it was late, as the resturante was close) and enjoyed a well prepared, savory meal. We tried many of the resturants Chad and Emily suggested for dinners and were never disappointed. We highly recommend Savant just past downtown Chiristiansted (we advise making a reservation). A rental car gave us the opportunity to explore the island on our own time, but a jeep (or any 4x4) would have allowed us to explore the more secluded areas. The drives through the rainforest and along the ocean shore were sights we will never forget. If you are looking for a secure, private, clean and relaxing spot, Ocean Vista cottage provides just that. We fully enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to our friends or family who are looking for a vacation idea. We will always remember the island and cottage as the place we got engaged. We could have not picked a better place for such an event.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, sightseeing, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

  Owner response: Thanks for the review and congratulations again on your engagement. Are you thinking of a St. Croix wedding? :) We hope to see you two again.

  We chose St. Croix for our 10 year anniversary and we could have not been happier. First, let me speak about St. Croix. The island is like a hidden treasure, not as known as its neighbors St Thomas and the BVI which turns out to be great if you are looking for a quiet, relaxed vacation in paradise. St Croix has the same beautiful white sandy beaches, clear blue seas and stunning lush green cliffs that seem to be plunging into the ocean as its neighbors but minus all the turistic crowds. This is a great place to scuba dive, snorkel or just lay back on a beach chair. Everywhere we went we felt welcome by the locals. We were able to see everything the island has to offer without crowds and noise. What else can you ask for? For such a small island, it has a good number of great restaurants to enjoy. From a casual yet gourmet lunch at Eat on Cane Bay to great romantic dinners at The Galleon. The wine selection everywhere was pretty good too. I truly wish you give it a try. Learn more about this beautiful island and get there. You will not regret it. There aren't many places left in the world where you can truly feel part of the culture and learn from within. We made it for the Cruzian Rican carnival. What an experience! After watching the parade by a local bar and watching the endless number of crews and music trucks, we danced behind the parade and enjoyed traditional dishes and music at the fair. We recommend to rent a car. It is the best way to see the entire island. Our Ocean Vista cottage was a perfect fit. Secluded and private, comfortable and modern, inside a gated community on the north shore of the island. But the best part were our hosts who made our holiday a true success. They are extremely helpful and knowledgable about everything to do with the island. Their recommendations for meals, sights and best beaches were excellent and they made our stay perfect. If you are looking for a cottage by the ocean with the comforts of home, quiet, private, comfortable and secure, we recommend the Ocean Vista cottage.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, girls getaway, sightseeing, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

  Owner response: St. Croix isn't going to remain a hidden treasure very long with reviews like this. :) We agree that Eat @ Cane Bay is excellent, one of our favorites. It is very good advice to recommend renting a car, no matter where you stay on St. Croix. Thanks so much for the review and we are so happy that you enjoyed your stay and that we got to meet both of you.

  Chad and Emily are the most hospitable host and hostess you could possibly ask for. They have thought of everything you can possibly need - from beach chairs and towels to a cooler and snorkels, no detail has been left unturned. The honeymoon cottage is perfect for a relaxing getaway in the sun. The finishes of the property are superb, even for the most discerning travelers. It's spotless, comfortable and well appointed. We can't wait to return to this little slice of heaven and are so grateful to have been guests :)

  Owner response: Thanks so much for the review and we are very happy you found us. We hope to see you again soon. We even added a toothbrush holder per your recommendation. :)

  Having grown up in in St. Croix I make it a point to return every year or so to visit with family and friends. Over the years I’ve stayed at just about every resort on the island as well as a number of private homes - this is my new favorite. There’s simply no better combination of amenities, location, price, and hospitality on the island. The cottage, while quite near the main house, feels secluded and offers thoughtful design and top quality finishes throughout. The owners were terrific and could not have been more hospitable or responsive to our questions or minor issues. Little details, like homemade cookies, a complete set of kitchen supplies, fast internet, and laundry facilities, made for a lovely stay in what feels like your own home on the beach. As other reviewers have mentioned, the location is terrific – the cottage is situated in the center of the island near the main town, in a lovely gated community. (Note: As with any property in St, Croix you will need to rent a car or jeep to explore and get the most out of the island) We started each morning with a fruit smoothie and ended each day with a blended rum drink. In between, we explored the island's many beaches well armed with the provided beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, beach towels, and cooler. (A nice touch) Again, this is my new favorite spot on the island and I look forward to my next visit.

  Owner response: Wow, you do a better job of selling our cottage than we do. :) It is great for others to get a review from such an experienced St. Croix (and world) traveler. We are so happy that you enjoyed it here and we are sure we will see you soon.
