We were in St Croix for a month so we had plenty of opportunity to get to know the Island. The condo was in a great location, had a wonderfull view of the Ocean, and a very nice pool area. The grill was nice to have and as a result we ate in quite a few times. Christtansted was only a few mile away and a neat little town with shops and restaurants. There where a number of nice restaurants near the condo where the food was great. Our favorites were The Buccaneer (had a wonderfull sun set), Duggan's Reef,The Galleon, and our favorite favorite The Blue Water terrace for breakfast , (great Sunday brunch) Lunch or dinner. I almost forgot , The Cultured Pelican right in the Coakley Bay complex.Very good. Buck Island is a must: a nice sail to a beatiful beach for snorkeling and lunch. Plus you can't leave before you drive to Sandy Point, a National Park thats only open on Saturday and Sunday between 10:00 and 4:00, with one of prettiest beaches you will ever see. All in all a great month of fun, dinning and relaxing.

The condo was in a great location w/wonderful views. There was an issue w/a broken water main, no water for 30 hrs. This could to happen to anyone. We were not informed by mgmt we had to go to them the next day. Also the condo above us had all new tile installed which meant removing old & moving everything out. This lasted for most of the week. Very noisy! again no fault of anyone. I would say the showers could use a update. Parking at a premium in front of the condos, additional parking nearby. I dont want to paint this as a bad experience, when renting a condo you can encounter repairs etc. Jeff & Kelli were very kind, helpful & accomadating to us, always w/ quick responses. The pool is lovely & the grounds are very nice. Very quiet complex & nice restaurant on the property.

Everything was wonderful. There are no adequate words to describe our experience. The condominium exceeded our expectations. Security was professional with a good attitude and very helpful. There is no doubt that we would return. The local islanders were so friendly. The beaches were excellent and the scenery was wonderful. Jeff, you were really very professional and helpful and we appreciate your kindness. We will tell others about the condo. Can't wait to return. Always felt secure. I have been all over the Caribbean, this vacation was the best. Thanks to your condo, the beauty of the island, and the warm and caring attitude of the locals. It was a dream come true. We saw 8 islands in 8 days. Thank you.

We so enjoyed the beautiful island of St. Croix! The colorful surroundings, views of the ocean, swimming and snorkeling were amazing. The accommodations at Paradise on the Reef were very comfortable for four. The pool was WONDERFUL! There is nothing quite like waking up to the view from the condo. Having a cup of coffee on the gallery was a wonderful way to start the day. We would certainly consider returning. We loved the many beaches and ocean views. Thank you for sharing this lovely location with us!

We like the condo, it was easy to find, great location, beautiful view, close to the pool. The building seems to be well maintained and landscaped. The pool was clean and kept up. We liked the location and the unit; we would come back. We enjoyed the most about the island: the beaches, the snorkeling, restaurants, many activities. Lots of privacy - not too crowded - no time share hassles. We chose your property because of the location, the view, and the car incentive. We were very pleased on ALL accounts.

We arrived home safely early Sunday morning after a glorious week on St. Croix and at "Paradise on the Reef". We found the accommodations very satisfactory and found almost everything we needed or would want there. Since we earn our living in the "agri-business" field, we were very pleased to find several news and business channels, as well as the "required" weather channel available on the television. Should we return to St. Croix we certainly would consider renting from you again and will share our experiences with friends/family that might be coming to the island. We did a variety of things while on the island - day trip to Buck Island, horseback riding, following the "Heritage Trail" in our vehicle - which was also satisfactory - going to Point Udall, and trips to Fredricksted and Christiansted to explore both towns extensively. My husband probably enjoyed the horseback riding the best, while I just loved being in a warm, sunny climate and taking in all the sites! It was 85 when we left St. Croix; 30 when we touched down in Raleigh, NC. Brrrrr! It is still cold here and the forecast doesn't show much improvement. Thank you for making us feel welcome.
