My family (4 of us) stayed at this property in June, 2011. We LOVED it! The house is beautiful and well-equipped. We got a little hot without air conditioning, but we survived (we were also there during storms and during the hot season). The views are absolutely stunning. The owners of the home are gracious and work with you to give you a wonderful vacation experience. The new pier was almost finished, and will definately be another great asset for this property. We can't wait to go back!

We rented for the second year in a row - we didn't even consider another location as we were so pleased with this home last year. Location is great - right across from Buck Island and a nice snorkeling reef about a quarter mile to the west. The house is perfectly suited for three couples, even down to the number of chaise lounges on the veranda. We were about 10 miles east of Christiansted, but only went into town once. Grocery and restaurants are nearby, and the kitchen has everything necessary to cook in. No negatives, only positives!
Owner response:Thank you for choosing to stay at our St. Croix home again this year. We look forward to having you and we are very happy that you and your friends have a good time each year.

Our family stayed at this beautiful beach house in May 2009. This amazing home was wonderful--better than we could have imagined. The views were spectacular and the house was centrally located to activities and restaurants. Everyone we had contact with to make this vacation possible was very friendly and helpful. Cecilia, Maureen, and Gale made us feel VERY welcome. The house was very comfortable for all six of us to enjoy. I would HIGHLY recommend your home to anyone wanting a great vacation. Thanks for sharing it with us!!!

What a wonderful house - absolutely spectacular views! There is so much to do that repeat visits are definitely necessary. Scuba diving and horse back riding are just two of our many favorite activities. A definite two thumbs up!

My family and I stayed here and we were so impressed and would love to return. It's a great set up for families or couples. We have two small boys, ages 3 and 5, and they loved it! They went to the beach and looked for shells everyday, picked limes of the trees, and loved playing in the pool. The view is amazing! It was very peaceful and relaxing and just minutes from Christianstead. We highly recommend the sunset sail offered at Big Beard's. It was a great way to end a wonderful week at Isla Vista!! Thanks so much for renting us your wonderful home!!

We have traveled all over the world at 5 star hotels and villas. Isla Vista ranks at the top.The word "BEACH HOUSE" does not do justice to the beauty of this home,its ammenities,secluded location,magnificent views and ideal proximity to everything on the island.If you are newly-weds;have children or just want to get away; you will be in awe of the beautiful views of the ocean and Buck Island that are footsteps from you own private pool;the tradewinds that are gentle and cool;the selection of music, books, games,water toys,your own kayak, the list goes on and on.If you want your own "PRIVATE PARADISE" Isla Vista is IT!!! Thank-you Cecillia and John for sharing your beautiful home with us.

We had a wonderful 10 days at Isla Vista. We brought our kayaks and were able to snorkle and Kayak from the house. What a treat that was. The house lends itself to both being very active as well as just kicking back with cocktails in the pool or darts on the lanai. It was truly one of our best rentals in 15yrs of caribbean villa renting.

What a wonderful house! Kelly and I spent 2 luxurious weeks in St. Croix. Being at the house was like being in a tropical paradise. Every morning we sat on the patio soaked in the sun and kissed the sweet ocean breeze. SCUBA diving is some of the best I've done. I dove The Great Barrier Reef and Cozumel, Mexico.... St. Croix ranks right up there. Kelly and I kyaked and snorkeled half-way to Buck Island one day. BBQ by the pool and tanning in the sun almost daily. At night, Restaurant Bacchus, RumRunners and the Brew-Pub are a must! St. Croix is a must see for anyone looking to relax and throw worries to the wind. A++++ A definite "must go" destination!

This is THE perfect beach house. We enjoyed a great week with our teens. The home and island offer something for everyone. My favorite memory - the great breezes coming through the bedroom doors at night with the soothing sound of the waves. We explored the island - very easy to drive around - lots of history - took great photos of the old sugar mills, shopped in Christiansted, snorkeled at several locations, took a boat/scuba trip to Buck Island. Enjoyed this way more than a big resort. The outdoor living area -- pool - patio & outdoor kitchen was where we truly lived. Loved pulling over to the side of the road to purchase fresh fish to grill. Truly, the most relaxing vacation we've had. Can't wait to return.

I had the great fortune to vacation at this "5-star" home on St. Croix. The island boasts world class scuba, snorkeling, kayaking, a National Oceanic Park on nearby Buck Island, wonderful restaurants and a fascinating colonial and European history to explore just a quick drive to the town of Christiansted. One of the best activities, however, was just hanging out at the house. It has 180 degree picture window view of the sea, with Buck Is. barely a kayak journey to the right. The lawn slopes to the beach with scattered palms and bougainvillas. The house is hidden from the road, for added solitude. Sitting at the pool looking out to sea and watching the occasional sailboat or windsurfer was pure relaxation!! Better than a 5 class resort, with all the amenities of home!!
