Oceanfront Condo - Four Steps to Beautiful Sugar Beach

Absolutely loved staying here!! My parents are 76 and 80 years old and being 4 steps to the beach was awesome!! Condo has everything and more you would ever need! Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo with us!! Looking forward to our next trip back!!

We rented this unit specifically because of the beach front location, 3 bedrooms and kitchen. While I know it's not the owners fault, the sargassum seaweed had taken over this area and ruined the beach front experience for us. The smell alone knocks you over so I would keep that in mind if booking later in the summer. The air conditioner was off when we arrived and the temp in the unit was 85 degrees. You can't open the windows to allow any breeze due to the stench of the seaweed and it took until the 3rd day for the unit to come down to a reasonable temperature, but even by then the back bedroom with the twin beds was still not cool because there are no vents in that room. There was one fan but it still was not enough to cool the room to a comfortable temperature.

One of the bathrooms has a glass block wall which is the divider between the bathroom and the back bedroom and the top section has blocks missing so the wall is open into that bedroom with just a plastic shade. If someone turns on that bathroom light at night it completely floods that room with light and the steam from the shower further contributes to the uncomfortable temperature in that room. That along with the shutter style doors on the bathrooms leads to no real privacy. You hear everything going on in the bathrooms.

The kitchen had basic cookware and dishes but the only coffee maker available was what I think was an espresso machine and a keurig. I would have expected a more eco-friendly coffee maker since the keurig pods are horrible for marine life but since we couldn't find any k-cup options at all at the 2 grocery stores we visited we had no coffee. There was also not a can opener, however after the first night because of the AC not being able to keep up we had to resort to just buying takeout or sandwiches because cooking heated up the unit too much. Being able to cook meals was the whole reason we didn't book at a hotel so this was extremely frustrating.

We inquired before we left if the unit had dish and laundry detergent and were told it did, but it didn't. When the cleaning staff came around to collect trash she did bring us back some dish detergent at least.

Had the AC not been an issue and the bathrooms been better enclosed I may have given this unit a better recommendation but I can't in good faith recommend this to anyone needing the back bedroom and not traveling with just family if you don't care about bathroom privacy.

You can't beat the location of this condo. The rooms and beds were very nice. It was equipped with nice higher end appliances than usual. The only downfall was the baby roaches in the kitchen. Just needs a little left control.

We had a wonderful week-long stay here! The condo is well-maintained and very clean, the bedrooms are huge, the kitchen is extremely well-supplied, and the house and its surroundings are tranquil; it was the perfect escape! We spent time quality time with the kids on Sugar Beach. Easy access for exploring other beaches, but Sugar was our fav. Pam and David were wonderful to work with, they were quick with communication and made sure we had everything we needed and more for our stay in their home.

Reviews matter a lot to me when I am deciding whether to book a rental property. If you are like me, then let me assure you that you will not be disappointed if you stay at Pam's Oceanfront condo in St. Croix! I traveled with four adults and two children who ranged from 7 years-13 years. All of us called this our best vacation yet! The property is clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Pam was very responsive...from the moment we inquired all the way through our stay.

There are many great things to say, but here are the things that stood out to us: The beach was splendid! The Sugar Beach resort takes very good care of the beach and they had workers cleaning off seaweed and debris every day. My crew spent most of our time on the beach, although pool was very nice too. We spent a lot of time snorkeling right off the beach. It was amazing! We also took a day trip out to Buck Island, which was the highlight of the vacation. We found the local people to be very friendly and we spent plenty of time enjoying the food and shopping that St. Croix has to offer. We're on to another adventure, but if we return to St. Croix in the future, we will surely reach out to Pam and stay at her place again!
