This trip was our first time to St. Croix. My husband & I usually put a lot of "stock" in reviews when purchasing anything online, so here is what we wish other reviewers would have told us about this property:
The house sits quite a ways up a very rocky road. It's really beyond a "dirt" road in our opinion, it's full of pot-holes and rough terrain - you WILL NEED a 4-wheel / AWD vehicle to get up to the property without blowing out a tire. Most of the roads in St. Croix are rough. I will say that by the end of the trip we were "used to" going up and down the road to the house, but that still didn't stop me from gripping my door handle every time! Ha!!
The house has a fairly nice layout: 2 master bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, on one "side" of the house, and 2 MUCH smaller bedrooms that share a bathroom on the other side of the house. The 2 smaller bedrooms are SMALL! We did not fully realize this just by looking at the pictures. One of the smaller bedrooms has a futon for a bed, which is very squeaky and sits pretty low to the ground. That "bed" can only hold 1 adult (barely) or 2 small children. The other small bedroom has a full size bed, but I doubt 2 adults could fit on it comfortably.
The two master bedrooms, along with their bathrooms, are a very nice size. It is important to note that the main master's bathroom does not have an indoor shower. We were a little surprised about this, thinking that the outdoor shower was just a nice bonus. The outdoor shower IS THE SHOWER for that bedroom. When we first realized that, we were a little disappointed, but by the end of our trip, we were LOVING the outdoor shower. It is quite the experience, and VERY PRIVATE. So don't let the thought of an outdoor shower scare you away - you'll enjoy it, I promise.
The swimming pool is a decent size, but we wish we would have know that there is NO SHALLOW END (except the stairs), so even my teenagers couldn't "play" in the pool, because they couldn't touch. This was really unfortunate, because that was one of the major reasons we booked this property. The pool is basically for doing laps or floating.
The property is secluded with beautiful landscaping all around it (along with a VERY noisy rooster). The view of the ocean from the property is gorgeous!
We would recommend bringing as much food as possible - The island is VERY EXPENSIVE!
We can't say enough good things about Chris, the property manager. He was very kind and helpful.
