Thank you, thank you, thank you, Vicky and Teddy, for your hospitality and being such caring and responsive owners. We had a fantastic and relaxing vacation in St. Croix and cannot wait to be back! The Endless Summer is a true gem - from the patio with the sea views with Buck island, to the large pool and nice loungers, to the fully stocked large kitchen and two super comfortable and private master bedrooms (there is also a third guest bedroom), the villa is so beautifully and comfortably appointed. Everywhere you look you can see how much heart, thought, effort, and investment the owners have put in making the Endless Summer such a welcoming and luxurious place to stay.
The Villa is very conveniently located on the East side of the Island, just minutes walk (and literally a minute drive 🙂) to Duggan’s Reef restaurant and Teagues Bay beach. The Island is less touristy than some of other Caribbean islands and offers more of a low key vibe (which is exactly why we chose STX!). There are so many things to do on the Island. We visited for 11 days at the end of December - beginning of January, which one of the busiest times but never felt the Island was overcrowded. We rented a Jeep (a car is a must) for our trip to explore the Island and drove to different beaches almost every day (roads are winding but generally in ok shape for larger roads; small roads can get rough quickly). We’d recommend Shoys beach, Buccaneer resort beaches, Sandy Point park (weekends only and no shade but oh my what blue water!), and Cane beach (there are a couple nice bars across the street from the beach), among others. A visit to the Buck Island to snorkel and its Turtle Beach was one of the highlights of our trip! Make sure to visit Point Udall (you can hike to beaches there), the Botanical Gardens, the Domino Club (to see the NA beer drinking pigs and the food is good - if you want local cuisine, go on Fridays as they offer Rotis). The Island also has so many excellent places to eat - for casual (but outrageously yummy) fare visit Ziggy’s on East End (dinner on M-W-F and brunch on Sundays; other days they offer lunch) and Kim’s in Christiansted (be prepared to wait at Kim’s, but it’s worth it). We enjoyed dinners at Duggan’s, Savant, Stone’s Throw and lighter fares at various bars on Christiansted boardwalk.
To sum up, if you’re looking for a beautiful place to truly relax and recharge, STX and the Endless Summer are for you!
