About this property

Our Starfish Palace - Ground floor Sugar Beach condo- Where Wishes Do Come True

Have your wishes come true at Starfish Palace in St. Croix. Do you love beautiful beaches and stunning sunrises and sunsets? Sugar Beach is the place for you! Why just have a view of the sea when you can be directly ON the beach? We are ground floor-ON the beach!!! Just 3 steps off the gallery ( Caribbean name for the expansive 30 ft. by 10 ft. covered area to enjoy dining and lounging) and you are in the sand.

Start your day with a beautiful sunrise you can see from your comfortable king size bed (master bedroom) and your day in paradise only gets BETTER … Coffee on the gallery with the sun rising over Buck Island, palm trees swaying in the breeze.
PLEASE NOTE: The guest room is no longer a twin bed room to make into a king bed. We now have a King Bed in this room so it is more comfortable for the second room guests also. The guest room does have a sliding door to open and enjoy the breeze also.
The day is yours to enjoy the way you want - relaxing on the beach in a hammock or lounge chair. Take a swim or snorkel (we have masks and snorkels for our guests use). Our gorgeous pool is waiting for you to take a refreshing dip with beautiful setting of an original sugar mill. There is shade for that respite from the sun and lounge chairs a plenty.

Hungry? We have a full kitchen with all needed appliances and utensils. Don't feel like cooking? No Problem, there are two excellent restaurants, one on either side of us. Coral Sea, located to our west two doors down
is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and Breezez next door to the east, has been said to have the "best Happy Hour" on the island along with wonderful food. Missing fast food? McDonalds, KFC, Subway and Dominos are within walking distance along with a couple of grocery stores.

We have a 50” television with DVD player in the living room and a 28" TV with DVD player in the Guest bedroom aka "Starfish bedroom", new king size bed in master & guest bedroom, (extra sets of bed linens in master bath closet if you desire to change the bed), I pod player, CD player and radios are all here too, for your enjoyment. We also have free satellite TV (Dish) and free WiFi.

The Master bath has been completely updated. Large shower with dual shower heads, along with new vanity and great lighting. The guest bath has a tub with a shower, new mirrors and lighting, along with hair dryers. Plenty of plush towels and beach towels for our guests. There is a washer and dryer in unit for your convenience. We try to think of all the things we appreciate when we travel. Our aim is make this your BEST vacation!

With ceiling fans in every room and a constant sea breeze you probably won't want to use the central air when you can enjoy the sounds of the sea. You will LOVE being lulled to sleep at night by the sound of the sea waves lapping on the beach….

St. Croix has so much to offer. History with wonderful tours and museums, including the abundant sugar mills. Tropical Rain Forest, don't miss LEAP (a wood working shop that uses only fallen mahogany from the island for beautiful souvenirs) and the beer drinking pigs in the rainforest! There is the Cruzan Rum Factory tours, Tide Pools, Point Udall (the most eastern point of the United States), The Botanical Gardens, and Fort Christiansted. Great shopping in Christiansted and Fredericksted along with wonderful restaurants and art galleries. There are numerous beautiful beaches, spectacular scuba diving, wonderful snorkeling (the picture of my husband with conch shell and the large starfish was taken while snorkeling right here in front of our condo), horseback riding on the beach or in rain forest, and for something different there is Bioluminescent Tours at one of only 6 bays in the world!!! St. Croix is only USVI with a casino! Wanna go for a fun day of sailing and snorkeling? Buck Island sailing and snorkeling is a Must!

After a wonderful fun filled day relax in the gallery with a refreshing beverage. What will tomorrow bring???

We just rated this OK because the condo living areas need some updating and thorough cleaning. The bedrooms were nice, and the outside patio area was great. There were just 2 of us and I think if it would have been 2 couples, this might have been a much better value. It was convenient to walk out on the beach and we were only about 10 minutes from town. We enjoyed all of the conch shells.

Lovely stay in Christianstead!

We had a wonderful vacation in St. Croix! Our host Diana was so sweet and informative. The condo was perfect for us and had everything we needed for the week. The grounds of the complex are beautiful and well kept, and it was incredibly quiet during our stay! The views of the ocean from the gallery are fabulous and the pool area is perfect! My fiancé and I planned several excursions for the week (Buck Island is not to be missed!) and everything was within a 20 minute drive from the condo. Excellent place to stay!

If you are looking for quiet, beautiful sea and sky, and private beach...this is the place. Nice for 2 couples with their own private bedroom/bath! All kitchen amenities provided! We loved the view in the morning on the porch with coffee!! You do need a car to tour the island however. We had a wonderful stay!

We had a lovely time at Starfish Palace. We thoroughly enjoyed being right on the beach. The condo also has plenty of thoughtful items there for use that came in handy on our adventures like snorkel gear, a cooler for snacks, towels, etc. We added to the supplies leaving pool noodles :) Thank you for renting out your beautiful condo to us!

Outstanding location

We were so pleased to be able to stay so close to the sea! The beach was cleared of seaweed every morning, it was easy to walk into the water -both for children and the elderly (us) and we were even able to do a bit of snorkeling there. It was disappointing that the restaurants on either side of the property had closed, but perhaps they will start up, and we found that we preferred buying food to eat on our patio, because it was nicer than the restaurants we found. Condo is lovely and comfortable, with details and amenities that gave it the comfort of a home, rather than the bareness one often finds at a rental property.

We had a fabulous time in STX and staying at Don and Diana’s condo! It is probably the most well stocked rental I’ve ever stayed in and we really appreciated all the gear available to use! The two bedrooms with king sized beds are perfect for two couples, and of course the amazing view of the ocean and your own beach right off the back patio is perfection!

About the host

Hosted by Don and Diana Henderson

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We have traveled to almost every island in the Caribbean, and liked some things on each island, but on St. Croix we found more of what we were looking for. St. Croix has great snorkeling, scuba diving and beaches, is not overcrowded and more laid back. My wife had always dreamed of a condo on ground floor directly on the beach where she could go to sleep listening to the waves on the beach and wake up and step out of her condo and be on the beach. This vacation condo gave us all of this and more.

What makes this property unique

This condo has a great pool, large gallery to eat and relax in, and central air in case you need it. We love the open design of the condo, from our master bedroom we can open the double doors to the gallery and the double doors to the living room.
