About this property
Dramatic Oceanfront House with Pool--Cane Bay Sanctuary
Wake up and fall asleep to the sound of the waves in this private, oceanfront home on the bluff over the Caribbean Sea. This is the perfect place to let it all go and relax completely. De-stress and connect with yourself and the sea like never before. Cane Bay Sanctuary fosters feelings of peace, tranquility and even bliss.
Meander in through the private gate, past the pool and into your beautiful two story, 2 bd, 2 bath private home. In-JOY outside dining on the deck above the waves, or sit at the beautiful kitchen table overlooking the sea. There is an amazing reef right in front of the house that is mesmerizing as the surge from the waves waterfalls down. It's very unique, rare and special for the island.
Both bedrooms are quite large and both are oceanfront with A/C. The living room/kitchen area also has A/C.
The upstairs, primary bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and 2 decks. One deck overlooks the sea with a spectacular view to Hams Bluff, while the other sits above the the fully fenced back yard, looking out towards the road and the lush, green hillside.
The downstairs bedroom is equally as large as the primary with spectacular ocean views and a sitting area on the deck outside the private entry door (off the main deck). The bathroom is a few feet down the hallway.
INTERNET & SMART TV You can stream Netflix or whatever you like with the high speed Internet on the smart TV, and there is also cable so you can watch local news and not miss your sporting events.
SUSTAINABILITY: The home is solar powered and collects and uses rain water. Eco-conscious hand soaps, dishwashing soap and laundry soap are provided for you. There is a whole house UV filtration system which provides clean and pure drinking and showering water. Feel free to use the 4, stainless steel bottles to take on your adventures around the island--no need to buy bottled water and waste the plastic
CANE BAY BEACH: Cane Bay is walking distance from the house (or a very short drive). Be sure to take the beach chairs, beach towels and coolers provided for you. Sweet Bottom Divers is in Cane Bay as well as "The Landing" and "Spratnets Beach Bar & Grill", or "Off the Wall" for some food and drinks after your water adventures. Sunday Funday is hopping at Cane Bay Beach with music and lot's of locals. Weekdays are chill with not too many people.
WATER ACTIVITIES: Divers and snorkelers--Cane Bay is one of the best spots on island with the famous "Wall" that drops down 2000 feet not too far off the shore. See turtles, rays, fish, coral and sometimes dolphins! Swimmers, this is your spot! Distance swimmers will love swimming in Cane Bay--make sure to ask me (the owner) about the regular swims M/W/F/Sa mornings.
GOLF: Hit up Carambola Golf Club, right down the road 10 minutes, with its course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr.
RESTAURANTS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE: There are several wonderful restaurants nearby, and 5 within walking distance (AMA, Off the Wall, The Landing, Spratnet's Beach Bar & Grill and Sunny Shore Up Food Truck).
SHY DOG ON-SITE: There is another smaller home on property where I, the owner, and my dog live. Zuri is my little sweet rescue that really needed a home. She's getting more and more confident with guests, and don't expect much dog time with her, as she's still very shy with others.
*Unfortunately, my two dogs that you read about in the earlier reviews, Whiskey and Cyrus, both passed away 5 weeks apart Aug and Oct 2023. They were loved by my previous guests and are dearly missed.
The property is one of the larger lots on the sea with half an acre and is completely fenced in with a cement wall with wood slats on top (very private). The pool is shared with me and "Zuri" who I'm teaching to swim. The pool is clean and you can hear the waves while in the pool. Sunbathing and cocktails poolside anytime are wonderful.
*Private chef available for some or all meals for an additional cost (subject to availability-reserve in advance-just ask me).
**Guests staying as Cane Bay Sanctuary should like dogs and be aware that the front gate always needs to remain closed. Thank you.
All guests must be 18 years or older.

Fantastic stay at a beautiful property. As described and better than than the pictures. We enjoyed the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. 10 minute walk from great beach and three restaurants, with chairs, towels, and umbrella to take with you. On the quiet side of the island so not for those looking at nightlife, but relaxing stat in a tranquil environment. Definitely need a rental car to get around the rest of the island, and well stocked grocery on way from airport. We will definitely stay again.
Jill was amazing. Her lovely home was well stocked for things I didn’t even realize we needed! She was so helpful with recommendations and being there when we needed her!

Thanks Elaine,
I loved having you 4 here--long term marriages and friendships are precious! Come back anytime.
Jill was an amazing host and the property is beautiful. We absolutely loved our stay and plan to return. I so miss having coffee in the morning watching the waves come in. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful and peaceful getaway.
Jill is phenomenal and a perfect Host! We love the location and home. Everything was perfect. We could have stayed another week just gazing out over the ocean being mesmerized by the waves. This was just what we needed to reset as we head back to a long winter back home.Thank you so much Jill we will cherish the memories we had at your home and... getting to know you. I truly feel like we were meant to meet and we look forward to the chance to meet up again
We couldn't of been happier this find this stay. We spent most of our time exploring the island but when we were not doing that we were enjoying the amazing views & pool. At night, we enjoyed stargazing on the upper deck and also caught some lightning storms. The location was perfect and away from crowds. There were great food, drink and beach areas within walking distance. Would definitely recommend this stay! Jill was an awesome host and great to us!
The property was fantastic. Jill (Property Owner) was a joy to deal with and socialize with. Wonderful person. Highly recommend the place if St Croix is your destination!

Thanks Ryan and Stephanie,
Loved having you guys stay! Come back anytime. :)
We had an incredible week-long stay at this charming house in St. Croix, and it truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the dramatic yet relaxing sounds of the ocean set a serene tone for our vacation. The views from the front porch and windows were absolutely stunning—picture-perfect Caribbean vistas that made every morning coffee and evening sunset unforgettable.The house itself was impeccably furnished, offering all the comforts of home and more. The kitchen was highly functional, with everything we needed to prepare meals throughout the week. We especially appreciated the thoughtful inventory of items, including extras like insect spray, which made settling in for an extended stay effortless and stress-free.Our hosts, Jill and Zuri, were the highlights of the experience. Jill was an absolute delight, providing regular debriefs and spot-on recommendations that enhanced our time on the island. Zuri was shy and adorable adding a warm and welcoming touch to our interactions.If we ever return to St. Croix, we'd book this place again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a relaxing, well-equipped getaway!
We had a wonderful stay!! The house is beautiful and we enjoyed many hours just sitting on the deck listening to the waves crash. It’s in a convenient location on the island and everything was easy to get to. Jill was very helpful with recommendations and helping with anything we needed!! Would absolutely recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Jill
I'm a distance swimmer which drew me to move to St Croix all the way from Northern California. I thoroughly enjoying swimming at least a mile most mornings. Seeing turtles, dolphins, rays and such while getting my workout is heavenly! I also love to SCUBA dive and have dove all over the island, however, my favorite spot is "The Wall" at Cane Bay. I'm so happy and grateful to live here and to be able to share my property with those who love St Croix already, or first time visitors. It's a very special, wonderful place!
Why they chose this property
The dramatic oceanfront living (feels like being on a boat without the rocking) and proximity to Cane Bay. I also love that there are several restaurants and bars close by.
What makes this property unique
I love the private setting and the beautiful reef and tide pools in front of the house. This is rare on the island and reminds me of Hawaii. The sea can be calm as a lake, or have big waves rolling in, it's always changing! It's on a little bluff about 20 feet above the water, which keeps it safe from storms (the reef also protects the house). And, the best beach on the island is right down the street! You can walk or drive.
Very unique benefit: If you LOVE and MISS your dogs while traveling, mine are here for you! They will greet you when you come back to the property and they love to be petted and loved! Guests are quite happy with the dog company here. I don't know of any other vacation rental with this situation. The dogs roam the completely walled in 1/2 acre property and have a dog door in and out of my place. When I'm home, they are usually with me, but they love spending time with guests too. They are not allowed in the rental, but they will hang out on the deck and beside the pool with you.
