Coral Reef, Shoys Home! - 2 minute walk to the beach!
Dive into majestic beauty previously only achievable hundreds of feet below sea level. Coral Reef brings the captivating allure of the deep sea to St. Croix to make your vacation dreams come true. Located less than 20 minutes from the airport, you'll be ready to relax soon after you land. You and seven of your closest friends or family members will be comfortable in the brilliantly bright four-bedroom, four-bathroom, single-level home located in the exclusive Shoys community. You'll stay cool in air conditioned rooms, complimented by the relaxing breeze of ceiling fans on high-pitched ceilings and the crosswinds from the salty air.
This stunning home is beautifully decorated, pulling colors straight from the stunning views of the ocean, garden, pool, and nearby Buck Island. There's also an outdoor shower and toilet for those guests who like to be one with nature every chance they get. Soak up the rest of the outdoors on the expansive wood deck that offers refreshing breezes while enjoying incredible views.
The first bedroom is a spacious 800 square feet, outfitted with a luxurious king bed and large en suite bathroom with two sinks to provide privacy for a lucky couple or single traveler. The high-ceilinged room is considered one of three masters, and its tenant(s) can step out onto the private deck for a quiet look at the ocean and garden. The second bedroom is also very spacious, with a comfortable king bed, updated en suite bathroom, walk-in shower, and access to the private deck with views of the lush garden and sparkling pool. The air conditioning and fan will keep its guests cool and comfortable in any temperature. The third bedroom, with a roomy en suite bathroom with double sinks, features a spacious queen bed and private access to the pool deck. The fourth full bedroom is perfect for kids or two separate vacationers. Its two twin beds allow for comfortable floor space, and the private deck access makes it easy to get out of bed and enjoy the views.
When everyone comes together to relax and enjoy the surroundings, the living space can easily seat all guests. With Wifi and access to the expansive outdoor area, there's entertainment available to fit any guest's preference. When meal times come around, eight people can sit in the dining space, with plenty of room for overflow into the living area, kitchen island, outside patio, or large deck. The kitchen also features a fridge, oven, dishwasher, ice maker, oven, stove, microwave, toaster, and coffeemaker.
To stock up on groceries upon arrival, or to grab a quick meal or snack on your way to the beach, stop by the Seaside Market and Deli. It's just a five-minute drive away and has all of the delicious supplies your vacation appetite could crave. If you don't feel like cooking or you would just like to get out for a taste of local cuisine, The Mermaid restaurant is a four-minute drive from the home's private entryway.
When the weather is nice—which it usually is—your group may opt to grill and dine poolside, where the entire group can find seating to come together and enjoy the outdoors and beverages can be kept close in the outdoor fridge. The home boasts an indulgent private saltwater pool with lots of seating options, but if you would like to feel the sand under your toes, you can drive just two minutes away (or walk six minutes) to Shoys Beach.
Shoys Beach is a secluded and picturesque stretch of white sand overlooking the Caribbean waters within a gated community on the East End of St. Croix. The water is calm with a sandy bottom, perfect swimming and snorkeling. Shoys Beach is frequented by locals, part-time residents, regular visitors, and vacationers alike, so you are sure to be in great company. Get your snorkel and prepare for a luxurious stay in Coral Reef.
So what about getting there? You will be greeted at the airport, assisted with transportation, and escorted to your vacation home. Upon arrival, you will be provided a tour of the home and information about all the activities St Croix has to offer. We look forward to the opportunity to provide you with a quintessential vacation experience during your stay.

Hi Kristin, thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear the layout worked perfectly for your family and that everyone had their own space to relax and enjoy. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back for another stay soon!
Property location is very good. Our group enjoyed the villa and our stay. But had some problem that were not addressed in a timely manner.

Nonetheless, we are glad you enjoyed your vacation and appreciate you choosing VI Premier Vacation Rentals to host your stay. Take care and all the best!
4 couples for a week was an excellent experience. The house is in a wonderful location with a pool and easy walk to the beach. It was nicely stocked and had very nice linens and towels. Check in was easy
This was the most perfect family vacation we have ever had! The house was perfect, the location was perfect! The management company could not have been any better, anything we needed they were there for us plus some! I will not VRBO any other house in St Croix than this one. It was perfect! Thank you so much
I would give more stars if i could. Beautiful home, very clean, thoughtfully appointed. Everything you need and more. Convenient location. Cant wait to come back!
Absolutely beautiful. Everything we needed and more. Laurel was great and cheerful. Four couples enjoyed the pool and front deck and close to beach. We wish we could move in!
The Coral Reef house was perfect for our family's needs! It is both comfortable and clean. The appliances are up to date and electronics, tv options, air conditioning were awesome! We loved the location which is in a beautiful neighborhood near a quiet beach. We would love to rent this home again in the future!!

Charlotte, thank you so much for allowing VI Premier Vacation Rentals to host your stay! We appreciate the feedback! Take care!
You can’t beat the ocean view from this house. It is across the street from one of the best beaches in St Criox! The home is spacious and open. Fantastic for a group of friends or a family! The host picked us up from the airport, made sure we got our rental car, had us follow them to the house, and got a walk through to make sure everything was up to par.
We had the best time at Coral Reef! The house was super clean and had everything you need and more. The beds were so comfortable! The pool was really nice. The neighborhood was so nice and quiet. Laurel, the property manager was amazing. She was so helpful and always available for any questions. Check in was super easy. Would definitely recommend the house to anyone!

Thank you for your great feedback. We are so happy you had a great experience at our home. We agree, Laurel is amazing!
Perfectly pictured and described. Roomy with all the necessities. On the plus side it was in a wonderful neighborhood that was peaceful and quiet. On the minus side it was not near anything except the beach so a rental car or taxi were required to go anywhere else.

Lovely property but...
My family and I enjoyed the property. There was an issue which I felt could have been handled differently by property management. The greeter was great...informative, helpful and warm.

From prior property manager: Guest staying within the elite community of Shoys are required to follow both rental terms and community regulations. These are set in place for guest and property safety as well as to ensure enjoyment of the community by all. A report from security regarding a violation is very serious to us and all steps to insure a resolve must be taken. The standard of this neighborhood is generally appreciated by guests who are seeking some R & R. We invite you to come enjoy the peaceful surrounding's of Coral Reef.
The description doesn't include all this property delivered. Beautiful views, peaceful pool, walking distance to a white sand beach you basically have to yourself. Each room has a multiple device charging station. The beds were SO comfortable. They provide all the dishes/appliances you could need. Pool floats. Snorkel gear. & you wake up to ocean views! We felt welcomed & like the house was actually ours. A little feedback, watch your shins on the bed frames & we would've swept up & cleaned up more if there was a house broom & dustpan & cleaning supplies.
This was an amazing property, perfect neighborhood, perfectly clean, great place for travelling to our activities.We had two problems. One was that we had no water. My husband is a contractor so he could make the system work for bare necessities, but spent hours of his vacation time working on the water system. The other problem was that he could not communicate the problem to the manager. The manager just ignored the problem and would not allow my husband to talk directly to the water system technician. Once my husband was able to talk to the tech, the tech realized what the problem was and came with an assistant and repaired the system. The pump and the pump switch were both not working. Once fixed, we had water and everything was perfect. Too bad we only had good water for our last two days. Connor was great! He picked us up at the airport, showed us the house, and then repaired the water system.

Cynthia, thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you choosing VI Premier Vacation Rentals to host your stay. We strive to ensure all guests are comfortable and their stay is a 5-star stay - hence why we are always on standby to answer any questions or concerns our guests may have. However, it is rather difficult to rectify any issue if it is not communicated to us in a timely manner. We urge all guests to contact us first if there is a problem to allow our team to rectify any issues immediately. We do not recommend guests try fixing things on their own, damage items then call us for help. We really wish you had called us first before damaging the water pump which in return caused you some inconvenience during your stay. Nonetheless, we're glad after the damage was done, you called and we were able to visit the property right away to make the needed repairs so your vacation could end on a good note! Take care and all the best!
The house exceeded our expectations! The property manager had everything we needed along with extra “goodies” to enjoy. The space accommodated us wonderfully. We loved being able to get to Shoys Beach in just a few minutes walk or take a short drive and hang out at the Buccaneer Hotel beach. The entire family would be happy to go back to this property again!
The only negative would be the roosters that roam the entire island. They are noisy! They did wake some of us up, but I would rather be up enjoying the island instead of sleeping! This is not a house problem though since they are everywhere.

Beautiful home, when you look from the outside it appears a normal home but walk inside and wow!! Especially the outside bedroom. Kitchen excellent. Could not ask for a better home
Laurel and VI Premier Vacation Rentals were Terrific
Laurel and her team at VI Premier Vacation Rentals went out of the their way to ensure our house and overall experience were excellent. I will use them everytime I am back in the USVI!! Thank you!
My family and I traveled to St Croix for a wedding and decided to make a full vacation out of the trip. We were so glad we chose this property. The location was perfect nestled with access to two awesome beaches and since it was on the Buccaneer property we had access to their restaurant and beach as well. It was close to town and many excellent restaurants as well. The check in and property manager were excellent. If we had a question or issue during our stay it was answered promptly. We are already planning our return and definitely hope to stay here again!
