Absolutely a great place to stay. All expectations were met. Access and parking were a breeze and private, the room was clean, and the bed was super comfortable. Location was very convenient to many of the high points of St Croix. Perfect for a couple's retreat.

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to hosting you again in the future!
Great stay! Great space, very clean, with easy check in and private gated parking. Hosts were very helpful with recommendations of where to eat and places to see! There were plenty of clean extra linens. There was a fridge/freezer, coffee pot, and sink in the kitchenette. There is a mini split ac unit in the room which kept the room comfortable. We will definitely be back!

Thank you for your stay! We are so happy you loved our Hidden Treasure! We welcome you back anytime!
This was a great property to stay at! I loved the convenience to the West End beaches and Christiansted. I felt very safe, as the property is located in a lovely neighborhood while still being very private. I especially loved the separate private driveway and all the mango trees! There were even bananas growing just outside the unit.It was a great getaway for a short stay, and I wish I could have stayed longer. The bed was very comfortable, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches, including the gift basket with goodies. The AC kept the unit nice and comfortable, and the fridge was stocked with starter drinks so I did not have to run to the store the first night.The unit was very clean, and I highly recommend this cute tropical hidden treasure! The hosts were amazing and incredibly helpful throughout my stay.
