The perfect air conditioned efficiency studio for an adventurous couple. Recently remodeled, you'll love the peace and tranquilness of our little mountain top. This is central to everything and located on the scenic route with the best views on the island! Over 180 degrees of views looking East to Buck Island and Christiansted Harbor to the South West across Windsor's Forest to the South Shore. Watch the ships sail across the seas. Deer regularly pass through the property and drive. Just 10 minutes from Cane Bay Beach and some of the world's best scuba diving off "The Wall." Only 15 minutes from downtown Christiansted, and 20 minutes from downtown Fredericksted, this property is centrally located if you're looking to venture across the island during your trip! The owner of the property is happy to take you on guided hikes to the tide pools, lighthouse, into the rain forest to see the beer drinking pigs, or better yet take you to some of the best shore diving spots on the island. The studio comes equipped with a full size day bed. A small dining nook set for two, kitchen with gas stove, microwave, and fridge also await you at Windsor's Rest. Windsor's Rest is part of the Windchime Estates, a property known for it's constant Eastern breezes, and built from pieces of the late trimaran which sailed the world twice, Windchime! You'll want to rent a Jeep while staying at the property as the roads on the island can be rough to drive at times. WIFI and a light breakfast is included, and so is your very own bottle of Cruzan Rum! You will absolutely love your stay at Windsor's Rest! Full use of the studio apartment named Windsor's Rest, and access to an outdoor gazebo. We're very friendly, and love meeting new people. We also understand when you just want to be alone or do your own thing! Happy to help when needed, or head out to a bar or restaurant too! We live on the North Shore Scenic Route, with some of the best views of the island. Our home and apartments sit above Windsor's Forest, a nature preserve. Deer regularly roam through the neighborhood and yard. We're just a few minutes from Cane Bay Beach, 10-15 from Christiansted, and 15-20 from Fredericksted. One of the most central spots on the island. You'll need to rent a car if you're staying with us on the North Shore, preferably with some height to it to help with the mountain roads. We recommend a Jeep. On the island, many of the roads are unpaved, or need to be repaved (pot holes everywhere!) Do not wait until the last minute to try and secure a rental vehicle. Make your reservation now. With workers and tourists, many times and vehicles cannot be secured the same day you arrive without a reservation. Besides, renting a Jeep means you get to take the top off and enjoy the island life the way it should be! :) We live in the mountains on St. Croix. It's beautiful, but the roads are not always maintained well by the Virgin Islands Government. We live on a dirt road, require you have a car rental at minimum (no public transport), and we recommend that you rent a Jeep or SUV when staying with us. In general, roads on St. Croix are not that great. Jeeps are the most popular vehicles on island, so be sure to rent one early!

Why they chose this property
This property was purchased because of its amazing central location to everything on the island, beautiful scenic views (located on the scenic route, north shore), proximity to the best diving on the island, amazing constant breezes on top of the mountain, and the natural wooded preserve of Windsor's Forest below.
What makes this property unique
This apartment is part of the Windchime Estates, named after a 39 foot trimaran that sailed the world twice! The masts of the ship can be found in the home's construction which was rebuilt after Hugo in the 1980s. The ship was lost on a day charter out on Round Reef infront of Christiansted which you can see from the house. Originally the plan was to rebuild the ship, but after Hugo, pieces were used to reconstruct the home's porch and back patio! Today you can hear the music of the gentle windchimes on the property, hung as a reminder of its rich history!
