This condo is in the best area of the island. On a protected bay for snorkeling, has a sand beach, has a pool within feet of the front door, has a beautiful property with mature plantings. There is a security gate with officer. It is a third and fourth floor walk up. Faces the pool, restaurant and Christiansted out the back. And from the fourth floor, faces the northwest waterline. The breeze across the rear deck is fantastic. The longer you stay, the deeper the discount. Stay and enjoy our wonderful island and all that it has to offer!

We had 6 people total and the accommodations were comfortable and everyone was inviting. We loved the balconies, pool, small beach area and the snorkeling right off the beach. Amazing and fun!
We stayed with six adults in this space. The apartment is in a good location within a few minutes drive of Christenstead. This was our first visit to St. Croix and we had fun exploring the beaches and restaurants. The property suited our party well and we enjoyed staying here. If we came back we would stay again if we needed a lot of space. We especially enjoyed the balcony in the morning and evenings with the whole crew. Lovely to have drinks and plan your day or chat about dinner plans. .
Great location near Christiansted-8 minutes from restaurants. Great grilling patio, view of ocean, pool, and restaurant/bar all within gated community.
Great place for the price! Located close to grocery and other shopping downtown. Beds were clean and comfortable. Views were spectacular. The kitchen had everything we needed plus lots of extras in the spices which was a big plus. Would definitely stay here again. Love St Croix!
Relaxing Home Away From Home was the perfect condo for our stay. The views were beautiful & everything we needed was easily accessible within the condo. Marti was a great hostess & responded quickly to any questions we had. Definitely would stay here again & highly recommend to others. Thank you for allowing us to stay & most of all, just relax in your home!!

We had a wonderful stay at Mill Harbor 305. convenient, clean, nice lay out with plenty of room for our family. We felt totally safe with the gate and enjoyed the pool and beach. Thank you for a relaxing vacation.
The host, Marti, was so great about communicating throughout our trip. She provided detailed instructions, lots of St. Croix suggestions and was available during the entire week. The location is drivable to anywhere on the island but was far enough to be relaxing and didn’t feel touristy. Walking access to lots of beautiful beaches, nice pool, and the sunrises were incredible. Plus, the second balcony gave us some nice sunsets too! Great stay!
Great view, especially from loft bedroom. Good location. Near essentials. The restaurant on site is great. There was a leak that was not quickly addressed. Overall, and OK place to stay.

I recommend this VROB very nice and cozy defiantly meets all your needs
The condo is cozy and will fit your needs completely! The staff at the complex is absolutely wonderful. The only thing I suggest is updating the Tv's they didn't work for us, but the staff brought us one for the week and our vacation was beautiful. Would highly recommend this VRBO.
Lovely complex; great amenities! The bar/restaurant is open!
We had a wonderful stay and Marti's home is great. We absolutely loved the pool and the adjoining bar/restaurant, which makes it really more like you are at a resort than a condo complex. Downtown Christianstead (and the bustling boardwalk) is only a few minutes away. Things are hopping again and everyone very conscientiously wears masks/distances across the island. Highly recommend Mill Harbour!
The condo was beautiful, we loved our stay there. Would do it again. When we had a problem, it was solved in moments. Everyone was very responsive, kind and helpful. Outstanding!
There were a couple issues beyond the owners control but she was very responsive in assisting with getting things done. We enjoyed our stay for 2 weeks. The on-site restaurant has awesome food and drinks. The pool was so refreshing at night for nightly swims. Will definitely look at staying again. Thank you Marti!!!
There are always things that can be improved in a property, but I feel like it was what I expected.
The location was great, proximity to Christiansted was good, the sea breeze was amazing, no need for AC. Kids liked the privacy of the loft, and having their own balcony.
This was our family's Christmas present and I must say everyone had a wonderful time! The condo was beautiful and spacious and a quick jump in the car to any location. The six of us adults did have enough room!!! Beautiful view from the balcony as well. Thanks, Marti. Definately will recommend your property.
For the price, size, and location, this is a great property. But with the lower price point come some issues. The beds are comfortable, but the sheets are pilled and should be replaced. The comforters were dusty and need washing. The kitchen always feels a little dirty. Cupboards are packed with stuff and nothing feels clean. But it has all of the basics and tons of extras: beach chairs (some broken), beach towels, floaties, snorkel gear (worked great), and cooler (broken but functional). Not sure how this is legal, but to unlock the door from the inside you must use a key - so if there is a fire you could be trapped. The lock sticks, it was quite a pain to get in and out. But landlord was very responsive when we had a plumbing problem, and the location is close to everything. So if sheets, comforters, lock, and kitchen cabinets are replaced this would be a 5 star rental.

Great condo in a great location
We LOVED the condo and location!! It was fantastic to have a restaurant & pool RIGHT next door and to have the beach just steps away. The staff was friendly and helpful. The condo was clean and comfortable for myself, my SO and my 3 boys. We enjoyed opening the sliding doors and hearing the live music that occurs on the weekends at the restaurant. A grocery store is less then 0.5 miles away (if you have never visited USVI be aware that sometimes selection is limited and costs are generally higher). The island overall is easy to manuever (on the left!!) - I recommend uploading google maps as I found my iPhone maps were not as reliable. We visited: Sea Thru Kayak (check to see if they are operating as they don't go out every week), Udall Point (worth the hike), Christiansted National Historic Site (Fort), Rainbow Beach, Cruzan Distillary, St. George Botanical Garden, Christiansted Boardwalk and as many local eateries as we could cram in. There was not a single place we did not enjoy - just remember "island time" is a thing (you can easily wait an hour from the time you order until your food arrives so plan, and drink :-), accordingly). As always, it was hard to go home.

About the host
Hosted by Marti
We came to St. Croix on vacation and bought immediately.
Why they chose this property
After looking at all of the many condo properties, Mill Harbour had it all. The proximity to the sand beach, the pool, the bar/restaurant. We love it. But we also needed to pay for the opportunity to be here once or twice a year. Thus the vacation rental was born.
What makes this property unique
We have tried to update and upgrade over the years. It is to our tastes with the assumption that it is neutral enough for everyone.
