This lovely and well-equipped home was the perfect place for our group of friends visiting St. Croix for the first time. Foodies will enjoy the especially well equipped kitchen. And everyone will love the sparkling pool, not to mention the proximity to a great beach. We hope to visit again!

A beautiful home on a gorgeous part of St. Croix! The property was as advertised. The pool was well used and enjoyed by many in my party. The host was very attentive to all of my requests or issues during our stay. The layout of the bedrooms worked really well for our group. We traveled with a family that had small children so the King suite attached to the bedroom with 2 double beds was perfect. The interior of the home was beautifully decorated and the kitchen was well equipped with just about everything that we needed. Our time spent at this beautiful home will be treasured memories. Thank you Kat!!

The rental process was pretty straight forward once we got approved for the house. Overall it was very good

Outstanding home away from home!

The property was ideal with lots of space, large beds and an outstanding view of Shoy's Beach in the distance. Very clean with well-equipped kitchen. Excellent security in an exclusive gated community near The Buccaneer Resort makes for a very relaxing stay. Centrally located with everything on the island a short drive away and only 10 minutes from Christiansted. Our host, Kat, was outstanding, friendly and very quick to assist with anything and everything. We loved it!

Great property. Well kept and well appointed with appliances, cookware, linens, beach accessories, coolers, and even condiments in the refrigerator. Great layout with three identical bedrooms but each decorated differently. Each bedroom has large walk-in closets- each with a makeup area. Ceiling fans abound, even in the bathrooms. The air conditioning works well if you need iit. The pool is large and clean. It’s great for stargazing at night. The windows allow for an ample breezes. Watch for deer in the backyard. (We saw two fawns as well.) You are just minutes away from Shoys Beach at the two beaches at the Bucaneer resort.

Spectacular Stay

We booked this house for my parents & in-laws to stay in while on the island for a destination wedding. This house & host were absolutely wonderful during our entire stay. The host was attentive and kept an open line of communication in case we had any concerns or questions. The house which was located in a gated community was well appointed & well maintained. The views from the pool deck were spectacular. The main rooms all opened up to the pool deck where warm Caribbean breezes could billow in making for a truly relaxing stay. Overall I would highly recommend booking this property!!

Perfect relaxation

We had lots of problems leading up to our stay and Kat worked with us every step of the way. Once we got here it was beautiful. House is just as described and has everything you need. Spent all our time by the pool looking out to the ocean. Our only problem was the roads... so many deep potholes. Our poor rental took a beating... but nothing else was bad for us.

Our stay at the islander

Once in the Shoys neighborhood the home was a bit difficult to find because the street address was as different than what was provided. We found it with a little tour of the neighborhood. Once we arrived we found the home neat and ready for our arrival. It was just as described online. Very spacious. Kitchen equipment plentiful. Everything was in working order We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone traveling to st croix!!

Great find!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at shoys. The house is in a safe spot and beautiful. There are two beaches in under a 10 min walk. One of which has a beach bar with a full menu and bar, kayak rentals etc. The house has all linens, soaps etc. We were very comfortable with 8 of us. The pool is beautiful also. Our host Kat was very responsive to our needs/Questions. Kids had a great time finding lizards and iguanas. There's a store within 10 mins with many good options. This property is highly recommended!
