Oceanfront Villa For Groups-Dive & Snorkel-3 En-suite King/Queen Bedrooms.
Wake up over the water on St. Croix's North Shore. North Star Villa sits directly on the ocean at Cane Bay, where the seafloor drops more than two miles into the Puerto Rico Trench just offshore. The famous Cane Bay Wall — one of the Caribbean's few true shore dives — begins at the bottom of our steps. Turtles, reef fish, seahorses, lobster, and in winter the occasional passing whale, all without booking a boat.
Three en-suite bedrooms, built to split evenly. Two kings and a queen, each with its own private bath and each opening directly onto the pool deck. A fourth bath serves the common areas. The layout suits three couples, friends traveling together, or a month away from the cold — no one draws the short straw. Sleeps 6.
Inside, travertine stone floors run throughout, set off by reclaimed mahogany and teak furnishings and Havana-style ceiling fans. The 32-foot living and dining room seats eight, and the kitchen is fully equipped: stainless appliances, granite counters, five-burner range with air-fryer oven. All bedrooms are air-conditioned.
Outside, the pool sits above the water, wrapped by a deck you can fish from or simply not leave. The 40-foot covered porch holds the grill and the dinner table, facing west — every evening ends with a full view of the sunset over Annaly Bay and the Hams Bluff lighthouse. On clear days, St. Thomas and St. John sit on the northern horizon.
Two dive shops are within walking distance. Christiansted's restaurants and historic waterfront are 20 minutes east. St. Croix is reachable nonstop from Newark and Atlanta, with one connection from most of the country.
Weekly and monthly rates available. A mahogany study desk with hutch offers a dedicated workspace, and WiFi is included — the villa is a frequent choice for month-long winter stays and returning guests, including federal marine researchers who come back season after season.
Please note: the pool and shoreline are unfenced with no child-safety features, and the property includes elevated decks and direct ocean access over rocky terrain. For these reasons, the villa is not suitable for young children and is best suited to adult groups.

Great property for longer stay. Great central location to visit all parts of the island. Seperate rooms and bathrooms made it great for the group. Wonderful pool and ocean views to relax by.

Thank you, Carol! We’re so glad the villa was perfect for your birthday getaway. Happy you enjoyed the location, the space, and those relaxing ocean views. Hope to host you again soon!
The house was absolutely spectacular! We had such a lovely time relaxing by the pool, dining alfresco with the sound of the waves, enjoying the beautiful views, amazing snorkling, and more. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. Jonathan and Barbara were excellent hosts and even provided a pack n play when ours was lost in transit. The house was great for our 3-year old who loved chasing the lizards and “crabbies” (hermit crabs). He even got a special visit from Jonathan’s rescued turtle. We love Cane Bay, especially dining at The Landing and enjoying cocktails on the beach. The location of the house was perfect. We can’t recommend it enough. We’ll definitely be back.
Party of 6, 3 adult couples stayed for 12 days. Owners are absolutely amazing. Very quick responses and attentive. Location is perfect proximity to beaches. Beautiful views and sunsets. Pool and deck space was absolutely perfect! Beds and bedrooms were very comfortable! Such a relaxing stay, highly recommend!

My family (2 parents and 2 teen/tween kids) had an excellent stay at Northstar Villa. The property is in an ideal location for water activities, great beaches, and near popular restaurants. The villa itself is great for families or couples traveling together, as there are 3 separate bedrooms, each with a bathroom and great views. Barby &Jonathan were excellent and attentive hosts. We truly enjoyes it!!attcomforvilla
The owners live on site and it was great to have them close by for questions or concerns. They are very nice people who have done a wonderful job restoring a ruined property. It is directly on the beach with a nice pool with a large deck. The bedrooms are nice size with a bathroom in each one. It was just a great place to stay and we can not wait to have a chance to go back and stay again.
We enjoyed our stay at North Star. The Villa is beautiful with gorgeous views. The layout of the villa was great, plenty of room to relax indoors or outdoors. Each room has their own door/lock with bathroom. We stayed with 2 other couples and truly enjoyed being able to relax outside and cook each night. We were so pleased with our trip and Barby and Jona were amazing host. Definitely recommend this property !!

Our family had a wonderful week at North Star. The layout was perfect for three couples. The bedrooms, pool, kitchen, living areas are super. Outstanding views of the ocean from every room. Hosts are super responsive, informative, and kind. By the way, the location offers excellent snorkeling or SCUBA diving at the "Wall" directly in front of house. So glad we stayed at North Star and will definitely consider returning next year,

Spent Christmas at the property with our 3 adult children. The house was clean, well stocked and in a great location. Barbara and Jonathan went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. You could also not ask for a better location or hosts. Right on the water, close to amazing beaches and restaurants, this place has it all. A rental car is needed, but driving on the island was super simple. We can’t wait to go back!!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for spending Christmas at North Star Villa Beach House! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the clean, well-stocked home, amazing location, and nearby beaches and restaurants. It was truly a pleasure hosting your family, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another wonderful stay!
Everything was great! Communication, from booking to during the visit, was prompt and helpful. We really appreciated Jonathan meeting us at the airport so we could follow him to the villa the first time. The grocery pick-up in advance made it so smooth for us to make dinner within hours of arriving. Accommodations were great, comfortable rooms and so many places to sit an enjoy the views. Kitchen has everything you need. The pool was chilly, a nice cool down when enjoying the sunshine (but too cold to really spend much time in during our wintertime visit). We enjoyed nearby zip-lining and Davis Beach (within Carambola Resort), as well as seeing other parts of the island. It should be noted that the waves are loud - most of our group needed earplugs for sleeping.
If you were closer to the waves, you would be on a ship.
Northstar is one of the prettiest vistas on St. Croix. And Northstar Villa is right in the heart. A beautiful home, with an eye on detail. With each room having its own en-suite, this property is great for family’s and friends alike. The hosts were onsite, but not intrusive. And there to maintain this beautiful property. We will be back.

Brad, it was lovely to meet you and your beautiful family. Thank you for making Northstar Villa your vacation home and for taking such great care of it. We welcome you back to continue to create lovely memories as your family grows. Thank you so much! Jona and Barby
My husband and I absolutely loved North Star Villa! Out of all the places we've stayed in St. Croix over the years, this property was by far the best. The view is breathtaking (from literally every single room in this house)! The hosts, Jona and Barbara, were incredibly accommodating, thoughtful, and kind and the house has anything and everything you could possibly want or need. The property is quiet, peaceful, and private, and you couldnt ask for a better location. The snorkeling was amazing (we saw more right in front of the house than we did at Buck Island) and we even got to see whales one morning while we drank our coffee on the back patio! Honestly, we cannot say enough good things about this house, the property, and the owners!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are beyond thrilled to hear that you and your husband had such a memorable stay at North Star Villa. It means the world to us to know that our villa stood out among your many visits to St. Croix! We love sharing this special place with guests like you, and we’re so glad you enjoyed everything from the views and amenities to the quiet privacy and the incredible marine life right off the beach.
Seeing whales while sipping coffee sounds like pure magic! We’d be honored to welcome you both back anytime for another unforgettable getaway.

We really enjoyed this rental. First of all, Barbara and Johnathan, the owners, are amazing! They provided suggestions daily on places to go for entertainment or eating, fresh fruit and honey and great conversation! They were there if we needed anything! The house is great as well! Johnathan does an amazing job keeping the pool clean and daily trash service so we did not have to fool with it. The bedrooms are private with your own bathroom and amazing bedding. The kitchen is well stocked for anything you need and plenty of towels for beach/ pool use. The views are beautiful. It is a great place to rent and we will return. Thank you Barbara and Johnathan for a great stay!
My guests loved staying at this well maintained, clean and stunning property. The hosts were very responsive and made everybody comfortable. We can't wait to return!
This is our second time staying at Northstar Villa. The property is amazing. The only thing you hear is the sound of the waves and the pebbles rolling in the surf. Plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Great covered patio and open spaces for the folks that want to be in the sun. The owners are so helpful and kind. Jona brought us passion fruits and carambolas. Barbara had a beautiful bouquet of flowers to greet my mom and celebrate her 90th birthday. Being right on North Shore it’s an easy walk to Cane Bay to eat at The Landing, Off the Wall or Spratnet. Great location for some exercise and hiking up the beast, left on Scenic Drive and down to the north shore again (5.9 miles). Love, love, love this place.
Talk about luxury at it's finest. The web page does not do this property justice. The entire complex (and it is a complex- a true villa) has been remodeled with the most beautiful amenities. If you are a diver, this is your dream as it is located on one of the best dive sites in the world- North Str at Cane Bay. A few rocky pebbles of getting out there and you are on a completely unspoiled and untouched dive site with a wall that extends beyond 3500 feet. The small waves that come in from the north will lull you to sleep every night. No restaurant on the Island has a better view. There are multiple decks, an ample sized swimming pool and each bedroom has it's own en suite bathroom/shower and is totally private from the other rooms and the house. The owners are fabulous, very hands on cleaning the pool every day and there in a snap if anything happens. Our Family will definitly be coming back to North Star!!!
The villa at Northstar is not just oceanfront....you are literally ON the ocean during your entire stay. The owners Barby and Jonathan made the booking process easy (questions were promptly answered) and they were very gracious and helpful during our stay as well. The villa was clean, nicely decorated and well supplied. If you are an experienced diver, there is great scuba diving directly from the property. The pool was cleaned everyday, the kitchen had everything you could want and then some. I cannot recommend this property highly enough. If you love the ocean this is the place for you.

Awweee! Thank you for such awesome review! We are delighted that you were able to do your dives directly from the house. What an experience! You are so welcome to our ocean paradise anytime, thank you for taking care of our villa and leaving it immaculately clean. See you soon! Barby & Jona
3 Restaurants are close by (< 5 min) The Landing, AMA & Off the Wall. Flyers at Salt River Marina is also a good choice (15-20 min drive). AMA is the only one that takes reservations and you will need them even for a party of two. Book in advance through Open Table.

About the host
Hosted by Barbara Hitesman
Why they chose this property
We didn't choose Cane Bay for convenience — we chose it for the water. The Wall is right offshore, the waves run all day and all night, and the North Shore stays quiet in a way the rest of the island doesn't. We built our life here because it felt less like a destination and more like home. That's what we offer our guests: not a rental, but a second home on the ocean — the kind of place people return to season after season, and many do.
What makes this property unique
The Cane Bay Wall — one of the Caribbean's few true shore dives — begins at the bottom of our steps. No boat, no charter schedule: wake up, gear up, walk in. Two dive shops sit within walking distance if you need tanks or a guide.
The house itself is arranged the way groups actually travel: three en-suite bedrooms, two kings and a queen, each with a private bath and each opening directly onto the pool deck. Nobody gets the lesser room.
And the position — the villa faces west over open water, so every evening ends with the sun going down behind Annaly Bay and the Hams Bluff lighthouse, watched from the deck with the waves running below. Federal marine researchers choose this stretch of coast for a reason, and they come back season after season.
