Our stay was beyond our expectations! The house was very well-equipped for all of our cooking, exploring, and beach needs. It was so cool in the evenings…we never used AC. The property, including the beach, was perfect. Theresa is an amazing host, so friendly! We were sad to leave and are now aged to return!

This rental exceeded our expectations. The house was exactly as described and offered plenty of room for everyone to spread out comfortably. The kitchen had everything we needed — more utensils and supplies than most rentals provide.The outdoor area was truly special. There was so much space to meander around, enjoy the fresh air, and take in the peaceful surroundings. The ocean views were absolutely stunning, and the private beach access made the stay feel extra special.Our host went above and beyond in every way. Their attention to detail and genuine care made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend this property.

Return To Paradise

This was our second stay at Seaside Serenity. It was everything we remembered from the previous year and more. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We were lulled asleep by the waves at night and enjoyed our morning coffee seaside. It was a perfect stay. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer.

Such a peaceful and quiet location

If you're looking for a quiet secluded house that's rare to find on the Virgin Islands, this is it! The property and house were beautiful and Theresa was a fantastic and welcoming host! We also enjoyed meeting Ruby and Lucy, Theresa's fur babies. My boyfriend and I will definitely return with our families as there's more than enough room for five.

Paradise!!

We just loved this place. This house is in a perfect location. It was close to the airport and 15 minutes from Christiansted. Theresa was a wonderful host. She had a lot of great recommendations. The private beach was our daughter's favorite. The house was well stocked. We had some mad games of Uno. And we just loved the pups. They made the stay complete.

Amazing stay

Theresa is an amazing host. The best host I’ve ever had. This was my first stay on this platform, but I’ve stayed in a lot through the competitors. She is by far the best. The private beach was amazing for me. The water was a little rough while we were there, but the peace and solitude was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!

Paradise !!

This was the perfect place for our vacation. Theresa greeted us as soon as we arrived. Showed us the property and gave us the history of the place. We had an amazing time there. Coffee in the mornings watching the turtles. She was an amazing host. The home was very well stocked with everything we needed. The place was as perfect as you would want. We are already planning another trip there. Thank you, Theresa, for everything. We HIGHLY recommend this home for your stay.

Paradise!

What an amazing property. The home is one of the best supplied we have ever stayed in. The kitchen even has sharp knives! Unheard of! The view is spectacular, the secluded sand beach was amazing. From paddleboarding right from the beach to snorkeling just down the shore to relaxing it was perfect. Theresa is the best host we have experienced! She kept us informed of local happenings, suggestions for activities and the best local cuisine ( don't miss Salt or Too Chez). All in all the perfect getaway!

Truly: Seaside Serenity

We loved our stay and our host. The house was stocked like a home and little things you might need like a sewing kit. No guarantee but quite nice. Evening dinners on the bluff line overlooking the ocean were our favorite! She even charged my daughters camera battery. Top Notch!! There was some seaweed on the beach while we were there that was disappointing but nothing they could control.

The most beautiful stay

My wife and I stayed here for 6 nights and it was the most peaceful getaway. Having such a private place with the most fantastic view was so perfect for our time away together. Having a private beach was really the icing on the cake! For the first two days we had no reason to leave the VRBO because we just enjoyed our time at the private beach and cooking at home. Theresa was a great hostess, welcoming us when we arrived but really was hands off, making us feel like we truly were secluded from the outside world. But she was just a text message away if we needed anything, and gave us some great recommendations on places to eat and things to do! Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to all our family and friends!

About the host

Hosted by Theresa Harper

Host profile image
My husband and I enjoy outdoor sports, such as cycling, running, stand-up paddle boarding, and can give you great tips on where to hike or rent a bike to best enjoy our little paradise.

Why they chose this property

We are fortunate to live on such a beautiful slice of paradise. We have lived on Estate Cane Garden for 30+ years and can't think of a more special piece of property on St. Croix. Our cottage is situated on a private estate where tranquility is a way of life. (We live next door to Seaside Serenity with our friendly dog, Rudi) The green pasture to our north, although occasionally cut, helps maintain the quiet ambiance of the estate. The blue Caribbean Sea, just 30 steps from the backdoor, is a playground for pelicans, sea turtles, terns, oyster catchers and many colorful fish.

What makes this property unique

We have renovated Seaside Serenity with a modern kitchen and bathrooms and have added an outdoor shower, which has the best view! Enjoy sitting at the outdoor table with your coffee in the morning while the pelicans dive for their breakfast. An outdoor bench under the great Maho tree is a wonderful place to enjoy the serenity of the sea. (No smoking is permitted in the house nor on any parts of the property)
