Kraken Cove St. Croix

Hi, I'm Renee! I live in Chicago with my husband, Keith, son, Spencer, and rescued pup. We enjoy sailing, scuba diving, and for two weeks every October, we run a "home haunt" for charity. The Devil's Playground raises money for Don't Be A Monster's K-12 bullying prevention programs. We create all the scary props and animatronics ourselves. Halloween holds a special place in our hearts--we were even married on Oct. 31. We create custom, commissioned props for all kinds of events like birthday parties and weddings--think 8' tiki heads to flank entryways, Moulin Rouge windmills that really turn and have lights, and hand painted circus games. Our day jobs are in marketing (R) and construction (K) so these "side jobs" are how we flex our creative muscles and put those art degrees to use!

We found a little piece of paradise! From the rooftop terrace with a view of the turquoise blue sea, to the pool overlooking the beach, you will find yourself in a tropical paradise. Our beach condo in St. Croix is a new adventure for us and we are thrilled to share it with guests from around the world. The island is a very special place, from the culture to the glorious beaches, to the vast underwater reefs to explore (if you snorkel or dive). We've recently added some accommodations for our youngest guests including a small bed, tropical bedding, toys, and dishware.

Why stay at Kraken Cove? Well, first of all, we are artists so we spent a lot of time and energy on the aesthetics of our beach condo. We chose crisp white walls to make the swirling turquoise and blue floors the focal point. The decor is elegant sea-themed but not kitschy. The newly renovated bathrooms include showers featuring fishscale tile and tiny, hidden creatures scattered among the penny round. The upstairs lofted bedroom is a huge space that takes in a lovely sea breeze. But enough about the unit! If you come to St. Croix, you are coming to have a magical island experience. Go explore! Kayak a bioluminescent bay at night, ride a horse in the surf at sunset. Take breakfast on the roof terrace while gazing at the sea.
