An older property needing a deep cleaning, so if you are looking for antiseptic, keep scrolling. However, we survived just fine.
Pros:
It is in a quiet area that is an easy walk to Christiansted.
It has a nice view of the harbor, although it’s lower than a lot of condos.
It is spacious and the furniture is comfortable.
If you are mostly walking, it is not too far up the hills.
The swimming pool has an awesome view and is almost always empty.
There are at least three exceptional restaurants within an easy walk in Gallows Bay, along with a nice grocery store and shops.
Shannon, the property manager, was helpful and pleasant.
Cons:
It needs some serious cleaning. The floor looked like it hadn’t been scrubbed in ages, the curtains are dirty from touching the floor, and the tiny coffee maker looked like it never gets cleaned are just a few examples. This isn’t good enough for a place with a huge cleaning fee.
The kitchen and bathrooms are outdated.
The TV is difficult to figure out.
The Wi-Fi didn’t work when we got there, but after several texts with Shannon, we got access to a service that did.
The sliding door and screen to the deck were both worn and difficult to open.
There is a working boatyard right in front of it, so there was some sanding and banging, but that was almost sort of interesting.
At the very end of the booking process, you are given the unreasonable choice of a damage insurance policy OR give the owner an enormous deposit on your credit card.
