I traveled to St. Croix alone; therefore I wanted to stay in a location that was safe and close to the beach. The onsite property management staff were incredibly helpful! The night manager helped me bring in luggage and groceries. The day manager offered great suggestions on places to visit in town. The beach was serene and quiet. Plenty of seating at different times of the day. Groundskeepers worked throughout the day to maintain the seaweed. The onsite restaurant (no longer called Breezes) served delicious food and drinks. Staff were courteous and attentive. The condo was cleaned very well prior to my visit. The kitchen was well-appointed, the fridge was empty and spotless, plenty of plastic containers to pack snacks for the beach, and the air conditioner was quiet and cools the space quickly. The bathroom was incredibly clean. The walk in shower is very spacious, great water pressure, and the water stayed hot the entire shower. Plenty of drawers to store toiletries.
- Things to take note of, but did not affect my stay:
1. There is a window in the bathroom that faces the hallway of the building. Something to be mindful of at night.
2. Bottles of water and snacks were not provided, as the description indicated; so be sure to stop at the market prior to arriving. Luckily I had groceries, so this wasn't a concern for me.
3. Beach towels were not provided in the unit, as the description stated, but there were plenty with the property manager.
4. I wanted a tech free vacation, so I didn't bring my laptop to watch movies. The available TV stations all had static so I watched shows on my cell phone while eating.
- Communication with Shawn
Prior to booking, prior to arrival, and during the trip- Shawn answered all of my questions timely and efficiently. I had to shorten my trip and Shawn was very understanding.
- Why four stars?
Simple: the bed. As previous posters have mentioned, the bed is not comfortable at all. The bed squeaks when sitting on it and when moving during sleep. The box spring has noticeable brown stains on all sides. Between the mattress and box spring are sheets of plywood. The mattress itself is quite thin and flimsy. I did not sleep comfortably, instead I slept on the couch. Would I return to this condo again if I travelled solo, yes; but with the expectation to sleep on the couch if the bed is not replaced with something more comfortable. Overall, a great visit and location! Will return!
