St Croix vacation rental

It was amazing. The condo was lovely and perfect for our vacation. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. The restaurant was having staffing issues, but who isn't? My only complaint was that we couldn't get the TV figured out, but that's a little deal.

It was quiet and peaceful. Well worth the money spent

Based on the photos, description, and some reviews we read on the condo, we were led to believe we booked a condo on the ocean with a balcony. Six days prior to our trip, my wife wanted to look at the amenities again, so we pulled up our booking. To our surprise, the pictures and description of the condo changed indicating the condo was not on the ocean or having a balcony, even though the description said it had a balcony - and still does. We called the host and tried to get a refund, but was informed it was too late. Upon arrival, we actually had to walk down 7 steps to enter the condo. It felt like a basement. There definitely wasn't a balcony, or even a patio.

We booked and paid for 2 months at Estate Garden Rock in St. Croix. The evening of our second day, I had an unexpected heart attack and was taken by ambulance to the hospital and flown to Puerto Rico for care. Thankfully, VRBO reimbursed 75% of the rental fee immediately without complication, for which we are appreciative and grateful. Brent, the assistant manager, went out of his way to help my wife pack and ship our suitcases home. We are deeply grateful for Brent’s help; he was superb!Although we were on site for less than 48 hours, the unit would benefit from more detailed cleaning. The dresser drawers were dirty needing to be wiped out before loading clothing. The coffee maker was dirty to the extent that we purchased a new one. The front door exterior was also quite dusty, leading to a negative first impression. We were not informed that the tap water was not safe to drink until the second day. We suggest that you provide prior notification to purchase bottled drinking water. Attending these hygiene details would help future renters feel comfortable in the unit. Tom and Charlene Fauria

Perfect vacay. Definitely deserves a repeat

Everything was great! It served us well for 5 days on the island. It didn’t matter to us, but know it’s a basement location. Views were of the garden area. Pool was beautiful right on the water. Easy snorkeling from shore.

We had a wonderful vacation in St.Croix. The condo was exactly what we expected from the booking. The renovations were excellent, condo and amenities were great, the beach and pool area was an added bonus. Only feedback we have is there could have been more towels and wash cloths as well as a tv in the master.

The property was in good condition rooms was very clean and nice the only thing that it in life is that we didn’t have a porch and everything was great

We have visited St Croix several times over the past 22 years and usually stay on the North Shore/Carambola. We needed a trip and funds were tight so we gave this place a try. It is not a fancy high-end resort but has everything we need and the location is perfect to explore the entire island. We will definitely be staying here again and it was very fitting for the four of us. There were a few inconveniences like having to contact the owner to figure out how to get into the property once we landed but she was very responsive. The maid had also left all of the towels in the dryer and had not left toilet paper so we had to buy that. She also had not cleaned out the coffee pot but I understand it was a quick turnaround between us in the prior guests. All in all the stay was perfect for our needs. The restaurant on site was fantastic as well and super convenient to walk too.

We were very happy with this rental -- it had a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of space for us. The unit is nicely decorated for a vacation on St. Croix and is close to all we wanted to see! We enjoyed the on-site restaurant/bar as well as the restaurants on the boardwalk in the harbor at Christensted. Since we prefer to have lunch out and dinner in, we found the local markets to be well-stocked (at least considering COVID issues) and a good road-side fish seller to the west (recommended by a local merchant).

Shaun has a very nice condo. He has put a lot of work into it and the interior design is superb. He has thought of most everything one could need and I loved all of the local art used to decorate. The most disappointing thing about the entire experience was the sargasso (seaweed). This gives the place a sewage like smell outside. The “private beach” advertised was unusable for swimming because of the seaweed but children could play in the sand. The pool area was very nice and the restaurant on-site was convenient even though some dishes were unreasonably pricey ($16 for a cup of soup!eek). The fish and chips was the best deal and yummy. Overall it was a wonderful trip and I have no regrets, I would even stay at Shaun’s condo again.

Unit was beautiful and had everything you could possibly need. Beds comfortable and private beach. Thank you Shawn for everything!
