Gorgeous Villa on the Caribbean Sea

The host was good. The house itself is not well maintained. It needs some attention. The area had some good restaurants.

The house was super clean and well stocked. Beds were comfy and we loved our stay !

Excellent host , great communication

The host was attentive but the house had a lot of deferred maintenance items. The location was not near Christiansted as advertised - it was way out on the east end of the island near the Divi Carena casino.

Great little place with a private pool and small beach (can get lots of sargasso) below. Loved watching the turtles come up to the surface while having coffee or a drink on the back porch. This house oozes old charm with saltillo tiles and arched mahogany door, but the place is weathered and has been let go. The wood fence along the road is falling apart and some of the lights don't work, but all of that can be overlooked if you want. Great little spot for one or two couples. Close to Duggan's Reef, Goat Soup & Whiskey, Cheeseburger. Around 20-25 minutes to Christiansted. No owner/guest book to ease with the process, but we would return.

If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the place to be. Adorable villa that is open air and clean. The pool is perfect and the beach is relaxing. (It is a natural beach so expect seaweed smell from washing up in waves) Definitely need a car rental but if you choose not to, I highly recommend Rolly’s Taxi Service!

The place was not anything like advertised. Upon our arrival we attempted to contact the owner, while looking for the key box to get in. We called twice and got no response. Once we located the key and actually got into the luxury villa, it was anything but luxurious. I placed my suitcase on the bed and it collapsed. The whole place was disgustingly filthy, old, and smelled like mildew. There was a dead bug smeared on the bathroom mirror, blood stains on the pillow cases and dirty dishes in the cabinet. I went to wash the dishes and the dishwasher took your breath away, with smell of mold and mildew. The couch was worn and torn, the floors were disgustingly filthy and watermarks on the ceiling. The paint was peeling in the kitchen and toilet seat was broken. We didnt even unpack, we called VRBO and filed a complaint, which the owner then contacted us. We advised him we were not staying and booked hotel rooms. He graciously refundedus a third back and told us we were lucky he was giving us that!! I can not and will not recommend this place to anyone. It is by far the worst experience with a VRBO rental we have ever had. I sent pictures to the owner, who said the villa was just cleaned. He sent back pictures saying it was, but his pictures even showed the broken bed!! I wish I could post pictures on here to show what the place actually looks like. The pictures on VRBO have to be old ones because this place has not been kept updated!!

The property is surrounded by lush tropical plants and foliage. It was all in full bloom. The house was very clean and AC units in bedrooms were adequate.The ocean view is spectacular. The sea grass was present but we found an easier access to beach about 100 feet toward in the direction toward casino.

We enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

I hate to leave negative reviews, but I WISH someone would’ve spared our family from a negative experience, so I want to tell you the truth. The house is lovely and as described, however the smell from the rotting seaweed that had been there for months was truly disgusting. We noticed that many locations right down the beach were cleaned up, but the beach in front of this house had not been cleaned up in what seems a long time. After talking to several locals, we found out this is a regular issue for this particular area. I would NOT recommend staying in this location. The smell was so bad we couldn’t stand to open the doors and let the open air house have the ocean breeze. The air conditioning worked well, but even with the doors closed, the smell was so bad we stayed out of the house except to sleep. We could not enjoy the house or pool at all due to the horrible smell. Also of note, the wifi and internet never worked the whole time we were there, although since we were only there as little time as possible, it wasn’t a huge issue. The property manager helped us relocate to another house, and we loved the second location. We appreciated David and his help finding just the right new place. I know the owner cannot control the seaweed, and it’s unfortunate that it collects in this area. However, I wish I would’ve known about the smell so I could’ve made the decision to rent or not with that understanding. Now you know. Lovely house. Terrible smell.
