Beautiful, quiet beach with calm clear water. This was our second stay… and we’ll be back. Our favorite place away from home!

The property is perfect for a relaxing vacation right next to the water. But the best part was the staff Sande, the manager, is the most welcoming, kind, affectionate, warm and inviting person we have ever met. Because of her I will always stay at this property when I come back to STX. I will be telling everyone I know to stay here.
Nice place to get away to. Enjoyed our stay there. Clean place with beautiful water and views. When you dont feel like cooking, you have a Restaurant right next door that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.

This property is amazing. You can snorkel right off the property, room was clean, house keeping was super friendly and gave us fresh towels when needed. I can’t say enough about this property! Also they have the sweetest cat that lives there. Will be booking again.

I had an amazing stay. Literally steps from the calmest beach I’ve ever been to. The room was exceptionally clean, just a little outdated— but I did book their last room available so it makes sense. I was told that the property is so popular you need to book the room at least 11 months in advance. Overall I would most definitely recommend this stay if you’re going for a chill, romantic, or family oriented stay. 10/10.

I liked very much that the property is directly on a clean, quiet and beautiful beach. The property was quiet and clean and well-maintained. Cleaning the room should be improved. The shower had hair on its floor from the previous client. There is a serious ant infestation in the kitchen. The kitchen dinining room seats were ripped off and taped - unacceptable!

Excellent stay! room was quiet and clean and has great beach access! After being on other beaches in St Croix this one is right at the top. Air conditioning was great but when you want to turn it off, the windows open to hear the surf.
