Vacation with Friends

To celebrate our 50th birthdays myself and 3 close friends along with their spouses rented this oceanfront villa. The property was exactly as advertised! It was clean and modern and offered all the amenities we needed. If you didn't want to leave the villa, you don't have to! You can snorkel right in front of the property or enjoy the sun by the beautiful pool while listening to music through the portable JBL speakers that are included with the property. The property was a quiet, private oasis with the only noise coming from the waves of the ocean. If you're looking for a getaway from work and the hustle and bustle of every day life, this is the perfect location. However, if you'd like to go out to eat, visit another beach or walk the boardwalk in Christiansted, everything you need or would like to do is a short drive from the villa. Lastly, the hosts were very responsive and provided some great tips before we arrived that made our stay even better. I couldn't be more pleased with our experience.

Wonderful Getaway

Wow! What a wonderful week! Everything was too notch and the owner and caretaker were extremely accommodating. Chef Jay’s meals were delicious and we loved the convenience of being able to eat at the Villa and enjoy our time there. The first nights welcome meal was an awesome treat after a long travel day. Highly recommend and we would absolutely stay here again!

Fabulous spot

We can’t say enough good things about this spot. The setting is ideal with easy beach access and of course the pool. The space is perfect for gatherings. The owner was responsive beforehand and has a wonderful go-to person (Austin) who met us at the airport to guide us to the house and show us the ropes (you do need a car; the house is remote). We were greeted with a complementary meal which was outstanding after a day of travel. Chef Juliana is a skilled caterer and we hired her to do two other meals which were outstanding. We all agreed this was one of our best family vacations ever. We will be back!!!

Beautiful setting

Great owner who communicated well. The Caretaker Austin met us at the airport, led us to the grocery, and then to the house. He explained everything we needed to know about the house and answered all our questions. His wife provided our first meal and we used her services for another dinner. We had one issue that was no one's fault. We came back to the house one evening and there was no running water, Austin came right over and despite being there for over an hour could not get the water back on. He returned the next morning with a plumber and the issue was rectified. Overall very pleased with the house and would return

A Special Birthday Celebration

Villa Santa Cruz was absolutely wonderful. The online listing does not do it justice - the house is much more majestic; the ceilings are soaring, the kitchen is quite large, and the house setting itself is perfect. There were activities for all of us, and the house was well equipped for snorkeling, swimming, drinking rum, grilling, playing billiards, and impossibly fun jigsaw puzzles. Everyone wants to return next year! A memorable vacation for all of us!

Amazing way to ring in the new year

We had a fabulous time in St. Croix. We are avid scuba divers and wanted to start the year under the sea! We needed a larger home for all of us an wanted to stay near the dive center in cane bay. This house was perfect. Not only was is clean and comfortable, it was a perfect location for us. The property managers were amazing, helpful and so inviting. They had dinner made for us upon arrival and it was delicious. Austin was very helpful with our questions upon arrival and Stephanie was very quick to answer us right away. We loved the house it was just as pictured. The home sits on a very small beach which is very accessible and was a fun way to explore. The shell and sea glass seeking was a great added bonus. The views are magnificent and I can't recommend this property enough. We use VRBO all the time and this home was spectacular. We will be back! Thank you Stephanie for hosting us in your gorgeous home!

Terrific experience

This was our second visit to the villa. Often, when you seek to follow up a great experience, the second time disappoints. This was most certainly not the case! The house is exactly as advertised--gorgeous with spectacular views, clean, spacious and well-equipped with a great pool. It's also well constructed--we were visited by tropical storm Ernesto but "weathered" well. The house has an excellent generator that services the whole property. Austin, the property manager, was immediately response to any concerns and took good care of us. A particular highlight, and one of the reasons for our return, was the meals provided by Chef Juliana. We selected four ala carte dinners from her extensive menu which Austin derived in the evening. Unforgettable. You can go home again!

Ocean front paradise

Stephanie was absolutely amazing with the booking of the villa. All of my questions, concerns and issues were handled immediately and she was very kind, personable and accommodating. Austin was a great help when needed, very prompt and courteous (Selwyn too). We chose to drive to the villa on our own and it was easy to find. The first night a wonderful dinner was brought to us from Chef Julianna along with rum punch. The location was perfect, making a trip to any part of the island within a 15-30 minute drive. The view…..stunning!!! Our group of 3 couples had an amazing stay. The beds were comfortable, the villa was clean and spacious. The kitchen is FULLY stocked with anything you may need for making dinner and drinks. The balcony and downstairs veranda were our favorite places to be with plenty of seating to take in the gorgeous view and listen to the sound of the ocean. Also a perfect spot to catch the sunrises and sunsets. The pool is absolutely incredible and the landscaping is beautiful. Loved the small beach area in front of the villa. The shoreline has sandy areas with some rocks that made it an interesting adventure with so much to see. The water is shallow out front and can be navigated with water shoes. We saw live conch, tropical fish, crabs even a ray. There is a sandy beach just a short walk down the road and kayaking at Salt River is just a short drive. We would not hesitate to stay at Villa Santa Cruz again.
