This property was ideal for our 2 week vacation. We LOVE the North Shore and west end for the hills and rainforest. We rented a car so we could tour the island, you could get a taxi if you wanted to go somewhere, but if you are one who likes to stay in and relax, this is perfect. You can sit on the balcony and listen to the waves crash against the shore, or sit by the pool and enjoy the view of the ocean as well. The kitchen had everything we needed to be able to eat in (except for an oven), and we were able to use the gas grill located on the property; however, if you wanted to eat out, there are choices within walking distance. And being able to do laundry while we were there was nice so we could pack lighter. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star overall rating is because the unit does not have cable TV or Satellite service. There is a Roku TV, so if you have subscriptions to streaming services, you can easily connect to them, and the sofa, although comfortable, was a little small if you are the type that like to cuddle up together to watch a movie. BUT seriously, don't come to St. Croix to stay inside and watch TV - get out and explore its beauty. We have been to STX 4 times and still haven't seen all of the sights we want to see. We would definitely stay here again. And the host was always quick to respond to any questions we had, she is a great host.
