About this property

OCEANFRONT - Walk to Cane Bay beach, bars and restaurants!

Welcome to Just Add Rum! (Formerly known as Paradise at Cane Bay.)

This beautiful 2 bedroom/2 bath St Croix condo is part of SeaClusion, a gated condo complex located on the north shore of the island and is one of only nine units in this complex. Just Add Rum offers an amazing oceanfront location with spacious accommodations for up to six guests including two private bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It has an air-conditioning unit in every room. The complex also offers a community pool, gas grills, free laundry facilities and off-street parking for guests.

Everything about Just Add Rum was specifically chosen with your comfort and relaxation in mind. Cozy and stylish furnishings with contemporary artistic touches throughout make you feel right at home in this tropical location. Vaulted ceilings make our home feel even more spacious.

The bedrooms are well-appointed with memory foam mattresses, soft linens, light filtering roman shades, televisions and ample closet space for tucking away your belongings. Both bathrooms feature travertine walk-in showers, glass vessel sinks and plenty of soft, fluffy towels. The water system is fully filtered and safe to drink. Please keep in mind, we are on an island and water pressure and temperature can vary.

Relax at the breakfast bar in the fully equipped kitchen, stocked with plenty of cookware, utensils, stemware, a dishwasher, oven, microwave, toaster, blender and coffee maker.

The main living area adjacent to the deck features a large dining area and a comfortable family room with seating for six and a 55 inch high-def TV. The entertainment center houses a Blu-ray player along with movies and games.

The 225 square foot covered deck features Polywood eco-conscious furniture to create both a sitting and dining area and boasts stunning views of the water, Hams Bluff and on clear days St Thomas and the BVI's. And if you’re out there at night enjoying a cold beverage, you can often see the car headlights over on St Thomas!

Just Add Rum is also family-friendly! There is a pack-n-play and booster high chair available along with a full set of children’s dinnerware.

Don’t worry if you’re not quite ready to unplug completely, Just Add Rum offers high-speed wireless internet.

Once you’re ready to head out and explore you can take advantage of the beach chairs, beach towels and portable cooler provided for your use. There is no shortage of places to explore!

Just Add Rum is just minutes from Cane Bay beach and one of the world’s most desirable dive locations, the Cane Bay Wall. There are several restaurants right within walking distance. Make sure you try AMA Cane Bay for a nice meal, bingo at Off The Wall and the burgers at The Landing Beach Bar.

Christiansted, the island’s main town, is just a short scenic drive to the east and Frederiksted is a short drive to the west.

While there is no direct water access from Just Add Rum, Cane Bay beach is just a short walk away or you can enjoy the ocean view right from the pool!

We offer length of stay discount (7 nights or more) and a special discount for our return guests (please contact me for the discount).

A month in St. Croix

We stayed for a month at Just Add Rum, and it had all the comforts home, with the added benefit of being walking distance to great diving at Sweet Bottom at Cane Bay and all the restaurants. It was easy driving distance to a bunch of other dive sites. Having AC unit in every room was such a relief from the heat and humidity. The view of the palm trees and ocean from the family room and balcony was specular. The kitchen was fully stocked, which made it easy to prepare meals. Multiple laundry rooms in the facility was very convenient for longer stays. Can't wait to come back again!

Fantastic property and "awesome the awesome" hosts

This property is great, stylish and cozy. The location is extremely convenient, very close to one of the best beaches (Cane Bay) and the view to the ocean is to die for. The hosts, Julia and Shannon are very responsive, thoughtful with great taste in interior and overall awesome people. We were 300% happy and were sad to leave this paradise. We are definitely planning to return next year!

Amazing waves, great location & comfy beds

Super clean condo. Lots of outlets and cords supplied to plug in all of your devices. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Nice towels and linens. Beds and pillows are comfy. We’re going to miss the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks. Great location with lots of local restaurants nearby. Don’t miss out on the food truck for breakfast. It’s delicious. Would definitely stay here again 👍👍

AMAZING!

We loved our stay at this north shore condo! So clean and welcoming, and the view is incredible. We didn't have any issues! The location is perfect (we still recommend a car so you can explore the island), but we love being able to at least walk to about 4 beach bars, and our favorite beach - Cane Bay! Hosts were super easy to communicate with, and we had everything we needed for our stay! We will be back!

Fabulous Views in a Beautiful Location

This is one of the most beautiful places we have stayed! The balcony was our favorite place to start and end our days. This trip was to celebrate my 50th birthday and it will be one I will never forget! I appreciated the birthday card and my bottle of rum! It was very thoughtful! The owners have thought of everything to ensure a terrific experience for guests. They were helpful in our planning too! Their advice on what to see and do definitely made this trip even better! You can tell they love their home and now so do we! The location is outstanding! You are midway between both towns and then can retreat back here for peace & quiet! Honestly, you don’t really need to leave the area! The Landing and AMA (plus the food truck!) is all within walking distance! The beach too! If we come back, we absolutely stay here again!!

When you’re looking for a peaceful place and then it becomes magical!

My husband and I needed a place to go away and be at peace. Cane Bay in the North Shore at SEACLUSION was such an unexpected magical place! Just Add Rum was perfection. What a wonderful, comforting and enjoyable stay. Everything you need is there. The quality of the beds, comforters, towels were high end. It all guaranteed one good sleep after another. The location was amazing to so many restaurants and bars. We even played bingo and attended a live amazing concert in our first two days! The condo is flourishing with incredible artwork. The space is huge for two people and can fit so many more. The water views are heavenly! It was also wonderful to have a pool and laundry room. Also, we were offered grocery shopping beforehand which gave us so much more time to enjoy this island. This was our first visit to St. Croix and we rented a Jeep and drove all over the island stopping at so many beaches swimming with fish and sea turtles. Definitely snorkel at Buck Island! We cannot wait to get back here!

Better in Person- Ocean Paradise

This was our 1st trip to St. Croix and we couldn't be more happy with our choice to stay at Just Add Rum. The condo was more beautiful and spacious in person and we loved having use the all the beach and snorkeling equipment. The location was also perfect; a quick walk to 3 great restaurants bar options and Cane Bay for snorkeling, swimming and sunning, although our families favorite place was the deck. We are hoping our paths take us back to Just Add Rum.

Absolutely the BEST!

This condo is simply amazing. The back wall is comprised of two sets of large sliding glass doors so you can enjoy the view while inside or step out onto the lanai & revel in the stunning ocean view. The location is perfect. It's a short walk down the hill to bars, restaurants and Cane Bay which is our all time favorite scuba site. The owners were great & the property managers were welcoming, super friendly & helpful. We will definitely be booking again and again and again. This condo is absolute perfection!

This property has it all: Location, pool, clean, modern, good WiFi, friendly hosts. It was well stocked too! Seriously, you couldn’t ask for more. The balcony was the GOAT though. Ah…I missed it as soon as we shut the door as we were leaving. Every morning was spent drinking coffee watching the mesmerizing ocean. Every night was spent listening to the crashing waves. Our grandson loved spending time in the pool and hunting for hermit crabs. Thank you for having us…we appreciate you sharing your place!!

Paradise

Julia and Shannon deserve the highest possible rating for their comfortable, well-appointed condo and prompt replies to my many questions! A bottle of rum awaited us, all of their recommendations were spot on (just wish we had more time to visit ALL of the beaches), the views and sound of waves rolling in were a-MA-zing, and we had everything we could have possibly ever needed. Cane Bay has a chill vibe and everyone we met on the island was super helpful and friendly. In hindsight, we probably would have booked dives from there instead of driving to Christiansted or Fredericksted each day, but that was our decision. Don't hesitate - book now!

Missing the sound of waves already

Awesome condo, updated nicely, spacious and supplied with many amenities. Shannon has done outstanding job providing us with everything we needed. Lanai was our favorite for starring at the blue sea, listening to the waves and enjoying sunsets. Enjoyed our evening trips to pool. Local beaches at Cane Bay and west side at Rhythms were perfect. Great beach bars and grills at The Landing and Off the Wall were a short walk. They were fun and we meet many friendly locals. We definitely would like to return and highly recommend the Just Add Rum condo. Thanks for sharing Shannon.

About the host

Hosted by Julia and Shannon Manns

Host profile image
Native Californians land-locked in Texas for careers in aviation, we were always drawn to the Caribbean. After several trips to St. Croix, we realized this was where our hearts belonged.

Why they chose this property

We had explored all over the island during our many trips, and when we stayed at SeaClusion on the north side, we knew we had found our "home." As luck would have it, the unit we fell in love with, went on the market and we jumped at the chance to own a piece of "the rock."

What makes this property unique

Just Add Rum is paradise. It offers all the comforts of home but in a gorgeous, tropical setting! There is nothing quite like relaxing on the deck with the sound of the waves crashing and the ocean breeze in your face, plus, the sunsets are stunning!

Just Add Rum is walking distance to Cane Bay beach and one of the world’s most desirable dive locations, the Cane Bay Wall. Sweet Bottom Dive Center is just up the road and can help you with all things scuba. They also rent snorkel gear. The beach is great for snorkeling as well. There are several restaurants within walking distance. Make sure you try AMA (next door) for a nice seafood meal, bingo at Off The Wall and the burgers at The Landing Beach Bar.
