By far, the best VRBO experience to date! From the moment that we made our reservation, everything went like clockwork. We received communication from the property manager Stephanie, confirming our stay. A few days before we were to arrive, Stephanie texted to remind us about the USVI Covid regulations and the required test. She later checked to see that everything was completed and we were excited about our trip. Arrangments were made to text when we arrived at the airport in St. Croix.
Our flight arrived on time but we were surprised at the airport by our son who lives on St. Croix. This delayed our arrival at the property and Stephanie texted to make sure that everything was ok. We made arrangements to meet her and she was ready and waiting to let us onto the property. She was warm and welcoming and very informative. We arrived at the condo and she showed us around, gave us information about the area and took care of every need. She was delightful to work with and very professional.
The condo was exactly as pictured and in perfect condition. The listing stated that there were beach chairs and a few amenities but that was an understatement. There were beach chairs, a cooler, beach towels, boogie boards, a handy backpack for taking items to the beach and everything that you could want for a beach vacation. It also stated that there would be amenities like shampoo etc. Again, an understatement. There was sunscreen, shampoo and conditioner, toiletries, a hairdryer and most importantly, laundry detergent. We only did one load of laundry while we were there but really appreciated that we didn't have to go buy a big bottle just to wash a few things.
The property is pretty far out on the East End of the island but we loved that. It was very private, quiet and gorgeous. The view from the condo was looking out to the reef and you could see Buck Island. The beach area next to Duggans Reef (great food and staff) had beach chairs, hammocks and plenty of sun or shade. There was a lot of wind and we saw a few windsurfers. It was a short distance to Point Udall and a 15 minute drive to Christiansted.
Outside, there were two wonderful patio areas, one for grilling and one that offered a beautiful view of the complex, the hills, the golf course, and the water. The kitchen was well equipped. The internet and tv were great. The highlight of the condo is the incredibly comfortable bed in the loft.
