About this property

Luxurious Oceanfront Honeymoon Cottage - as seen on HGTV - Gated Subdivision

This 1B/1B oceanfront cottage with a full kitchen sits in a gated community on St. Croix's north shore. Sit and watch the surfers, windsurfers, kite surfers, turtles, whales, kayakers, and pelicans cruise through the water from the cottage deck or walk the 25 yards down to the beach for an even closer look. You may even run into a 500 pound turtle making a nest. Walk/run/bike the 9 miles of private roads within the safe gated community. Great central location for exploring all that St. Croix has to offer. 4 miles to downtown Christiansted.

The property was shown on an episode of HGTV's House Hunter's International (Caribbean Quandary). Check it out at the end of the show.

St. Croix is the largest of the US Virgin Islands, but it remains a well-kept secret in comparison to St. Thomas and St. John. St. Croix is much quieter and more laid-back. The island offers water sports in abundance, such as scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, sailing, kayaking, surfing, and kite-surfing, with numerous beaches to explore. St. Croix has two small towns (Christiansted and Frederiksted) that have duty-free shopping and historic architecture. St. Croix offers something for everyone. Come relax on this wonderful island. No passports needed for US citizens.

St. Croix isn't just the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, but it also boasts the Caribbean's largest living reef. And it is the only spot in the region where you can dive a wall that drops more than 13,000 feet.

Two guests maximum and no children. No smoking.

Beautiful place, wonderful hosts
Our stay at the cottage in Judith’s Fancy was nothing short of amazing! The property is tucked away in a tranquil, gated community, providing a perfect blend of privacy and security. The cottage itself was beautifully designed, clean, and well-equipped with all the amenities we could ask for.We especially loved the outdoor patio, where we could sip our morning coffee. The views were breathtaking—just a short walk to the ocean, with gentle breezes and the sound of waves to complete the experience.The location was ideal: close enough to explore the island’s highlights, yet far enough to feel like a true getaway. Whether it was visiting nearby beaches, sampling local restaurants, or taking in the vibrant culture of St. Croix, everything was conveniently accessible.The hosts were responsive and went out of their way to ensure we had a comfortable stay. We can’t recommend this cottage enough for anyone looking for a peaceful escape in St. Croix.

I am extremely happy to have chosen this location for my trip to STX. The Owners Chad and Emily were excellent and extremely hospitable throughout my stay. The unit was very well decorated, clean, and was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location was excellent for accessing all parts of the island and the neighborhood was gated and felt very safe. I would highly recommend this property for those looking for the perfect vacation rental on STX.

Happy Cruxan Christmas
My stay in the cottage with my BFF was perfect for our impromptu trip to St. Croix. We didn't do much research or planning for this trip; however, the cottage had absolutely everything we needed plus some. It is equipped for any kind of vacation you are looking for and in the best location to explore the island. The hosts were lovely, as well, welcoming, great communicators, flexible, and resourceful. My favorite parts of the cottage were my morning walks around the picturesque neighborhood ending on the beach, listening to the ocean and the night sky. My friend enjoyed her morning coffees and yoga on the porch. We have no complaints. Thank you!!

Great hosts and super cute spot with everything you need!
I really loved this place! I was greeted personally by the hosts. They were super cool and also had some homemade cookies for me, which were so delish and great timing after a full day of travel. I was super impressed also by the fact that they genuinely thought of everything. I mean, from condiments to quality shampoo and hygienes (mine was confiscated at the airport), to bug spray, sun screen, aloe Vera, yoga mats, beach chairs and everything you would need at the beach, etc. It wasn’t like your standard Vrbo that’s usually completely empty with just the bare necessities. There was a sheet inside with all of the places to eat and see along with personal recommendations. Communication was great and I could text for anything I needed. All in all, phenomenal experience. I will be back!!!! 🌍👌

What a view!
You couldn’t get closer to the ocean if you tried! You look out the front porch and it’s right there with two great chairs to just sit in and listen and watch the waves! Chad and Emily were so kind and hospitable and greeted us and took time to chat and answer island questions that we had. The place was in a nice safe and gated neighborhood. It was well equipped and comfortable and clean! Would definitely recommend it for a base point to drive around and tour the island - it’s a great location in the center where you can get anywhere conveniently! Can’t recommend it enough!

Just Married - 30 years ago
The Honeymoon Cottage was THE perfect place to explore St. Croix for our 30th Wedding Anniversary! Emily and Chad were very quick to respond to any questions we had. Emily made us these exquisitely decorated cookies for our anniversary that were delicious. The cottage itself is well equipped with everything you might need. I really appreciated the beach towels, chairs, cooler, and snorkel gear that was available for use. We would pack the cooler for the day and head out to discover the island. There are so many things to explore on St. Croix! You also don't have to go anywhere and just enjoy the beautiful beach at the cottage as well. 10/10 visit St. Croix and stay at the Honeymoon Cottage!

About the host

Hosted by Chad Walter

Host profile image
Chad and Emily moved to St. Croix in 2008. They proceeded to build their dream home on the beach in 2011, finishing in 2012. They decided to build a separate cottage to rent out to couples looking for something different, something more private than what is offered at hotels.

Why they chose this property

The location of this property is on the beach in the gated community of Judith's Fancy. The neighborhood has 9 miles of roads to walk and run all while looking out at the turquoise water. The property is situated mid-island, so you are a short drive to anything you want to explore in St. Croix. We are located approximately 4 miles west of Christiansted.

What makes this property unique

Beachfront. Gated subdivision with 24-hour security. 15-foot ceilings. Great neighborhood for walking and running and it backs up to national park land.
