About this property

Spacious and serene, Green Cay with Envy has an expansive open floor plan with 180° Caribbean Sea views. 4 bedrooms (2 with king sized beds and balcony doors facing the sea & 2 luxuriously furnished with queen sized beds) and 2 bathrooms. Fully equipped kitchen to cook family sized meals. Dining room seats 10 easily, and the great room is lovely & welcoming, with books & games for children and adults. Walk 3 minutes to a secluded neighborhood beach on prune bay or 5 min to a beach with restaurant/bar.

This lovely villa is deep cleaned before each guest and has a 3,000 square-feet open floor-plan with amazing 180-degree north-facing Caribbean Sea views, including Vieques, St. Thomas, St. John, British Virgin Islands and Buck Island. And yes! On a clear day you really will be able to see those islands without binoculars.

Located just a few minutes east of downtown Christiansted in the secluded, highly desirable neighborhood of Green Cay, "Green Cay With Envy" provides all the comforts of home with the added bonus of being just steps away from three spectacular St. Croix beaches; Prune Bay, Chenay Bay (home of the resort "Bungalows By The Bay"with kayaking, paddle boards & outdoor restaurant and bar) & Coakley Bay. You can walk to all of these!

From the back deck of Green Cay with Envy, enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sailboats head to Buck Island. You definitely want to take a boat tour and snorkel here! The patio extends the length of the house and faces the Caribbean Sea. Grab some fresh local fish to grill while watching boats sail by or enjoy a glass of wine while gazing at the stars.

Point Udall is located 7.5 miles east of Green Cay with Envy, and it's a sight not to be missed. A sundial known as the Millennium Monument was built above Point Udall for the New Year's celebration in 2000. Just before reaching the sundial, you'll find Jack and Isaac Bay Preserve - 300 acres of rolling hills skirted by white sand beaches, crystal waters and vibrant coral reefs. It's an unspoiled haven and one of the greatest treasures of the Virgin Islands. You can park and hike down to these amazing beaches. It may just be the closest experience you'll ever have to being on a deserted island - unspoiled beauty.

Christiansted is an 8-10 minute drive from the estate, and is the largest of the two towns located on the island. Sign up for a snorkel, parasailing or dive trip at one of the water sports locations, stroll along the boardwalk, or browse in the many eclectic boutiques and shops. The restaurants are quaint and usually offer open courtyard dining that feels very "old world". Don't worry - we'll provide a list of local favorites!

If you're looking for activity, the island has you covered. With the second largest barrier reef in the Caribbean, this place is a scuba divers dream! The dive sites are varied, and easy to access by boat and, in some cases, by shore. Nowhere else in the Caribbean can you dive a wreck, wall, pier and reef all in one day. You can even take all your course work online (about 5-10 hours total) and then do all of your in water work here in the Caribbean Sea! Feel free to ask us for advice on how to do this - our onsite manager often snorkels and scuba dives and is an experienced open water swimmer.

St Croix is 22.7 miles long and only 8 miles at its widest point. It's on the same latitude as Acapulco and Hawaii, and just below the Tropic of Cancer. It's an eternal summer here, with the average temperature in the mid-80s. We have snorkeling, scuba diving, hiking, bio-luminescent tours, kayaking, deep sea fishing, spear fishing, parasailing, horseback riding on the beach……

If you're in need of vitamin Sea, St. Croix and Green Cay with Envy have you covered. Island life is calling!

Perfect for a family vacation!

Our family spent a week in Tonya's beautiful home. It was spacious and well equipped for our group of six adults and two children ages 5 and 1. The Caribbean Sea views from the back deck are stunning. Quick walk to secluded calm beach, and also walkable to a beach bar with great drinks and delicious fish tacos, ceviche, chicken, etc, and a GORGEOUS beach. We spent nearly every day there. The house is convenient from the airport and Christiansted - great location. We did a sunset cruise and a Caribbean Night at Tamarind Reef with dinner, fire dancers, Caribbean Mocko Jumbie characters on stilts, and limbo contest for the kids. Great time and a very short drive from the house. We also visited the sundial and easternmost point in the US, and nature center. We were told that stargazing at the Sundial point is spectacular. The house has a great kitchen, and we had a pasta night and a pizza night there. Lots of room for the kids and for all of us to spread out in the living area. Stocked with toys/games, books, beach equipment including rolling coolers, floats, chairs, and umbrella, and washer/dryer in separate laundry room. Plenty of bath towels and beach towels. The house does not have a pool, which was a requirement for us because of the children. With the beautiful, clear, warm sea at your doorstep, you don't need one. We spent all of our water time at the beautiful beaches. We had a wonderful week in this beautiful home!

Green Cay Great Stay

The house was larger than we needed with just three adults but it is exactly as described and shown by the pictures. The house was comfortable and roomy with plenty of outdoor space as well. Tonya was available for any questions and helpful about places to eat and beach. We learned that even if the weather does not look great do it anyway, it is warm and if you’re going to the beach a little rain doesn’t make much difference. Great place to stay.

Gorgeous property! Extra clean and spacious

We loved our stay at Green Cay! Tonya was wonderful and so accommodating. I loved that she met us at the house to show us around and answer any questions that we had. She was available during the week if we had other questions too. The house was so clean and everyone had plenty of room to spread out and just chill. The location was perfect and the neighbors were pretty much non-existent, meaning that we felt like the only people on that street. No loud parties, no nosy neighbors, we could sit on the deck and relax and talk. It was a wonderful week in a beautiful house and I don't have one thing to complain about! Thank you, Tonya, for your hospitality!

Great week in St Croix

We love St. Croix and have made about a half dozen trips over the last several years. This trip was my Wife's 50th Birthday, so I was taking the whole family and needed a bigger rental home to accommodate everyone. Tonya's home was perfect and all four bedrooms were comfortable and two have amazing views of the ocean. Her home is extremely clean and spacious and the views of the ocean are spectacular. Drinking a morning coffee on the deck while looking out at the ocean and listening to the waves is a great way to start the day. I would highly recommend staying at her home! Mike

Perfect house for girls trip

The house was absolutely beautiful and perfect for our trip of 6 women. It was very clean, comfortable and spacious with amazing views. Tanya lives on site and was very helpful in suggestions and a ride to the airport for some of us leaving later than the rest. A car is a must to get to most beaches and town. There are a few swimmable beaches within walking distance depending on the surf but recommend Bungalows on the Bay beach which has chairs, a beach bar and a swimming area. We highly recommend this house for your stay!

Green Cay is the place to stay!

My family and I couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay. The home was very accessible for my mother who is in a wheelchair as everything was on one level. The view was amazing and being able to hear the ocean at night could not be beat. There was plenty of space to gather and we were very comfortable with a group of six. Tonya was an outstanding host was always available if we needed anything. There was a guide she had put together that had several beach and restaurant recommendations that we took advantage of. I will definitely stay here for any future visits!

Soak up some more of that Caribbean sun!

The home was beautiful with exceptional Ocean views. My daughter, son-in-law and our two grandchildren shared the home for a week with my wife and me. Our family was visiting the island for our other daughters’ wedding and could not have selected a better place to stay. John, the caretaker was very friendly and easy to communicate with. If you are looking for a beautiful four bedroom home on Saint Croix, we highly recommend staying at this beautiful residence, of course that is unless it is going to be during one of the weeks when we all want to return to soak up some more of that Caribbean sun!

Heaven on earth!

There are just not enough words to say how much we loved our experience with not only this property, but John! My husband and I along with another couple just got back from our amazing 8 days at this beautiful property. My husband and I own a few vacation properties, so our expectations of cleanliness and property management are pretty high. I can say if you pick this property you will NOT be disappointed in any way! John was always extremely quick to answer any questions and was very organized and prepared with instructions for everything. He met us at the property when we first got there and showed us around and told us about all the great spots. He put together a fantastic book filled with all the things you should know about the house and site seeing in the area. He directed us to one of the best boat days we've had in the Caribbean, told us about all the best beaches and had a list of some amazing restaurants. He instructed us ahead of time of all the restaurants we needed reservations at and Im glad he did. The house......oh the HOUSE! We arrived to awesome music welcoming us. When the beautiful wooden doors opened I couldn't help but gasp at the amazing site! Pictures don't do this house justice. Its spacious and beautifully decorated. Every morning was spend looking out at the beautiful ocean views and every night was spend listening as the waves lulled you to sleep. The kitchen was stocked with anything and everything you could need. Everything was impeccably spotless. The beds were cozy and the linens were luxurious. Every thought was put into making sure you have all the comforts of home. We all had an amazing time and won't stay anywhere else when we return. I promise this house and its manager will put a huge smile on your face and your heart. Our only regret was we couldn't stay longer or take John with us to run our properties. Thanks for being our favorite host John. You and your house were amazing! Till next time....

Wonderful stay; the house is beautiful, well stocked, in a great location and perfect for a family.

The house is beautiful. It has a very roomy open concept and the doors open to the seaside letting in beautiful views and the wonderful breeze. The kitchen is very well stocked with appliances, dishes and utensils. All were in great condition. The house was very clean and well maintained. It is in a good neighborhood and within easy driving distance to all beaches, restaurants and markets. The property manager John resides on the property (very unobtrusively) and is very responsive to text queries. There are 4 bedrooms, 2 on either side of the common living space with one shared bathroom on each side between the 2 bedrooms. We were a family of six with 2 singles and 2 couples. The 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms worked fine for us. The dining room table seats 10 so we had plenty of room. John met us at the house when we arrived, communication with him was consistently excellent. He showed us around, explained the hows and whys and had a book prepared to refer to. We had a wonderful stay in St Croix; this property is excellent and was a definite plus. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Five Days Living in a Caribbean Jewel

My group of four had a wonderful time at Green Can with Envy. Each interaction with John, from booking the property through arrival was professional, courteous and organized. He provided us with guidance on rental car companies, restaurants and the general area prior to our arrival. The check-in process was quick and efficient. The house was immaculate and looked even better than the pictures. The kitchen was well equipped with mosts of the items that you would need to create a meal. The views of the sea were breathtaking. The only issue that caught us off guard were the food prices in the area. Grocery store prices were considerably higher than the main land. I would highly recommend Green Can with Envy as a home away from home in St. Croix.

About the host

Hosted by Tonya DiNofrio

I love being outside and in nature. Gardening, cycling or hiking the hills of St Croix, snorkeling or scuba diving through schools of colorful fish and coral or just open water swimming - I am constantly in awe of the beauty this island has to offer. My goal is help you plan your days (if you would like) so that you too can experience this beauty and then relax and recharge at a well kept/clean house afterwards.

Why they chose this property

This lovely, safe, friendly neighborhood is one that’s highly sought after on the island. We all look out for each other and know that a helping hand is only a door away. In addition to having this strong community, we can walk 3/10 of a mile to Green Cay Beach. From there you can walk a half mile in one direction with Buck Island looming large on your left side. You can also walk to chenay bay where you’ll find a small local resort with cottages and restaurant/bar. The house is exactly 7.5 miles from Point Udall, the easternmost point of the US. You’ll want to make this stunning drive just to witness the raw beauty of St Croix’s rocky cliffs and green rolling hills. 10 minutes of driving the opposite direction puts you in Christiansted where you’ll find shopping and impressive local restaurants. Green Cay With Envy is situated perfectly to enjoy the rugged beauty of the island and yet close enough to the old world charm of Christiansted for shopping and dining.

What makes this property unique

Green Cay With Envy has an elegance that you’ll notice right as you walk through the double front doors. The amazing Caribbean Sea views from the open floor plan great room will take your breath away. This room has several sets of sliding glass doors and many large windows to maximize the water views. You may want to stay inside all day but you shouldn’t. There's so much to explore, whether in a car or on foot, that you will never be bored!
