Serene perch, great location

This is a great spot. Out on the East End with nice breezes, and a view of the yacht club and beyond. Very comfortable and well-appointed. And the hosts are friendly and quick to help. I'll be back!

Excellent stay in every way

Sarah and GB were extremely helpful. When our car rental fell apart because our flight was delayed due, Sarah helped us find a replacement car, which was not easy, and then the next day drove us 40 minutes to go get the car. Also extremely helpful in providing information about our stay and places to go. Thank you again Sarah and GB

Excellent stay!

Sarah and GB’s place was very accommodating for our one week stay! Sarah and GB were very welcoming and helpful even before we got there! They offered helpful tips to enjoy the island and even provided us with snorkel gear. The description of their place was accurate and informative. Their instructions were clear and helpful. Definitely would recommend staying with them!

Quiet, little place close to everything, but off the main road. You definitely need a car. We were fortunate to have family on the island familiar with the area, but the homeowners were able and willing to share any info/help we needed. Great week!!

A STAY TRULY IN PARADISE

Let me start by saying the awesome pictures you see in the ad are truly breath taking in person. Everything was on point. The hosts were very friendly and amicable. The property was fully equipped with essentially everything one may need on a stay on this beautiful island. We felt safe and our hosts were warm & inviting. And one of the most important things we look for when traveling. The property was CLEAN. we luved it! We will definitely stay there again...and again..

Excellent - Highly Recommend!

Our stay at the property was phenomenal: great location, helpful and pleasant hosts, clean and private space, air conditioning for sleeping, and a full kitchen. They also provided beach chairs, towels, and coolers to take our beach experience to the next level! Sarah and GB made everything easy and we're helpful in re-scheduling our stay after an itenerary change. When we find ourselves back in St Croix, we'll be looking to rebook!

Sarah and GB's place

The view was amazing. Sarah and GB greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the place, which was very nice. Both of them offered assistance as to where to eat, buy groceries, etc which saved us time trying to figure it out. They were helpful but unobtrusive. We had dinner every night sitting at the outside table that was there for our use, watching the sailboats. It is very quiet which added to our enjoyment.

Most awesome place!

Wow, Sarah and GB are super awesome hosts. Their place is perfectly located up on a breezy hill overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The apartment was immaculate and so comfortable with every thing you need. Sarah is in contact with you before you arrive. Easy to find. Lots of quiet roads to get some early morning walking on. Close to lots of beaches on the East end of the island. I loved traveling back to the apartment at the end of everyday of exploring St. Croix. It's like going back to your special little hide away from the bustle of the rest of the island. The early morning sun shines right on to your private patio. A great place to get away to and in wind.

Wonderful quiet and peaceful retreat with a beautiful ocean view.

The place is small, but nicely appointed. Very cozy and comfortable and has everything that a couple might need for a pleasant stay on the island of St. Croix. If you enjoy making your own breakfast/coffee (like us) then you will surely appreciate the table on the patio providing an awesome view of the ocean to the north. Also very helpful for daily planning since an overview of the ocean gives you a much better idea of current conditions than any forecast. Sara and GB are excellent hosts, not intruding in any way but readily available if you need them for advice or anything else. We enjoyed our stay there and definitely recommend this place to someone who will enjoy a peaceful and quite time away from the busy touristy areas of the island. Kirsten and Petko from Chicago.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Bucknell

We bought the lot where our home and guest cottage sit in 2006. We were sailing the world on our 44' sailboat and in Thailand. In 2011 we sailed into Christiansted Harbor and put the boat on the market, it sold and we built the house! It took 10 months, we have lived here since August of 2012, when the house was brand new. We love it!! We would love to talk to you about your visit, send us an email and we can set up a time for a chat.

Why they chose this property

We love the view from our home and it's proximity to beaches, the yacht club and nice restaurants. We had been coming to St. Croix since 1997 on our sailboat and knew we would live here one day after our boating life adventure.

What makes this property unique

Fun for birdwatchers, our property is located on a skinny part of the island, it is a great joy to watch the many Pelicans and Frigate Birds flying over head to get to the other side. We see many hawks hunting in the valley just below us. We can hear the ocean and feel the sea breeze in our beautiful spot.
