SARGASSO Update: The Caribbean Sea has been experiencing higher volumes of Sargasso sea grass in recent years. This sea grass can wash up and pile on the beach and create an unpleasant smell as it decays. It is most prevalent on the North and East side of the island. In large amounts it prevents enjoyable use of our beach. The west end of the island has beautiful beaches that are almost always sea grass free. The Sargasso grass is most prevalent during the hotter months of late July - September. This condition is unpredictable on a week to week basis and something that is totally out of our control. As a result, unfortunately our current policy must be that we cannot issue refunds as a result of Sargasso.

Property needs updating in both bathrooms and kitchen, bathroom faucets are sad. Light on tableware and silverware. New furniture is great, very comfortable. Maybe a one step for the master bed. Quite a leap for old short people. W-40 for the sliders.

The property was great! All the needed amenities, and some extras were available. Beds are very comfortable and the entire property was clean and easy to access. Everything in the condo exceeded our expectations.
Seaweed invasion on that side of the island is not ideal but not able to be controlled and certainly didn’t stop us from enjoying the island. Thank you!!

Dive trip
We stayed here for a dive trip - it was pretty much centrally located to all dives so that was nice - a 15 minute drive to each spot. We rented a car which is 100% necessary for staying at this property as it is not a walkable location— you will have to drive to grocery, restaurants and bars —but we knew that when booking. No big deal for us. 1 minute drive to the grocery store and downtown less than ten minute drive with shops and so much good food! WiFi worked great and I was even able to do some work while there. There was a ton of seaweed at the beach at the property while there, so not able to swim there at all - but of course that isn’t the property owners fault. A quiet location and I slept like a rock with the ice cold AC. There was some snorkeling gear and plenty of extra beach towels.

Dated, but doable
The check in prices was great and the manager was responsive and timely to all emails. The condo was a good size. but dated. It was clean enough and stocked with beginning supplies. The kitchen leaves a lot to be desired. We were the for 2 weeks and the kitchen wares were lacking. The pots & pans.... very few and the skillet needed to go in trash. There was no plastic container/ dishware to take to the pool or beach. The master slider didn't open, nor did most of the windows in the unit. The slider screens in the living room were useless since they were torn off the slider frame. We made do, but the unit could use some love and the kitchen goven thought. It was quite apparent to me this owner does not spend any time in this condo. it is only an income unit with little investment. For the price i expected a little more. We made do, but it was not a unit to brag about.

First experience in Saint Croix!
This was the first time visiting. The property was so clean and well maintained. I loved the condo and it was literally right on the beach, with a pool. It was in the center of every place we wanted to visit. The employees were so nice and helpful as well as the residents. I loved Colony Cove and hope they will have me back, I enjoyed myself so much I am coming back with my family. I can't stop thinking about how much fun we had. Thank you for such a wonderful, place that felt like home.❤

Great location, great host
We loved our stay! We had a group of 8 people spread between 3 condos. The pool was a nice hang spot for our lazy days. The snorkeling at the beach behind the condo was one of the best spots on the island! The tire reef had lots of fish- and I saw a sea turtle when I swam a bit further out!
Two tasty restaurants located in walking distance- we loved them both so much we went to each multiple times.
Earl was a great host- he addressed a wifi issue promptly and effectively, and gave us lots of great tips for the island. Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful and much needed
The condo was great, it had a great location (<10 to Christianstead) plenty of space and was very clean. There were towels to use as well as beach/pool toys and snorkel gear. The beds were comfortable, as was all the seating. Earl was so helpful when we couldn’t get the Wi-Fi to work (user error) and even stopped by during our stay to make sure everything was working well! We will definitely be back!

Beautifully island, lots of places to explore, many remote beaches, plenty of restaurants, beach bars, overall fun experience, have been to Saint Croix 6 times now, love the island.
Unfortunately the sargassum seagrass was plentiful on the beach, creating a rotten egg smell, not able to enjoy the beach or pool, but traveled to many other beaches & there was none.
A bartender told me about life on island: “go to store for Raisin Bran & leave with Cheerios “
It’s not for everyone but the island has a great charm about it, but realize island time is a real thing.
Still love Saint Croix, still had a positive experience, will be back.

My vacation crew were robbed inside the pool at gun point at colony cove a guy hopped the pool gate and robbed us at gunpoint and took what’s really we had. Police didn’t do anything as if this type of thing is normal plus we found out the colony cove is located next to a housing projects.

We liked the convenient location to downtown Christiansted. The 2bdr, 2 bath unit was spacious with a large patio. The sofas were comfortable for relaxing after a busy day. The property Manager, Earl, was very responsive & helpful. He was knowledgeable about the area. There was seaweed on the beach during our stay. It did have a bad smell and you really could not use the beach. This impacted several beaches in the area. This is beyond anyone's control. We were able to go to other beaches and see more of the island. We had a great stay.

The stay was pleasant as we had daily Excursions planned, the master bedroom ac had to be fixed and dint get replaced till our 5th day. Somewhat disappointing since me and my husband had to sleep on the couch and he in a chair. There was alot of brown surfside stargassum, which had rotted so the smell was unbearable outside and coming thru the ac in living room. The plug in scattered thru the home weren't enough. Note to any other renters, go to opposite side of island during June and July. We had a good experience and would rent again, yet not in those months. Much upgrading is needed with pot and pans, utensils, towel hangers.

Wonderful Vacation!
Great condo! The location was perfect. Convenient to everything. Only a few minutes to Christiansted, convenient to grocery stores, wonderful beach 5 minutes away. Condo had everything you need. Well appointed kitchen, snorkel sets, beach towels, chairs, not to mention the most comfortable living room furniture. We enjoyed our coffee on the veranda every morning and drinks after dinner in the evening. Easy check-in! Thanks for such a wonderful week. Will definitely rent again. Highly recommend!

This condo has everything you need for an island experience. The north shore was a bit rocky but nice place to catch ocean breezes and a nap. Swimming pool was clean but the property could use some TLC. We used the condo to sleep and cook breakfast and do some laundry. The kitchen has the essentials and lots of spices. There are plenty of beach towels. Some items could use an upgrade like the sports chairs, and the need for a hard sided cooler. I recommend ordering groceries online, and when you arrive just swing by and pick up before check in. Enjoy St. Croix!!

Quiet and secure location
Our family had a wonderful time. It was nice to walk out to water and snorkel or fish. Seaweed on beach this time of year makes wading in water not so great but didn’t stop our fun. Appreciated snorkel gear and back porch to relax on. Pool was kept very clean.

The unit was great, it had everything we needed for our stay. We would have like to stay longer but we needed a bigger place. Earl was fantastic. I could say he went out of his way to get us started. I’ll be back.
Thanks Earl.

We were happy with just about everything. Since we arrived late at night in the dark, the directions were not quite right as we went right after going straight through the security gate and we walked around for a while looking for the correct building and number.
We did quite a bit of driving around the island and for anyone who hasn't been to St. Croix before, a car is essential to getting around. This condo's location is close to some restaurants, so it would be possible to enjoy a stay without a car, but your experience of the island would be limited.
We needed to move the glass top table, which had a table covering and so we didn't realize the top was not attached to the base and we nearly damaged it. It would be best to have place mats rather than the covering.
One of the sets of snorkling equipment leaks rendering it unusable.
We heard from our children who live on the island that the water in the sea near the condo was not recommended for swimming, so we only went into the surf in other locations.
We did use the pool which was very pleasant and cooked on the grill near the pool one night.
We would definitely return to this location in the future.

I have stayed at several properties on ST Croix while building my own house This area is a nice area to stay on the North end. The Condo is clean and on the first floor( a plus). The pool is nice and the Sea is Blue. Not to much of a Sea view, but very nice garden view. Also has very large Televisions and a washer/ dryer in the unit. A very important feature when staying in a condo. ( no $3.00 wash and $2.00 dry)
