We stayed for a week to get away from the cold in upstate NY. The house is located on a beautiful, secluded beach. We enjoyed just hanging out on the property. The kids had a blast in the pool. One of the best parts was watching the young sea turtles bob up in the morning while feeding just off shore. It was an amazing week.

Our group of 12 absolutely loved this property! All couples had their own bedroom with private bath. It was perfect! The house is huge with so many sitting areas, giving us privacy for small conversations or the big group. Pool was great, but it was a little too chilly this time of year. However, easy access to our beach was the highlight, along with a covered sitting area for those wanting out of the sun. Property manager recommended shopping places for groceries and restaurants. Can’t wait to go back again!!

There are a few special places in the world. This is one of them. It has the only private beach on the island with an incredible estate. It was perfect for our extended family. My dad spent every day just sitting on the beach under a picturesque shelter nibbling on sea grapes when he wasn't hunting coconuts and mangoes from the trees. Our kids - two 11 year old boys - spent their days in the pool, afternoons playing chess and their nights kayaking the nearby bioluminescent Bay. Our teenager appreciated the wifi and occasionally stepped outside to do Tiktok posts (I think) on this amazing place when we weren't snorkeling nearby beaches. Grandma spent her days idling under the covered porch, appreciating the views while reading her book and working on puzzles. Our good friend, appreciated the cozy fully equipped guest house by the pool. As for us...this was a memorable holiday. We had room for everyone to be comfortable and happy. We loved the nostalgic and tasteful decor and would love to come back again. The estate is managed by a competent, capable and kind couple who helped us checkin and get settled. Thr property managers worked with us to coordinate chefs and equipment and answer questions. We loved them all.

We had a family of 12 with 3 generations (4 people in each generation) ranging in age from 5 to 67. This property was big and open enough that we were never crowded or in each other's way. Lovely pool and beach area. 2 refrigerators in the kitchen was very helpful. We didn't use the round house since it was up steep wooden stairs and had no AC. Pool house was perfect for one family that wanted more privacy.

Five couples shared a week at this property. The house, the beach and the pool were all wonderful - just as nice as the pictures made them look. Lots of room for us to gather or spread out. Having a caretaker on the property was a plus. The kitchen and dining room (oh that table!) served us well. There were a few maintenance issues in the house that could have used attention (noisy bathroom fans, hard to open vents in the pool house, light bulbs out) but we all loved the property.

We came here for our honeymoon, first of all Yolanda the care taker was kind enough to pick us up from the airport when our flight came in late, she also drove us to pick up our rental car the next day. She was so warm and welcoming! We were totally blown away by the property, a literal paradise! The house is huge and has tons of CHARACTER! Not some boring cookie cutter house. We loved spending time on the private beach, plenty of seashells for the picking. We spent a lot of time at the pool too - so large and has a deep end! Most of our time was spent at the property as there is plenty to see and do. They even have kayaks for you to use! It was the perfect honeymoon, worth every penny. We can’t wait to return one day!

We had an amazing time during our stay. Pam was super helpful, adding some extra comforts for my FIL. For the summer the 2 bedrooms that are detached from the main house were a little too hot, but everything worked out for our party. We are already trying to figure out when we can go again.

We had an amazing week stay with our own private beach and beautiful grounds. The house is large with plenty of privacy, but in need of some updates (mattresses) for an even better experience. We Would definitely stay here again, and it would be a great location for a family get together as all ages would enjoy their stay! Show more

Our family made beautiful memories in Galen’s Cove. The home is majestic with clean beds and bathrooms. Plenty of room to spread out or gather as a family. Lots of lounge chairs and dining tables, both indoors and outdoors for meals. Board games, card, puzzles, some toys, and many books are available. There’s much to do for all ages. We spent hours on the beach, by the pool, under the hut, and kayaking on the bay. At night, we sat on the beach to see the sunset and bioluminescence. We saw many geckos, big and small hermit crabs near the pool, more crabs on the beach, and a mongoose by the trees that line the yard along the water. There’s water fowl, deer, and you may even spot a turtle pop his head up in the bay. The property is covered with majestic palm trees. There were coconuts, mangos, and genip in abundance. The flowering trees and shrubs bring color to the sprawling green landscape. The kitchen is clean and well-equipped for preparing meals. We shopped at Cost U Less for breakfast and lunch foods. We cooked a few dinners and ate out a few nights.

The property was amazing, we had a huge private beach all to ourselves. We enjoyed kayaking in the Bio Bay and shell hunting on the beach. The kitchen was large and it was easy to prepare meal. The house is dated, but you don't spend much time in there anyway, so it doesn't matter. Everything was clean. The property hosts were next door and were readily available when we needed anything. They were super nice and helpful. I would recommend this property to anyone.

The location of this home is amazing! Our tour guide from Bush Tribe said there's nothing like it on St. Croix. In fact, he’d always been curious about the property, so we invited him over to check it out! If you're looking for an immaculate, state-of-the-art home, you should know this home is older and quirky. As such, there were minor things that needed repaired, but nothing that bothered us or hindered our stay! The home is spacious, clean & comfortable. We loved the large kitchen for preparing meals & the table that had plenty of room to eat together. The bar was fun for mixing drinks!! The pool was clean & deep (the deck had a few lifted boards, so watch your step). The grounds were immaculate & private!! Even though the care takers live next door, we hardly noticed them. The beach by far was our favorite spot! Calm, shallow water that would be perfect for little ones. We really enjoyed the kayaks! We easily could have stayed at the property for the whole week, but made ourselves go out and explore the island. Hands down this is the best home I’ve rented on VRBO. We were sad to leave & hope to make it back some day!!

I loved everything about this property. The private beach, pool and the house itself was as amazing as pictured! The kayaks and canoe were fantastic to use while we were there too. Jill the property manager and Yolanda were very nice, helpful and great to work with. We loved every minute we were able to spend here and our time to leave came way too fast. Ours and our kids favorite days were the days we spent staying at the house and relaxing with all it had to offer.

Pictures do not do it justice. Amazing place right on your own private beach. Can’t wait to come back!

This is a fantastic property and great for a family or large group. It has it's own private beach within the salt water bay where our toddlers could play in the samll waves. It's about a 15 minute drive into Christensted, and 20 minutes to Cane Bay, which are the two areas we found ourselves visiting the most.All the pictures shown are part of the property and you'll have all to yourself. It's an older house probably built in the early 60's, but has everything you need including reasonably fast wifi, which I clocked plenty fast at about 8 mbps.

Being right on the beach was wonderful! Tony and Yolanda are lovely and very helpful with anything we needed. Loved it!

Such a wonderful place to unwind. We barely left the property. Wonderful outdoor areas to enjoy the beautiful weather. The beach was perfect for listening to the waves crash on the reef. The pool was used multiple times a day. I especially enjoyed a pre bed swim looking up at the star filled night sky. Lots of birds to watch, geckos an iguana and even a deer one day.

We stayed here a week for my sons 1st birthday. It was beyond my expectations! Exactly what you see in the photos but better! The hosts were able to meet us at the airport and guide us to the private property. They were so sweet and informative and if we ever needed anything they were more than helpful. The property itself is a dream. We were so tempted to stay in our little paradise because it has everything you need. The view, the beach, and an amazing kitchen to prepare food. Not to mention it’s all private!! We honestly spent most of our time here. Can’t wait to come back again!
