This spacious house is located just out of the city in a gated private community. It has a large veranda upstairs to sit out and watch the sea turtles in the surf and to star gaze at night. The house was well equipped for cooking in when you didn’t want to travel out to eat. Chef Juliana prepared our arrival meal. It’s was amazing and much needed after a day of travel. Austin, the caretaker, met us at the airport so we could follow him to the house. That was a help since we needed to get used to driving on the opposite side of the road. Overall, the house met our needs and then some. The pool was warm and relaxing. And we old people found our inner child and trash talked a few rounds of pool in the evenings. We’d definitely stay here again when we travel back to St Croix.

All our interactions with Stephanie, our host, were professional, informative and timely. She responded quickly and in detail to our many questions leading up to our stay. We were a three generation family group of eight including two teenagers. All had a great time in the house and in St. Croix in general. We have rented houses on both Florida coasts, in the Outer Banks, in Virginia beach and in the hills of Western Maryland. Villa Santa Cruz was the best of the lot. It was spacious, clean, well-equipped and with great views. It was, in short, exactly as advertised. The terrific pool was actually much larger than it appears in the photos. Austin, the property manager, was responsive and charming. An unexpected bonus which took the whole week to another level was Chef Juliana. Stephanie advised us of her availability to cater to the house and boy did we take advantage of the opportunity. A welcome meal was provided and ultimately we had Chef "J" prepare three more dinners. All were amazing both in quantity and quality. All in all, a great experience we can recommend to others with enthusiasm!

We had several generations that stayed very comfortably in this house. Austin and Chef J were fantastic and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Truly, the nicest welcome we've ever had and anytime we called, Austin responded almost immediately. There were a few things that I would double check about (if they are important to you). The generator was not working the entire week we were there; we only lost power twice, and for a short period of time. If that's important to you, I'd make sure it had been serviced. The kitchen stove/oven needed a good service, it was taking a long time to heat & on the front left burner and making the house smell of gas every time we used it. We had to open doors to keep the gas fumes down. Lastly, the indoor bath towels could stand to be replaced, several of them smelled moldy (which is probably somewhat due to the humidity and climate). We also needed a couple of extra beach towels, as there was literally one per person. Additionally, the main primary bedroom (top floor left) had a good mattress,the other two primary bedrooms had fairly lumpy mattresses.Lastly, our 3,4&13 year old kids played in the idyllic pool a ton-- they did however all get pretty painful rashes. Several of the adults had itching skin after the pool and we are wondering if it isn't a different chemical used on the island.We were happy with our stay, there were just some wonky things that perhaps were deferred due to the house being up for sale.

There were 7 of us. The 4 ensuites fit us perfectly. We enjoyed the pool, billiards, workout room, outside seating, barbecue, view and room to either congregate or not. The Villa was well stocked with basics and they provided us with a great catered meal the first day.

Spent the week here in June with the family, including teens and small children. House was perfect and a hit with everyone - great for gathering and spending time together but plenty of privacy when needed. Pool and the beach were both great. Some truly awesome snorkeling right off the beach from the house though a little tricky getting out but totally doable and worth it - amazing corals, reef fish, turtles, nurse sharks, etc. The Columbus landing beach nearby was also lovely and pretty much empty. Having a meal waiting for us when we arrived was unexpected and so wonderful after a day of travel. Would definitely stay here again with a large group. Thank you!

The house was just as beautiful as shown in pics. It was definitely the most well stocked home of any vacation rental we’ve ever had. Absolutely had everything we needed. Gorgeous views. Pool was nice!

Location was great. On the water with a beach within walking distance & some good snorkeling. Area felt safe & secure. Was within 20-25 minutes from Christiansted. Austin was so nice & helpful. He met us at the airport to guide us to the villa & was so patient with us while we stopped at a grocery store to pick up supplies. Chef Juliana cooked us dinner the night of our arrival & it was fabulous! Couldn't have asked for anything more other than cell service or more wifi. Would definitely love to come back one day

Stephanie and Austin are great. This property is very beautiful and accommodating for a large group. Something for everyone to do. Check-in and check-out was simple. Bedrooms are spacious and bathrooms were perfect. Pool or beach right out the back door. Hope to make it back there again someday.

This was a long-awaited trip to the US Virgin Islands. Finding Villa Santa Cruz-after another property required repairs and became unavailable-was a thrill! The property was presented with amazing accuracy, the process to secure a reservation was easy, and the host provided excellent and welcoming information in advance! Our stay was perfect and the villa offered comfort and spacious luxury. The manager was extremely responsive and helpful when needed. St Croix was the dream we imagined and offers more than we could begin to do in a week. We hope to return in the future and Villa Santa Cruz will be at the top of our list!!

Spent 3 weeks at Villa Santa Cruz. Beautiful, well maintained property centrally located on St. Croix. Kitchen and great room with veranda overlooking the pool and ocean were perfect! Outdoor grill space and workout room were a bonus. Property managers were super attentive and friendly. Great stay!!!

If you are looking for the perfect peaceful spot, this is it! We saw sea turtles and sting rays everyday. We enjoyed dinner from Chef J our first night with delicious rum punch!

This property is absolutely fantastic. We went on a friends trip and had a blast! It’s better than then the pictures. Would for sure come back!

This home with 4 bedrooms all having private bathrooms is very comfortable for a large family. We had 3 generations and all had plenty of private space. The open great room is perfect for getting together. The views and privacy can’t be beat. Great Vacation Spot.

The property was spectacular, even better than we expected. The house was clean, comfortable, and beautiful. The beach and reef access was a huge plus and we snorkeled a ton. Lots of sea turtles and rays that you could watch from the pool! Austin was so helpful and they had a delicious meal waiting when we arrived. Will definitely be returning as soon as possible. Highest possible recommendation!

Beautiful villa with many amazing vistas. Lots of space for three couples to spread out although we spent most of our time on the upper veranda with an amazing view of the ocean.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time at Villa Santa Cruz. The property was exactly as advertised (if not better). Austin met us at the airport and escorted us to the property and Chef Jay made us two delightful meals. Our entire family would not hesitate to return to this wonderful property.

We had a group of 8 adults for our trip to St. Croix. Our stay at Villa Santa Cruz was epic! The house was fantastic! Plenty of room for all of us to hang out together for dinners, on the patio for coffee or cocktails and down at the pool. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you'll need. Loved the BBQ area outside. It's a great house to just hang out and enjoy the incredible views. On a clear day you can see St. John and St. Thomas. The grounds were beautifully maintained, the pool was wonderful - we brought floaties but there were some available to borrow as well. We so appreciated the coolers and beach chairs available to borrow for a couple of excursions we took to some different beaches. The beach right behind the house is rocky but still totally doable with appropriate footwear. So much fun looking for shells! We loved seeing the Eagle Rays - we had three that visited most mornings and evenings to feed - so fun to watch! The marine life is great - fun to snorkel - a bit sketchy because of the waves at times and watch out for the sea urchins! Austin was incredibly gracious and met us at the airport upon our arrival so we could follow him back to the house. Driving on the left side of the road is an adventure for sure! You really should rent a car though - makes getting around the island so much eaiser. Beware of GIANT potholes in the road! We had asked Juliana to make us a special dinner on our first night to celebrate a couple of anninversaries - DELICIOUS!!! We had leftovers for days and days! Exploring the island is easy and fun. Just get in the car and drive! We did the Buck Island Tour - MUST DO FOR SURE. Golfing at The Reef (course is a bit rough, but still beautiful and a nice little 9-hole course). Point Udall and a hike. Lunch at The Landing - blackened tuna bites - YUMMY! Rainbow Beach (we found a little secluded spot that was amazing). Rented kayaks at Salt River marina. It's so easy to do all the things OR just sit and watch the ocean. Truly one of the best vacations we've ever taken. This was our first visit to St. Croix, but I can guarantee it won't be the last. Book this house! You won't regret it!

A beautiful, well designed house perfect for a group. The location was great with a large pool and a perfect kitchen equipped with everything you need to cook during your stay. The property manager Austin, was extremely responsive. We also had a meal prepared by Julianna which was excellent. Can’t wait to go back!!

Villa Santa Cruz – 11/19-26/22 The Villa is in a good location, north central, and was clean and well maintained. It has a beautiful view of the ocean and we enjoyed watching the waves role in from the many northside windows. The special attributes exceeding our expectations were Austin, the Property Manager, meeting us at the airport to lead us to the Villa and then explain all the details; the hors d’oeuvres provided by the owner; Austin’s wife, Chef Jay, catered three of our meals including a full Thanksgiving dinner, all arriving on time, well prepared, hot and ready to eat. The home is spacious with 4 BRs, a den, a large kitchen, dining area and family room, a nice size pool, pool table and exercise room. The generator was needed periodically and worked well. The owner and staff were very responsive. We would definitely want to stay there again.

Owners and property managers were so amazing! They went the extra mile to ensure 2 ladies had an unforgettable birthday. I’m hoping to book annually 😁

The location was great and the views were amazing. Will definitely stay here again. A great house on the beach very well managed!! Great job. It made the trip very special. Thanks!

Great family home to enjoy St Croix we had 3 generations enjoying a couple of birthdays. Austin and Juilianna were great. We had Julianna cook one night really yummy food that we had leftovers for days the rotis were incredible. We did bioluminescence in bay close by, private trimaran to Buck island snorkeling n beaching Capt Carl was amazing. Hamilton tour was very educational. The botanical tour n farm museum tour were all great historical educational experiences great beaches . The best was the Moka jumbies stilt walkers n dancing with them at the Palms n Deep end, fire dancers, cultural dancing amazing. The whole experience was great plus no passports required. We have an oceanfront home on the big island that we have on vrbo so we know what it’s like to keep a property up n villa Santa Cruz was kept up very well. Austin was great even bringing a bag to the airport that we forgot at the house. The whole experience was great even the 8 n 17 year old grandkids weren’t bored, sailing , jet skis, beaching, even got engrossed in the culture. MOKA JUMBIES !!! Thank you for a great family vacation we would love to go back

My entire family enjoyed the beautiful house and scenery. My grandchildren couldn’t get enough of the pool. Thank you for the dinner it was delicious! Austin, helped us doing our stay.

It was A beautiful property! Luved our stay there and would return if we go back to St. Croix!We had an issue of our own doing and they answered right away and helped to solve It! Very impressed. We have stayed in other villas on other islands, but I feel this was our favorite. Beautiful property!

We had a wonderful time. Highly recommend Villa Santa Cruz. We had 6 adults and 4 children ages 6.7.8 and 9. They loved playing in the pool and hunting for crabs. We all loved going to the beautiful beaches. It was so nice to come back to a nice house like Villa Santa Cruz.

The experience was simple and the house was just amazing! We had so much fun snd enjoyed every minute of our week in your beautiful home!!

Lovely home to spend vacation in the Caribbean

Villa Santa Cruz is a little peace of Heaven on earth. Fully stocked with items you made need while there. As well as extra edibles and libations. Our family of six greatly enjoyed it. Thanks Austin for helping us out while we were on the Island. Thanks Stephanie for sharing your beautiful home with others. The Benton & Mains family.

The villa is as described and pictured. No surprises. The views and pool are outstanding - you really don't want to leave. The villa is spacious and and comfortable and you feel like you are in your own quarters when you are in your rooms. I do not like villas where there are bedrooms for multiple people/couples but not enough living/sitting space. That is not the case here. Everyone was able to sit comfortably everywhere together. Beds were super comfortable. Firm and I normally don't like firm, but it was very comfortable. Pillows not as much - the MB could benefit from new pillows Kitchen had what we needed to cook and plenty of space. We had a few issues but Austin the property manager was responsive and helped. The villa isn't very close (walkable) to things - so I'd recommend a vehicle - plus then you can explore. As others point out - there really isn't a beach - but that is mentioned in the description so it was not a surprise and shouldn't be for others. One note - VRBO says check-out is 11am but it's really 9:30 - for those that have later flights - make note and have a plan. Some commented on it being run down. It is not. If anything you might call it slightly weathered but being waterfront and exposed to salt air every waterfront property has some weathering. Overall I would highly recommend and would easily stay here again.

What a great home and you cannot beat the view!! All four bedrooms have their own bathrooms and three of the four bedrooms have ocean views. The home is located in Salt River which makes it close to Cane Bay and downtown Christiansted. Austin, the property manager, was wonderful and when we arrived there was a delicious prepared meal and snacks made by his wife. I would highly recommend this property
