What an amazing property with the most gorgeous view. Everything about this property was accurate.The layout and space for the family was perfect. I really enjoyed the walking around the property. From the privacy to the amazing Kitchen, this by far is one of the best. And thank you to Nick for answering any questions needed to be answered.

We really enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous property. The view is amazing and we loved exploring the grounds. One of the best nights we had was dinner under the gaslights in the Sugar Mill. Unforgettable memories made. Central air was a big plus as a lot of properties only have in the bedrooms. Pool was refreshing and outdoor new bathroom very convenient. Kitchen well stocked for cooking and many extras supplied. Only suggestion would be curtains or blinds for the windows.

We had a great time, the property was as described. Enjoyed exploring the property and surrounding area. The book is interesting on the property, wish we could have known what the. Building in the property use to be or what they looked like. The manager was wonderful and had us follow him to the property as to get there without complication, I am glad he did as our GPS would not have got us there.

Our family had a wonderful vacation in this home. It was spacious enough to accommodate all of us comfortably, yet the home felt extremely cozy. We spent a great deal of time on the covered porch, mornings, afternoons, and late into the evenings. The location was convenient and we felt so secluded and safe within the confines of the sprawling grounds. Every time we explored the property we found another interesting piece of history. Nick, the property manager, was so friendly, helpful, and always available to assist if needed. We loved it here!

Beautiful view, wonderful gardens. Historic property. We spent a big part of each evening on the porch and it was delightful. We had a great time but I do think there are some modest changes that would make it even nicer.
The bedrooms are separated from the living space by bifold door. That is not adequate for privacy. Lack of shades in the windows diminishes it further. Each bedroom could use a real door and some shades.
The available TV worked fine but the screen is pretty small for such a nice property. May seem petty because no one comes to St Croix to watch tv. We were on site for Super Bowl weekend and the current tv was a bit better than watching it on our phones but not by much.
The mattress and box spring in the western guest room needs to be replaced. Inadequate support. Even a full sheet of plywood to replace the slats would help.
I want to give kudos to Nick, the property manager. He could not have been nicer and was a big help in getting us set up for our week. He patiently waited for us to grab our groceries. Very fine asset for your property.

Perfect Location on a Really Unique Property
This was our first trip to St. Croix and we couldn't have been happier with our choice of accommodations. The house and grounds are beautiful and well maintained. It offered all the things we needed for our stay. The kids loved the pool. Especially my youngest. It was a real treat to have Thanksgiving dinner in the old windmill. The central location of the property is great, with Frederiksted, Christiansted, and the north shore beaches all a short drive away. If we ever make it back to St. Croix we would try to book it again. Thanks

We loved the Salt Rover Sugar Mill and enjoyed the historical buildings, mature gardens, fruit trees, and privacy that the property offered. Great views of the ocean from the house and front porch, steady ocean breeze, and stargazing at night. The home and guest quarters are modest but comfortable and sufficient. The kids loved the pool. The location was convenient for us and we really enjoyed visiting St. Croix.

We stayed at Chucks house on St Croix in early May and had a fabulous time!
The house exceeded my expectations and was very comfortable for our group of 5 adults. We even had two of our friends who lived on the island stay with us one night and there was plenty of room for 7 people. Two couples stayed in the Main House and my mom and friends stayed in the pool house/cabana.
The view from the veranda was amazing and you could see St Thomas and St John in the distance on a clear day.
The best part about the property was the sugar mill where we enjoyed having dinner each night. It was lit by propane lanterns and was a real treat to enjoy with plenty of room for all of us to have dinner. The house is located on an old sugar plantation and there are ruins, a sugar mill, and even an underground tunnel which was fun to explore.
If you are planning a trip to St Croix this house is the perfect place to stay. Secluded private location with plenty of room for a family or group of friends.
We would love to return here if we ever go back to the Virgin Islands.
Thank you to Chuck and Nick for hosting us!

This is a unique property with fascinating grounds and a beautiful setting. We loved the history and furnishing. Eating in the windmill with gas lanterns was very special. Great pool. Excellent location (mid Island) near Salt Water River. Highly recommended.

Everything is Wonderful
Everything about this stay was wonderful. From booking through checkout the hosts were attentive, patient, clear and kind. The property manager was available at all times and was always helpful. The property itself is unbelievable, true to the pictures but so much better in person. Guests said, "It's the most beautiful view that one could imagine" and "it the most beautiful place she had ever been to." It's the perfect place to take a break from reality. We woke up everyday and saw something on the land that we hadn't seen the day before, including deer and the yellow breast, the national bird of the USVI. I almost don't want to write this review so this can stay as a best kept secret. For the cost, amenities, comfort, service and THE VIEW I can't imagine a better stay on St. Croix (and I'm from there). Thank you for making your "happy ending" available to us. There were very long faces when it was time to leave and memories of the view from the porch are currently sustaining me through the dark winter days.
