Best Buck Island Views on North Shore: The View

This apartment is called "The View" for a reason, you won't find one any better! The perfect king bedroom with an extra queen sofa-bed for a family of 4 or two couples. Recently remodeled, you'll love the peace and tranquilness of our little mountain top. Brand new AC just installed March 2022! This is central to everything and located on the scenic route with the best views on the island! Over 180 degrees of views looking East to Buck Island and Christiansted Harbor to the South West across Windsor's Forest to the South Shore. Watch the ships sail across the seas. Deer regularly pass through the property and drive. Just 10 minutes from Cane Bay Beach and some of the world's best scuba diving off "The Wall." Only 15 minutes from downtown Christiansted, and 20 minutes from downtown Fredericksted, this property is centrally located if you're looking to venture across the island during your trip! The owner of the property is happy to take you on guided hikes to the tide pools, lighthouse, into the rain forest to see the beer drinking pigs, or better yet take you to some of the best shore diving spots on the island. The large spacious one bedroom apartment comes equipped with a king size bed and a sofa-sleeper couch. A full size dining room pub table and a large granite and stone walled full-size kitchen with gas stove, microwave, coffee maker and fridge also await you at The View. The View is part of the Windchime Estates, a property known for it's constant Eastern breezes, and built from pieces of the late trimaran which sailed the world twice, Windchime! A workspace for your laptop and living room TV with Netflix are ready for the evenings when you just want to hang out and relax. Brand new AC just installed March 2022! You'll want to rent a Jeep while staying at the property as the roads on the island can be rough to drive at times. WIFI and a light breakfast and snacks are included, and so is your very own bottle of Cruzan Rum! You will absolutely love your stay at The View! Full use of the apartment named The View, and access to the patio. We live in a house on property, so we are usually on site in case you need anything. You can also call or text throughout your stay if you have any issues. Our neighborhood is one of a kind and known for its incredibly views of the North Shore, Buck Island, and the island overall. Full of tropical floral and fauna, the drive in is not only beautiful but adventurous too! You'll want to rent a Jeep if you're staying with us on the North Shore. The roads on St. Croix in general are filled with potholes and the extra rugged height comes in handy. Specifically we live on a dirt mountain road, so you'll get use of the Jeep coming down our long driveway down the hill. There is no reliable public transportation on St. Croix, including the taxi companies (They won't take you everywhere you want to go) so plan to rent a vehicle. We live in the mountains on St. Croix. It's beautiful, but the roads are not always maintained well by the Virgin Islands Government. We live on a dirt road, require you have a car rental (no public transport), and we recommend that you rent a Jeep or SUV when staying with us. In general, roads on St. Croix are not that great. Jeeps are the most popular vehicles on island, so be sure to rent one early!

We stayed there for 3 nights with our older son. The apartment is facing the ocean with a great view over the Christiansted area, up on the hill, and is very quiet. You will need a 4WD for the last 150 yards to the house, but you will benefit from it anyway give the road system on the island;-) We mostly enjoyed Cane Bay with diving The Wall - the 2nd best shore diving area in the world.

This apartment is very comfortable with a spectacular view. It is roomy. Shaleece and Will, the owners, are very friendly and responsive to our needs. There was construction but it did not bother us because we were fully aware prior to our arrival.. The breeze keeps the place cool. The kitchen is delightful to cook in. As Will states there is a dirt road about 100 yards but is not difficult to navigate. The apartment Is centrally located to access many parts of the island. Which makes it a nice location .

A perfect property to stay out of the way with a great view. The breeze kept the apartment comfortable the whole week, without needing fans or AC. It seems like miles away from everything, but it was only a 10 to 20 minute ride to anywhere we wanted to go. Cane bay beach was a perfect, close getaway. The directions provided by the host were spot on. We found that putting “Concordia Ridge Neighborhood”(Christensted) into Google maps got us back home easily. King size bed was comfortable as was the couch (didn’t try the sofa bed). Basic condiments in the fridge helped with the cost of groceries. I would highly recommend this to anyone comping to St Croix for a visit! Thanks for the great experience!!

Renting the property was extremely transparent. Everything was as advertised. The host and family were very responsive and accommodating. The adventure started with navigating to the property. Being first time visitors, it was a adjustment. The drive up to the property was amazing and set the stage for what was to come. Once there The View was everything and more. The apartment was extremely comfortable. The host provided everything to make you feel at home. The air conditioning worked wonderfully and was a welcomed relief after being out in the sun all day. The view was more than expected. The sun wakes you up in the morning

You should not advertise this property for mor than two since the plus two accommodations were in poor shape. Replace the sleeper couch immediately as it was extremely dirty and worn out. Remove or replace the chandelier in the living room so guests don't bump their heads and the tv cabinet can be opened. Provide a map(even hand drawn via pdf) to guests and travel instructions prior to the day of arrival. Also, provide check in instructions prior to the day of arrival. Communication needs to improve.

First,...we didn't even stay at the property. We got no specific instructions for entry into the property and no answers to our calls. When we arrived we discovered what could only be described as a construction zone. I had no idea what part of the home was "ours" and had to discover the flat by trying to open several doors. The home was obviously in a state of major construction with lumber and supplies/trash piled up all around (see photos). Lastly, once we did gain access, we discovered the rental had no AC. I understand why that might be renters due diligence, but honestly if you're renting to people that are quite used to that (who isn't on vacation in a tropical climate?!) Then disclosure of no AC should be made in my opinion! If VRBO wants to do the right thing, they would credit us half our rate. We ended up paying for a hotel on the fly. This is my first bad experience with flat rental...and I won't soon forget it.

The home was nice, overlooking some of the island, you would need a 4x4 (recommend) a car would do ok, but home is off road of down hill, and uphill. The only reasons for my rating is the construction noise in the morning, being on vacation I wanted sleep lol. Other than that it was quite nice, and quiet at night. Once the construction is completed this will be a perfect spot.

Due to the fact that this property lacks privacy curtains while under construction, I did not feel comfortable anytime during my stay. As a female traveling alone, this was very upsetting, it was like staying in a glass house. The only place of privacy is in the bathroom and the bedroom. I woke up to strange men milling around the unit, on more than one occasion. Not to mention the scaffolding that was placed on my second day there completely marring the view that the property's main attraction. There is construction material all around the unit, ( scaffolding, piles of wood, construction trash bin, etc) There was even a beer can on the ground by a pile of wood near the entrance that no one bothered to pick up during, my entire 5-day stay. The host should not advertise this as a vacation rental while the property is in this condition. The directions the host gave me to the property started mid-way to the property, not from the airport, ferry, or Seaplane. Simpler directions could have been given to avoid to the guest upon arrival. I have lived on St Croix and got turned around using those directions. It is really only four turns to the property from the airport. The hill up to the property is steep and has tight curves, be careful. The road to the property is extremely rough. you cannot rent a car to get to this property, you will tear the undercarriage apart. I could even allow local friends to visit me due to the condition of this road. The host requires quiet time between 10 pm and 7 am. However the I did not get much quiet time to study with the small child running around all day above me. This was not a place to relax, it was like staying in a rented inner-city apartment, which is NOT what I came to St Croix for. When all the construction is completed I have no doubt this will be a wonderful place to stay, until then the host would do well to realize that guests need privacy curtains and quiet time for themselves too. Final note, there is NO A/C in this unit. The only ceiling fan is in the bedroom. There are two floor fans in the unit, If you need A/C this is not the property for. As a past resident of St Croix, I know how to use the winds to my advantage to cool off the unit. The winds are finicky and the unit doesn't always cool to the low 70's in the fall, and never in the summer. The host has no control over this, just FYI. More transparency in the listing of this property should have been given in the listing.
